The purpose of this 24 week study is to evaluate the spirometric lung function effect (trough FEV1) of Umeclidinium/Vilanterol 62.5/25 once daily compared to Tiotropium 18 mcg once daily along with safety assessments in subjects with COPD.
NCT02105974
This is a Phase IIIa, multicenter, randomized, stratified (reversibility status), double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FF/VI 100/25 micrograms (mcg) once daily (QD) compared with VI 25 mcg QD, administered in the morning via the ELLIPTA™ inhaler. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution on lung function (as measured by trough forced expiratory volume in one second \[FEV1\]) of FF 100 mcg to the FF/VI 100/25 mcg QD combination by comparison of the latter with VI 25 mcg QD and the safety of FF/VI 100/25 mcg over a 12-week treatment period in subjects with COPD. ELLIPTA™ is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline.
NCT00618228
The objective of this study was to assess bioequivalence of a potential generic 750 mg balsalazide disodium capsule formulation compared with Salix Pharmaceutical's 750 mg balsalazide disodium capsule, Colazal, following a single 750 mg dose, under fasting conditions.
NCT03253783
This study uses a randomized controlled design to evaluate the efficacy of a new mobile app, Pulse, in reducing the incidence of unprotected sex among young women. Pulse is a web-based mobile health application that can be accessed through mobile smartphones and computers. Pulse was designed to increase highly effective birth control use and reproductive and sexual health care utilization, and ultimately decrease teen pregnancy. The sample is comprised of women with the following characteristics at study enrollment: aged 18-20, not pregnant or trying to become pregnant, has daily access to a smartphone, currently living in the United States or a U.S. territory, and speaks either English or Spanish. Most of the sample (at least 70%) will be women who identify as Black and/or Latina. The evaluation team plans to enroll up to 1,300 participants over a one-year enrollment period using social media, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Users access Pulse autonomously, on their own terms, and in their own time and place. The app consists of 6 sections and includes 3 hours of unique content. It does not require the user to follow a specific sequence of content viewed; however, all users will receive a monetary incentive after registering with the apps. Youth randomized to the intervention condition are given access to Pulse indefinitely and receive daily text messages related to sexual health for 6 weeks. Control participants are directed to a free general health/fitness web-based mobile application, also called Pulse, and receive text messages related to general health for 6 weeks. The control and treatment apps look and feel similar aesthetically but contain different content. Participants in both the intervention and comparison groups receive a baseline survey and a 6-week follow-up survey. Participants will also receive incentives once they complete the baseline and post-intervention survey. Both surveys are conducted online via an electronic survey platform. This study is being conducted as a Rigorous Evaluation of New or Innovative Approaches to Prevent Teen Pregnancy funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Adolescent Health.

Clinical correlation with the histological and radiological results using the SF36 questionnaire.
NCT03274323
Investigators hypothesize that the synergistic action of iStent in increasing aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork and use of prostaglandin analog such as travoprost or latanoprost to increase uveoscleral outflow will achieve good Intra-ocular Pressure (IOP) control with minimal complications in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) patients with suboptimal IOP on 2 or more medications compared to mitomycin C (MMC) augmented trabeculectomy.
NCT03402633
The incidence of leucotrichia has been reported to range from 9 to 48.4% of all vitiligo patients.Leucotrichia is more often observed in segmental vitiligo with a very high percentage. However, further studies considering the prevalence of leucotrichia in different types of vitiligo need to be conducted.
NCT02978547
This is a single arm, non-randomized phase II study of neoadjuvant metformin in resectable PDAC. Twenty patients will be enrolled and treated with metformin 500 mg BD for a minimum of 7 days, until 2 days prior to surgery. Patients will undergo laboratory investigations at baseline, prior to surgery and 4-10 weeks after surgery. Patients eligible for and consented to the optional MRI substudy will undergo diffusion-weighted MRI 1 to 14 days before surgery. At surgery, resected tumour and normal tissue will be collected and banked. FFPE specimens will be used for sectioning, histological analysis and IHC for Ki67 (cell proliferation marker), pAMPK, ACC targets, p53 and mTOR targets, apoptotic markers (Bax, Bcl-2, caspases 3, 8 and 9). Fresh frozen tumour and matched normal tissue samples will be used for western blot analysis of insulin and IGF receptors, total and activated ERK and Akt, and RNAseq analysis. Pre-metformin biopsy samples will be retrieved for molecular analysis. Fasting blood samples at baseline and before surgery will be analyzed for glucose and insulin levels. Plasma and whole blood will also be processed and banked for circulating tumour DNA analysis. Urine samples will be sent for metabolomic profiling.
