This study will evaluate whether anemia prevention with NeoRecormon has an additional impact on reducing cardiovascular risk over conventional anemia treatment in patients mostly with stage IV chronic kidney disease and renal anemia. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This trial is conducted in Europe, Oceania, Africa, Asia and South America. This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with liraglutide when adding to existing metformin therapy and to compare it with the effects of metformin monotherapy and combination therapy of metformin and glimepiride. Two trial periods: A 6 month (26 weeks) randomised, double-blinded period followed by an 18 months open-label extension, in total 2 years (104 weeks).
This 6 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of P38 Inhibitor (4) in patients with RA currently having an inadequate clinical response to methotrexate. Patients will be randomized to receive P38 Inhibitor (4) (50,150 or 300 qd po,and 25 or 75 bid po) or placebo, and will remain on the stable dose of methotrexate. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Primary objective : - To compare disease-free survival after treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel in operable adjuvant breast cancer HER2neu negative patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives : - To compare toxicity and quality of life between the 2 above-mentioned arms. - To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy.
The trial is conducted in Europe and Middle East. The aim of the trial is to compare the use of Insulin Detemir once or twice daily combined with mealtime Insulin Aspart against that of NPH Insulin once or twice daily combined with mealtime Insulin Aspart. The trial involves children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to see if rosuvastatin compared to Atorvastatin is effective in treating ACS by decreasing the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio and if starting statin within 24 h following the onset of the first symptoms is beneficial compared to placebo.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with germ cell tumors in the brain.
A macular hole is a fairly common problem in the retina and is an important cause of loss of central vision. The aim of this study is to determine whether, in patients with a stage 2 or 3 full thickness macular hole (FTMH), peeling a very fine, transparent tissue that covers the surface of the retina, called the internal limiting membrane (ILM) during surgery is superior to non-ILM peeling macular hole surgery. The main outcomes are improvement in vision, achievement of macular hole closure, need for re-operation, health related quality of life (HRQOL) and cost effectiveness.
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to test if Insulin Detemir as add-on to current Oral Antidiabetic Drug treatment is at least as effective as Insulin Glargine as add-on to current Oral Antidiabetic Drug treatment in reducing HbA1c in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether Lyrica is a safe and effective treatment for partial epilepsy in comparison with an established treatment, Lamictal.
