NCT ID: NCT01535261 Completed - Macular Edema Clinical Trials

Ranibizumab Intravitreal Injections in Patients With Visual Impairment Due to Macular Edema Secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

CRYSTAL
Start date: February 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The present study will provide additional efficacy and safety data for 0.5-mg ranibizumab using as needed (PRN) dosing over 24 months in patients with visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO). Spectral domain high-definition optical coherence tomography (OCT) images will be analyzed to gain insights into predictive factors for disease progression and the possibility of reduced monitoring will be assessed in Year 2. The results of this open-label study will provide long-term safety and efficacy data to further guide recommendations on the use of ranibizumab in this indication.

NCT ID: NCT01532453 Terminated - Actinic Keratoses Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT01531543 Completed - Peritonitis Clinical Trials

Prospective Comparison of Primary Abdominal Closure and Vacuum Assisted Laparostomy in Treatment of Severe Peritonitis

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the project was to optimalize the process in severe peritonitis which is generally inflicted with high mortality and morbidity with long term costly therapy. Therapy of severe intraabdominal infection consist of treatment of the infection site and following closure of the abdominal cavity with possibility of re-laparotomy and in treatment of complications when needed; or closure introduction of laparostomy with intention to control complications prevention however with risk of tertiary peritonitis. Modern process is laparostomy with active suction (VAC) method which reduces the risk of tertiary peritonitis. It efficacy is however approved especially in therapy of complications. Based on the investigators experiences the investigators use this method even in case of primary treatment of severe peritonitis which led to protocol processing (VAC in case of primary closure of the abdominal cavity; VAC exchange according to scoring system; secondary closure of the abdominal cavity or early coverage with collagen mesh). The aim of this project is to prove reduced mortality, morbidity and hospitalization length (cost reduction) in prospective randomized study in patients treated due to severe peritonitis using VAC method in comparison to classical approach (primary closure of the abdominal cavity; secondary solution of complications).

NCT ID: NCT01528917 Completed - Clinical trials for Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency

An Observational Study of Patients With Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency/Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease Phenotype

Start date: June 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is a Natural History study to characterize key aspects of the clinical course of late onset Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency/ Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD).

NCT ID: NCT01524081 Completed - Acute Appendicitis Clinical Trials

Antibiotic Prophylaxis in the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections After Selected Urgent Abdominal Surgical Procedures

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Aim of prospective randomized a placebo controlled study is to prove that in case of acute surgical procedure due to appendicitis, ileus of small bowel and perforation of small bowel and stomach appropriately administered antibiotic prophylaxis is effective with lower incidence of infection in surgical site and comparable risk of development of other nosocomial infections versus group without antibiotic prophylaxis. Secondary aim is to determine risk of developing nosocomial infection in the above mentioned group of patients, identify group of patients which does not benefit from prophylaxis, and compile financial costs for antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment of nosocomial infections and thus the background for the recommended procedure with regards that such prospective study does not exist in the Czech Republic.

NCT ID: NCT01523665 Completed - Clinical trials for Intensive Care Patients

Blood Glucose Control in Intensive Care Patients Using the Space GlucoseControl System

Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Glucose metabolism is impaired in many critically ill patients and is often aggravated by parenteral feeding, infections and/or pre-existent diabetes.Therefore insulin infusion protocols, which are based on frequent bedside glucose monitoring, have been implemented on most critical care units. Despite extensive efforts of the intensive care unit staff difficulties were experienced in achieving efficient and safe glucose control. Several barriers to the implementation of glycemic control have been identified. Most importantly, there is concern about increased frequency of severe hypoglycemic episodes. To overcome these problems Space GlucoseControl was developed as a decision support system which helps to achieve safe and reliable blood glucose control in the desired ranges (4.4 - 6.1 mmol/l or 4.4 - 8.3 mmol/l). The objective of this non-interventional study is to gain additional information on the performance of the Space GlucoseControl system for glycaemic control in ICU patients when used in routine clinical practice.

NCT ID: NCT01520922 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Leukaemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic

Ofatumumab Plus Bendamustine in Frontline and Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)

Start date: March 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study investigating the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab plus bendamustine in subjects with untreated or relapsed CLL. Each subject from the screening phase who is willing to participate in the study and is found eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter the treatment phase and will receive a maximum of 6 Cycles of study treatment (ofatumumab plus bendamustine). All subjects will receive 3 Cycles of study treatment (Cycles 1, 2 and 3). Eligibility to receive study treatment for Cycles 4, 5 and 6 will be assessed following the 3rd Cycle. Subjects who have achieved at least stable disease with acceptable toxicity following 3 Cycles of treatment will be eligible to continue to receive study treatments for a maximum of 3 further Cycles. In case of progressive disease, at, or at any time after the start of Cycle 4, subjects must discontinue further study treatment and move into the study's follow-up period. During the treatment phase, all eligible subjects will be allocated to receive the following study treatments: 1. Subjects with Untreated CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (90 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days). 2. Subjects with Relapsed CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (70 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days). The studies primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) as determined by Investigator evaluation. The ORR is the percentage of subjects achieving an objective response (i.e., partial response or better), using the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Response assessments are planned at the following time-points: After 3 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment, after 6 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment and after the last dose, if not after 6 cycles, of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment. Follow-up assessments will be performed every 3 months following the last study treatment. The follow-up period will last for a maximum of 3 years. Response evaluation assessments to determine subject response or progression will be performed during the follow-up period, according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Following progression, only survival status and details concerning the subject's next CLL therapy will be recorded.
