NCT ID: NCT02180113 Completed - Cirrhosis Clinical Trials

Spleen Stiffness Measurement With FibroScan

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

FibroScan® (Echosens, Paris, France) is an active non implantable medical device marketed in Europe since December 2003 and is currently used in many countries. FibroScan® is an ultrasound-based vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE™) device dedicated to liver stiffness measurement (LSM). Several clinical studies have shown the accuracy of LSM by FibroScan® to predict liver fibrosis. Some other studies have already shown the good correlation between LSM, assessed by FibroScan® based on VCTE™ technology, and the presence of portal hypertension (PHT). PHT is a clinical condition characterized by a high blood pressure in the portal vein and its tributaries and it is defined as a gradient between portal and systemic blood pressure > 6 mmHg. The development of oesophageal varices (OV) in cirrhotic patients, as well as their potential bleeding, represent one of the most severe and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Upper endoscopy is the best diagnostic tool for detecting the presence of OV, gastric varices or congestive gastropathy, for estimating the grade of OV and for the recognition of the presence of red color signs and wale marks or other indicators of high risk for bleeding. However these two methods are quite invasive and associated with some risks; at the same time, not all cirrhotic patients present OV at endoscopic screening. The aim of this study is the validation of SSM, assessed by a FibroScan® with acquisition parameters and algorithm optimized for SSM, as surrogate noninvasive marker for the presence of OV in liver cirrhosis patients.

NCT ID: NCT02178956 Completed - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study of BBI608 Plus Weekly Paclitaxel to Treat Gastric and Gastro-Esophageal Junction Cancer

BRIGHTER
Start date: October 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive a new drug, BBI608, in addition to paclitaxel chemotherapy or better to receive paclitaxel chemotherapy alone as second line treatment for gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer after prior first line platinum and fluoropyrimidine based chemotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT02178475 Completed - Clinical trials for Chemotherapy-induced Febrile Neutropenia

Prospective Observational Study of Febrile Neutropenia (FN) and Pegfilgrastim Primary Prophylaxis in Breast Cancer and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients Receiving High (>20%) FN-risk Chemotherapy

Start date: July 18, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To estimate the incidence of febrile neutropenia in patients with breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma receiving high (> 20%) FN-risk chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim primary prophylaxis.

NCT ID: NCT02174627 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Safety and Efficacy Study of Roxadustat to Treat Anemia in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Not on Dialysis

Start date: June 26, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of roxadustat for treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis

NCT ID: NCT02174276 Completed - Chronic Hepatitis B Clinical Trials

Safety and Efficacy of GS-4774 in Combination With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) for the Treatment of Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) and Who Are Currently Not on Treatment

Start date: July 24, 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GS-4774 in adults with CHB and who are currently not on treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive TDF alone or GS-4774 plus TDF for 20 weeks. After Week 20, GS-4774 will be discontinued. All participants will continue on TDF and will be followed for an additional 28 weeks. Following completion of the 48 week study period, all participants will be eligible for a treatment extension for 96 weeks.

NCT ID: NCT02173821 Completed - Clinical trials for Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency

A Follow-up Study to Examine the Presence of Anti-human Growth Hormone Antibodies Following a Study (FE 999905 CS07) of Zomacton in Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency

Start date: October 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a follow-up study of patients, treated with one daily dose of Zomacton or one daily dose of Genotropin in the previously completed FE 999905 CS07 trial, who had presence of anti-hGH antibodies at any post-dosing visit during the 12-month treatment period. No investigational medicinal product will be administered in connection with this follow-up study. Eligible patients will attend one visit in this follow-up study.

NCT ID: NCT02172950 Completed - Hemophilia A Clinical Trials

An Open-label Safety and Efficacy Study of Recombinant FVIII in Patients With Severe Hemophilia A

Start date: October 13, 2014
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This multicenter, open-label, phase 3 extension study will investigate the safety and efficacy of rVIII-SingleChain for prophylaxis and on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes in at least 200 previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe congenital hemophilia A and previous exposure to FVIII products who achieve at least 100 exposure days (EDs) to rVIII-SingleChain in this study, as well as in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with no previous exposure to any FVIII product who achieve at least 50 EDs to rVIII-SingleChain in this study. A substudy (open to both PTPs and PUPs) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in surgery. A substudy (open to PUPs who develop an inhibitor to rVIII-SingleChain) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy.

NCT ID: NCT02170064 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Tolerability of BIA 2-093

Start date: June 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of Eslicarbazepine acetate in children and adolescents with epilepsy.

HBVQuant
Start date: March 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This non-interventional clinical study will be conducted to prospectively collect serial plasma samples from subjects with chronic HBV infection who are initiating antiviral therapy. These samples will be used to estimate clinical utility endpoints for the Aptima HBV Quant assay, which is used as an aid in the management of HBV-infected patients undergoing HBV antiviral therapy.
