Autonomy Among Physically Frail Older People in Nursing Homes

Start date: March 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the status of perceived autonomy and to evaluate the effectiveness of individually tailored programmes on perceived autonomy in physically frail older people living in nursing homes.

NCT ID: NCT00781924 Completed - Focal Liver Lesions Clinical Trials

Interventional Sonography Guided by Image Fusion

Start date: January 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to register the precision of image fusion between live sonography and CT, MRI or PET/CT of liver lesions and other focal lesions in the abdomen. To test whether it will be possible to biopsy guided by image fusion.

NCT ID: NCT00781391 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Global Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of Edoxaban (DU-176b) vs Standard Practice of Dosing With Warfarin in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

EngageAFTIMI48
Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy profile, in two different dose regimens of Edoxaban (DU-176b), (an investigational new drug being tested for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE)), in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: High Dose Regimen, Low Dose Regimen, & Warfarin. The expected duration of the study is 24 months.

NCT ID: NCT00780520 Completed - Sepsis Clinical Trials

The Effect of Glutamine on Systemic Inflammation During Human Experimental Endotoxemia

Start date: June 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Glutamine levels decrease during severe sepsis; this may be associated with increased mortality. The investigators tested the effects of glutamine supplementation on systemic inflammation in a human sepsis model. The investigators found that glutamine levels drops significantly during experimentally induced systemic inflammation. However, glutamine did not affect the degree of inflammation.

NCT ID: NCT00780312 Completed - Clinical trials for Oropharyngeal Cancer

Physiotherapy Treatment for Patients Suffering From Head and Neck Cancer

HOHF
Start date: December 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the extent of late sequelae symptoms(reduced mouth opening, lymphoedema, decreased range of motion in the neck and shoulder region, speech and swallow disorders and reduced facial expression) due to radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer can be reduced by an individually adjusted physiotherapy effort applied immediately after the onset of and during radiotherapy treatment.

NCT ID: NCT00779454 Completed - Cholangiocarcinoma Clinical Trials

Combined Biological Treatment and Chemotherapy for Patients With Inoperable Cholangiocarcinoma

Start date: September 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is partly to continue the good experience the investigators have with chemotherapy and partly to optimize treatment of inoperable cholangiocarcinoma by adding a biological antibody to the treatment of patients with wild-type Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS).

NCT ID: NCT00777647 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Effect of Carbonated Soft Drinks on the Body Weight

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

Compared to solid foods, the nutritional energy of drinks may bypass the appetite regulation leading to obesity development. Although drinks sweetened with aspartame are available the anticipated positive effect of these drinks on obesity development has not been convincing. However, the mechanisms linking drinks intake to obesity are yet to be clarified. The investigators aim is to investigate the long-term effects of intake of soft drinks, milk and water. The study is a parallel, intervention trial with 80 overweight, healthy volunteers. They will be randomly selected to drink one liter a day of one of the four drinks for six months. The objectives are changes in numerous circulating metabolic risk factors, changes in body weight, anthropometric data and fat distribution (measured by DEXA, MRI and MR-spectroscopy). The investigators expect to clarify the mechanisms linking drinking habits to obesity development and provide scientifically based nutritional guidelines.

NCT ID: NCT00776984 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Tiotropium 5 µg/Day Delivered Via the Respimat® Inhaler Over 48 Weeks in Patients With Severe Persistent Asthma on Top of Usual Care (Study II)

Start date: October 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 5 µg tiotropium over a 48-week treatment period as compared to placebo. Tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler will be examined as add-on controller therapy on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma. The primary objective of each trial is to evaluate the long term efficacy of tiotropium over placebo on top of usual care in patients with severe persistent asthma as determined by pulmonary function testing, effects on asthma exacerbations, effects on quality of life, on asthma control and health care resource utilisation. The secondary objective of each trial is to compare the long term safety of tiotropium with placebo in this patient population.

NCT ID: NCT00776971 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Effect of Carbonated Soft Drinks on Appetite-Regulation

Start date: November 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Compared to solid foods, the nutritional energy of drinks may bypass the appetite regulation leading to obesity development. Although drinks sweetened with aspartame are available the anticipated positive effect of these drinks on obesity development has not been convincing. However, the mechanisms linking drinks intake to obesity are yet to be clarified. The investigators aim is to investigate the short-term effects of soft drinks (sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened (aspartame)), milk and water on the concentration of circulating appetite-regulating hormones, the subjective sensations of hunger and satiety (measured by visual analogue scales) and energy intake. The study is a crossover, intervention trial with 24 overweight, healthy volunteers. The subjects will be tested on four separate days for four hours. Each test day a preload drink (sugar-sweetened soft drink, aspartame-sweetened soft drink, semi-skimmed milk or water) is served. The investigators expect to clarify the mechanisms linking drinking habits to obesity development and provide scientifically based nutritional guidelines.

NCT ID: NCT00774345 Completed - Clinical trials for B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lenalidomide as Maintenance Therapy for Patients With B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Following Second Line Therapy

Start date: January 27, 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is safe and effective as a maintenance therapy at improving further the quality of the response you achieved with your last therapy and at prolonging the duration of your response. This study will compare the effects (good and bad) of lenalidomide with the dummy drug.
