NCT ID: NCT01951196 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Nocturnal Blood Pressure - Central and Peripheral 24-h Blood Pressure in Chronic Kidney Disease.

NOSA
Start date: October 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

A new study have shown that high nighttime blood pressure (BP) and/or non-dipping (lack of fall in blood pressure during nighttime) is a strong predictor for the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with hypertension. Three factors seem to affect the night time blood pressure: chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or the way ambulatory blood pressure is monitored. The aim of this study is to analyse the importance of these three factors on nighttime bloodpressure. Hypothesis: Central 24 hour blood pressure monitoring provides another measure of daily fluctuations in blood pressure than peripheral 24 hour blood pressure monitoring, because measurement is painless and does not interfere with activities during the daytime or night-time sleep In chronic kidney disease and OSA the decrease in nocturnal BP is lower than in healthy subjects. In chronic kidney disease the decrease in the nocturnal BP is inversely correlated to the severity of OSA, the severity of kidney disease, and blood pressure during daytime.

NCT ID: NCT01939249 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of the Orsiro Sirolimus-eluting Stent

BIOFLOW-IV
Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

BIOFLOW-IV is a prospective, international, multicenter, randomised controlled trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the Biotronik Orsiro drug eluting stent system with the Xience Prime / Xience Xpedition (Xience)drug eluting stent system in de novo coronary lesions. The study is powered for non-inferiority with respect to Target Vessel Failure(TVF)at 12 months.

NCT ID: NCT01928394 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

A Study of Nivolumab by Itself or Nivolumab Combined With Ipilimumab in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

Start date: October 24, 2013
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

To investigate the safety and efficacy of nivolumab as a single agent or in combination with ipilimumab in 6 tumor types - triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), gastric cancer (GC), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bladder cancer (BC), and ovarian cancer (OC). A combination of nivolumab with ipilimumab and cobimetinib is also investigated in PC.

NCT ID: NCT01923077 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Intensive Statin Therapy in Patients With AMI

INTENSIFY
Start date: April 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Objective: Statins have been shown to have beneficial pleiotropic effects besides being lipid lowering. The investigators hypothesized that early and intensive statin treatment was associated with improved left ventricular (LV) function and with a stabilization of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) Method: In a prospective randomized blinded endpoint trial patients with ST segment elevation or non ST segment elevation AMI were randomized to either intensive statin-therapy (loading dose rosuvastatin 80 mg immediately after randomization followed by 40 mg daily) or usual statin therapy (simvastatin 40 mg daily). Patients were followed 12 month and the investigators performed echocardiography at randomization, after 30 days and after 12 month. The investigators used 2D Speckle Tracking for the assessment of LV-function. Coronary plaque assessment was done with Cardiac-CT (MSCT) at baseline and after 12 month. Primary outcome for this study was assessment of LV function with global and regional myocardial strain. Secondary outcomes can be divided in 4 groups: 1. Additional echocardiographic measurements such as Ejection Fraction, S´, LV-volume, atrial volume, VA-coupling, diastolic function, post systolic strain and strain rate. 2. Biochemical assessment of inflammation and endothelial function: Hs-CRP, ICAM, VCAM, E-selection and Nitrate/Nitrite ratio. 3. Coronary plaque assessment by MSCT: Plaque volume and plaque stability. 4. Long term follow-up: Mortality and cardiovascular events

NCT ID: NCT01922804 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Metabolic Bone Disorder

Investigations of the Effect of MK-7 on Bone and Glucose Metabolism and Arterial Calcification

K2vita
Start date: July 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aims of the present study are to investigate the effect of vitamin K2 on bone turnover, bone mass, bone structure, glucose metabolism, and arteriosclerosis. Osteoporosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease are common diseases that affect large groups of people in the Western world. Our hypotheses is that vitamin K2 (MK-7) reduces undercarboxylated osteocalcin in postmenopausal women and reduces bone turnover and increases bone mineral density; increases insulin sensitivity and decreases indices of arterial calcification.

NCT ID: NCT01922440 Active, not recruiting - Hypoparathyroidism Clinical Trials

A Registry for Participants With Chronic Hypoparathyroidism

PARADIGHM
Start date: July 30, 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The main aim of this study is to find out the long-term safety and effectiveness profile of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH[1-84]) treatment in participants with chronic hypoparathyroidism under conditions of routine clinical practice. Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice determined by the treating doctors. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit.

NCT ID: NCT01918527 Active, not recruiting - Colon Cancer Clinical Trials

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Standard Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced Colon Cancer

Start date: September 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare 3 cycles of neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy + operation with the standard treatment of locally advanced colon cancer, which is operation + 8 cycles of (adjuvant) chemotherapy. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy may not need adjuvant chemotherapy after the operation and, if this is the case, they will be spared of 5 cycles of chemotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT01897480 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

A Study of LY2875358 in Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Activating Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations

Balise
Start date: August 28, 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the study drug LY2875358, given together with erlotinib, against erlotinib, alone. Participants will have Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that has advanced to Stage IV. Participants should not have been treated with drugs for Stage IV NSCLC, previously. All participants will get erlotinib alone, for approximately 8 weeks. Participants with radiographic disease control at the end of the erlotinib lead-in study period will be randomly assigned to receive LY2875358 plus erlotinib or erlotinib alone. Participants, who were chosen to receive erlotinib, alone, may cross over to the combination treatment at the time of progression.
