Active clinical trials for "Acute Disease"

This study is an open, prospective, single-center, single-arm study expanded based on the study of NCT03412409.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the transplantation efficacy of the RIC conditioning regimen in elderly patients receiving the transplantation of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells. Elderly patients are defined as ≥55 years of age; High comorbidity is defined as an HCT-CI score ≥3.Primary endpoint is 1-year LFS. Secondary endpoints are 1-year OS and 1-year TRM, Other indicators to be assessed in this study include acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, CMV activation, EBV activation, engraftment.

This study evaluates the safety of RejuvenAir Cryospray therapy to treat symptomatic chronic bronchitis patients with airflow restrictions.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Parallel, Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HL301 versus Placebo in acute bronchitis patients. Endpoint: BSS, The improvement and improvement rate of the tester for the treatment response, The satisfaction of the subject, Total usage of Acetaminophen

Clinical trial phase I and II, single-center, historical control, to evaluate the effectiveness of donor IL-15 stimulated NK cells post transplant infusion, in acute leukemia patients with poor prognosis and haploidentical unmanipulated transplant

Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is a widespread surgical procedure. Patients may develop considerable postoperative pain and dyspepsia resulting in prolong in-hospital stay. Almost 10% of patients develop postoperative complications. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has proven its effectiveness in elective surgery and can theoretically improve outcomes of LA. To date there is no ERAS program for LA. The aim of the study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of a modified ERAS protocol in LA.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the safety of ex vivo expanded haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells for patients with leukemia.

This phase II trial studies how well clofarabine, idarubicin, cytarabine, vincristine sulfate, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia that is newly diagnosed or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, idarubicin, cytarabine, vincristine sulfate, and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

This study aims to observe the therapeutic effect of different treatment course with inhaled corticosteroids in eosinophilic bronchitis patients. The investigators hypothesize: Cough score will be improved after treatment with longer treatment course with inhaled corticosteroids in EB patients. The sputum eosinophil percentage will be decreased and recovered to normal level (Eos%<2.5%) with longer treatment course with inhaled corticosteroids in EB patients. The rate of recurrence after treatment will be decrease with longer treatment course with inhaled corticosteroids in EB patients

Several recent studies have examined the feasibility and benefits of nonoperative treatment of perforated appendicitis in children. One such study showed a trend toward longer operative times for patients randomized to immediate appendectomy, but no overall advantage. In another larger study, the costs of delayed appendectomy for perforated appendicitis were higher - in part related to readmissions in the interval (6-8 weeks). Nevertheless, these and other studies have demonstrated the safety of delaying appendectomy for perforated appendicitis. Emergency appendectomy is a well-established approach, and postoperative recovery in children is fast. Nevertheless, from the onset of symptoms through the hospital stay and the postoperative recovery, appendicitis causes a disruption of a family's normal routine (absence from school and work) of up to 1-2 weeks. Because this is an unplanned operation, patients have to wait until an operating room becomes available, or elective operations have to be placed on hold to accommodate the emergency operation. Each year, more than 250 children undergo an appendectomy at HCH. This represents 250 episodes of emergency surgery, or about one emergency add-on operation per working day. If an initial trial of antibiotics is safe for the treatment of appendicitis, converting an emergency operation into an elective, scheduled outpatient procedure may reduce stress and disruption of routine for patients and their families - and may allow better operating room planning for health care professionals and hospitals. The investigators hypothesize that initial antibiotic treatment of acute (non-perforated) appendicitis, followed by scheduled outpatient appendectomy, reduces the overall cost of treating the disease and results in greater patient and family satisfaction. This pilot study aims to establish the safety and feasibility of treating acute appendicitis with intravenous antibiotics, followed by outpatient oral antibiotics. Patients and their families will be offered the possibility of initial nonoperative treatment and subsequent outpatient elective appendectomy in a nonrandomized, single arm study.

Some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) have large number of specific white blood cells called eosinophils in their airways. These cells are also responsible for causing episodes of worsened respiratory symptoms (exacerbations) and often cause irreversible damage to the airways . This subset of COPD patients often require oral steroids to bring down the number of eosinophils in their airways. Steroids have harmful effects on several of our body systems like bones, blood pressure, blood glucose control and can cause recurrent infections. Mepolizumab is a drug that specifically targets eosinophils reducing the number in the airway. This drug has been shown to be effective in decreasing exacerbation rates and time to exacerbation in asthma patients with eosinophils in their airways. Targeting eosinophils in COPD patients has been shown to reduce severe exacerbations. Hence it is likely that COPD patients with eosinophils in their airways will benefit similarly and have reduced rates and time to exacerbation. Study Hypothesis:Does mepolizumab decrease sputum eosinophils in patients with fixed airflow obstruction (COPD) and eosinophilic bronchitis?
