NCT ID: NCT03068780 Completed - Clinical trials for Epidermolysis Bullosa

Phase III Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Epidermolysis Bullosa

EASE
Start date: March 29, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This was a Phase III, Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Participants with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a rare group of genetic skin fragility disorders characterised by blistering of the skin in response to minor injury. In most cases, onset of EB is at birth or shortly after. All participants affected by any type of EB share the main characteristic of repeatedly developing painful wounds that take days to months to heal. Current treatment of EB is primarily preventative and supportive including protection from mechanical forces by avoiding rubbing, early treatment of wounds to prevent infections, and protection of the wound with adequate non-adhesive dressings to enable healing. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in Oleogel-S10 is a refined birch bark extract, quantified to 72 to 88% betulin. This clinical study of Oleogel-S10 in patients with inherited EB has been carried out to investigate whether Oleogel-S10 is effective for treatment of EB wounds and safe for long-term use. Oleogel-S10 was compared to a control gel. The control gel matched Oleogel-S10 in terms of texture and visual appearance to allow for double-blinding. The packaging for Oleogel-S10 gel and the control gel were identical. The participant received either Oleogel-S10 or control gel for a double-blind study phase of 90 days. The probability that the participant received Oleogel-S10 was 50%, which means that they had a 1 in 2 chance of receiving Oleogel-S10. However, in the follow-up phase of the study all participants were treated with Oleogel-S10 for a period of 24 months. This clinical study was performed at 49 study sites in 26 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong [China], Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States); 223 participants participated in total.

NCT ID: NCT03068221 Completed - Overweight Clinical Trials

Clinical Sciences Research Proposal- The Effect of Physical Exercise on PCOS Overweight Female Adolescents

Start date: March 15, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is one of the most common reasons for subfertility, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. With the occurrence of 6-20% of the general adult women population. One of the main criteria of this syndrome is a hyper androgenic state. More than 50% of women who have PCOS are overweight. In the teenage population, PCOS is common in 5-10% of teenage girls. A recent research has shown that elite athlete teenage girls have higher serum androgen levels, especially in anaerobic types of sport. The purpose of this experiment is to examine the reaction of teenage PCOS overweight girls towards anaerobic exercise. To determine if their hyperandrogenic state is more adapted to excel in anaerobic exercise compared to teenage overweight girls without PCOS.

RANGER
Start date: April 18, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This extended access study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of bardoxolone methyl in qualified patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) who previously participated in controlled clinical studies with bardoxolone methyl.

NCT ID: NCT03067714 Completed - Immunity Clinical Trials

A Clinical Study to Investigate the Effect of a Partially Hydrolysed Infant Formula With Added Synbiotics on Gut Microbiota Composition and Clinical Effectiveness in Infants at High Risk of Developing Allergy

TEMPO
Start date: March 30, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

With the rising prevalence of allergic diseases and the subsequent risk of developing other immune-related disorders, primary prevention of allergy has become a major priority. It is generally acknowledged that breastfeeding is one of the main pillars in allergy prevention. Infant formulas based on hydrolysed proteins have been developed to be used by infants at increased risk of developing allergy in case a mother is unable or chooses not to breastfeed her infant. It has recently been demonstrated that the gut microbiota composition and microbiota activity of infants receiving an infant formula based on partially hydrolysed proteins, supplemented with oligosaccharides, is more similar to breastfed infants than to infants receiving standard cow's milk formula, demonstrated by increased levels of bifidobacteria. However the interaction between microbial changes impacted by an hypoallergenic concept and its influence on early life immune development should be further explored. The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate the bifidogenic effect of a hypoallergenic formula supplemented with prebiotics and probiotics compared to standard infant formula in infants at increased risk of developing allergic disease. This study will secondary assess the effects of this concept on the development of allergic manifestations up to the age of 12 months, which will be verified in a separate clinical study MAESTRO as primary outcome. Furthermore, the effects on growth and safety will be studied.

NCT ID: NCT03066804 Completed - Clinical trials for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

PARALLAX
Start date: August 22, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of LCZ696 over individualized medical therapy for comorbidities in reducing N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and improving exercise capacity and HF symptoms in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

NCT ID: NCT03066778 Completed - Clinical trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

A Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Combination With Etoposide/Platinum (Cisplatin or Carboplatin) for Participants With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-3475-604/KEYNOTE-604)

Start date: May 2, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy (etoposide/platinum [EP]) in participants with newly diagnosed extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have not previously received systemic therapy for this malignancy. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab+EP prolongs Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) and Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo+EP in adult participants with ES-SCLC. In this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. With protocol Amendment 07 (03-Oct-2018), the outcome measure of "Change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life Scale" was replaced with a single time point analysis at Week 18.

NCT ID: NCT03065998 Recruiting - Drug Abuse Clinical Trials

Double Blind Placebo Control Opipramol-Baclofen Treatment for Addiction

Start date: March 2017
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is examining the combination of two FDA approved drugs, Opipramol and baclofen, which may increase rehabilitation from psychoactive substances. Previous studies have indicated a connection of sigma-1 receptor to cocaine abuse and raised the possibility that these receptors as mediators of drug craving . However previous studies showed partial efficacy with no significant relapse in relapse rates. The same is true for the use of GABAb-1 receptor antagonist. Opipramol is a selective agonist for sigma-1 receptor. It is clinically used as an antidepressant and anxiolytic agent. Moreover, previous open and controlled trials indicated that the GABAb-1 antagonist baclofen partial efficacy in suppressing withdrawal symptoms in alcohol addicts and cocaine. Our studies in an animal model for addiction have shown a significant effect of the combine treatment of the indicated medications both in decreasing relapse and increase of -number of respondents.
