NCT ID: NCT00552747 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Heart Disease

Effect of Fenofibrate on Endothelial Function and High-density Lipoproteins (HDL)in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Fenofibrate is a drug that acts on the PPAR alpha receptors, increasing HDL-cholesterol and decreasing triglyceride levels. The interaction with these receptors has antiatherogenic actions by regulating the expression con key proteins that participate in vascular inflammation, plaque stability and thrombosis. Fenofibrate reduces triglycerides and increases HDL-C in plasma. It also decreases small, dense LDL particles. The use of this drug has resulted in improvement of vascular function measured by endothelial function. Our hypotheses state that fenofibrate will improve: endothelial function, improve HDL antioxidant capacity and size distribution towards a predominance of small HDL particles.

NCT ID: NCT00551707 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Multicenter Study to Evaluate CRx-102 vs. Each of Its Components to Treat Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

MARS-1
Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

CRx-102 is a synergistic combination drug candidate containing the cardiovascular drug dipyridamole and a very low dose of the glucocorticoid prednisolone. CRx-102 is believed to work through a novel mechanism of action in which dipyridamole selectively amplifies the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of the glucocorticoid without replicating the dose-dependent adverse effects. CRx-102 has been associated with clinical benefit in proof of concept studies in subjects with hand Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). In this trial, CRx-102 will be given to subjects with active RA as an add-on therapy to existing stable doses of Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) including methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide or azathioprine. MTX in combination with other DMARDs (e.g., sulfasalazine or hydroxychloroquine) will be permitted to reflect the current standard of care practices within rheumatology.

NCT ID: NCT00551408 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Idiopathic Arterial Hypertension

Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Pulmonary Idiopathic Arterial Hypertension

Start date: August 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Endothelial dysfunction ultimately represents an imbalance between the magnitude of injury and the capacity for repair. Current evidence established that endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) participate in several models of vascular disease as acute coronary syndromes, stroke, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, etc. However EPC in the setting of PAH is less well established. The target of this study is to demonstrate if the number of EPC is increased in a mexican population of patients with PAH.

NCT ID: NCT00551356 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Lispro Mix 25 vs. Glargine in Type 2 Diabetics

IOOL
Start date: November 2002
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In patients with type 2 diabetes who have not been on insulin therapy before the study will achieve better glycemic control by the treatment regiment consisting of two times daily insulin lispro mix 25 than by the treatment regiment with consisting of one time daily injection of insulin glargine. Improved glycemic control will be compared by the fasting plasma glucose and blood glucose excursions 2 hours after breakfast.

NCT ID: NCT00551174 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis

A Study of Bonviva (Ibandronate) in Women With Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis Who Have Received Previous Bonviva Treatment

Start date: October 2004
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This 2-arm study was designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) treatment with 2 mg or 3 mg Bonviva in women with post-menopausal osteoporosis who had previously completed Bonviva study BM16550 (DIVA study; NCT00048074). Patients received Bonviva either 2 mg IV every 2 months, or 3 mg IV every 3 months. Patients also received daily supplementation with vitamin D and calcium. The anticipated time on study treatment was 2+ years, and the target sample size was 500+ individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00550446 Completed - Clinical trials for Arthritis, Rheumatoid

A Phase 2 Study For Patients With A Physician's Diagnosis Of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Start date: September 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety, over 6 months, of 5 doses of CP-690,550 for the treatment of adults with active rheumatoid arthritis. Five out of seven subjects will receive CP-690,550. One out of seven will receive adalimumab (Humira®) and one out of seven will only receive inactive substances (placebo.)

NCT ID: NCT00550420 Terminated - Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials

Study Of Rosiglitazone XR In Subjects With Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimers

Start date: October 1, 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label extension, single-group study in male and female outpatients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) who have completed AVA105640. All subjects will receive rosiglitazone extended-release (RSG XR) 4mg once daily for the first 4 weeks of the study followed by 8mg RSG XR. Subject participation will last until one of 5 conditions applies. After a 52-week open-label treatment phase, subjects will attend a final Follow-Up Visit 6 weeks after the end of treatment. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of RSG XR in subjects with mild-to-moderate AD who have completed AVA105640. The secondary objective of this study is to explore further the long-term efficacy of RSG XR in terms of cognitive function and overall clinical response as a function of apolipoprotein E (APOE) e4 allele status

Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenously administered doses of PD 0360324 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving methotrexate.
