NCT ID: NCT01020916 Completed - Clinical trials for Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Target Temperature Management After Cardiac Arrest

TTM
Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Experimental studies and previous clinical trials suggest an improvement in mortality and neurological function with hypothermia after cardiac arrest. However, the accrued evidence is inconclusive and associated with risks of systematic error, design error and random error. Elevated body temperature after cardiac arrest is associated with a worse outcome. Previous trials did not treat elevated body temperature in the control groups. The optimal target temperature for post-resuscitation care is not known. The primary purpose with the TTM-trial is to evaluate if there are differences in all-cause mortality, neurological function and adverse events between a target temperature management at 33°C and 36°C for 24 hours following return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest.

NCT ID: NCT01020617 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

The Effect of Probiotics on Low-grade Inflammation, Microbiota and Risk Factors for Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Children

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

Metabolic syndrome and thereby obesity is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation and it is likely that this is also the case in children (Ley et al., 2005). It has also been shown that the gut microbiota is different in obese individuals compared to normal weight individuals and that the microbiota seems to have a role in fat storage (Backhead et al, 2004). Intervention study with overweight and normal weight school age children. The children will be randomised to receive selected probiotics or a placebo. Fecal and blood samples will be collected, and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, skin folds) will be recorded before and after the intervention. The dynamic of the microbiota of the GI will be monitored by molecular methods. Markers of intestinal inflammation (calprotectin) and permeability will be analysed. Blood samples will be analysed to evaluate how the intervention influence the systemic polarization of the immune response by means of cytokine analyses. Furthermore, blood pressure, blood lipid profile and early markers of metabolic syndrome will be evaluated. Hypotheses This study will examine if overweight in children is associated with a different intestinal microbiota and if a change in microbiota caused by probiotics can modify inflammation and risk factors for the metabolic syndrome.

NCT ID: NCT01020500 Completed - Muscle Spasticity Clinical Trials

To Document the Effectiveness of BoNT-A Injection in Adult Subjects With Upper Limb Spasticity Following Stroke

ULIS2
Start date: January 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the study is to assess the responder rate as defined by the achievement of the primary goal from the Goal Attainment Scale following one BoNT-A injection cycle in accordance with routine practices.

NCT ID: NCT01020448 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Effect of Triptorelin (Decapeptyl®) 22.5 mg on Two Biomarkers in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer

Triptocare
Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an initial hormonal treatment gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH Agonist) on 2 biomarkers (PCA3 and TMPRSS2-ERG), in patients with histologically confirmed and advanced stages of prostate cancer. Their characteristics, according to risk factors such as PSA and Gleason score will be determined at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 month post-treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01019928 Completed - Clinical trials for Sensitivity in Esophagus

Esophageal Hypersensitivity Study in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to compare sensitivity of visceral pain in the esophagus using different pain stimuli.

NCT ID: NCT01019213 Completed - Clinical trials for Atrioventricular Block

Acute and Chronic Effect of His-pacing in Consecutive Patients With AV-block

Start date: September 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Conventional right ventricular (RV) apical pacing may result in asynchronous ventricular contraction with delayed left ventricular activation, interventricular motion abnormalities, and worsening of left ventricular ejection fraction. His pacing is preserving a synchronous contraction and may prevent a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction. Hypothesis: His-pacing preserves left ventricular function and is a feasable alternative compared to RV septal septal pacing in patients with AV-block.

NCT ID: NCT01018277 Completed - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Effect of Mobilization on Acute Postoperative Pain and Nociceptive Function

Start date: December 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Observational

Aim of the present study is twofold. - First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain - Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty

NCT ID: NCT01018173 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

A Study of Taspoglutide in Patients With Inadequately Controlled Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Cardiovascular Disease

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

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel arm study will assess efficacy and safety and the effects of taspoglutide on cardiovascular events in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. Patients will be randomized to receive either taspoglutide subcutaneously (sc) 10mg weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg sc weekly, or weekly sc placebo, in addition to background anti-hyperglycemic medication and standard of care treatment for cardiovascular disease. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 2 years. Target sample size is 2000 patients.

NCT ID: NCT01017952 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

A Study to Evaluate Annual Rate of Exacerbations and Safety of 3 Dosage Strengths of Fluticasone Furoate (FF)/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Start date: September 25, 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

NCT ID: NCT01017614 Completed - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Iron Oligosaccharide in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Subjects With Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Start date: October 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate that intravenous iron oligosaccharide is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in reducing iron deficiency anaemia secondary to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evaluated as the ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).
