Active clinical trials for "Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions"

Proteinuria is an expression of diabetic nephropaty in type 1 and type 2 patients. Hypertenshion treatment and decreasing urine protein excretion, slow down renal deterioration. Treating diabetic ,hypertensive patients with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)is common practice. The aim of our work is to examine 1.The prevalence of ACE and ARB treatment in diabetic patients with or without hypertension.2. Adverse drug reactions of ACEi and ARBs alone or in combination.

The primary objective is to evaluate the improvement of antidepressant monotherapy on depressive and anxiety symptom in Chinese patients who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for the comorbidity of major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

Capecitabine is one of the most active agents in the treatment of many kinds of solid tumors. However, variability in toxicity and response remains a major problem for patients receiving capecitabine. It is general that there are many factors for individual differences of drugs in clinical application, of which genetic factors accounted for more than 20%. Toxicities of capecitabine, such as diarrhea, hand-foot syndrome or anemia, were evaluated for possible relationship with pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in several pharmacogenomics studies. Due to the levels of evidence of those studies are low and lack of sufficient research data of Chinese, it has the important significance in studying individual differences of capecitabine in toxicities, through the pharmacogenomics research. The aim of this study is to evaluating the association genetic polymorphisms with capecitabine-based chemotherapy toxicities in chinese solid tumor patients. By detecting the gene polymorphism, investigators intend to study the pharmacokinetic/pharmacogenomics (PK-PG) correlation of capecitabine and provide scientific basis for precise medication guide for people to use capecitabine.

This registry aims to monitor the safety of Xueshuantong Injection and to identify the potential risk factors for the adverse drug reactions.

This is a monocentric prospective pre and post-intervention study, aiming at analyzing the efficacy of the Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) plus Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) as compared to paper order entry in reducing medication erros (MEs) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

Adverse drug events (ADEs) after hospital discharge are common. The purpose of this research study is see if we can design an electronic tool given to your primary care provider (PCP) that will reduce adverse drug events, hospital readmissions, and emergency department visits after you are discharged from the hospital.

The main risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is cirrhosis of any etiology, with an annual incidence risk between 1-6%; currently the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis and the 2nd cause of death by cancer worldwide. Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is the first single cause associated to cirrhosis and HCC in the Western world. With the advent of new direct antiviral agents (DAA) of chronic HCV infection, virological cure generally exceeds 90% of the cases. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of HCC is lower in patients with virologic cure after treatment with pegINF schemes. However, recently published data, open up more controversy regarding the incidence of HCC after virologic cure with DAA. An increasing incidence of HCC after virologic cure in patients treated with DAA has been observed, opening a paradox yet unexplained. This project proposes to answer the following clinical research question: in patients with HCV cirrhosis treated with DAA, is there a change in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma? To answer this question a prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients with Child Pugh A-B cirrhosis will be held at 3 years minimum follow-up. A minimum of 210 patients will be included with clinical or histological or non-invasive diagnosis of cirrhosis Child Pugh A or B, with HCV treated with DAA and without hepatocellular carcinoma at the time of enrollment. From this cohort, patients who develop HCC during follow-up will be identified. Routine screening will be done through ultrasound every 6 months in all subjects enrolled and the diagnosis of HCC will be according to recommendations of European and American guidelines.

Voriconazole is a drug used to treat invasive fungal infections. The amount of voriconazole in a person's blood helps to determine how effectively it treats an infection, and how safe it is. Patients respond differently when receiving the same dose - some clearly benefit, other patients experience side effects, and others see limited improvement in their infection. Voriconazole is broken down in the liver mainly by an enzyme called CYP2C19, before being excreted from the body. The activity of CY2C19 differs between people because of variation in the DNA that encodes the body's instructions to make CYP2C19. If CYP2C19 activity is very high, voriconazole blood levels may remain below the target range when a patient receives a standard dose of voriconazole, which may be insufficient to treat their infection. Besides, children tend to have faster voriconazole metabolism regardless of the genetic makeup, mainly because of higher liver mass/body proportion. That's why, younger patients needs higher doses and it is harder for them to reach target range. Having a high CYP2C19 activity and being young combined may cause to consider choosing an alternative drug. By contrast, decreased CYP2C19 activity due to genetic variation may result in excessively high voriconazole blood levels, predisposing to serious side effects. Therefore, knowing a patient's CYP2C19 genetic makeup is very important for predicting their response to voriconazole. Thus, we aim to determine the influence of genetic variation in CYP2C19 on the frequency and severity of side effects related to voriconazole, and on the effectiveness of voriconazole for treating serious fungal infections. The findings from this study will contribute to determining the optimal dose of voriconazole that patients with different genetic variants in CYP2C19 should be started on, and will take us one step closer to both understanding the genetic structure of CYP2C19 in the Turkish population, and to 'personalised medicine'.

Investigate the application of ulinastatin(UTI) in real practice clinic.(eg:population character, usage and dosage, course of treatment,etc ) Analysis the incidence of adverse drug reactions /adverse events of ulinastatin, collect the main clinical manifestations, treatment, outcome, influence factors; provide evidence for improving the recommended medication plan of ulinastatin. Evaluate the safety of ulinastatin , obtain scientific conclusion , and provide evidence for appropriate medication to administration department of health authority.

The PREACT Registry aims to see whether data from Pharmacogenomic Testing (PGx) can help healthcare providers manage patient medication regimens and assess if the testing has an effect on reducing medication side effects, hospitalizations and emergency department visits. The way an individual processes a drug is in part determined by their genes, and there is known to be genetic variation between humans in the way drugs are metabolized. The study of the way genes affect a person's response to drugs is known as "Pharmacogenomics."
