The aim is to compare the blood pressure lowering effect of the combination of candesartan cilexetil (candesartan) 32 mg and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) 25 mg to that of candesartan 32 mg alone, HCT 25 mg alone and placebo in hypertensive adults.
More than one million people in Europe suffer from a stroke every day. Normally older people have a stroke, but also a significant number of younger people between 18 and 55 years. Usually, these cannot be explained by the classical risk factors such as diabetes, overweight and high blood pressure. New studies indicate that in about 1 - 2 % of the younger stroke patients the cause could have been an undiagnosed genetic disease, the so called Fabry disease. The purpose of this study is to determine in a large number of young stroke patients, how many strokes were caused by Fabry Disease.
This is an observational study with a drug called Nebido, a new testosterone replacement therapy, which is available for the treatment of male hypogonadism. The benefit and safety of Nebido have already been thoroughly evaluated through well controlled clinical trials. The main purpose of this observational study is to confirm the established safety profile of Nebido in daily clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to see if Cediranib in combination with FOLFOX is effective in treating metastatic colorectal cancer and to see how it compares with Avastin (Bevacizumab) in combination with FOLFOX.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of golimumab intravenous (IV) infusions every 12 weeks with or without Methotrexate (MTX), compared with MTX alone, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite concurrent MTX treatment. In addition, the safety of subcutaneous (SC) golimumab injections following transition from IV golimumab infusions will also be evaluated.
This study will provide pre-approval drug access to lapatinib, in combination with capecitabine, to patients whose breast cancer had progressed on other therapies

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study of a seven-week ascending dose period of SLV308 adjunctive to L-dopa treatment in patients with advanced stage Parkinson's disease (PD) and dose-dependent motor fluctuations. Patients (outpatients) will be randomized to one of three different treatment arms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new dose of 500 mg Fulvestrant with the standard dose of 250 mg in postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive advanced breast cancer who have failed on a previous endocrine treatment.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development of cancer. Anastrozole may be effective in preventing breast cancer.
