Active clinical trials for "Atrophy"

This is an investigator initiated observational study with the aim to record several aspects of function, care and adverse events in a large cohort of SMA patients followed longitudinally by using a structured academic disease registry.

Atrophic acne scars are flat, indented or with an inverted center scars that develop at the endpoint of the normal healing process for acne. Acne scarring that remains after acne resolves has a significant impact on health related quality of life, including reduced self-esteem and embarrassment/self consciousness. ELAPR002f provides an immediate space-occupying effect for filling in the scar tissue. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe and effective ELAPR002f injectable gel is on adult participants with atrophic acne scars. ELAPR002f Injectable Gel is an investigational device being developed for the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to the saline control group. Around 156 adult participants with moderate to severe atrophic acne scarring on both cheeks will be enrolled in the study in approximately 12 sites in Germany and Canada. Participants will receive 3 treatments over 2 months of intradermal injections of either ELAPR002f injectable gel or saline control and will be followed for up to an additional 12 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This clinical study wants to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a medical device combining "Polynucleotide Highly Purified Technology" (PN-HPT™) and hyaluronic acid (Newest-Mastelli S.r.l) for treating moderate-to-severe atrophic post-acne scars.

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risdiplam administered as an early intervention in pediatric participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and 2 SMN2 copies who have previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec. Participants are children < 2 years of age genetically diagnosed with SMA.

Grading endoscopic atrophy according to the Kimura-Takemoto classification can assess the risk of gastric neoplasia development. However, the false negative rate of chronic atrophic gastritis is high due to the varying diagnostic standardization and diagnostic experience and levels of endoscopists. Therefore, this study aims to develop an AI model to identify the Kimura-Takemoto classification.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurogenetic disorder caused by a loss or mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) on chromosome 5q13, which leads to reduced SMN protein levels and a selective dysfunction of motor neurons. SMA is an autosomal recessive, early childhood disease with an incidence of 1:10,000 live births. SMA is the leading cause of infant mortality due to genetic diseases. Until recently, the mainstay of treatment for these patients was supportive medical care. However, advances in medical treatment focusing on gene replacement, gene enhancement, motor neuron protection and muscle enhancement is likely to change the management and prognosis of these patients in the future. The purpose of this registry is to assess the long term outcomes of patients with SMA in the context of advances in treatment options.

The natural history of SMA patients has changed, due to the improvements in treatment and technological advances. The systematic collection of data from routine clinical practice in multiple Latin American countries, harmonized to an internationally aligned core data set, is important to advancing the understanding the natural history of disease in the region and the influence of different drug treatments on patient outcomes. These data are critical to improving the care of these patients. So far, clinical trials regarding therapeutic approaches for SMA patients only cover a subgroup of the broad spectrum of severity of SMA. Thus, there is a strong need to monitor the full range of treated and untreated SMA patients in a real-world context.The aim of this study is to set up a regional healthcare provider (HCP) entered registry. The planned SMA registry will provide an online platform to collect longitudinal data on SMA patients across Latin America to achieve a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of SMA patients, the natural history of the disease, the use of DMTs and patients' outcomes, as well as to support further research projects and regional data generation.

This is a longitudinal, multiple-center, observational study of patients genetically confirmed chromosome 5q SMA to monitor the efficacy, safety, tolerability of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) for up to 24 months.

This is an observational cohort study of clinical efficacy study.The purpose of this topic is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Modified Liujunzi Decoction based on syndrome differentiation in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG) after HP eradication.Taking Modified Liujunzi Decoction as the observation group and Weifuchun routine treatment as the control group, so as to provide evidence for the treatment of CAG and reduce the risk of gastric cancer. A total of 284 patients were included. The curative efficacy, symptom score and adverse events will be recorded and analyzed.

Sexual dysfunction is very common in the postpartum period and is more common in people who breastfeed or pump. This research study was designed to help determine whether postpartum patients who use vaginal estrogen cream while breastfeeding have improved sexual function compared to postpartum patients who do not.
