Filter by:The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of linagliptin (5 mg / once daily) compared to placebo given over 12 weeks in drug naive or previously treated type 2 diabetic patients with moderate to severe renal impairment and insufficient glycaemic control. In addition safety in this patient population with longer term (40 week) treatment in comparison to sulfonylurea drug (glimepiride).
A study to see how a single subcutaneous dose of Epoetin beta (NeoRecormon®) in healthy Japanese compares with a single subcutaneous dose of Epoetin beta (NeoRecormon®) in Caucasian Male subjects. Each subject received a single subcutaneous dose of 50IU/kg of NeoRecormon Multidose solution on Day 1.
Primary outcome measure: - Analyze the efficacy (in order to evaluate the response) of Bortezomib/Dexamethasone treatment Secondary outcome measures: - Study the speed of response and the response rate (M component in serum and urine protein) after each bortezomib/dexamethasone cycle - Compare the efficacy of the bortezomib/dexamethasone therapy against the therapy without bortezomib - Reversibility of renal failure - Predictive value in the light chain determination for response and reversibility of renal failure - Early morbidity (< 2 months) - Progression-free survival - Overall survival The safety outcome consists in: - Determining the safety and tolerance of VELCADE/Dexamethasone, according to the toxicity criteria of clinical and laboratory events
The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of colchicine and its primary metabolites in plasma and urine following a single 0.6 mg oral dose of colchicine in healthy adults with normal renal function, in patients with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment, and in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. An additional objective of this study is to study the clearance of colchicine and its metabolites by hemodialysis. Secondary objectives include evaluation of the safety and tolerability of colchicine in the study population.
To assess the Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single doses of ASP1517 in renal anemia patients on hemodialysis. Safety and tolerability will be also evaluated in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the safety and effectiveness of Zemplar® (paricalcitol) injection and paricalcitol capsules in real-life clinical practice. Participants, who have been treated with paricalcitol in-label in an everyday setting, have been included into this study. A period of 12 months has been chosen in order to also obtain experience on the maintenance dose and treatment optimization with paricalcitol injection and paricalcitol capsules in long-term use.
The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the use of Zemplar (paricalcitol) capsules in real-life clinical practice in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of febuxostat, once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID), on renal function in gout patients with elevated serum urate levels and who have moderate to severe renal impairment.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the long term use, safety and efficacy of Zemplar as it is prescribed in the normal clinical setting and according to the approved Summary of Product Characteristics for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients in Greece.
Patients are admitted to the critical care unit of the hospital because of medical conditions that have a high likelihood of causing severe problems with blood flow, breathing, or brain function. These conditions also have a high likelihood of causing death. Approximately 10 to 15% of all critically ill patients die in hospital. A large amount of scientific evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of these deaths is due to a combination of blot clotting and inflammation in the blood vessels. Statins are drugs that interfere with cholesterol and fat metabolism. Cholesterol and fat in the blood are associated with blood clotting and inflammation in the blood vessels. Statins are known to be very beneficial in improving the survival after heart attacks, and in preventing heart attacks. The question that VASTVALUS asks is: do statins improve survival among all critically ill patients? In VASTVALUS, we will concentrate on patients that do not currently require a statin because of their medical condition e.g. after a heart attack, but we are concerned with the rest of the critically ill. In VASTVALUS, participating patients will receive either atorvastatin 80 mg daily or a placebo. Atorvastatin is a statin with a well-established record of safety and effectiveness. A placebo has no known medical activity. We will follow all patients in VASTVALUS to determine whether atorvastatin has any effect on the occurrence of death, stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure among the critically ill. Results from VASTVALUS will be shared with the medical community after the study is completed. As with all clinical trials, patients in VASTVALUS participate of their own choice, and can change their mind at any time.
