Start date: February 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Evaluate linagliptin in terms of glycemic control as defined by HbA1c after 24 weeks of treatment and in terms of renal efficacy as defined by changes in albuminuria (UACR) after 24 weeks of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01791361 Completed - Clinical trials for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Medical Records Review to Describe the Patterns of KRAS Testing and Vectibix Use in Europe

Start date: September 19, 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This non-interventional retrospective medical record review study will assess the prevalence of KRAS testing and the impact of the KRAS test result on patterns of Vectibix use in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with Vectibix in selected European countries over 3 rounds. As the optimal use of Vectibix also requires accurate KRAS mutation testing, this study will also assess data from the laboratory that performed the KRAS test. The study will also monitor changes in the pattern of Vectibix treatment between the different rounds of the study.

NCT ID: NCT01791348 Completed - Clinical trials for Cognition and Attention in Surgeons and Nurses

The Test-retest Effect of the "d2 Test of Attention".

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

The "d2 test of attention" has been used in studies regarding sleep deprivation due to night shifts in hospital staff, in order to determine whether sleep deprivation has an impact on performance. However, by repeating the test there appears to be a test-retest effect, as the participants improve when performing the test more than once. The aim of this study is to determine, whether the "d2 test of attention" has a test-retest effect.

NCT ID: NCT01791257 Completed - Clinical trials for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

MicroRNA Diagnostics in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Start date: February 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The purpose of this study is to compare the profile of microRNA in cerebrospinal fluid from patients suffering subarachnoid hemorrhage with and without delayed cerebral ischemia.

NCT ID: NCT01791153 Completed - Clinical trials for Giant Cell Arteritis

An Efficacy and Safety Study of Tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) in Participants With Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA)

Start date: July 22, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in participants with GCA. The study will consist of 2 parts: a 52-week double-blind treatment period (Part 1) followed by a 104-week open label long-term follow-up period (Part 2). In Part 1 of the study eligible participants will be randomized to receive either tocilizumab every week (qw) or every 2 weeks (q2w) or placebo for 52 weeks, with tapering oral daily doses of prednisone. After Week 52, participants in remission will stop study treatment and enter long-term follow-up, whereas participants with disease activity or flares will receive open-label tocilizumab or other treatment at the discretion of the investigator for a maximum period of 104 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT01790698 Completed - Clinical trials for Soft Tissue Infections

Systems Medicine to Study Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections (NSTIs).

INFECT
Start date: January 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This proposal focuses on highly lethal destructive tissue infections, i.e. necrotizing fasciitis and other necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs), which are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The fulminant course of NSTIs demands immediate diagnosis and adequate interventions in order to salvage lives and limbs. However, diagnosis and management are difficult due to heterogeneity in clinical presentation, in co-morbidities and in microbiological aetiology. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel diagnostics and therapeutics in order to improve outcome of NSTIs. A comprehensive knowledge of diagnostic features, causative microbial agent, treatment strategies, and pathogenic mechanisms (host and bacterial disease traits and their underlying interaction network) is required for an improved diagnosis and management of NSTIs. The current proposal is designed to obtain such insights through an integrated systems biology approach in patients and experimental models. The project is based on a prospective NSTI patients cohort including a clinical registry to document clinical data and treatment strategies, combined with an isolate and biobank collection. The samples will be analyzed through advanced bioinformatics and computational modelling work flow to identify and quantify pathogen signatures and underlying networks that contribute to disease outcome. One aim is to translate clinical and systems biology data into development of novel diagnostics.

NCT ID: NCT01789593 Completed - Diabetes Clinical Trials

A Trial Investigating the Effect of Acute Hypoglycaemia on Cognitive Function and Brain Activation Patterns in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

Start date: January 14, 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to compare cognitive function and associated brain activation patterns during an acute hypoglycaemic episode and during euglycaemia (normal blood glucose concentration). Additionally, the purpose is to assess cognitive function in the recovery phase after hypoglycaemia or euglycaemia, respectively, in subjects with type 1 diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT01789073 Completed - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Preoperative Oral Immunonutrition for Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Elective Surgery - Effect on Complications and Length of Hospital Stay

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of preoperative immunonutrition on complications and length of hospital stay in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing elective surgery.

NCT ID: NCT01788982 Completed - Clinical trials for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC)

Nintedanib(BIBF1120) in Thyroid Cancer

Start date: May 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

For the treatment of thyroid cancer with the so called targeted therapy the angiogenesis pathway has several potential targets. The Receptors for Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and especially VEGFR-2 is considered to be crucial for the initiation of the formation as well as the maintenance of tumor vasculature. In thyroid cancer these VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2), VEGF itself and receptors of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and for the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are often overexpressed. Other cells as pericytes and smooth muscle cells that are also involved in tumor angiogenesis express these receptors as well. Inhibitors of the VEGFR or PDGFR pathway have been tested in thyroid cancer with positive results. However there is no treatment that is generally considered as standard of care for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) or medullar thyroid cancer (MTC) who have progressed on one line of therapy. The classical cytotoxic chemotherapy has not shown a clinically meaningful benefit yet. Nintedanib is a triple angiogenesis inhibitor which inhibits receptors of VEGF, FGF and PDGF. Therefore it might act not only on endothelial cells but also on pericytes and smooth muscle cells. Nintedanib also interacts with other kinases such as RET. Because of this multi-kinase activity rationale exists to investigate the effect in MTC and DTC. Because it targets these three major angiogenesis signaling pathways it might prevent further tumor growth and related tumor escape mechanisms. Therefore nintedanib may be active in patients who have progressed on agents that target only one pathway.
