Start date: July 27, 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RO5212054 [PLX3603] in participants with BRAF V600-mutated advanced solid tumors. Cohorts of participants will receive escalating oral doses of RO5212054. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Efficacy and Safety Study of Abatacept Subcutaneous Plus Methotrexate in Inducing Remission in Adults With Very Early Rheumatoid Arthritis

Start date: December 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of the protocol is to demonstrate the ability of abatacept plus methotrexate to induce remission in patients with very early rheumatoid arthritis after 12 months of treatment and to maintain remission following 6 months of drug withdrawal.

NCT ID: NCT01142115 Completed - Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials

Test of Discomfort and Malaise of Two Different Urine Catheters in Healthy Volunteers

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a new developed catheter in comparison with an catheter on the market. The study is randomised.

NCT ID: NCT01141998 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Pancreatitis

Vitamin D Substitution for Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis and Malabsorption

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

Purpose: The overall objective of this study is to learn more about the disease chronic pancreatitis and thus contribute to better treatments. The investigators will gain this by studying the effects of vitamin D in the body immune system and bones. The investigators will also study the uptake of vitamin D through the intestine compared with the amount of vitamin D obtained through exposure to UVB rays. The investigators have set a series of questions which the investigators want to answer with this experiment: Do patients with chronic pancreatitis have reduced absorption of vitamin D from the gut? - Have the two treatment methods with vitamin D, UV radiation and tablets, the same success rate? - Does the distribution of the white blood cells change when the vitamin D level increases and does it depend on whether the patient have UVB radiation or tablet with vitamin D? - Will patients require reduced amounts of painkillers when vitamin D level increases? - Does vitamin D have influence on blood sugar and thus the risk of diabetes or worsening of this? - Could vitamin D affect the blood content of inflammation markers? - Does the patient feel better when he takes vitamin D? - Does bone strength increase when the patients receive grants of vitamin D?

NCT ID: NCT01141803 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Effect of Apple and Apple Pomace on Inflammation and Cholesterol Metabolism in Healthy Overweight

Start date: July 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators will assess the protective and antiinflammatory effects of processed fruit and fruit fibre in overweight subjects with signs of metabolic syndrome. A single-blinded parallel study is conducted to investigate the protective effects of fruit fibre on colonic epithelium. Relevant signalling pathways related to cholesterol metabolism, vascular inflammation, oxidative defence, apoptosis and sterol metabolism will be targeted. Volunteers are randomly assigned one of three groups. They are instructed to follow a polyphenol and pectin restricted diet for six weeks. The last four weeks in this six week period, the restricted diet is supplemented with whole apples (550g/day), apple pomace (22g/day) or nothing. Blood, urine, faecal samples and colon biopsies are collected before and after the four weeks intervention period.

NCT ID: NCT01140932 Completed - Electroretinography Clinical Trials

The Electroretinogram in Healthy and Glucose Intolerant Young Men

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

The purpose is to investigate the electroretinogram (ERG) in young, healthy men in the normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic state before and after intervention with corticosteroids treatment, high calorie diet and exercise restraint.

NCT ID: NCT01139268 Completed - Infertility Clinical Trials

Identification of Viable Human Embryos Using Three Different Methods

Start date: June 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Infertility affects an increasing number of couples. For many, the choice of treatment is in vitro fertilization (IVF) . Currently, there are no markers fully predictive of developmental competence of IVF embryos. Present embryo selection is based on morphology assessment, which produces implantation rates in the range of 20%-30 %. The overall purpose of the present study is to investigate methods for selection of the best embryo. We aim to examine the relationship between pregnancy outcome and the transcriptional profile of selected genes, cleavage kinetics (time-lapse), and metabolic profile. We hypothesise that the quality of the embryo is reflected by the transcription of selected genes, the cleavage kinetics, and the metabolic profile. If so, these parameters can predict the success or failure of a pregnancy. Furthermore, the interrelationship - if any - between these parameters will be evaluated. A secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of blastomere biopsy using time-lapse and metabolic analysis

NCT ID: NCT01138631 Completed - Infertility Clinical Trials

Selection of Embryos by Time-lapse

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

In order to improve success rate by assisted reproductive techniques new techniques are being developed for selection of the embryo with best chance of implantation, establishement of pregnancy and subsequent delivery.The present study is based upon the hypothesis that time-lapse (frequent imaging) may give information about important steps in embryonic development, which could help to optimize selection of embryo(s) for treatment in IVF. The present study evaluates the outcome of conventional embryo culture with culture in a specially developed incubator equipped with a time-lapse system (Embryoscope). Embryos from 50 IVF cycles (400 embryos) will be randomised to either conventional incubation or to culture in the Embryoscope. Embryos will be cultured for five days to the blastocyst stage. The primary endpoint is fraction of embryos developed to the four cell stage.

NCT ID: NCT01138618 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Hematological Clozapine Monitoring With a Point-of-care Device (CHEMPAQ)

CHEMPAQ
Start date: April 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Clozapine remain the drug of choice for treatment resistant schizophrenia and up to 60% of patients not responding to other antipsychotics will respond to clozapine. However, the use of clozapine is restricted due to the risk of agranulocytosis and consequently the need for mandatory hematological monitoring. CHEMPAQ XBC is a point-of-care device that can be used in patients home and analyze WBC and granulocytes by a single capillary blood drop. This study aims to investigate whether this new procedure increases the acceptability of clozapine

NCT ID: NCT01137812 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

The CANTATA-D2 Trial (CANagliflozin Treatment And Trial Analysis - DPP-4 Inhibitor Second Comparator Trial)

Start date: July 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin compared with sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment with metformin and sulphonylurea and have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.
