NCT ID: NCT01712490 Active, not recruiting - Hodgkin Lymphoma Clinical Trials

A Frontline Therapy Trial in Participants With Advanced Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Start date: November 9, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This open-label, randomized, 2-arm, multicenter, phase 3 study has the primary objective of comparing the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) obtained with brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®) plus AVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin], vinblastine, and dacarbazine; abbreviated A+AVD) versus that obtained with ABVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin],bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) for the frontline treatment of advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma(HL)

NCT ID: NCT01705535 Active, not recruiting - Fecal Incontinence Clinical Trials

The Effect of Physiotherapy for the Treatment of Fecal Incontinence.

Start date: October 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fecal incontinence is the complaint of involuntary loss of feces. Fecal incontinence affects 2-12% of the adult population. It is a hidden problem - less than one third of the affected persons discuss the problem with their doctor. The condition has a negative effect on quality of life. It is associated with shame and limitation in social life, leisure, occupational and sexual activities. Pelvic floor muscle exercises with or without the use of biofeedback has been recommended and used for the treatment of fecal incontinence over the last decades. Several uncontrolled trials and some controlled trials have shown a positive effect of this training, but most of the trials are small and/or have methodological problems. Therefore there is to day still a lack of sufficient evidence for the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercise as a treatment of fecal incontinence. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of an individual physiotherapeutic supervised pelvic floor muscle training program with a control physiotherapeutic treatment (massage of the neck and back). Both treatments will be given parallel with standard information and guidance given by a nurse specialized in anal incontinence issues. Study hypothesis: Pelvic floor muscle exercises given parallel with standard advice and guidance by a specialized nurse, provides better effect to reducing fecal incontinence than control treatment and standard advice alone.

NCT ID: NCT01693237 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Bulimia Nervosa (BN)

Improving Patient Outcome in Group Therapy for Eating Disorders

F-EAT
Start date: August 2012
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The current trial aims to investigate the impact of continuous feedback on dropout and outcome in group therapy. The hypothesis is that continuous feedback to patient and therapist on treatment progress and alliance will 1) increase adherence and 2) increase treatment outcome.

NCT ID: NCT01678274 Active, not recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Prospective Characterization of the Heart, Aorta and Blood Pressure in Turner Syndrome. Association With Aortic Dissection.

TSCORII
Start date: December 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Turner syndrome is a congenital complete or partial lack one of the female sex chromosomes affecting 1 of 2000 live born girls. The syndrome is characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, aortic dilation and dissection, hypertension, stroke and autoimmune diseases in general. Our study aim is: - Using MRI to further characterize and find risk factors leading to aortic dilation. - Using MRI to assess the degree of aortic distensibility. - Using Computed tomography x-ray scanning of the heart and coronary arteries to characterize the prevalence and degree of ischemic heart disease and coronary anomalies. - Using pressure sensitive ultrasound (applanation tonometry) to assess the degree of aortic stiffness when compared to controls using end points as Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Central Pulse Pressure.

NCT ID: NCT01676077 Active, not recruiting - Dysferlinopathy Clinical Trials

Clinical Outcome Study for Dysferlinopathy

Jain COS
Start date: September 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The "Clinical Outcome Study for Dysferlinopathy" is being performed in centres in Europe (UK- Newcastle; Spain- Barcelona, Sevilla; San Sebastian;Denmark, Copenhagen, Italy- Padova; France- Paris,), USA (Charlotte, NC; Columbus, OH; St.Louis, MO, Stanford CA, Irvine CA and Columbia NY), Chile (Santiago) Japan (Tokyo) and South Korea (Pusan). Oversight is provided by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals Trust. Funding for this study is being provided by the Jain Foundation, a non-profit foundation dedicated to finding therapies for dysferlinopathies(LGMD2b/Miyoshi). The aim of this "Clinical Outcome Study" is to determine the clinical outcome measures required for future clinical trials, characterize the disease progression of dysferlinopathy and collect biological samples for the identification of disease markers that are needed to non-invasively monitor the disease during clinical trials. Without this information, effective clinical trials cannot be performed. This study is recruiting a large number of genetically confirmed dysferlinopathy patients aged 10 years or older, who are ambulant or non-ambulant. The study has reopened for a further two years (COS2). Participants will be assessed at 4 further visits over 2 years via medical, physiotherapy, and MRI/MRS assessments, as well as standard blood tests. Optionally, the participants can donate blood samples and a skin sample for use in the identification of disease markers and other approved research. There is a sub-study running in MRI at selected sites.

NCT ID: NCT01665365 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

Long-term Clinical Outcome in Patients Undergoing Remote Ischemic Conditioning Before Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction: a Follow-up Study

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

The aim of this prospective follow-up study is to investigate 5-year clinical outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing remote ischemic conditioning before primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

NCT ID: NCT01643330 Active, not recruiting - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

A Study of Genetically Targeted Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Advanced Heart Failure

CUPID-2b
Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this trial is to assess whether MYDICAR can reduce the frequency and/or delay heart failure related hospitalizations in persons with advanced heart failure when added to their maximal and optimized therapy.

NCT ID: NCT01641354 Active, not recruiting - Genu Valgus Clinical Trials

Comparison of Two Surgical Techniques to Treat Knock Knees in Children

Start date: May 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Knock knees or genu valgus necessitates in some children corrective surgery with partial closure of the growth plate at level of the knee.

NCT ID: NCT01637051 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Arthrosis of the Knee

The Importance of Different Modularity of the Polyethylene Insert for Tibial Component Migration and Adaptive Bone Remodeling After Uncemented Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT) Zimmer NexGen®, (Monoblock vs. Modular Design)

Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In a prospective randomised study two uncemented tibial components with different polyethylene modularities (Trabecular Metal Technology (TMT) Zimmer NexGen® monobloc and TMT Zimmer NexGen® modular) used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is evaluated. Both tibial component coatings are designed to provide excellent condition for bone ingrowth. The differences between the two tibial components are evaluated by measurements of migration of the tibial component assessed by Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and measurements of the adaptive bone remodeling of the proximal tibial assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

NCT ID: NCT01618812 Active, not recruiting - Flatfeet Clinical Trials

Calcaneal Neck Lengthening Osteotomy in Children With Artificial Bone Graft

Start date: September 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

In a group of children with severe and painful flatfeet lengthening procedures of calcaneus can be indicated. In this study the investigators use an artificial bone graft technique to avoid removing bone graft from the iliac crest.
