NCT ID: NCT02138513 Completed - Depression Clinical Trials

(Cost-)Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in Cancer Patients

BeMind
Start date: April 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing anxiety, depression and fatigue in cancer patients. As this intervention can be offered in groups, costs are relatively low. In addition, delivering MBCT online might make the intervention more accessible and cost-effectiveness. However, more information is needed about what treatment works best for which patient. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate clinical and cost-effectiveness of both individual MBCT online and MBCT offered as a group training compared to TAU . Study design: The design of the study will be a multi-centre, randomised, superiority trial, comparing MBCT online and MBCT offered as a group training with TAU. Participants in the TAU condition will be randomised to one of the treatment conditions after 3 months. Main assessments will take place at baseline (T0), post-treatment (T1), and 3 (T2) and 9 months after post-treatment (T3). We expect the MBCT conditions to be superior to TAU in terms of improving mindfulness skills, anxiety and depressive compants, psychological well-being, rumination and fear of cancer recurrence. We also expect the MBCT to result in patients returning to work earlier, have a higher work ability and have lower medical care costs, thereby being more cost-effective than TAU.

NCT ID: NCT02136472 Recruiting - Infertility Clinical Trials

Female Subfertility: a Metabolic and Vascular Profile

Start date: April 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Introduction: Overall, 10 - 15% of couples seek specialist help once in their lives when a spontaneous pregnancy does not occur. These couples are defined subfertile when there is at least one year of unprotected intercourse without conceiving. Subfertility can have different causes which can be diagnosed with a basic fertility work-up. Unfortunately, the subfertility in 25% of the couples still remains unexplained. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that cardio-metabolic and hemodynamic abnormalities reducing cardiovascular reserves relate to circulatory redistribution at the expense of uterine perfusion and with it women's fertility. This could especially be important in the subgroups with an unexplained subfertility and a decreased ovarian reserve. Interventions to improve these abnormalities could lead to better results in fertility treatment, better obstetric outcome and reduced lifelong health risks. Objective: The investigators want to examine specific cardio-metabolic and cardiovascular parameters in women of subfertile couples. The investigators want to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in all women who are assessed for subfertility compared to healthy parous women. Furthermore in the women with an unexplained subfertility or with (signs of) a decreased ovarian reserve the cardiovascular profile will be studied consisting of the uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) as measure of uterine perfusion, the plasma volume as measure of venous reserve capacity, the intima media thickness of the carotid arteries as proxy of chronic strain and the endothelial function, measured by flow mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery. Study design: Cross-sectional Study population: The study group consists of subfertile women between 18 and 41 years who visit the fertility clinic in the Maastricht University Medical Centre with a primary or secondary subfertility. Women with an unexplained subfertility or with (signs of) a decreased ovarian reserve are evaluated for their cardiovascular profile. The control group consists of women with a history of an uneventful spontaneous pregnancy. Main study parameters: 1. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in subfertile women 2. The cardiovascular profile, in women with an unexplained subfertility or with (signs of) a decreased ovarian reserve, consisting of: - The uterine artery pulsatility index - The plasma volume - The intima media thickness (IMT) - The endothelial function of the vascular system (FMD)

NCT ID: NCT02136134 Completed - Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

Addition of Daratumumab to Combination of Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Start date: August 15, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of administration of daratumumab when combined with VELCADE (bortezomib) and dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethasone alone, for participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

NCT ID: NCT02136069 Completed - Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Trials

A Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Etrolizumab to Infliximab in Participants With Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis Who Are Naïve to Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibitors

GARDENIA
Start date: December 24, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a multicenter, Phase III, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of etrolizumab compared with infliximab in treating participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either etrolizumab 105 milligrams (mg) by subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) + placebo (intravenous [IV] infusion at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then once every 8 weeks [Q8W]) or infliximab 5 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) IV at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then Q8W) + placebo (SC Q4W). Time on treatment is 54 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT02135692 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

A Phase 3a, Repeat Dose, Open-label, Long-term Safety Study of Mepolizumab in Asthmatic Subjects

Start date: May 29, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a multi-center, open-label, long-term study of subcutaneously (SC) administered mepolizumab 100mg in addition to standard of care (SOC), in subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma. This study will enroll a subset of subjects from Study MEA115661 who have demonstrated clear benefit from therapy and who without continuation of mepolizumab therapy are individuals at greatest risk of serious deterioration of their health status. In order to target individuals at greatest risk for serious deterioration of their health status, only subjects from the MEA115661 study with a history of life-threatening or seriously debilitating asthma, will be allowed to participate. Subjects meeting all of the eligibility criteria for the study will be offered the opportunity to consent for this study of up to 128 weeks in length (including the Follow-Up Visit). This study will give opportunity to extend the collection of clinical data for long-term use and further assess the sustainability of efficacy in a population likely to experience significant loss of asthma control and the need for higher doses of systemic steroids if returned to SOC only.

NCT ID: NCT02135614 Completed - Clinical trials for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection

Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of Presatovir in Hospitalized Adults With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection
