Active clinical trials for "Endocrine System Diseases"

To compare and evaluate the effects of LDL-C and Triglyceride (TG) control on the first dose Ezetimibe/Statin (Rosuvastatin 5 mg/Ezetimibe 10 mg) combination therapy compared to the average dose Statin (Rosuvastatin 10 mg) monotherapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes with hypertriglyceridemia (TG > 200 mg/dL).

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a common condition affecting 3-10% of the general population, especially in women older than 50 years old. It is controversial whether SCH can lead to increased risks of cardiovascular (CV) disease and whether treatment with L-thyroxine reverses these risks. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of L-thyroxine treatment in SCH on lipid profile, atherosclerosis, endothelial function, serum inflammatory factors and adipocytokines.

This study will evaluate healthy normal volunteers and patients with a variety of endocrine disorders to 1) learn more about conditions that affect the endocrine glands (glands that secrete hormones) and 2) train physicians in endocrinology. Patients with endocrine-related conditions and healthy volunteers of all ages may be eligible for this study. All participants will have a physical examination medical and history. They may be required to provide blood, saliva or urine samples and undergo ultrasound (using sound waves) or magnetic resonance (using a magnetic field) imaging to visualize internal body structures. Some healthy adult volunteers will have hormone-stimulating tests to assess endocrine function. These tests measure blood hormone levels before and after injection of a synthetic form of a hormone. A device called a heparin lock, through which the hormone is injected and the blood samples are collected, is placed in a vein in the arm or hand. Blood samples are drawn before the hormone is injected and at various intervals after the injection to measure levels of the hormone. These tests, which last from 1 to 3 hours, may include the following: CRH stimulation test corticotropin-releasing hormone is given to test pituitary and adrenal gland function ACTH stimulation test adrenocorticotrophic hormone is given to test adrenal gland function LHRH stimulation test luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone is given to test pituitary gland function TRH stimulation test thyroid-releasing hormone is given to test pituitary and thyroid gland function GHRH stimulation test growth hormone releasing hormone is given to measure growth hormone levels. An oral glucose tolerance test, which is similar to the stimulation tests, may also be done to measure blood glucose (sugar) and insulin levels after drinking a sugary liquid. Healthy volunteers and patients with a hereditary endocrine disorder and their family members may also be asked to provide a blood sample for genetic studies of inherited endocrine disorders. Patients with endocrine-related disorders may be offered medical or surgical treatment for their disorder. AcAccess http://turners.nichd.nih.gov/ for additional study publications.

Accumulation of iron in patients with beta thalassemia major causes free radical formation which leads to damage of biological membranes. Sperm DNA damage may result from these generated antioxidants. We aimed at investigating the current DNA damage in the sperms of adult patients with beta thalassemia major and the effect generated by giving antioxidant treatment for 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) therapy on sexual hormone deficiency in the middle-aged patients

Multi-center, open-label, single arm study to Evaluate the preference regarding convenience of medication, efficacy and safety of Sugamet XR tab. 5/1000mg in patients with Type 2 diabetes and renal diseases

This study is conducted in China only. The purpose is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of once weekly dosing of TransCon hGH, a long-acting growth hormone product, compare to once-daily dosing of human growth hormone (hGH) after 52 weeks of treatment in prepubertal children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Niraparib is an oral, potent and highly selective PARP1/2 inhibitor. It can be used as a single drug in HRD positive ovarian cancer patients for multi-line therapy. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor angiogenesis and is also recommended for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. Clinical studies showed that niraparib combined with bevacizumab could significantly prolong progression free survival of platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. We intend to conduct a single-arm, prospective, open-label, phase II study to observe the efficacy and safety of niraparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of FIGO III/IV platinum refractory/resistant ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer. The results are expected to provide more effective and precise treatment for platinum resistant recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer patients.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin Injection (Jintrolong®) in the treatment of short stature due to endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad of population of children.

To Evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency, as well as to study the dosage of PEG Somatropin.
