Active clinical trials for "Chronic Disease"

The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of a pharmacist-staffed, protocol-based chronic disease management program compared to patients receiving usual care in achieving a target serum uric acid level in patients with recurrent gout.

This is the first clinical trial with NOX-H94. The purpose of this clinical trial is to identify a safe and efficacious treatment regimen for the clinical development of NOX-H94 in patients with anemia of chronic disease (inflammation).

Phase 2, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the clinical effects of oral administration of dexpramipexole for 6 months in subjects with chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps and eosinophilia.

The purpose of this study is to determine if oxymorphone ER is effective and safe in treating chronic pain in opioid-naive patients.

Is a xylitol nasal rinse better or worse than saline on patient satisfaction.

A comparison of 3 months-prednisolone administration with 6 months-prednisolone therapy in the treatment of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Three months-prednisolone administration may be as effective as 6 months-therapy.

The aim of this family practice based study is to determine the long-term treatment effects of two drugs that are presumed to modify the course and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), oral N-acetylcysteine and inhaled corticosteroids.

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of correction of anemia using erythropoietin on the progression of atherosclerosis and cardiac muscle thickening in patients with chronic kidney disease

Postoperative pain after major surgery is consecutive not only to the nociceptive inputs coming from the surgical lesion, but also to peripheral and central neuronal sensitization. This lead to postoperative hyperalgesia and allodynia that are enhanced by the per operative use of high opioid doses. Anti-NMDA drugs have been reported as able to reduce this sensitization process and then to decrease acute morphine tolerance during the postoperative period. Nefopam has been lately shown to combine in experimental trials analgesic and anti hyperalgesic effects. The aim of this study is to compare anti-hyperalgesic effects of nefopam given either before incision and continuously for the following 48hours or starting from the end of the surgery and given for 48hours to a control group that would receive placebo for 48hours. Postoperative analgesia will be based on morphine PCA. Pain scores, hyperalgesia, allodynia, postoperative morphine consumption, and development of chronic pain will be the main criteria that will be evaluated during this study

To determine the efficacy and safety of ONO-1078 in patients with chronic sinusitis in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study
