Active clinical trials for "Granuloma"

When children with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) got BCG infection the treatment would be a tough task. The goal of the proposed research is to observe weather vitamin D supplementation can help the CGD children get through this challenge.

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) affects the immune system. People with CGD are more likely to get infections. Drugs can help control infections, but these treatments can cause side effects including kidney failure and deafness. Stem cell transplants can cure CGD, but these don t always work. Objective: To find out if a different drug treatment can improve the success rates of stem cell transplants in people with CGD. Eligibility: People aged 4-65 years with CGD. Design: Participants will undergo screening. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function and breathing. They will have imaging scans. They will have a bone marrow biopsy; a needle will be inserted into their hip to draw a sample of tissue from the bone. A tube called a catheter will be placed into a vein in the participant s chest. This catheter will remain in place for the transplant and recovery period. Blood for tests can be drawn from the catheter, and medications and the stem cells can be administered through it. Participants will be in the hospital for either 10 or 21 days to receive 3 or 4 drugs before the transplant. They will get 2 doses of total body radiation on the same day. Participants will receive donor stem cells through the catheter. They will remain in the hospital for 6 weeks afterward. Participants will visit the clinic 2 to 3 times per week for 3 months after discharge. Follow-up visits will continue for 5 years.

This is a randomized, prospective, double-blind, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate 3 distinct clinical approaches used during endodontic therapy: Group 1- Root canal treatment in single visit (RCT-SV); Group 2- Root canal treatment in two visits with intracanal dressing (RCT-TVWD); Group 3- Root canal treatment in two visits without intracanal dressing (RCT-TVWOD). A total of 210 adult patients ages 18 to 60 years, with at least one tooth diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis and periradicular lesion will be randomized and will undergo one of the types of clinical approaches during endodontic therapy. Patients' postoperative pain levels will also be recorded in periods of 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days. Subsequently, clinical findings and long-term follow-up evaluations, with periradicular repair will be performed by periapical radiograph and computed tomography (cone-beam) at 6th, 12th and 24th months.

Background: CGD causes infections and inflammation. The only cure currently is a bone marrow transplant. Most often a perfectly matched bone marrow donor is used. Researchers want to see if they can lower the risks of using a mismatched donor. Objectives: To see if it is safe to use a related bone marrow donor who is only a partial match to a person with CGD. To see how well drugs given to a person before and after transplant help the body accept the transplant. Eligibility: People ages 4-65 with CGD for whom stem cell transplant may be a cure and who do not have a perfectly matched donor, related or unrelated. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Participants will be admitted to the hospital about 2 weeks before the transplant. They will have blood, urine, breathing, and heart tests. They may have CT and/or MRI scans. They will have a needle inserted into their hipbone to remove marrow. They will have dental, neurologic, and psychologic tests. They will have a central catheter placed: A line will be placed into a vein in their upper chest. They will get drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation to prepare for the transplant. Participants will receive the donated cells through their catheter. The cells will be from one of their relatives. Participants will stay in the hospital about 6 weeks after the transplant. After they leave the hospital, participants will have to stay in the area with visits about 2 times a week for approximately 100 days post transplant. Then visits will be every 3 to 6 months for 2 years. Then visits will be once a year.

Gingival Pyogenic granuloma in the esthetic zone represents an esthetic problem. While surgical treatment may not give the premium esthetic demands, corticosteroid may acheive this balance.

Background: CGD is caused by a gene mutation. For people with CGD, their cells cannot kill germs well, so they can get frequent or life-threatening infections. Researchers want to see if a new procedure can help a person s cells kill germs for a short time. It uses messenger RNA (mRNA) to deliver correct instructions for the gene mutation to the cells. Objective: To test a procedure in which mRNA is added to a person s blood cells. Eligibility: Males aged 18-75 with CGD with a mutation in the gene that makes the protein gp91phox. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Swab to test for strep throat Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center hospital for at least 7 days. They will have apheresis. For this, a medicine is injected under their skin to prepare their white blood cells for collection. An IV line is placed into an arm vein. Blood goes through the IV line into a machine that divides whole blood into red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells. The white blood cells are removed, and the rest of the blood is returned to the participant through an IV line in their other arm. The next day, they will get their mRNA-corrected cells via IV. They will be monitored for 3 more days. After discharge, participants will keep a symptom diary. They will be contacted weekly for one month, and then once a month. They will have a follow-up visit 3 months after the infusion.

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) weakens the body's defense against germs. CGD can also damage the colon. It can cause inflammation (colitis) that disrupts the good bacteria. Placing good bacteria from donor stool into the intestine of a person with CGD (called fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) may help. Objective: To see if FMT can reduce inflammation in the colon. Eligibility: People aged 10-60 who have CGD and colitis, and the treatments they have tried are not helping or have side effects. Design: Participants will have a telehealth screening visit. They will have a medical record review and medical history. They will collect stool samples at home and mail them to NIH. Participants will stay at the NIH hospital for 3-5 days. Each day, they will have the following: Physical exam Medical history and medicine review Surveys about CGD and how it affects their life Blood, stool, and urine tests Participants will have a colonoscopy. They will be sedated. A long, flexible tube will be inserted into their rectum. The tube will deliver the FMT material to their colon. Small samples of intestinal tissue will be collected. Participants may have an optional MRI of the digestive tract. Participants will have 9 follow-up telehealth visits over 6 months. They will be asked about their symptoms and side effects. They will fill out short surveys. They will collect stool and urine samples at home. Up to 2 visits can be done in person. At these visits, they may have the option to have an MRI and another colonoscopy to get more tissue samples. Participation will last for 6-7 months.

Study AC-1101-GA-001 is an early phase open-label study with a 4-week treatment and 2-week follow-up period (without treatment) to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AC-1101 gel in patients with Granuloma Annulare.

Background: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immune disorder that can cause serious infections throughout the body. The only cure for CGD is a stem cell transplant. Transplants from a sibling are best, but many people must get transplants from unrelated donors. However, these transplants can cause serious complications in people with CGD. Objective: To see if a study drug (JSP191) can help improve the success rates of stem cell transplants for people with CGD from an unrelated donor. Eligibility: People aged 4 to 65 years with CGD who require a transplant. Design: Participants will be screened. Part of the screening will help to identify the best match to a transplant donor. Participants will have a physical exam, including dental and eye exams. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have tests of their breathing and heart function. A bone marrow sample will be taken. They will have their stem cells collected. Participants will have a catheter inserted into a vein in their chest. It will remain in place for the entire period of transplant and recovery. Participants will be in the hospital 40 to 50 days for the transplant. This will include a conditioning phase, to prepare their body for the procedure, as well as the transplant and recovery phases. As part of the conditioning phase, participants will receive JSP191 through a vein for 1 hour. After discharge, participants will have follow-up visits 2 times a week for 100 days. Additional follow-up visits will continue for 5 years....

Surgical excision needs general anesthesia and might have complications due to anesthesia. Cryotherapy can be used in an outpatient setting and doesn't need general anesthesia. This study will evaluate if cryotherapy works in granuloma pyogenicum with the advancement of no general anesthesia.
