NCT ID: NCT01166737 Completed - Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials

Study Comparing Tumor Debulking Surgery Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Recurrent Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian Cancer

DESKTOPIII
Start date: July 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is still not clear whether a positive AGO-score just selects patients with less aggressive biologic tumor behavior who as well would have had a positive outcome by chemotherapy only, or , if it is a score selecting patients who really benefit from surgery. Nevertheless, the AGO-score was confirmed to select patients with a less than 30% risk of ending with residual tumor after surgery for recurrent disease. This could avoid including patients into the present surgical protocol who could not benefit from an operationThe goal of this third DESKTOP study is to evaluate in a prospectively randomized multicentre setting, whether maximum effort of cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum based combination chemotherapy can improve overall survival as compared to platinum based combination chemotherapy alone in AGO-score positive patients.

NCT ID: NCT01166685 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Safety and Efficacy Study Comparing 3 New Types of Coronary Stents

Start date: April 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Background: Retrospective analyses of long-term BASKET findings identified patients with large drug-eluting stents (DES) (>2.5mm Stents) as patients at risk for late cardiac death/nonfatal myocardial infarction. In view of new DES with absorbable polymers and new bare metal stents BMS) with thin struts and biocompatible polymers, BP-II will be launched to test their comparative clinical safety up to 12 years if treated with an aspirin/prasugrel combination, since prasugrel halved stent thrombosis rates compared to clopidogrel in a large ACS trial. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Nobori DES stent compared to the Xience Prime DES stent on safety and e cacy in patients requiring stents >=3.0mm in diameter on the background of contemporary dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with prasugrel and aspirin Set-up: Multicenter open-label randomized trial. Patient inclusion: Unselected series of patients in need of large (>3mm) stents only in native vessels irrespective of clinical indication. Patient exclusion: In-stent restenosis, Left-main disease, cardiogenic shock, planned surgery <12months, increased bleeding risk, no compliance expected, History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Randomization: By centre using sealed envelopes 1:1:1: Nobori:Xience Prime:Prokinetik-stent.

NCT ID: NCT01166269 Completed - Allergy Clinical Trials

Study to Asses Efficacy of Intralymphatic Immunotherapy

ILIT
Start date: July 2010
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to try a new route for specific immunotherapy (SIT). The current treatment form for SIT is subcutaneously (SCIT), which is a long treatment with up to 50 injections subcutaneously in the upper arm. The investigators believe that there is additional effect if the allergen is injected directly into the lymph node, since it is here, the allergen presentation is happening. The trial has been performed in Switzerland with significant effect of only three injections of grass-allergen into a lymph node (Clinicaltrials.gov; NCT00470457). The investigators would like to see what happens if the the dose is doubled, so the patients will receive 6 injections all in all, with the same amount of allergen as the earlier study (1000 SQ-U). Also the outcome measurements is slightly different as the patients will note their symptoms in a diary. The patients will be divided into three groups using allocation: 1 group with 6 injections of allergen 1 group with 3 injections of allergen and 3 injections of placebo 1 group with 6 injections of placebo. The trial will be double blinded.

NCT ID: NCT01166165 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Effect of Vitamin D Replacement During Winter Months in Patients With Hypertension

Start date: July 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

High blood pressure is related to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death, and accounts for approximately 8 mill deaths worldwide each year. Blood pressure exhibits a seasonal variation with a tendency to increase during winter months. Vitamin D deficiency is more common during months where UVB radiation from the sun is absent, and vitamin D has been associated with high blood pressure. This study will evaluate the effect of vitamin D replacement during winter months on blood pressure and vasoactive hormones in patients with high blood pressure.

NCT ID: NCT01164111 Completed - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Preoperative Resistance Training in Patients Scheduled for Total Hip Arthroplasty

Start date: October 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pre operative resistance training on subjects scheduled for total hip arthroplasty due to primary osteoarthritis. Background: Decreasing performance with age due to age related muscle loss is well known. Resistance training in elderly has shown significant effect in regaining both muscle force and function. It has been shown that a chronic condition with limitations in function as seen in osteoarthritis of the hip decreases both muscle performance and size. Studies of resistance training of the hip related muscle groups in the early postoperative period after total hip arthroplasty have shown significant effect on muscle force and function. Few studies have investigated preoperative intervention, all with lighter types of training such as water pool training. The effect of preoperative resistance training on subjects with primal osteoarthritis of the hip is yet to be described. Study hypothesis: Preoperative resistance training will significant improve outcomes on both primal and secondary effect parameters pre surgery and at 1 year followup.

NCT ID: NCT01162811 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

Visualization and Structured Attention Behaviour for Pain and Anxiety Reduction During Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Start date: November 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of visualization and relaxation exercises together with a structured behavioural attention from nurses during ablation of atrial fibrillation. The study will test the following hypothesis which is also aim for intervention: Relaxation and visualization performed in patients during ablation of atrial fibrillation combined with structured attention behaviour from the nurse reduces the patient's experience of pain and anxiety - and secondary reduces the consumption of painkillers and the number of episodes of adverse outcome that requires extra attention from staff. The survey is conducted as a controlled trial with a control group and an intervention group.

NCT ID: NCT01160627 Completed - Clinical trials for Contrast Induced Nephropathy

Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Start date: April 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of prevention of contrast induced nephropathy in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Three-center study Acute kidney injury was defined as a rise in creatinine >25% from baseline Serum creatinine will be measured at baseline and each day for the following 3 days and at 30 days. Patients will be randomised to: 1. Standard treatment 2. Standard treatment + acetylcystein for 2 days 3. Standard treatment + Sodium bicarbonate 500 ml / followed by 100 ml/h for 5 hours 4. Standard treatment + acetylcystein for 2 days + Sodium bicarbonate 500 ml / followed by 100 ml/h for 5 hours

NCT ID: NCT01158625 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Nighttime Dosing of Antihypertensive Drugs in Type 2 Diabetes

Start date: August 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate if it is possible to lower the nighttime blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by shifting the administration of antihypertensive drugs from morning to nighttime.

NCT ID: NCT01158612 Completed - Elderly Clinical Trials
