NCT ID: NCT01741285 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

Effects of QVAR in Smokers With Asthma

OLiVIA
Start date: April 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

We hypothesize that extra-fine particle treatment with HFA-QVAR will be superior in improving small airways dysfunction, especially in ex-smokers and smokers with asthma. To investigate this, we will perform a study comparing the efficacy of extra-fine particle HFA-QVAR 200 µg b.i.d. to an equipotent dose of course particle HFA-beclomethasone (HFA-Clenil) 400 µg b.i.d. and with coarse particle HFA-fluticasone (GSK) 250 µg in ex-smokers and smokers with asthma. Study design: This study will be an open-label, randomised, three-way cross-over, two-center study. 20 smokers and 20 ex-smokers with asthma will receive the following treatments for two weeks:

NCT ID: NCT01740960 Completed - Drug Safety Clinical Trials

Safety and Tolerability of Namisol in the Elderly

THC
Start date: August 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The results of phase I Namisol® study (Klumpers et al. Br J Clin Pharmacol, 2012), implicate that Namisol® may have a favorable PK and PD characteristics and is safe to use in people. However, the study included only young adults with a mean age of 21.4 years. In a previous THC study, subjects age has been associated with treatment response and tolerance of adverse reactions. This association was not supported by Lane et al. and Volicer et al. There is concern about the safety and tolerability of THC in the elderly population. This is because, elderly persons in general have higher risk of adverse drug reactions due to a combination of physiological factors such as decreasing in lean body mass, the reduction of renal and hepatic clearance, and medical comorbidity which can lead to polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions. Therefore, data from the phase I trial cannot be translated directly to an elderly (and likely more vulnerable) population. This makes it important to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of different Namisol® doses in the elderly. In our study in progress "Delta-THC in Behavioral Disturbances in Dementia", the Namisol® doses of 0,75 mg and 1,5 mg are, until now, well tolerated by elderly subjects. These doses are, however, very low in comparison with the doses used in phase I study with young adults (5 mg, 6,5 mg and 8 mg). The current study on the safety and tolerability of relatively high doses of Namisol® will help us in the future to provide broad advice on the therapeutic index and safety profile of Namisol® in the elderly population.

NCT ID: NCT01740895 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Disease

ADenosine Vasodilator Independent Stenosis Evaluation II - ADVISE II

ADVISEII
Start date: December 2012

NCT ID: NCT01740037 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

IntegRAted Chronic Care Program at Specialized AF Clinic Versus Usual CarE in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation - RACE4

RACE4
Start date: December 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rationale: The treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation is often inadequate due to poor guideline adherence. An integrated chronic care program (ICCP) at a specialized AF-clinic was found to be superior to usual care provided by a cardiologist in terms of cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality. Hypothesis: treatment at a specialized AF clinic is superior to usual care in terms of cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations, cost-effectiveness, quality of life and guideline adherence. Objectives: primary objective is to show that an ICCP reduces cardiovascular hospitalizations and mortality. Study design: randomized controlled trial with two study arms: usual care provided by cardiologists (control) versus integrated chronic care program at a specialized AF clinic (intervention) in 8 hospitals in the Netherlands. The RACE4 is an event driven study. A total number of 246 events is needed. In total 1716 patients with newly diagnosed AF will be included. Total duration of the study is 5 years and 10 months with a minimal follow up of 1 year. Data is collected at inclusion, after 3, 6, 12 months, every year thereafter and at the end of the study. Study population: Patients older than 18 year with newly diagnosed AF. Intervention: The intervention is delivered through the specialized outpatient AF clinic. The multidisciplinary team at the AF clinic consists of a nurse practitioner or physician assistant or specialised cardiovascular nurse, cardiologist, and is guided by guidelines-based decision support software program based on the applicable ESC guideline recommendations. The use of a web-based patient centered management of patient's own medication (Medication manager TM) was optional. A standardized diagnostic, treatment and follow-up pathway was performed within the ICCP.

NCT ID: NCT01739764 Completed - Neoplasms Clinical Trials

An Extension (Rollover) Study of Vemurafenib in Participants With BRAF V600 Mutation-Positive Malignancies Previously Enrolled in an Antecedent Vemurafenib Protocol

Start date: February 19, 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study provided continued access to vemurafenib for eligible participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive malignancy, who were previously enrolled and treated in an antecedent vemurafenib protocol and did not meet the protocol's criteria for disease progression, or were treated beyond progression and were still deriving clinical benefit (as assessed by investigator), and may have therefore potentially benefited from continued treatment with vemurafenib. Participants received treatment with oral vemurafenib at 960 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID), 720 mg BID, or 480 mg BID, depending on the last dose in the antecedent protocol. Treatment continued until progression of disease or as long as the participant was deriving clinical benefit, as judged by the investigator (case-by-case decision with approval of the Medical Monitor), death, withdrawal of consent, unacceptable toxicity, loss to follow-up, or decision of the Sponsor to terminate the study, whichever occurred first.

NCT ID: NCT01738906 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

The Effect of Alcohol on Food Reward

Start date: October 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rationale It has been shown in several studies that alcohol increases subsequent food intake. However, moderate alcohol consumption has no clear effects on hunger and satiety hormones. In the Western world, where palatable food is highly available, food reward may play an important role in food intake. Alcohol consumption is known to stimulate neurotransmitters important for food reward and may therefore stimulate the reward response on a subsequent meal. This may lead to higher food consumption than when no alcohol is consumed. It is hypothesized that the reward response of food or beverages can already be generated when food or beverages are sensed in the mouth, because oral nutrient sensing is known to induce a satiety response (i.e. the cephalic phase response). Moreover, taste buds directly signal brain areas closely connected to the reward areas in the brain. Primary objective - To determine whether moderate alcohol consumption influences subsequent food reward, as measured by questionnaires on food 'wanting' and food 'liking', and salivary and blood parameters related to reward. Secondary objectives - To determine whether food reward is different when food is consumed than when food is sensed in the mouth, as measured by questionnaires on food 'wanting' and food 'liking', and salivary and blood parameters related to food reward. - To determine whether moderate alcohol consumption influences subsequent food reward differently when food is consumed than when food is sensed in the mouth, as measured by questionnaires on food 'wanting' and food 'liking', and salivary and blood parameters related to food reward.

NCT ID: NCT01738490 Completed - Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

Long-term Stability and Survival Rates of a Novel Oticon Medical Bone Conduction Device Implant

Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall aim of the study is to investigate the Ponto wide implant considering; initial implant stability, stability over time, skin reaction and long term success when loaded at 3 weeks post surgery. Patients' quality of life improvements following implantation will also be surveyed. More specifically the primary objective of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis - The new Ponto wide diameter implant offers increased implant stability measured as ISQ (implant stability quotient) compared to the previous generation Ponto implant. And the secondary objective is to - Investigate when in time implant stability is the lowest as the initial mechanical stability is gradually replaced by biological stability
