Active clinical trials for "Metabolic Syndrome"

This is a controlled, randomized, multi-center prospective study of vardenafil to determine efficacy on Erectile Dysfunction (ED), tolerability and safety in men with ED and Metabolic Syndrome. This study will explore the rate of patients who do need to switch to the highest dosage based upon the expectation that most men can stay on vardenafil 10 mg PRN (pro re nata)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the blood pressure lowering effect and safety of aliskiren in combination with Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) compared to aliskiren monotherapy when given to metabolic syndrome patients with stage 2 systolic hypertension (mean sitting systolic blood pressure [msSBP] ≥ 160 mm Hg and < 200 mm Hg).

The main purpose of this project is to investigate the effects of an exercise program on arterial function and cardiovascular diseases risk factors in obese and lean pre-pubertal children. This information will be used to underpin prevention strategies to reduce cardiovascular diseases in overweight youth.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the additional effect of sudden visceral fat reduction by omentectomy on Metabolic Syndrome, acute phase reactants and inflammatory mediators in patients with morbid obesity undergoing Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Primary purpose: Compare the changes in liver triglycerides concentration in the Aramchol versus the placebo arm following three month treatment. Secondary purpose: Comparing liver enzymes, markers of endothelial dysfunction, insulin resistance, SCD1 activity and cholesterol synthesis and lipid levels, between the Aramchol and the placebo arms.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of two different non-energy restricted controlled carbohydrate programs with the American Diabetes Associations' diet on glycosylated hemoglobin and other diabetes risk factors in obese adolescents with metabolic syndrome, a constellation of symptoms associated with the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Diamel administration in the treatment of Metabolic Syndrome. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 12 months.

This trial seeks to compare the effects of melatonin supplementation versus placebo in subjects with the metabolic syndrome.

We are testing the safety and efficacy of a 16-wk yoga lifestyle intervention on oral glucose tolerance, fasting lipid/lipoprotein levels, body composition, cardiovascular function, quality of life, CD4+ T-cell counts and viral load in HIV-infected men and women with components of The Metabolic Syndrome. We hypothesize that a yoga lifestyle intervention will improve metabolic, anthropometric, cardiovascular disease parameters, and quality of life domains without adversely affecting immune or virologic status in people living with HIV.

The aim of the study is to test whether neutralizing TNF-alpha with infliximab affects insulin resistance and phenotypical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome as fasting plasma insulin, total body fat, plasma lipid profile or vascular endothelial function in obese male subjects.
