NCT ID: NCT00659763 Completed - Clinical trials for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Diagnostic Strategies in Patients Suspected of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Start date: February 2008
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a clinical diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome based on patient reported symptoms and a few blood tests is safe, and to determine whether a clinical diagnosis is as good for the patient and as economical for the society as a diagnosis based on exclusion of a number of organic diseases by performing a number of blood tests, fecal analyzes and a scopic examination of bowel. The purpose of the second part of the study is to determine which intestinal parasites the patients have in their bowel and whether these parasites are the cause of the disease.

NCT ID: NCT00659295 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Observational Study to Evaluate the Safety of Levemir® in Diabetes

PREDICTIVEâ„¢
Start date: June 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan and South America. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of serious adverse reactions (SARs) while using Levemir® (insulin detemir) under normal clinical practice conditions. Study conducted globally in 26 countries. Some countries participated in the study for only 3 months (Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Lebanon, Slovenia, Russia, and Turkey), while others extended their participation to 6 (Belgium/Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, and United Kingdom/Ireland) and 12 months (Finland, France, and Japan), respectively.

NCT ID: NCT00658515 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Heart Disease

A Study of RO4607381 in Stable Coronary Heart Disease Patients With Recent Acute Coronary Syndrome

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

This study will evaluate the potential of RO4607381 to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in stable coronary heart disease patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and evaluate the long term safety profile of the drug. Eligible patients in stable condition will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po or placebo po, daily, together with a background of standard medication for ACS (including aspirin, antihypertensives and statins). The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 15,600 individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00657943 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

The Copenhagen Insulin and Metformin Therapy Trial

CIMT
Start date: April 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients (T2DM) have an increased mortality rate due to macrovascular disease. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of an 18-month treatment with metformin versus placebo in combination with one of three insulin analogue regimens following a treat-to-target principle. The primary outcome measure is change in wall thickness of the carotic arteries(CIMT)measured by ultrasound. A total of 900 patients with T2DM and HbA1c above 7.5% will be included.

NCT ID: NCT00657150 Completed - Clinical trials for Venous Thromboembolism

Dabigatran Etexilate Compared With Enoxaparin in Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Following Total Hip Arthroplasty

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

The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate non-inferiority of 220 mg oral dabigatran etexilate compared to 40 mg subcutaneous enoxaparin administered once daily. Safety and efficacy will be compared between the treatment groups.

NCT ID: NCT00655941 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Influence of Weight Loss or Exercise on Cartilage in Obese Knee Osteoarthritis Patients

CAROT
Start date: April 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) co-exist in an increasing part of the population. The two diseases intertwine in several ways. The evolution in the population shows a tendency towards deterioration of both by increasing general age and weight. The two diseases share pathogenetic features and the development of one disease increases the risk of the other and may be the onset of a vicious circle. There is a link between treatments of these two diseases as well. There is now solid (gold) evidence that by treating effectively the obesity of patients with co-occurring OA, the functional status is dramatically ameliorated; the short-term results are equal to that of a joint replacement. The long-term efficacy of a weight loss remains to be shown. OA is definitely one of many diseases in which obesity must be taken seriously into account when planning a correct treatment of patients. This trial has two phases, the first (16 weeks) consisting of a dietary intervention with low-energy diet and the second (52 weeks) a randomized, three group (each n>50 patients) controlled study of maintenance of weight loss by either continuing dietary instruction, exercise, or a control group. The hypothesis is that maintenance of an initially induced weight loss is dependent on attention rather than any specific therapy.

NCT ID: NCT00655902 Completed - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Copenhagen Obesity Risk Assessment Study

COBRA
Start date: April 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of a high intake of industrially produced trans fatty acids for 16 weeks on abdominal obesity and risk markers of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in healthy, moderately overweight, postmenopausal women.

NCT ID: NCT00655304 Completed - Clinical trials for Hepatic Encephalopathy

The Effect of Prometheus (R) Liver Support Dialysis on Cerebral Metabolism in Acute Liver Failure

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

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Prometheus liver support dialysis on intracranial pressure, cerebral metabolism and circulation in patients with acute liver failure.

NCT ID: NCT00653510 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The Metabolic Effects of Acute Hyperglycemia in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

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

The purpose of the study is to characterize the changes in amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes exposed to acute hyperglycemia. Moreover we wish to assess the effect of acute hyperglycemia on cardiac output.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Celecoxib Suspension Compared to Naproxen Suspension in Patients With JRA

Start date: October 2002
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

To study Celebrex versus naproxen to see if it decreases symptoms of juvenile arthritis such as pain and swelling.
