NCT ID: NCT01950338 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Deep Dry Needling for the Management of Post-stroke Spasticity

Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stroke is the leading cause of physical disability, particularly due to the presence of spasticity. Different needling techniques, including the use of Botulinum Toxin A are proposed for the management of spasticity. The presence of spasticity in the lower extremity implies several impairments for standing and walking inducing high disability. No study has investigated the effects of deep dry needling inserted into the targeted spastic musculature in patients with stroke. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of a single session of deep dry needling over the musculature of the leg on spasticity, widespread pressure pain sensitivity and plantar pressures (baropodometry) in individuals with chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that patients receiving a single session of dry needling would exhibit a greater reduction in spasticity and pressure sensitivity than those who will not receive the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT01950273 Completed - Clinical trials for Lymphoma, Follicular

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BI 695500 vs. Rituximab as First Line-treatment in Patients With Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma

Start date: September 27, 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity of Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) 695500 vs. rituximab (MabThera®) in previously untreated patients with low tumor burden follicular lymphoma (LTBFL). The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and anti-tumor activity of BI 695500 vs. rituximab (MabThera®), as well as the presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs).

NCT ID: NCT01950000 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Treatment of Procedural Pain Associated With Turning in Patients With Mechanical Ventilation

Start date: March 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Background: Few studies have addressed the situation of procedural pain and the use of preemptive analgesia for turning in patients under mechanical ventilation. Aim: Evaluation effect of preemptive fentanyl on the incidence of pain during turning maneuvers in critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation. Design: Single-center clinical trial, national, randomized, double-blind, with a parallel group, and two arms of treatment: saline placebo and fentanyl. Primary Endpoint: Incidence of pain during the turning procedures that are carried out by nurses measured by means of the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS). Study Population: Critically ill patients, age > 18 years, admitted to ICU and expected to require mechanical ventilation for at least 24 h. Sample Size: 80 patients divided into the two groups (40 patients each). Statistical Analysis: A preliminary descriptive analysis will be carried. Later, results of primary end point will be comparing after the eventual corrections of corresponding variables using a multivariable approach. The AUC variable will be analyzed by a t-test for unpaired data. A second analysis using a multivariate approach will be carried out for those factors considered as clinically relevant in relation to pain and therefore a logistic regression will be used. Ethical Considerations: The study will be strictly conducted following the Declaration of Helsinki and the protocol and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure compliance with the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards. It is the responsibility of the researcher to obtain the valid informed consent from the guardian / legal representative, as the patient's condition will not allow to consent. Before obtaining the consent the investigator will explain to each guardian / legal representative the nature of the study, its purpose, the procedures, the estimated duration, the potential risks and benefits associated with the participation, as well as any inconvenience that this may involve. Duration of Treatment: The treatment has a maximum duration of 60 min for each patient. The follow-up includes visits and has duration of 6 consecutive days. Safety Assessment: Potential side effects of treatments will be recorded. Frequent adverse effects of fentanyl administration include respiratory depression, apnea, muscle rigidity, bradycardia and transient hypotension.

NCT ID: NCT01949805 Completed - Polycythemia Vera Clinical Trials

Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2b Versus Hydroxyurea in Polycythemia Vera

PROUD-PV
Start date: September 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Phase III study to compare the efficacy and safety of the novel monopegylated interferon alpha 2b AOP2014 versus Hydroxyurea (the current licensed therapy for this disease). One year treatment of patients with polycythemia vera. Objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of AOP2014 vs. HU in terms of disease response rate in both HU naïve and currently treated patients, diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera. Response is measured as normalisation of key lab parameters as well as normalized spleen size.

NCT ID: NCT01949792 Completed - Clinical trials for Congenital Bleeding Disorder

A Trial Investigating the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of rFVIIa in Patients With Haemophilia A or B With or Without Inhibitors

Start date: September 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of rFVIIa (activated coagulation factor VII) following one single injection of 270 microg/kg compared to three injections of 90 microg/kg rFVIIa in patients with haemophilia.

NCT ID: NCT01949779 Completed - Clinical trials for Intracranial Aneurysms

Start date: December 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The primary objective of this registry is to collect real world data on the safety and performance of the TransFormâ„¢ Occlusion Balloon Catheter when used in current neurointerventional procedures

NCT ID: NCT01949311 Completed - Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trials

Open-label Study of Dupilumab in Patients With Atopic Dermatitis

Start date: October 10, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective is to assess the long-term safety of dupilumab administered in adult participants with atopic dermatitis (AD). The secondary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of dupilumab in adult participants with AD, in the context of re-treatment, and to monitor efficacy parameters associated with long-term treatment. Optional Sub-Study: The primary objective of the sub-study is to assess the safety of the new dupilumab drug product in adult patients with AD after switching from the current dupilumab drug product. The secondary objectives of the sub-study are to evaluate systemic exposure and immunogenicity of the new dupilumab drug product in adult patients with AD.

NCT ID: NCT01947426 Completed - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Effect of Mother DHA Supplementation on Term Newborn.

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

In the present study, we evaluate the effect of the mother suplementación with DHA during the gestation and lactation on diverse aspects of the development of newborn. The effect on the oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling, bone turnover and piscomotor and visual development was studied. Women will in the sixth month of pregnancy, consume a diet balanced during last 3 months of pregnancy and the whole lactation. In addition the women will divide in two groups: one will receive a supplement of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to evaluate the effects on the development of the newborn child; whereas another group will receive a placebo. Different samples of blood of the mother and of mother milk will be taken and we will correlating her lipidic profile with the brain development of the newborn child, evaluated by different tests.