NCT00845182
Pioglitazone, a drug used in treatment of type 2 diabetes has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle, liver, and fat cells. Despite the beneficial effects of pioglitazone to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce cardiovascular disease in high risk type 2 diabetic patients, weight gain has been a limiting factor. Exenatide, another agent used for treatment of T2DM, improves glycemic control and promotes moderate weight loss. In this proposal we will examine the effect of combination therapy with pioglitazone plus exenatide on body weight, fat topography, beta cell function, glycemic control, and plasma lipid levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to treatment with each drug separately. Assessment of beta cell function will be performed by measuring the maximal insulin secretory capacity using a maximal hyperglycemic stimulus combined with an intravenous arginine stimulus.
NCT00370305
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the insulin sensitizing effects of rosiglitazone were accompanied by changes in 11ß-HSD1 expression and activity in different tissues. Furthermore the metabolic and hormonal effects of PPAR gamma stimulation by rosiglitazone will be analysed in several tissues.
NCT00323284
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iStent trabecular micro-bypass stent in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and co-existing cataract.
NCT03396380
The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in overweight infertile women with PCOs undergoing induction of ovulation.
NCT03395535
This is a randomized study with two treatment arms: 'initial Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) followed by conventional medical therapy as required' ('Laser-1st') and 'medical therapy without laser ('Medicine-1st'). It compares quality of life in the two arms at three years, while also examining the incremental cost and cost-effectiveness of Laser-1st versus Medicine-1st.
NCT03226665
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED) and represents 15% of hospital admissions for acute abdominal complaints. Plain radiography, although traditionally recommended as the initial diagnostic imaging modality of choice, has a sensitivity of only 59% to 77%. When clinical and radiographic assessment is indeterminate, computed tomography (CT) becomes the test of choice due to its superior resolution and increased ability to identify both obstruction and its aetiology Aim: this is a prospective study in a sample of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain, vomiting, or other symptoms suggestive of a SBO (history of previous surgeries, constipation, abnormal bowel sounds, and abdominal distention). Patients will be evaluated with US prior to x-ray and CT, with possible diagnostic confirms by endoscopy or surgery.
NCT03394586
TNF inhibitors have improved treatment options for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and three TNF inhibitors, infliximab, adalimumab and golimumab are available for treatment of ulcerative colitis in Switzerland. However, these drugs have been tested under ideal conditions in randomized controlled trials. Real-world data are needed to complement this information. It is the aim of our study to test, whether patients with ulcerative colitis can be effectively treated with golimumab in a real world setting in Switzerland. The investigators will use data from the Swiss IBD cohort study (SIBDC) in Switzerland. They will identify all SIBDC patients with UC treated with Golimumab and perform a retrospective chart review. The investigators will acquire patient reported outcomes and objective measures for inflammation at baseline, at 6-10 weeks and at 6 and 12 months after golimumab treatment. Primary endpoint will be clinical response (i.e. meaningful improvement) at 6-10 weeks. Secondary endpoints will be clinical response at 6 and 12 months and clinical remission (i.e. free of symptoms of disease).
NCT02505594
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder with major cardiovascular sequelae. A recent study confirmed that OSA is associated with impaired exercise capacity and increasing OSA severity predicts worsening exercise capacity, which is a marker of potential increased cardiovascular risk. However, potential mechanisms of decreased exercise capacity caused by OSA remain unclear. Several pathophysiologic mechanisms of OSA have been proposed and investigators hypothesize that endothelial dysfunction leading to exercise-induced right ventricular dysfunction and associated pulmonary hypertension is the potential mechanism for impaired exercise capacity in OSA.
NCT02306473
This is a clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that measuring the absorption and excretion of inhaled mannitol will provide a clinically useful marker of airway epithelial permeability in asthma.
NCT03387345
The purpose of this research was to investigate 5 different formulations of whole grain barley and refined white rice against a control of white bread on post-prandial glycemic response, as well as self-reported hunger/satiety in a randomized cross-over trial.
NCT02510924
Airtraq sp has been proven effective for intubating patients presenting with difficult airway. The Airtraq sp allows visualisation of the tracheal inlet only for the intubator. By adding a smartphone with a dedicated app (Airtraq Mobile) to the Airtraq sp, the visualisation of the tracheal inlet is possible for all the airway providers. The investigators aim to demonstrate that the addition of the Airtraq Mobile app improves success rate of intubation (primary endpoint), as well as confort of the airway provider, shortens time for intubation and reduces injury to the patients.
