Active clinical trials for "Atrophy"

This study evaluates the use of short dental implants to support mandibular overdenture together with the use of laser therapy for treatment of patients with atrophic ridges. All participants will receive laser therapy; half of participants will receive two short implants and the other half will receive four short implants.

Nine patients selected for this study with mandibular free end saddle and atrophied posterior ridge according to treatment options all patients will be divided randomly into 3 groups: Group A: included three participants who will receive implant retained partial overdentures Group B: included three participants who will receive short implants supported fixed prosthesis Group C: included three participants who will receive long implant supported fixed prosthesis after ridge augmentation. For Group A: Implant retained partial overdenture The implants will be inserted in first premolar areas and partial overdenture will be connected with implant by locator attachment. For Group B: Short implant supported fixed prosthesis The implants will be inserted in first premolar, second premolar, and first molar areas without any ridge augmentation and the implant will be connected by fixed prosthesis For group C: Long implant supported fixed prosthesis after ridge augmentation The implants will be inserted in first premolar, second premolar, and first molar areas with ridge augmentation by using Khoury technique17 and the implants will be connected by fixed prosthesis Clinical evaluation will be made in terms of: Gingival Index (GI) Plaque Index (PI) Pocket Depth (PD) Width of Keratinized Mucosa (KM) Implant Stability (ISQ). Radiographic evaluation will include mandibular residual ridge resorption using the proportional area measurements. evaluation periods will be performed at time of insertion T(0), 6 months after insertion T(6), 12 months after insertion T(6)

During menopause, there is a decrease in a hormone estrogen, which leads to aging of the vagina. Vaginal aging includes changes in the type and amount of healthy bacteria in the vagina, inflammation and a breakdown of natural barriers that keep the vagina healthy and protected from infections. Some menopausal women develop a condition called vaginal atrophy, which causes vaginal dryness, irritation, pain with sex, and itching. We are testing whether an estradiol tablet placed inside the vagina will lead to fewer changes in the types of bacteria present in the vagina, improve vaginal atrophy symptoms and ultimately keep the vagina healthier for a longer. This is important for women with HIV as they are living longer, healthier, sexually active lives due to successful treatment with antiretrovirals.

Evaluate the effect of IONIS-FB-LRx on the rate of change of the area of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) measured by fundus autofluorescence (FAF).

This study is being conducted in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to determine if intravitreal (IVT) injections of ANX007 reduce GA lesion growth rate. The results will be used to guide further development of ANX007 in participants with geographic atrophy. The total duration of participation is expected to be approximately 19 months.

To find out the effect of Lu AF82422 on disease progression in participants with multiple system atrophy.

This study is a phase III which includes two treatment phases. The phase 1 study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, parallel group that provide primary efficacy and safety data. The Phase 2 study is a single-arm, open-label conducted in a subset of subjects who completed the phase 1 study to provid additional long-term safety and efficacy.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes following treatment with Nusinersen in participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability; and clinical outcomes following treatment with Nusinersen in participants with SMA who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec.

The ONYX study is an Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension study that will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Apitegromab in Patients with Type 2 and Type 3 SMA who have completed TOPAZ or SAPPHIRE.

This is a multi-center, exploratory, non-comparative, and open-label study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PK/PD relationship of risdiplam in adults, children and infants with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) previously enrolled in Study BP29420 (Moonfish) with the splicing modifier RO6885247 or previously treated with nusinersen, olesoxime or AVXS-101.
