Active clinical trials for "Inflammation"

This is a multicenter clinical trial, phase III, non-inferiority, controlled by active medicine, open, randomized, enroll 538 children, 2 to 12 years old, with acute inflammation upper airway, characterized by nasal congestion and runny nose, lasting at least 24 hours and a maximum of 48 hours prior to inclusion. The subjects will be allocated in 2 parallel groups, and will receive the medicines of study, according of the randomization.

This is a Phase IV, single site, randomized, double masked, parallel control clinical trial of 60 subjects to investigate the variance of efficacy between Lotemax® and Zylet® for treatment of ocular surface inflammation due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Efficacy will be measured by in-vivo confocal microscopy, corneal fluorescein staining, grading of meibomian gland dysfunction and validated ocular symptom assessment questionnaire.

The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to evaluate the efficacy of roflumilast on airway inflammation and function in patients with allergen-induced asthma. Individuals with stable, mild to moderate allergic asthma, with a history of episodic wheeze and shortness of breath, were eligible for enrollment.

Subclinical inflammation is a common phenomenon in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). This is because various pro-inflammatory cytokines are promoted due to metabolic acidosis, volume overload, and / or non-sterile dialysate. As important antioxidants, vitamin C was prominently consumed by oxidative stress and inflammation. So patients receiving dialysis therapy usually had a low plasma vitamin C level. It was documented that inflammation was associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients on dialysis. But the relationship between plasma Vitamin C and each of inflammatory markers and prealbumin was lacking. Because vitamin C had anti-inflammation effect on behalf of its electron receiving ability, the investigators made a hypothesis that vitamin C supplementation can reduce inflammation status in patients on maintenance dialysis

Hypogonadism (HG) frequently complicates the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), whether testosterone replacement (TRT) is beneficial has not been clearly ascertained. This study was designed to address the effects of TRT on insulin resistance, body composition and pro-inflammatory status in naïve patients with MetS and HG.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of PTX vs placebo on serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP in patients on hemodialysis.

Combining fish oil supplementation and Montelukast [a commonly used cyst LT1 receptor antagonist to treat exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB)] will provide a greater antiinflammatory effect against developing EIB that either agent alone

Evaluation of the clinical safety and efficacy of loteprednol etabonate in an ophthalmic base, when compared to vehicle for the treatment of inflammation following cataract surgery.

Growing evidence over recent years supports a potential role for low grade chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study we will determine whether salsalate, a member of the commonly used Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) class, is effective in lowering sugars in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will determine whether salicylates represent a new pharmacological option for diabetes management. The study is conducted in two stages. Enrollment in the first stage is complete. The primary objective of the first stage was to select a dose of salsalate that is both well-tolerated and demonstrates a trend toward improvement in glycemic control. The primary objective of Stage 2 of the study is to evaluate the effects of salsalate on blood sugar control in diabetes; the tolerability of salsalate use in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D); and the effects of salsalate on measures of inflammation, the metabolic syndrome, and cardiac risk.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of VIA-2291 as compared to placebo on vascular inflammation following 24 weeks of dosing.
