Filter by:This study will investigate whether etanercept will result in improved inflammatory indices, glucose tolerance and endothelial function in patients with the metabolic syndrome.
Defects in the apoptotic process can lead to the onset of cancer by allowing cells to grow unchecked when an oncogeneic signal is present. Obatoclax is designed to restore apoptosis through inhibition of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, thereby reinstating the natural process of cell death that is often inhibited in cancer cells. This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase II study of obatoclax administered in 2-week cycles to patients with previously-untreated Myelodysplastic Syndromes with anemia and/or thrombocytopenia. Treatment may be administered on an outpatient basis. No investigational or commercial agents or therapies other than those described herein may be administered with the intent to treat the patient's malignancy. Supportive care measures including those directed at controlling symptoms resulting from Myelodysplastic Syndromes are allowed
The objective of the VALIDE study is to validate that a 25% dose reduction of enoxaparine in patients with moderate renal failure (creatinine clearance between 30 and 50 ml/min) and hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome provides at steady state a similar anti Xa level in plasma compared to that obtained in patients without renal failure and receiving the usual dose of 1 mg/kg subcutaneously every 12 hours. 140 per - protocol patients are planned to be included.
We are evaluating the efficacy of the association of Low dose Cytarabine in association with Bortezomib in the treatment of patients diagnosed with high risk Myelodysplastic syndromes. Our aim is to decrease transfusion requirements and if possible induce a complete or at least a partial remission.
A 6-week clinical trial in patients with metabolic syndrome and hypercholesterolemia at high risk for coronary heart disease to study the effects of ezetimibe/simvastatin and atorvastatin on lipids.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) with the angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan or the renin antagonist aliskiren will improve ventricular hemodynamics, as reflected by a greater reduction in levels of N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) compared to placebo in subjects stabilized following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are determined to be at high risk due to an elevated concentration of natriuretic peptides.
SMP-986 is a compound being developed for the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OABS). This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that SMP-986 at doses of 20mg, 40mg, 80mg or 120mg provides greater symptom relief in OABS compared to placebo. The hypothesis will be tested by measuring the change in mean voids/24 hrs after treatment with SMP-986 compared to placebo, as well comparing the change in: the severity of urgency episodes, mean number of urgency episodes/24 hr, mean number of incontinence episodes/24 hr and the mean void volume/void between SMP-986 and placebo.
This is a 3-day study comparing pyridostigmine versus placebo in the treatment of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The researchers expect pyridostigmine to improve tachycardia and stabilize blood pressure.
This study investigates whether blockade of TNF will result in reduced inflammatory indices in patients with the metabolic syndrome
An abdominal distribution of fat is associated with the greatest heart disease risk, because commonly, several risk factors of metabolic origin cluster in these individuals. When this occurs the condition is called the 'metabolic syndrome'. Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system resulting in enhanced release of the stress hormone 'noradrenaline', may be one mechanism by which adverse cardiovascular and metabolic sequela of the metabolic syndrome might be mediated. Impaired insulin action may be one factor contributing to increased noradrenaline release. The aim of this Study is to determine whether treatment with a drug called pioglitazone which is known to improve insulin action, results in reduced sympathetic nervous system activity and stress hormone release when compared to treatment with a dummy drug (placebo).
