Active clinical trials for "Cysts"

Multicenter trial on the effect of the GnRH analogue leuprorelin on the growth of total liver volume in pre-menopausal women with very severe polycystic liver disease who, despite available therapy, experience growth and are heading for liver transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapeutic pancreatic cyst ablation using ethanol lavage followed by the infusion of a dual-agent chemotherapeutic cocktail (paclitaxel + gemcitabine) compared with alcohol-free saline lavage followed by infusion of the same dual-agent chemotherapeutic cocktail (paclitaxel + gemcitabine) for the ablation of pancreatic cystic neoplasms using endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle infusion (EUS-FNI) for agent delivery.

The purpose of the trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of 2 treatment regimens of CAM2029 (given weekly or every 2 weeks) to placebo in participants with symptomatic PLD, either isolated as in autosomal dominant PLD (ADPLD) or associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). In the Treatment Period of the trial, participants will be allocated at random to 1 of the 3 treatment arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. After completing the Treatment Period (53 weeks) participants may proceed to a 24-week open-label extension part of the trial and then only receive the same CAM2029 treatment. The active ingredient in CAM2029, octreotide, is administered as a subcutaneous depot using Camurus' FluidCrystal® technology.

Patients with large hepatic cysts (> 5cm) may develop symptoms. These can be captured with the polycystic liver disease questionnaire (PLD-Q). Treatment of large hepatic cysts consists of aspiration sclerotherapy or laparoscopic fenestration. The safety and efficacy of both procedures has been explored in two recent systematic reviews yet no evident conclusion regarding superiority of either procedure could be drawn. The main objective of the ATLAS trial is to compare laparoscopic fenestration and aspiration sclerotherapy in patients with large symptomatic hepatic cysts on patient-reported outcomes.

Cyst is the main cause for longstanding swelling in the mandible or the maxilla, its enlargement usually results in resorption and weakening of bone. Thus the treatment of the cysts is essential to preserve the bone and the adjacent vital structures. Healing of the bone defect and its surrounding soft tissues is a critical issue that needs concerns. Although the Platelet rich fibrin has promising effects in wound healing, it can resorb during 10-14 days. Thus a new autologous platelet concentrate is introduced by Kawasi et al that can remain stable for 4-6 months called albumin PRF.

Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are cysts filled with fluid that occur most frequently in the long bones (arms or legs) of children. There are many ways to treat SBCs but it is unclear if one is better than another. The purpose of this research trial is to compare the effectiveness of two common treatments that are used by surgeons today.

The aim of this prospective case series is to present clinical results with cystostomy, decompression and final enucleation of odontogenic cysts using a decompression device fabricated with a full digital workflow and delivered on the day of cystostomy. The secondary purpose of our study is to present the volumetric changes of the odontogenic cysts treated by decompression.

A single-center study to determine the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs). Patients will be recruited sequentially to undergo RFA followed by standard surveillance. The study will recruit patients with pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) who are at high risk for surgical resection. Patients enrolled in the study will be followed up for 3-years after EUS-guided RFA.

To learn if Hyperpolarized C-Pyruvate Magnetic Resonance (HP-MR) Spectroscopic Imaging can help doctors detect low-risk (benign) and high-risk (malignant) cysts.

Removing in situ and metastasis lesions completely during gynecological surgery is central to reduce the recurrence and death, and the identification of lesions in traditional gynecological surgery often depends on the experience of surgeons. The identification of nerves is often needed in gynecological surgery, such as the obturator nerves in pelvic lymphadenectomy, and the pelvic autonomic nerves in nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Nerve identification also relies heavily on the experience of surgeons. This project aims to realize the identification of lesions and nerves under the navigation of indocyanine green fluorescent imaging, and evaluate the accuracy of fluorescent imaging of lesions and the effectiveness of nerves identification by near-infrared imaging. This project may reduce the recurrence or death caused by residual lesions and postoperative dysfunction caused by nerves injury, thus, improve the survival rate and quality of life for patients with gynecological diseases.
