NCT ID: NCT02051725 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Functional Impairments and Exercise in Older Adults With Low Physical Function,

HANC-Pilot
Start date: November 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

- Aging is associated with a progressive and generalized deterioration of physiologic systems and greater incidence of chronic conditions, which ultimately translates into functional impairment, disability and dependency. - Physical activity and exercise have been recognized as key pillars for the management of chronic diseases in support of medical treatment, and essential to increase physiologic function, but there is only limited evidence indicating increased physical function, following exercise interventions. One of the greatest challenges in the science of aging and exercise is to understand whether and to which extent exercise and active life-style may postpone the onset of disability and/or reverse physical impairments. - Maintenance/improvements of physical function and mobility should be considered as primary targets for independent living, active engagement in societal challenges, and, more in general, when promoting "active ageing". - The aim of this study is to collect preliminary data to identify the feasibility and sustainability of an "active life-style intervention" in older adults with reduced mobility receiving a preventive home visit from the public health care authority. - This study will represent the base for a larger phase III parallel group study implemented in the public health care setting, with the specific aim of improving physical function and delay the onset of functional impairment in older adults.

NCT ID: NCT02051608 Completed - Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials

A Study of Gantenerumab in Participants With Mild Alzheimer Disease

Start date: March 27, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Part 1 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in participants with mild Alzheimer disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either gantenerumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks. Approved Alzheimer medication is allowed if on stable dose for 3 months prior to screening. Part 2 is an open-label extension (OLE). A positron emission tomography (PET) imaging substudy will be conducted within the main study. Eligible participants who provide separate informed consent will undergo PET imaging scans using the radioligand florbetapir as a pharmacodynamic measure of changes in brain amyloid load over time.

NCT ID: NCT02050945 Completed - COPD Clinical Trials

The Effects of Physical Exercise Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the present project is to investigate the physiological effects of two different types of exercise training in COPD patients. The patients will be examined before, during and after 8 weeks of training to evaluate the effect of different types of skeletal muscle stimulation on health related quality of life, 6 min walking distance, flow mediated dilation, and histological properties of skeletal muscle cells, regarding oxidative capacity, fiber type, purinergic receptor amounts and measures of systemic inflammation. The study will test the hypothesis that: Resistance training is superior to endurance training in patients with COPD

NCT ID: NCT02050282 Completed - Dyspnea Clinical Trials

Prehospital Triage of Patients With Severe Shortness of Breath Using Biomarkers

PreBNP
Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Breathlessness is a dangerous symptom. Preliminary data from national and regional Danish databases show, that patients with shortness of breath in the ambulance have a very high mortality. Breathlessness can be caused by many different conditions - but heart diseases and lung diseases are dominant. The mortality is especially high in patients with breathlessness caused by heart disease. Distinguishing these different causes of breathlessness is a classical, often difficult, discipline in medicine. Visitation and guidance of treatment in patients with breathlessness in the prehospital setting relies on medical history and physical examination and as a consequence prehospital treatment for breathlessness is often non-specific. The use of heart-failure specific biomarkers may improve prehospital visitation and treatment of patients with breathlessness. We hypothesize, that 1. Supplementing the routine examination by prehospital anesthesiologist with measurement of a biomarker for heart failure increases the proportion of patients with severe shortness of breath caused by heart disease triaged directly to department of cardiology 2. This strategy does not increase the proportion of patients with severe shortness of breath caused by non-heart disease triaged directly to department of cardiology

NCT ID: NCT02050126 Completed - Scar Revision Clinical Trials

Caesarean Scar Revision With the UltraPulse

Start date: April 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Ten (10) adult female subjects that had a caesarean surgery performed.Study will be conducted in 1 site. Each subject will receive three treatments on one area that was randomly chosen. The other area will be left untreated and will serve as a control. The objective is to Evaluate the clinical impact of UltraPulse fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment on the appearance of a Caesarean Scar (CS) as compared to a similar untreated scar side.

NCT ID: NCT02050074 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

The Role of Metformin and Colesevelam in Human GLP-1 Secretion

ColMetInc
Start date: January 2014
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Our primary hypothesis is that bile acid sequestrant colesevelam and the antidiabetic drug metformin potentiates the secretion of the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1).

NCT ID: NCT02049905 Completed - Clinical trials for Metastatic, Locally Advanced or Unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Phase 3 Study to Treat Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Start date: January 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of aldoxorubicin in subjects with metastatic, locally advanced, or unresectable soft tissue sarcomas.

NCT ID: NCT02047968 Completed - Major Depression Clinical Trials

Wake and Light Therapy to In-patients With Major Depression: Efficacy, Predictors and Patient Experiences

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to examine whether a combination of wake therapy, light therapy and sleep time stabilization as a supplement to standard treatment can reduce depressive symptoms in patients admitted at two psychiatric wards at Aarhus University Hospital, Risskov. Seventy-four patients will be randomized either to this intervention or to a control group receiving treatment as usual. Furthermore, it will be examined whether the duration of admission can be reduced in the intervention group. Finally, the aim is to identify predictors of good effect of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02047682 Completed - Stress Clinical Trials

Implementation of Physical Exercise at the Workplace (IRMA10) - Occupational Load

IRMA10
Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Static postures, repetitive work tasks, and work stress increase the risk for musculoskeletal disorders and sickness absence. Objective measurements of occupational loadings - EMG for muscular activity, EEG for cognitive activity, ECG for cardiovascular activity and heart rate variability, actigraphy for bodily movements - may provide useful early indicators of muscular, cognitive and cardiovascular overload. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an individually tailored bio-psycho-social intervention strategy versus "usual care" ergonomics and standard physical exercises (reference group) on these risk factors in lab technicians with a history of work-related musculoskeletal pain.
