NCT ID: NCT03740087 Completed - Vegan Diet Clinical Trials

Search for Bovine miRNA Transference to Humans

Start date: April 13, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Foods derived from plants and animals contain miRNAs, and, some reports have detected diet-derived miRNAs circulating in mammalian serum. It is still unclear if the miRNAs present in food can be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and brought to the tissues to perform regulatory functions. The transfer of functional exogenous miRNA has been demonstrated in bacterial and viral infections but it is less well characterized in mammals. Edible bovine tissues contain unique profiles of human-homologous miRNAs that withstand cooking. If miRNAs from other species can cross the gastrointestinal barrier, it could have implications in gene regulation and health. Objective: Determine whether miRNAs from beef cross the gastrointestinal barrier and are transferred to human plasma. Methods: The investigators obtained fasting plasma from 29 healthy subjects divided in two groups: the omnivore group (6 men, 8 women) and the vegan group (8 men, 7 women; control group). Each participant was given a standard meal with or without beef depending on their group, then the plasma was collected at 2, 4 and 6 hours after the meal. The changes in the levels of of miR-1, miR-10b, miR-22, miR-92 and miR-192 were analysed by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR).

NCT ID: NCT03732807 Completed - Alopecia Areata Clinical Trials

PF-06651600 for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata

ALLEGRO-2b/3
Start date: December 3, 2018
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a global Phase 2b/3 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational study drug (called PF-06651600) in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) who have 50% or greater scalp hair loss. The study is placebo-controlled, meaning that some patients entering the study will not receive active study drug but will receive tablets with no active ingredients (a placebo). This is a dose-ranging study, investigating 5 different dosing regimens. It will be double-blinded, meaning that the sponsor, the study doctors, the staff, and the patients will not know whether a patient is on active study drug (or the dose) or placebo.

NCT ID: NCT03732586 Completed - Alcoholic Hepatitis Clinical Trials

Effect of Omega 5 Fatty Acid as an Adyuvant Treatment to Prednisone in Patients With Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis

Start date: September 30, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In Mexico, alcoholic liver disease is the fourth cause of mortality (INEGI). Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis have a high mortality at 28 days and 6 months, patients receiving standard therapy with prednisone that are non responders (Lille> 0.45) have a survival of 53.3 ± 5.1 % to 28 days. At present, there is not a completely effective treatment for non responders patients, with a high mortality, so it is necessary to look for other therapeutic strategies. The omega-5 fatty acid (punicic acid) has been considered a powerful antioxidant, it is an agonist of PPAR gamma, has been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation, and restore levels of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase. It has also been shown to inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL6, IL8, IL23, IL12 and TNFalpha) through PPAR and modulation delta. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Omega 5 fatty acid on inflammatory markers and antioxidant-oxidant balance markers in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis treated with prednisone. HYPOTHESIS. Omega 5 fatty acid being a PPARgamma agonist reduces lipid peroxidation and protein damage, restoring reduced glutathione levels, as well as decreasing proinflammatory cytokines, in patients with Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis treated with prednisone and supplementation with fatty acid Omega 5.

NCT ID: NCT03730662 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

SURPASS-4
Start date: November 20, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide taken once a week to insulin glargine taken once daily in participants with type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk. The study will last about 108 weeks and may include up to 30 visits.

NCT ID: NCT03729024 Completed - Cataract Clinical Trials

Exploratory Study to Evaluate Uncorrected Distance Vision and Quality of Vision After Light Treatments of an Implanted RxSight Light Adjustable Lens (RXLAL) With The Light Delivery Device (LDD) in Subjects With Preoperative Corneal Astigmatism

Start date: January 26, 2018

Phase:
Study type: Observational

This large multinational, non-interventional study (NIS), will retrospectively collect data derived from established medical records over a period of up to approximately 6 years (2013 to 2018), building a platform to capture and consolidate information on treatment patterns, Overall Survival (OS) and treatment effectiveness outcomes in the real-world setting.

NCT ID: NCT03720470 Completed - Dermatitis, Atopic Clinical Trials

Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of PF-04965842 and Dupilumab in Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis on Background Topical Therapy

JADE Compare
Start date: October 29, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

B7451029 is a Phase 3 study to investigate PF-04965842 in adult patients who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and use background topical therapy. The efficacy of two dosage strengths of PF-04965842, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily will be evaluated relative to placebo over 12 weeks. The efficacy of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will be compared with dupilumab in terms of pruritus relief at 2 weeks. The two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 and dupilumab 300 mg injected subcutaneously once every two weeks (with a loading dose of 600 mg injected on the first day) will also be evaluated relative to placebo over 16 weeks. The safety of the investigational products will be evaluated over the duration of the study. Subjects will use non-medicated emollient at least twice a day and medicated topical therapy such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors, as per protocol guidance, to treat active lesions during the study. Subjects who are randomized to receive one of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will also receive placebo injectable study drug every two weeks until Week 16 and then will continue on receiving only the oral study drug for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to receive dupilumab injections every two weeks will also receive oral placebo to be taken once daily until Week 16 and will then continue to receive only the oral placebo for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to the placebo arms, will receive both daily oral placebo and injectable placebo every two weeks until Week 16, after which they will receive either 100 mg or 200 mg of PF-04965842 taken orally once daily for 4 weeks, dependent upon which arm they have been allocated to. Eligible subjects will have an option to enter a long-term extension study after completing 20 weeks of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT03714672 Completed - Acute Pain Clinical Trials

Tramadol/Diclofenac Fixed-dose Combination Phase III Trial in Acute Pain After Third Molar Extraction

Start date: August 26, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluated a new drug fixed-dose combination tablet (FDC) called tramadol/diclofenac at two different strengths (fixed doses of 25 milligrams [mg] of tramadol and of diclofenac or of 50 mg each). Tramadol and diclofenac each relieve pain, but they do so by different mechanisms. They were used alone as comparator drug in this study. Both are marketed drugs and are standard treatment for acute pain, including wisdom tooth removal.
