NCT ID: NCT03740087 Completed - Vegan Diet Clinical Trials

Search for Bovine miRNA Transference to Humans

Start date: April 13, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Foods derived from plants and animals contain miRNAs, and, some reports have detected diet-derived miRNAs circulating in mammalian serum. It is still unclear if the miRNAs present in food can be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and brought to the tissues to perform regulatory functions. The transfer of functional exogenous miRNA has been demonstrated in bacterial and viral infections but it is less well characterized in mammals. Edible bovine tissues contain unique profiles of human-homologous miRNAs that withstand cooking. If miRNAs from other species can cross the gastrointestinal barrier, it could have implications in gene regulation and health. Objective: Determine whether miRNAs from beef cross the gastrointestinal barrier and are transferred to human plasma. Methods: The investigators obtained fasting plasma from 29 healthy subjects divided in two groups: the omnivore group (6 men, 8 women) and the vegan group (8 men, 7 women; control group). Each participant was given a standard meal with or without beef depending on their group, then the plasma was collected at 2, 4 and 6 hours after the meal. The changes in the levels of of miR-1, miR-10b, miR-22, miR-92 and miR-192 were analysed by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR).

The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3209590 is safe and effective in participants with type 2 diabetes that have already been treated with basal insulin.

NCT ID: NCT03735121 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Study to Investigate Atezolizumab Subcutaneous in Patients With Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Start date: December 14, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of atezolizumab subcutaneous (SC) compared with atezolizumab intravenous (IV) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have not been exposed to cancer immunotherapy (CIT) and for whom prior platinum-based therapy has failed. The study is comprised of two parts, as follows: A dose-finding part (Part 1, Phase Ib) will aim to identify the dose of atezolizumab SC to be tested in Part 2. A dose-confirmation part (Part 2, Phase III, randomized) will aim to confirm that the dose moved forward from Part 1 yields drug exposure that is comparable to that of atezolizumab IV.

NCT ID: NCT03734640 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Reperfusion Therapy

Optimal Post Tpa-Iv Monitoring in Ischemic Stroke

Start date: April 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

OPTIMISTmain is an investigator-initiated and conducted, international, multicentre, stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of different intensities of nursing care monitoring for patients with acute ischemic stroke of mild severity and without critical care needs after IV-tPA.

NCT ID: NCT03733444 Terminated - Clinical trials for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

A Clinical Study to Test How Effective and Safe GLPG1690 is for Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) When Used Together With Standard of Care

ISABELA2
Start date: November 5, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The main purpose of this study was to see how GLPG1690 works together with the current standard treatment on your lung function and IPF disease in general. The study also investigated how well GLPG1690 is tolerated (for example if you get any side effects while on study drug).

NCT ID: NCT03732807 Completed - Alopecia Areata Clinical Trials

PF-06651600 for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata

ALLEGRO-2b/3
Start date: December 3, 2018
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a global Phase 2b/3 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational study drug (called PF-06651600) in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) who have 50% or greater scalp hair loss. The study is placebo-controlled, meaning that some patients entering the study will not receive active study drug but will receive tablets with no active ingredients (a placebo). This is a dose-ranging study, investigating 5 different dosing regimens. It will be double-blinded, meaning that the sponsor, the study doctors, the staff, and the patients will not know whether a patient is on active study drug (or the dose) or placebo.

NCT ID: NCT03732586 Completed - Alcoholic Hepatitis Clinical Trials

Effect of Omega 5 Fatty Acid as an Adyuvant Treatment to Prednisone in Patients With Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis

Start date: September 30, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In Mexico, alcoholic liver disease is the fourth cause of mortality (INEGI). Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis have a high mortality at 28 days and 6 months, patients receiving standard therapy with prednisone that are non responders (Lille> 0.45) have a survival of 53.3 ± 5.1 % to 28 days. At present, there is not a completely effective treatment for non responders patients, with a high mortality, so it is necessary to look for other therapeutic strategies. The omega-5 fatty acid (punicic acid) has been considered a powerful antioxidant, it is an agonist of PPAR gamma, has been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation, and restore levels of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase. It has also been shown to inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL6, IL8, IL23, IL12 and TNFalpha) through PPAR and modulation delta. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Omega 5 fatty acid on inflammatory markers and antioxidant-oxidant balance markers in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis treated with prednisone. HYPOTHESIS. Omega 5 fatty acid being a PPARgamma agonist reduces lipid peroxidation and protein damage, restoring reduced glutathione levels, as well as decreasing proinflammatory cytokines, in patients with Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis treated with prednisone and supplementation with fatty acid Omega 5.

SURPASS-4
Start date: November 20, 2018
