NCT ID: NCT02931630 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

The Effect of Whey Protein and Dietary Fibers on Risk Markers of the Metabolic Syndrome and Bone Health

MERITS
Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prevalence of overweight and lifestyle related diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing world wide. The metabolic syndrome (MeS) is a condition characterized by abdominal obesity, high blood lipids, high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar. MeS is associated with an increased risk of developing CVD and T2D. Dietary fibers and whey protein have independently shown beneficial effects on several of these risk factors in previous studies. Whey protein is furthermore seen to show positive effects on bone turnover. The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether an increased intake of dietary fibers and whey protein (separately or combined) over a period of 12 weeks will affect the risk markers of MeS and bone turnover in abdominally obese subjects. A total of 80 people with abdominal obesity will be included. The design is a randomized, double blinded, controlled dietary intervention trial. Subjects are assigned to one of four experimental groups. Each group are provided with test products containing either high or low whey protein and high or low dietary fibers to replace part of their regular diet. The subjects are instructed in how to incorporate the test products in their habitual diets in order to maintain weight stability. The primary outcome is postprandial lipaemia (PPL) - an independent risk factor of developing CVD. PPL is estimated by performing a standardized high fat meal test during which postprandial level of triglycerides is measured. The authors hypothesize that a diet of high content of whey protein and high dietary fiber during 12 weeks will induce a reduction in PPL.

NCT ID: NCT02931539 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Efficacy and Safety Study of Maribavir Treatment Compared to Investigator-assigned Treatment in Transplant Recipients With Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infections That Are Refractory or Resistant to Treatment With Ganciclovir, Valganciclovir, Foscarnet, or Cidofovir

Start date: December 22, 2016
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of maribavir to investigator-assigned anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) therapy in CMV viremia clearance in transplant recipients who are refractory or resistant to prior anti-CMV treatment.

NCT ID: NCT02931383 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Ultrasound of the Knee in Obese Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis; Weight Maintenance

US-LOSEIT-II
Start date: November 2016
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a substudy to a randomised trial investigating the effect of liraglutide on body weight and pain in overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) (NCT02905864). In the parent trial, patients will be subjected to an 8-week diet intervention phase including a low-calorie diet and dietetic counseling, after which patients will be randomised to receive either liraglutide 3 mg or liraglutide 3 mg placebo as an add-on to dietetic guidance on re-introducing regular foods and a focus on continued motivation to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This substudy aims to investigate the impact of, and subsequent change of, joint inflammation and clinical symptoms, in obese patients with knee osteoarthritis following a randomisation to Liraglutide 3 mg or Liraglutide 3 mg placebo treatment between weeks 0-52.

NCT ID: NCT02931370 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Ultrasound of the Knee in Obese Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis; Weight Loss

US-LOSEIT-I
Start date: November 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a substudy to a randomised trial investigating the effect of liraglutide on body weight and pain in overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis (NCT02905864). In the parent trial, patients will be subjected to an 8-week diet intervention phase including a low-calorie diet and dietetic counseling, after which patients will be randomised to receive either liraglutide 3 mg or liraglutide 3 mg placebo as an add-on to dietetic guidance on re-introducing regular foods and a focus on continued motivation to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This substudy aims to investigate any changes in Ultrasound (US) measures associated with the initial 8-week weight loss intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02931058 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoarthritis, Knee

Quadriceps Exercise Before Total Knee Arthroplasty (The QUADX-1 Trial)

QUADX-1
Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The trial investigates the efficacy of knee-extension exercise prior to total knee replacement. The participants are randomly allocated to one of three exercise dosages. There is no control group.

NCT ID: NCT02930551 Completed - Neuropathic Pain Clinical Trials

Neuromas as the Cause of Pain

Start date: September 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Neuromas are frequent after trauma and surgery, including amputation and can be identified by high-resolution ultrasound. The role of neuromas as the cause of neuropathic pain is uncertain. The investigators therefore wish to explore if spontaneous and evoked pain will be relieved by injection of local anesthetics near painful neuromas in subjects with peripheral nerve injury.

NCT ID: NCT02929329 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Registrational Study With Omecamtiv Mecarbil (AMG 423) to Treat Chronic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

GALACTIC-HF
Start date: January 6, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil when added to standard of care is well tolerated and superior to placebo in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure events in adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a substudy to a randomised trial investigating the effect of liraglutide on body weight and pain in overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis (NCT02905864).
