NCT ID: NCT03528551 Completed - Clinical trials for Congenital Bleeding Disorder

A Research Study Looking at How a Factor VIII Medicine Called Turoctocog Alfa Pegol (N8-GP) Works in People With Haemophilia A

pathfinder8
Start date: April 30, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will look at how a known study medicine N8-GP works in previously N8-GP treated people with haemophilia A. The aim is to look at how N8-GP works during regular use. Participants will get N8-GP. N8-GP has been tested in more than 200 people with haemophilia A for several years. Participants will get an injection of N8-GP into a blood vessel, one, two or three times weekly. Participants will get more doses if they bleed or if they will need a surgery. The study will last for about 2 years. Participants will have at least 9 visits with the study doctor. If participants agree to be in this study, they will get their first injection (in this study) at the first visit. Participants will also get an injection at visit 3, 5 and 7. Participants will be trained to give all other injections themselves. Participants must not use any clotting factors other than N8-GP or any anticoagulants (blood thinners) during the study.

NCT ID: NCT03527797 Completed - Critical Illness Clinical Trials

Diaphragm Protective Ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit

DiaPro
Start date: May 16, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Due to an accident, pneumonia or surgery, patients can have severe shortness of breath or lung damage to such an extent that it compromises vital functions. At such times, mechanical ventilation can be lifesaving. The ventilator temporarily takes over the function of the respiratory muscles to ensure adequate uptake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. Mechanical ventilation can usually be stopped quickly after the initial disease has been treated. Unfortunately, in up to 25-40% of ventilated patients it takes several days to weeks before mechanical ventilation can be discontinued, even after treatment of the initial disease. This phenomenon is termed weaning failure. Weakness of the respiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm, is one of the leading causes of weaning failure. Like other skeletal muscles, the diaphragm can become weakened if it is used too little. This happens often during mechanical ventilation because of excessive assistance provided by the ventilator or use of sedative medication. Excessive activity of the diaphragm can also lead to damage and weakness, just like in other muscles that have to perform excessive amounts for a prolonged period of time. Additionally, excessive work by the diaphragm might have a direct damaging effect on the lungs, which leads to a vicious cycle. As such, it is very important to find a balance between resting the diaphragm (which may lead to weakness) and placing excessive work on the diaphragm (which can damage the diaphragm and possibly the lungs). In this study, the investigators want to test whether insufficient activity and excessive activity of the diaphragm during mechanical ventilation can be prevented or reduced. The investigators plan to measure the diaphragm activity in 40 participants on mechanical ventilation. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. In the intervention group, ventilator support levels will be adjusted according to the observed diaphragm activity, in an attempt to ensure adequate diaphragm activity. The control group receives usual care. The hypothesis is that adjusting the level of support provided by the ventilator is a feasible method to improve the time that the diaphragm operates within acceptable levels of activity over a 24 hour period.

NCT ID: NCT03526861 Completed - Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trials

Tralokinumab Monotherapy for Adolescent Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis - ECZTRA 6 (ECZema TRAlokinumab Trial no. 6).

Start date: June 19, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) administration of tralokinumab compared with placebo in treating adolescent subjects (age 12 to <18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab on severity and extent of AD, itch, and health-related quality of life compared with placebo. To investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability of SC administration of tralokinumab compared with placebo when used to treat adolescent subjects (age 12 to <18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD.

NCT ID: NCT03525730 Completed - HIV-1-infection Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT03525236 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

The Oncoflavour Study

Start date: June 19, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are often prescribed for malnourished patients to help improve nutritional status. Commonly in cancer patients taste and smell alterations and side effects of treatment can affect the palatability and compliance to ONS. A variety of flavours and styles are available of ONS however research of the palatability of these in cancer patients is limited. This study aims to evaluate specific flavours created based on the taste changes occuring during treatment. We aim to evaluate the patient liking and evaluation of 5 flavors in 3 different types of flavour-sensations: - Warming/spicy sensation: to trigger the senses and bring new sensations - Cooling/fresh sensation: to have a fresh mouthfeel and lighter base perception - Neutral: to avoid that patients experience additional flavour and let them the opportunity to mix it with other food
