NCT ID: NCT02955069 Completed - Clinical trials for Well-differentiated Non-functional NET of Gastrointestinal Origin

Start date: February 14, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of PDR001 in patients with advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated, non-functional neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic, gastrointestinal (GI), or thoracic origin or poorly-differentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP-NEC) that progressed on prior treatment.

NCT ID: NCT02954588 Completed - Clinical trials for Abdominal Obesity Metabolic Syndrome

Effect of Pyridoxamine Supplementation on Vascular Function and Insulin Sensitivity

Start date: October 14, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that increased adipose mass, especially visceral adipose tissue, contributes directly towards an increase in systemic inflammation, (micro-)vascular dysfunction and the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Advanced glycation/lipoxidation endproducts (AGEs/ALEs) are a heterogeneous family of unavoidable by-products, which are formed by reactive metabolic intermediates derived from glucose and lipid oxidation. In addition to the overwhelming amount of data demonstrating the role of AGEs/ALEs in the development of (micro-)vascular dysfunction and disease, accumulation of AGEs/ALEs in the expanding adipose tissue contributes to the dysregulation of adipokines and the development of insulin resistance. The investigators want to examine, in a double-blind randomized placebo controlled parallel study, the physiological effect of a dietary intervention with pyridoxamine in abdominally obese persons. A sub-study is implemented next to the clinical trial. The objective of the sub-study is to measure the metabolization and kinetics of pyridoxamine in plasma and urine with UPLC-MS/MS. The sub-study comprises of 5 additional healthy volunteers, with pyridoxamine as an oral supplement.

NCT ID: NCT02954107 Recruiting - Absence Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Longitudinal Early Epilepsy Study

LEES
Start date: September 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This longitudinal study will focus on the cognitive and brain development of children with absence epilepsy. In addition, the investigators aim to identify prognostic factors for cognitive deterioration and/or poor seizure control in these children.

NCT ID: NCT02953756 Completed - Neoplasm Metastases Clinical Trials

Cognitive Outcome After Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Patients With Brain Metastases (CAR-Study A)

Start date: October 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is increasingly applied in patients with brain metastases (BM) and is expected to have less adverse effects on cognitive functioning than Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT). Because cognitive functions are essential for daily functioning, and may affect therapy compliance and quality of life in general, a full understanding of cognitive functioning in patients with BM after SRS is essential. CAR-Study A is a prospective study to evaluate cognitive functioning in patients with 1-10 BM accepted for treatment with Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS).

NCT ID: NCT02953717 Active, not recruiting - Neoplasm Metastasis Clinical Trials

Cognitive Outcome After SRS or WBRT in Patients With Multiple Brain Metastases (CAR-Study B)

Start date: February 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) has long been the mainstay of treatment for patients with multiple brain metastases (BM). Meanwhile, Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been increasingly employed in the management of multiple BM to spare healthy tissue. Hence, GKRS is expected to cause fewer cognitive side effects than WBRT. Treatment of multiple BM without cognitive side effects is becoming more important, as more patients live longer due to better systemic treatment options. There are no published randomized trials yet directly comparing GKRS to WBRT in patients with multiple BM, including objective neuropsychological testing. CAR-Study B is a prospective randomized trial comparing cognitive outcome after GKRS or WBRT in eligible patients with 11-20 BM.

NCT ID: NCT02953301 Active, not recruiting - Mycosis Fungoides Clinical Trials

Resminostat for Maintenance Treatment of Patients With Advanced Stage Mycosis Fungoides (MF) or Sézary Syndrome (SS)

RESMAIN
Start date: November 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether resminostat will be able to delay or prevent worsening of disease in patients with advanced stage mycosis fungoides or Sézary Syndrome that have recently achieved disease control with previous systemic therapy.

NCT ID: NCT02953132 Completed - Healthy Clinical Trials

A Clinical Study to See How the Study Drug MT-4129 is Taken up by the Body in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: November 2016
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of ascending single and multiple oral doses of MT-4129 in healthy subjects.

NCT ID: NCT02952391 Recruiting - Parkinson's Disease Clinical Trials

Assessing Cholinergic Innervation in Parkinson's Disease Using the PET Imaging Marker [18F]Fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol

Start date: September 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Although PD is considered predominantly as a motor disease caused by loss of dopaminergic neurons, multiple studies indicate that cholinergic dysfunction already starts in early PD and is crucial for the development of dementia in addition to motor symptoms.Because of its crucial role in CNS functioning and neurodegenerative disorders, including PD, it is of great importance to get a better understanding of the cholinergic functioning in the brain. Pathways of acetylcholine synthesis, transport and release provide possible targets for in vivo imaging of the cholinergic system. However,previous approaches are considered as indirect biomarkers of cholinergic terminal integrity because they measure both pre- and post-synaptic expressions. The novel vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) tracer [18F]Fluoroethoxy-Benzovesamicol ([18F]FEOBV) provides a more direct measurement of presynaptic cholinergic function. The use of [18F]FEOBV as a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging marker of cholinergic innervations has, however, only been studied in healthy human volunteers and no data is available on patients. With this study the differences in cholinergic function between PD patients and healthy aged-matched volunteers will be quantified. In addition the test-retest variability will be determined

NCT ID: NCT02951767 Completed - Bladder Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study of Atezolizumab in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Bladder Cancer (Cohort 1)

Start date: May 31, 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This Phase II, single-arm study is designed to evaluate the effect of atezolizumab treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. Participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 (reported here) will consist of participants who are treatment-naïve and ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Cohort 2 will contain participants who have progressed during or following a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. The results of the second cohort are reported separately (NCT02108652). Participants in both cohorts will be given a 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) dose of atezolizumab on Day 1 of 21-day cycles. Treatment of participants in Cohort 1 will continue until disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or unmanageable toxicity. Treatment of participants in Cohort 2 will continue until loss of clinical benefit or unmanageable toxicity.
