Filter by:To compare the single dose bioavailability of pantoprazole sodium 40 mg delayed release tablets (Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, India) with Protonix® 40 mg delayed release tablets (Wyeth Laboratories, USA) in 42 (+ 4 standby) healthy, adult, human subjects under fasting conditions.
To compare the bioavailability and characterise the pharmacokinetic profile of the sponsor's test formulation with respect to the reference formulation Cellcept® 500 mg tablets, in healthy, adult, human male subjects under fasting conditions and to assess the bioequivalence.
The investigators intend to study whether the use of the pain medication etoricoxib (Arcoxia) taken just before the Ramadan fast will prevent or lessen headache that some people get while fasting. The investigators hypothesize that etoricoxib will reduce the number of people getting headache, more than placebo. The investigators will do this by giving participants in the study either real medication or placebo (sugar pill) and comparing the results. The investigators will study this over two weeks. The first week one group will get the medicine and the other the placebo. The second the groups will switch. Neither the subjects nor the investigators will know who is in which group.
To determine single-dose oral bioequivalence of Minocycline HCl Extended Release Tablets 135 mg manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals Co.(I)Pvt. Ltd., India and SOLODYN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Extended Release Tablets 135 mg Manufactured for Medicis, The Dermatology Company, Scottsdale, AZ 85256, by Wellspring Pharmaceutical Canada Corp., Oakville, Ontario L6H 1M5 in normal, healthy, adult, human subjects under fasting condition.
The purpose of this study is to examine how acute nutritional challenges affect levels of several proteins involved in metabolism. These proteins will be measured in blood and fat tissue. This study will have several aims. One aim is to examine the effect of 72 hours of fasting on fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) levels. Participants will spend 3 days and nights in the Clinical Research Center at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. Daily blood samples will be taken. Two fat samples will be taken prior to and at the end of the fast. A subset of participants will also have two MRIs, one prior to and one at the end of the fast. We will study healthy adults and obese adults with liver-biopsy-diagnosed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). THIS STUDY ARM IS CURRENTLY NOT RECRUITING Another aim is to examine the effect of low-calorie diet on FGF-21 levels. Subjects will follow a hypocaloric diet that will be designed to achieve 3-5% weight loss. We will enroll participants with liver-biopsy-diagnosed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants will report weekly to the Clinical Research Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for weight measurements. Blood will be drawn before and after the weight loss. Participants will also have an MRI before and after the weight loss. THIS ARM IS CURRENTLY NOT RECRUITING Another aim of the study is to examine the effect of acute ingestion of glucose, fructose, and other sugars on serum FGF21 levels. Subjects in this study will be lean volunteers and individuals with metabolic syndrome. THIS ARM IS CURRENTLY RECRUITING
Fasting (refraining from eating and drinking) during the day is safe while receiving chemotherapy.
Breakfast is often labelled the most important meal of the day. Parents and teachers quite often stress its importance for successful learning during the morning hours. With declining numbers of children and especially adolescents eating breakfast regularly, the study examines the influence of breakfast consumption on cognition and mood of high school students.
This study will examine the potential changes in the blood levels of a recently discovered metabolic regulator in response to changes in diet in healthy adults. Our hypothesis is that in healthy adults key regulatory factors involved in lipid oxidation will respond to changes in diet, particularly fasting and diet-induced ketosis.
