Active clinical trials for "Atrophy"

The objectives of this trial are: to establish a safety profile for use of Hydroxyurea in children with Types II and III Spinal Muscular Atrophy; to identify reliable outcome measures for HU treatment in Types II and III SMA; and to detect the clinical efficacy of HU treatment in children with Types II and III SMA.

The primary objective of this proposal is to determine whether oral VPA is effective in treating SMA in adult patients.

Study Hypothesis: - Does a treatment with Minocycline of 2 x daily 2 x 50 mg effect the progression of clinical symptoms and diagnosis in patients with MSA? Background and Rationale: The Parkinson-Syndrome which is characterised by the clinical triad akinesis, rigor and passive tremor, is caused by Parkinson's disease (PD) in about 70 % of the cases (Oertel et al., 2003). However, beside the Parkinson's disease there are several, to some extent rare, so-called atypical Parkinson's syndromes. The two most frequent of these atypical Parkinson-Syndromes are the Multi-System-Atrophy (MSA) and the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Due to the often much varying courses and since they are not well known, these diseases are frequently diagnosed late or not diagnosed at all. Nevertheless, an early diagnosis is substantial for further treatment, since the prognosis and therapy of atypical Parkinson Syndromes differ essentially from those of PD. Whereas the neuronal death of cells in PD is restricted essentially to the Substantia nigra, a dominant destruction of neurons in brain stem, Cerebellum and Striatum additionally happens in cases of MSA and PSP. Up to now no adequate treatment strategies are at disposal. Initially the giving of L-Dopa can lead to an improvement for < 10% of the patients only. Minocycline is an antibiotic belonging to the group of the Tetracyclines. Recently, it could be demonstrated that Minocycline has a neuroprotective impact besides the anti-inflammatory impact.

This protocol is designed to study the effect and safety of 2 low-dose regimens of conjugated estrogen cream (PVC) given vaginally in postmenopausal women with atrophic vaginitis.

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the effects of androgen suppression with leuprolide and androgen replacement with testosterone enanthate on muscle strength in men with Kennedy's disease or other motor neuron disease.

The goal of this clinical trial is to: evaluate the efficacy of PRP injection and PRP injection mixed with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid compared to the control group receiving standard therapy with topical non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel in the treatment of cancer therapy-induced or worsened vulvovaginal atrophy. To evaluate the impact of vulvovaginal atrophy treatment on the sexual satisfaction of both partners. Patients will be divided randomly into 3 groups: Group 1: 15 female patients will receive vaginal PRP injections. Group 2: 15 female patients will receive vaginal PRP injections combined with non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Group 3: 15 female patients will receive topical non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel as a control group.

The current post-market clinical investigation has been designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CELLBOOSTER® Lift, a HA-based product marketed by SUISSELLE SA. For this purpose, healthy subjects with signs of skin aging with mild to moderate wrinkles, skin laxity, dry and dull skin on the face, received a 3-session treatment and were followed-up over a 4-month period after the initial injection. Several objective measurements of skin quality were performed with different parameters: skin elasticity, density, dryness, microcirculation, wrinkles, color/homogeneity. Clinical improvement was also evaluated, as well as subject and investigator satisfactions. The safety of the injections was also followed with injection site reactions and adverse events collection.

DESIRIAL® PLUS is a CE-marketed hyaluronic acid (since 2011) whose registered indications are moderate hypotrophy, severe hypotrophy or atrophy of the vulvar Labia Majora by subcutaneous injections. The aim is to restore volume, rehydrate and add tone and tension to connective tissue areas by filling. In this study, 71 female subjects above or equal to 18 years old at inclusion, who have moderate hypotrophy or severe hypotrophy or atrophy of the vulvar Labia Majora (according to investigator's judgement), who have given her informed consent and meet all the eligibility criteria, will be enrolled. Subjects will come to a total of 6 visits over a period of 12 months. An optional screening visit may be done before injection (additional visit). Proportion of patients having an improved perception of aesthetics (GAIS score after mirror self-examination) after baseline injection will be assessed. Global Aesthetic Improvement, Sexual function, subject's satisfaction, subject's symptoms, pain at injection and safety will be also assessed.

The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of a lactic acid containing vaginal suppository with respect to the application in post-menopausal women with VVA.

The objective of the clinical investigation is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of WO 2707, a MoistCream Cremolum, with respect to the application in postmenopausal women with symptoms of vaginal dryness.
