NCT ID: NCT01844349 Completed - Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trials

Nutritional Transition in the Maghreb and Prevention of Obesity and Non-communicable Diseases

Obe-Maghreb
Start date: March 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Problematic and state of the art Obesity and its associated non communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising rapidly in middle income countries, such as those in the Maghreb (North Africa). This progression is related to the context of a nutrition transition (changing food and physical activity environment) and profound changes in technological advances and in society. These societies and their health systems are insufficiently prepared for this evolution, which has enormous health and socioeconomic consequences. In the context of limited resources, the priority has been given on an international level to prevention. But several problems arise: - these countries are still confronted by undernutrition in terms of micronutrient deficiencies, which coexist with obesity and NCDs, including at a family level and also individual level. Known as the 'double burden', this coexistence is relatively new and has been rarely documented until recently. Educational measures could be ineffective in a society where cultural norms do not recognise obesity and where changes in lifestyle are possibly not seen as acceptable. As well as information about citizen's knowledge of risk factors, data on their perceptions and attitudes are indispensable. Policies that involve changing the 'obesogenic' environment that individuals occupy is a priority. Objectives of the project Overall aim: to contribute to the development of preventive strategies for obesity and chronic NCDs in the context of a nutrition transition. Specific objectives: characterise the nature and size of the double burden (obesity/undernutrition) in regions, families and individuals; estimate the prevalence of biological and behavioural risk factors; characterise the psycho-sociocultural determinants of behaviour.

NCT ID: NCT01787279 Completed - Clinical trials for Hepatitis B, Chronic

An Expanded Access Study of Pegasys (Peginterferon Alfa-2a) in Patients With HBeAg-Negative Chronic Hepatitis B

Start date: January 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is an expanded access programme to make Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) available to patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in Morocco. Patients will receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly for 48 weeks and efficacy and safety will be recorded during treatment and for 24 weeks of follow-up.

Investigate the inhibitor development rate of Human cl rhFVIII in previously untreated patients with severe Hemophilia A.

NCT ID: NCT01610791 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A Study of RoActemra/Actemra (Tocilizumab) in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Have an Inadequate Response to DMARDs (REMISSION)

Start date: March 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This open label, single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (6 infusions).

NCT ID: NCT01589653 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Comparing Patient-adjusted Versus Physician-adjusted Titration of BIAsp 30 Combined With Metformin in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Start date: May 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This trial is conducted in Africa and Asia. The aim of the trial is to compare patient-adjusted versus physician-adjusted titration of BIAsp 30 combined with metformin in type 2 diabetes patients uncontrolled on NPH insulin.

NCT ID: NCT01572038 Completed - Breast Neoplasms Clinical Trials

A Study of Pertuzumab in Combination With Trastuzumab (Herceptin) and a Taxane in First-Line Treatment in Participants With Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (HER2)-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer

PERUSE
Start date: June 1, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and a taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) in first-line treatment in participants with metastatic or locally recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer. Participants will receive pertuzumab intravenously (IV) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV plus a taxane in cycles of 3 weeks each until predefined study end, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first.

NCT ID: NCT01566721 Completed - Breast Neoplasms Clinical Trials

A Safety and Tolerability Study of Assisted and Self-Administered Subcutaneous (SC) Herceptin (Trastuzumab) as Adjuvant Therapy in Early Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Breast Cancer

SafeHER
Start date: May 17, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This multicenter, two-cohort, non-randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of assisted and self-administered SC Herceptin as adjuvant therapy in participants with early HER2-positive breast cancer following tumor excision. Participants will receive Herceptin 600 milligrams (mg) SC every 3 weeks for 18 cycles, either by an assisted administration using a conventional syringe and needle/vial formulation (Cohort A) or with assisted and self-administration using a single-use injection device (SID) in selected participants (Cohort B).

NCT ID: NCT01541215 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Ellipseā„¢
Start date: November 13, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in the paediatric population in order to potentially address the unmet need for treatment of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes.
