Filter by:This observation will look at patient care decisions of the primary healthcare provider utilizing the results of the DNA testing of patients' metabolic pathways using 2C19, 2C9, 2D6, 3A4, Factor II, Factor V and MTHFR and VKORC1. Findings of the data collection will be published to optimize the benefits of pharmacogenomics testing and publish health outcomes.
The main study objective is to determine whether day and night automated closed loop glucose control combined with pump suspend feature will improve glucose control and reduce the burden of hypoglycaemia compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy alone. This is an open-label, multi-centre, multi-national, single-period, randomised, parallel group design study, involving a three-month period of home study during which day and night glucose levels will be controlled either by a closed loop system combined with pump suspend feature (intervention group) or by sensor augmented insulin pump therapy (control group). It is expected that up to 100 subjects, aiming for 84 randomised subjects [42 youth (6 to 21 years), and 42 adults (22 years and older)], with type 1 diabetes will be recruited through paediatric and adult outpatient diabetes clinics in each of the investigation centres. Subjects who drop out within the first four weeks of the intervention may be replaced. Participants will all be on subcutaneous insulin pump therapy and will have proven competencies both in the use of the study insulin pump and the study CGM device. Subjects in the intervention group will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed loop insulin delivery system and pump suspend feature. All subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. The primary outcome is between group differences in the time spent in the target glucose range from 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/l (70 to 180mg/dl) based on CGM glucose levels during the 12 week free living phase. Secondary outcomes are HbA1 at the end of treatment period, the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises assessment of the frequency of severe hypoglycaemic episodes.
The aim of this study is to assess the developmental patterns of lung function in children affected by growth hormone deficiency after one year of GH therapy.The assessment by specific questionnaires of quality of life and of parental stress index.Parameters will be evaluated at the time of the diagnosis and after 12 months of GH therapy.
The purpose of this study is to collect a portion of blood/tissue specimens that will be generated during the participants office visit or surgery. The investigators are asking whether a small portion of the specimen/s could be set aside and banked for future research purposes. Data originating from participants will be gathered and analyzed in research studies that will help understanding various medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), congenital uterine malformations, endocrine malfunctions, endometriosis, and infertility.
The purpose of this study is to assess the results of ovarian tissue freezing, such as resumption or initiation of menses (menstruation: the discharge of blood and tissue from the uterus that happens about every 4 weeks in females who are not pregnant) and pregnancy, prior to starting chemotherapy or radiation treatment (commonly used for cancer treatment or for other conditions such as multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis). Females who are about to undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer or these other medical conditions may stop having menses and may not be able to produce a biological child. Girls who have not achieved puberty and are exposed to chemotherapy (alkylating agents) or radiation treatment, the risk is up to 22-50%. In contrast, girls older than 10 years, or who have achieved puberty, experience acute ovarian failure in over 50% of the cases. By freezing and preserving ovarian tissue will help prevent these outcomes. In fact, when you are considered cured of your disease, you will have another surgical procedure where your own ovarian tissue will be transplanted back to you. This surgery will increase the possibility of resuming/initiating menses and the chance to have a pregnancy.
The purpose of this study is to collect data that will be generated during an office visit. The data will be gathered and analyzed in research studies that will help with the investigators understanding of various medical conditions. About 200 subjects will be participating in this study. Participation in this study will not require a patient's time or presence. The medical information contained in a patient's chart from the office visit, including the results of any tests that were ordered at that time, will be transferred to an anonymous database and analyzed together with data from other patients who have similar condition/s. No follow-up information will be collected. The following information will be collected from a patient's medical record: the medical history and a list of the current medications.
The trial will consist of three stages: 1) a 30 day Phase 2 PK and PD evaluation of somavaratan, 2) an optional Phase 2 Extension and 3) a 12 month Phase 3 safety and efficacy stage. Upon completion of the PK/PD stage, the PK/PD profiles for the GHD children in this study will be compared to the PK/PD profiles for the GHD children treated in the Western study Phase 1b/2a study (Protocol 12VR2) and identify the somavaratan dose to be used in the Phase 3 stage in Japan. The Phase 3 stage will continue dosing for 12 months to obtain safety and efficacy data on 48 subjects.
This study assesses the safety and tolerability of weekly TV-1106 compared to daily rhGH in adults with GHD who have previously been treated with rhGH.
This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to compare the safety of once weekly dosing of somapacitan (administered with an investigational pen) with daily Norditropin® FlexPro® (somatropin delivered within a prefilled pen) for 26 weeks in previously human growth hormone (hGH) treated adults with growth hormone deficiency.
This study evaluates the safety and efficiency of Pegylated Somatropin (PEG Somatropin) Injection in the treatment of endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad of population of children.
