Active clinical trials for "Congenital Abnormalities"

ExoDent specifically aims to discover new genes and new mutations causing isolated amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) and other dentin anomalies. The key point for clinicians is to distinguish between non syndromic and syndromic disorders in order to improve patients guidance and counseling. To do so, two targeted NGS panel have been designed, one searching for isolated AI and the other for DI. After 18 months, some families remain without any positive results. ExoDent project proposes those negative patients a Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) approach to deeper explore their genetic background.

Capillary Malformations (CM) affect a significant proportion of otherwise healthy children and may lead to psychological discomfort if left untreated. A significant proportion of untreated lesions undergo soft tissue thickening and darker discoloration later in life due to progressive ectasia of the affected vessels. While laser treatment is available, its use may be limited due to need for repeated sedation/general anesthetic use, partial response and cost. The investigators propose to conduct an open-label, prospective, cohort study using Onreltea ( Brimonidine) gel for treatment of facial capillary malformations in children. The study medication will be applied topically on affected area of the skin daily for 12 weeks. Follow up visits will occur at at Week 1,4,8,12, and 16 to assess the efficacy and safety of the proposed treatment. The study second aim is to explore the feasibility of conducting a multicenter placebo controlled study.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of statins on chronic inflammation, coronary artery abnormalities and clinical cardiac events in long-term KD children complicated with severe coronary artery abnormalities, and the feasibility and safety of statins in treatment of KD children.

This prospective registry was designed as an observational study to ascertain how commercially available NanoBone products are being used by surgeons performing foot and ankle surgery which involves bone grafting, as well as determining relevant patient outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of nesiritide on urine output and hemodynamics following cardiopulmonary bypass in infants. Safety and pharmacokinetic data will also be obtained.

Using data from a population-based medicine use cohort in Xiamen, China, this retrospective cohort study will investigate whether herbal medicines used to prevent miscarriage are associated with increased risk of birth defects.

VT30-101 is a 2-part first-in-human trial of topically administered VT30 to subjects with cutaneous venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, or mixed venolymphatic malformations associated with PIK3CA or TEK mutations. Part 1 is a 4-week treatment, open-label, 4-sequence, escalating repeat-application cohort study, with intra-subject and inter-cohort dose escalation. Part 2 is a 12-week treatment, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, safety and exploratory efficacy study. Part 2 will be initiated only after the successful completion of Part 1 with results that demonstrate the general safety and tolerability of topically applied VT30. Up to 12 subjects who complete Part 1 may be enrolled into Part 2 of the study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VT30. The study will also determine the dose and regimen of VT30 to be carried into Part 2 of the protocol. Other aims include documenting plasma drug levels of VT30 and VT10 and, on an exploratory basis, examining pharmacologic target engagement and change in potential efficacy readouts.

Prospective, non-randomized, multicenter post-approval study to collect long term clinical and echographic data on Mitroflow DL patients.

This study will confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN XT Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System in patients with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduit with a clinical indication for intervention in a post-market setting.

Cardiopulmonary bypass and arrest of the heart during cardiac surgery are necessary to allow the surgeon to perform heart operations. However, these processes can cause injury to the heart which may worsen post-operative outcomes. In fact, the effects of these injuries may continue after surgery, and lead to a long-term decrease in heart function. Neonates and young infants are at particular risk for this occurrence. While much research has been done in adults looking for medicines that might protect the heart during surgery, few studies have been conducted in neonates and young infants. The investigators are testing Dexrazoxane, which has proven to be cardio-protective in pediatric cancer patients, in the hope that it may lessen cardiac injury during and after congenital heart surgery, and thereby improve outcomes in the neonatal and young infant population. In order to accomplish this, the investigators must first determine how Dexrazoxane can be safely administered to young children with congenital heart disease. Therefore, the investigators are performing a pilot study of 12 children to assess: how Dexrazoxane at 3 different doses is metabolized in the body of a child age 0-6 months during and after congenital heart surgery, and the safety of Dexrazoxane use in the neonatal and young infant population undergoing cardiac surgery.
