NCT ID: NCT00638573 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The Incretin Effect in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

Start date: January 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The phenomenon that oral glucose elicits a higher insulin response than does intravenous (iv) glucose, even at identical plasma glucose (PG) profiles (isoglycemia), is called the incretin effect. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the incretin effect has been shown to be markedly reduced or even abolished. It is not known whether the reduced incretin effect in T2DM is a primary event leading to T2DM or if it is merely a consequence of the diabetic state. To answer this question the investigators plan to estimate the incretin effect in 8 patients with secondary diabetes mellitus (DM) to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and compare it to the incretin effect of 8 patients with CP and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Eight patients with T2DM and 8 healthy control subjects are studied for comparison. The incretin effect is measured by a 50-g oral glucose tolerance test and an isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion.

NCT ID: NCT00636168 Completed - Clinical trials for High Risk Stage III Melanoma

Efficacy Study of Ipilimumab Versus Placebo to Prevent Recurrence After Complete Resection of High Risk Stage III Melanoma

Start date: June 30, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine if ipilimumab is effective in preventing or delaying recurrence and prolongs survival after complete resection of high risk stage III melanoma

NCT ID: NCT00636064 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

A Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Valdecoxib Plus Parecoxib Versus Valdecoxib Plus Placebo for the Treatment of Pain After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Start date: January 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of parecoxib/valdecoxib therapy and placebo/valdecoxib therapy for the treatment of pain after coronary artery bypass surgery

NCT ID: NCT00635492 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

CHOICE: CHanges to Treatment and Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Initiating InjeCtablE Therapy

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

Patients initiating injectable therapy for type 2 diabetes (insulin or exenatide) in usual clinical practice will be enrolled and followed up for two years in order to describe actual practice with regards to the time on initial treatment regime, whether treatment regimens are being modified, what treatment modifications are made, and clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT00634920 Completed - Renal Function Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Early Conversion to Everolimus From Cyclosporine in de Novo Renal Transplant Recipients

Start date: March 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to evaluate if early conversion to everolimus from cyclosporine in de novo renal transplant recipients can improve long-term renal function and slow down the progression of chronic allograft nephropathy

NCT ID: NCT00633893 Completed - Venous Thrombosis Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety Study of Apixaban for Extended Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis or Pulmonary Embolism

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

The purpose is to evaluate the effects of an investigational blood thinner, apixaban, in preventing venous thromboembolic (VTE) recurrence or death in patients who have completed their intended treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)

NCT ID: NCT00633139 Completed - Clinical trials for Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy

Long-term Metazym Treatment of Patients With Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)

Start date: January 22, 2007
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a single center, open-label study of patients with late infantile MLD. All patients were previous treated 26 weeks in the phase I trial (EudraCT number: 2006-005341-11, NCT00418561). All patients will be offered continuing treatment in this study and will in this protocol receive 13 infusions, whereby the patients total have had 27 infusions of Metazym. One infusion will be given every other week. After a total of 52 weeks of treatment the subjects will continue treatment in a compassionate use protocol. Safety (AE/SAE) will be monitored at every visit.

NCT ID: NCT00631046 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Essential Fatty Acids During Complementary Feeding

EFiON
Start date: February 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this intervention study is to examine the effect of n-3 LCPUFA on growth and body composition, intestinal health and microbiotic composition, immune function and risk markers for later diseases in 9-18 months old infants and toddlers.

NCT ID: NCT00629239 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Tolerability/Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled AZD4818 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

TOP
Start date: January 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with AZD4818 for four weeks is tolerable, safe and effective in treating COPD and, if so, how it compares with placebo.

NCT ID: NCT00628745 Completed - Clinical trials for Transthyretin Amyloidosis

Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcome Survey (THAOS)

THAOS
Start date: January 4, 2008
Phase:
Study type: Observational

THAOS is a global, multi-center, longitudinal observational survey open to all patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), including ATTR-PN (polyneuropathy), ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) and wild-type ATTR-CM. It is open-ended with a minimum duration of 10 years. Patients will be followed as long as they are able to participate. The principal aims of this outcome survey are to better understand and characterize the natural history of the disease by studying a large and heterogenous patient population. Survey data may be used to develop new treatment guidelines and recommendations, and to inform and educate clinicians about the management of this disease.
