NCT ID: NCT03064542 Completed - Hyperthyroidism Clinical Trials

The Role of Thyroid Status in Regulating Brown Adipose Tissue Activity, White Adipose Tissue Partitioning and Resting Energy Expenditure

TRIBUTE
Start date: October 13, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

To determine how thyroid status regulates the relationship between brown adipose tissue (BAT) volume/activity, white adipose tissue (WAT) partitioning and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in hyperthyroid patients transitioning to euthyroidism via antithyroid drugs. To compare euthyroid outcomes (BAT, WAT, BMR, body composition, body weight and insulin resistance) achieved by hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) set point vs. normal ranges of plasma free thyroxine 4 (FT4) and throxine stimulating hormone (TSH).

NCT ID: NCT03061812 Completed - Clinical trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Comparing Rovalpituzumab Tesirine Versus Topotecan in Subjects With Advanced or Metastatic Small Cell Lung Cancer With High Levels of Delta-like Protein 3 (DLL3) and Who Have First Disease Progression During or Following Front-line Platinum-based Chemotherapy (TAHOE)

TAHOE
Start date: April 11, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this randomized, open-label, 2-arm, phase 3 study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rovalpituzumab tesirine versus topotecan in participants with advanced or metastatic SCLC with high levels of DLL3, who have first disease progression during or following front-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT03057951 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

EMPagliflozin outcomE tRial in Patients With chrOnic heaRt Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (EMPEROR-Preserved)

Start date: March 2, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a study in adults with chronic heart failure. People with chronic heart failure may need to be hospitalised for their condition. Some people with chronic heart failure may eventually die from their condition. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called empagliflozin lowers the chances of patients having to go to hospital for heart failure and whether it improves their survival. The study is open to patients with a type of chronic heart failure called chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Participants stay in the study until researchers have enough information about how effective empagliflozin is. It is expected that participants who enter at the very beginning of the enrolment period may be in the study for over 3 years, while participants who enter near the end of the enrolment period may be in the study for less than 2 years. The participants are put into 2 groups. It is decided by chance who gets into which group. One group gets empagliflozin tablets every day and the other group gets placebo tablets every day. Placebo tablets look like empagliflozin tablets but contain no medicine. Participants visit the doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information about the participant's health. The doctors want to know how many patients had to go to hospital because of heart failure or who died from cardiovascular disease.

NCT ID: NCT03048994 Completed - Severe Sepsis Clinical Trials

Glutamine Supplementation in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Sepsis

CGH-GLU
Start date: January 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Severe sepsis is a common condition with high mortality and morbidity. A previous meta-analysis has demonstrated the safety of glutamine supplementation with suggestion of mortality and morbidity benefits in critically ill patients. But there is lack of evidence to recommend the use of intravenous glutamine supplementation in this population group. A randomized controlled trial which is adequately powered will resolve this issue and can be included in future international nutrition guidelines for the critically ill. This pilot study is done prior to a proposed local multi-center study to investigate the effects of glutamine supplementation.

NCT ID: NCT03046823 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Imaging-based Diagnosis of Diffuse Coronary Artery Disease and Quantification of Cardiac Remodeling in Obesity

Start date: June 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study aims to: 1. Characterize coronary artery disease (CAD) using CT Angiography (CTA) and scaling power law in 100 patients with obesity 2. Characterize cardiac remodeling using curvedness-based MRI in 100 patients with obesity 3. Compare the differences of cardiac and vascular remodeling in patients with metabolic syndrome and those without

NCT ID: NCT03040141 Completed - Influenza A Clinical Trials

Study of Efficacy and Safety of IV VIS410 Plus Oseltamivir Versus Oseltamivir in Hospitalized Adults With Influenza A

Start date: January 3, 2018
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of VIS410 in combination with oseltamivir vs oseltamivir alone in severely ill subjects with influenza A infection requiring oxygen support.

NCT ID: NCT03038113 Completed - Chronic Hepatitis B Clinical Trials

A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of RO7062931in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B

Start date: February 6, 2017
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This randomized study will be conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of RO7062931. Part 1 will include only healthy participants and Part 2 will include only participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Part 1 is an adaptive, single-ascending dose study with an adaptive dose-escalating schedule to determine the best dose to be evaluated in participants with CHB. Part 2 is an adaptive, parallel multiple-dose study comprised of three sub-parts which will be used to further refine the dose and dosing regimen, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7062931 when administered with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy.

NCT ID: NCT03032497 Completed - Pain, Chronic Clinical Trials

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-Based Feedback for Chronic Pain Management

Start date: June 5, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The feasibility study proposed here will primarily examine the sensitivity of an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) in detecting significant differences in brain signals in patients with chronic low back pain (N=10), lower limb pain (N=10) and healthy controls (N=10) through perceived movements via a video and during actual movements. The BCI device has been approved for use in previous trials (e.g. NNI-IRB/07/001, DSRB Domain D/09/608, DSRB Domain D/10/072) and the safety and effectiveness of this non-invasive EEG-based BCI device validated through these trials. However, the validation has not been specific to its use in pain. Related to the primary objective of the study, we will develop and validate an adaptive and participant-specific pain detection and analysis program by exploring and identifying discriminative and robust patterns in spontaneous EEG from our study sample. For the secondary objective, we will develop and validate a BCI and computer based pain and attention diversion training system with interactive audio-visual feedbacks for Phase 2 of the study. These feedbacks will inform the user about the current brain activation level and attention level, and guide the user in learning to modulate the EEG characteristics and develop skills to manage attention to alleviate perceived fear-related pains. The BCI system captures EEG signals and decodes the underlying brain states in relation to cognition and fear-related pain perception. Such decoded brain states are then presented to the participant in visual or other form to guide the participant to learn to regulate the brain states towards better pain management. For example, the participant may over a few sessions learn to focus on the visual feedback while inhibiting the brain function activity in relation to fear-related pain perception. With practice, the user is encouraged to achieve brain activity modulation without external feedback so fear-related pain can be reduced in realistic situations.
