VOLT
Start date: June 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

NCT ID: NCT00678886 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

Trial of Otelixizumab for Adults With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (Autoimmune): DEFEND-1

DEFEND-1
Start date: July 29, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to find out if an 8-day series of otelixizumab infusions leads to greater improvement in insulin secretion as compared with placebo infusion. Insulin secretion will be assessed using mixed meal-stimulated C-peptide. Subjects will be assigned to receive either otelixizumab or placebo at a ratio of 2:1 (2/3 otelixizumab, 1/3 placebo). These study agents will be administered as an addition to insulin, diet, and other physician determined standard of care treatments. DEFEND-1 is now closed to enrollment. DEFEND-2 will begin early in 2010. It is very similar to DEFEND-1 and will again require subjects with new onset type 1 diabetes. Please check back here for more details. In the meantime, established and new onset type 1 diabetes patients in North America are welcome to consider the TTEDD study: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00451321?term=TTEDD&rank=1

NCT ID: NCT00678522 Completed - Healthy Subjects Clinical Trials

The Acute Effect of Atorvastain on Renal Function in Patients With Type II Diabetes

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

We wanted to test the hypothesis that acute treatment with atorvastatin changes renal sodium excretion, glomerular filtration rate, tubular function and vasoactive hormones in patients with type II diabetes, not in treatment with insulin.

NCT ID: NCT00678236 Completed - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

A Migration and Bone Density Study Comparing 2 Types of Bone Cement in the OptiPac Bone Cement Mixing System

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

The goal of this scientific study is to determine whether there are differences in early migration and prosthesis-near bone density when a standard knee prosthesis is fixed with Refobacin Bone Cement R or with Refobacin Plus Bone Cement. Migration will be evaluated with RSA and bone density around the prosthesis with DEXA. The study will be successful if the prosthesis is fixed and remains in place throughout the entire period of the study, that is, that there is no increasing migration as measured by RSA. The cement type that ensures the largest number of solidly fixed prostheses during the two-year evaluation period will be "the best".

NCT ID: NCT00678184 Completed - Healthy Subjects Clinical Trials

The Effect of Atorvastatin on Renal Function in Healthy Subjects During Normal and High Sodium Intake

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

We wanted to test the hypothesis that acute treatment with atorvastatin changes renal sodium handling, renal hemodynamics, tubular function and vasoactive hormones in healthy humans during normal and high sodium intake.

NCT ID: NCT00676715 Completed - Clinical trials for Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting

A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Ocrelizumab in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: July 17, 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a phase II, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, partially blinded, placebo and Avonex (interferon beta-1a) controlled dose finding study to evaluate the efficacy as measured by brain MRI lesions, and safety of 2 dose regimens of ocrelizumab in participants with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).

NCT ID: NCT00676624 Completed - Uveitis Clinical Trials

Infectious Causes of Uveitis

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

Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of one or both eyes. Uveitis will in severe cases lead to permanent loss of vision/blindness on the affected eye. Uveitis can be caused by autoimmune disease, infections and rarely trauma, but 50 % of the cases remain of unknown origin. Intraocular infections are from previous studies, known to be responsible for approximately 40 % of the cases of severe forms of uveitis. Most infectious causes of uveitis have the potential to be treated with antibiotic. Most infectious causes of uveitis are under normal condition only possible to detect by using very specific detection methods. Further more it is often necessary to study a sample from with-in the eye (vitrectomy to get a proper diagnosis. The knowledge about witch kind of infections that causes uveitis, are therefore limited to the kind of infections that are tested for. Our hypothesis are that infections are a frequent cause of severe uveitis in Denmark, and that by using a broad diagnostic approach it is possible to identify new or less recognized infections agents that are associated with uveitis. By this study we want to describe the prevalence and distribution of infections among patients with severe uveitis. In this study are we only including patients with a severe form of uveitis from a referral-hospital setting, where vitrectomy is done for a diagnostic purpose. The patients will undergo a standard diagnostic examination including the most common infectious causes of uveitis. Beside this we will look for a broad range of infection, which has previously been described in the litera-ture to cause uveitis, but are not normally tested for. Further more, we will use broad ranged molecular diagnostic methods to look for new previously unknown bacterial causes of uveitis. Such study has not previously been done previously in Denmark. As control group are included patients that undergo vitrectomy for due either one of the two diseases "epiretinal fibrosis or "macula hole". All patients and controls will be interview using a standardized questionnaire about risk factors for acquiring these infections.

NCT ID: NCT00674154 Completed - Clinical trials for Vitamin D Deficiency

Effect of Vitamin D Treatment in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of the study is to assess whether 6-months of vitamin D supplements can decrease PTH compared with placebo treatment in primary hyperparathyroidism.

NCT ID: NCT00673907 Completed - Clinical trials for Systemic Inflammation

HIPWOODS - Health Effects Related to Exposure to Particle Pollution From Woodburning Stoves

HIPWOODS
Start date: January 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study intends to focus on health effects and symptoms related to particle exposure from wood burning stoves The objective is to determine whether moderate exposure to particles from wood smoke in a real life situation causes an systemic inflammatory response in peripheral blood or in lower airways. 24 healthy subjects (normal healthy subjects and mild asthmatics to study the asthmatic response) is selected for the study. A randomized double blind crossover procedure will be followed with a PM exposure concentration of 200ug/m3, 400ug/m3 or clean air as the control exposure. Exposure will take place in a climate chamber using wood burning in an appropriate wood stove.

NCT ID: NCT00672386 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

A Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of a R256918 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Start date: December 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of 12 weeks of treatment with R256918 in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are taking metformin. The primary measure of effectiveness is the change in concentration of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) during treatment. Glycated hemoglobin is a substance in red blood cells that is formed when blood sugar (glucose) attaches to hemoglobin and is a measure of diabetic status. Additional measures include fasting glucose, and lipid levels, and body weight. Safety assessments performed during the trial include laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and adverse event reporting.
