Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

UI-EWD (NextBiomedical Co, Incheon, South Korea), a new hemostatic powder for endoscopic treatment of high-risk bleeding peptic ulcers and bleeding after ESD/EMR.

A multicenter, open-label phase 2a trial of CN-105 in patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Patients will be evaluated for eligibility within 12 hours of symptom onset. Eligible participants (approximately 60) will receive CN-105 administered intravenously (IV) for a 30-minute infusion every 6 hours for up to a maximum of 3 days (13 doses) or until discharge (if earlier than 3 days). Participants will be monitored daily throughout the Treatment phase of the study (up to a maximum of 5 days) and will receive standard-of-care treatment for the duration of the study. Additional protocol assessments will be required during the Treatment phase. After discharge from the hospital, participants will enter a 3-month Follow-up phase, with a clinic visit at 30 days and a follow-up telephone interview with telephone-validated Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after first dose of study agent.

The prognosis of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) accompanied by submacular hemorrhage is generally poor. A recently developed anti-VEGF agent eyeliaTM is also a useful treatment option for exudative AMD. However, one major limitation of VIEW study was that lack of data regarding eyes with submacular hemorrhage. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Eylea in submacular hemorrhage secondary to exudative AMD.

INTRODUCTION Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a severe complication of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis. The primary therapy includes the administration of vasoactive drugs, antibiotics and endoscopic therapy; preferably esophageal banding ligation (EBL) and/or cyanoacrylate injection when bleeding occurs from gastric varices. In this context, the idea is to assess "Hemospray" (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC) as an initial therapy in patients with massive bleeding as a temporary "bridge" until definitive treatment could be instituted. The data generated from the pilot study performed between Erasme hospital, ULB and TBRI , Cairo showed that adding Hemospray as early as possible in the management steps could increase the bleeding control rate up to 95 % at 24 hours. OBJECTIVE The primary efficacy objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Hemospray in combination with standard of care (SOC) medical treatment compared to the efficacy of SOC in the Control Arm in patient with acute variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patient. The primary safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Hemospray when used in combination with SOC compared to SOC in the Control Arm. 1.1. Secondary: To evaluate the effect of timing of Hemospray treatment on the outcomes of bleeding patients To evaluate the adverse effects on both therapeutic regimens (SAEs and clinically significant AEs).

Prolonged antibiotic use in preterm neonates has significant consequences on the developing intestinal microbiome, metabolome and host response, predisposing the neonate to various major morbidities, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late-onset sepsis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and mortality. The hypothesis is that early and prolonged antibiotic use in preterm neonates has significant consequences on the developing intestinal microbiome, metabolome and host response, predisposing the neonate to various major morbidities. It is possible that the effect of this widespread antibiotic use outweighs the potential benefits. This study will randomize preterm infants born at less than 33 weeks gestation to either pre-emptive antibiotics or no-pre-emptive antibiotics. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the risks and benefits of current practice to determine optimal levels of antibiotic use that protects the babies from infection with minimal effect on the microbiome and subsequent adverse outcomes related to overuse of antibiotics.

Research hypothesis: Release of levonorgestrel from Metraplant-E levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine contraceptive device is inadequate to be used as a medical line of treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The investigators aim to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the intrauterine system (Metraplant-E) in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Bleeding after redo cardiac surgery is a common, unresolved and consequences-heavy event as per present day. Tisseel (Baxter inc) sprayed on the already hemostased mediastinum jut before closing seems a promising technique to radically diminish bleeding. This study aims to verify this efficacy volume in chest drains) and possibly the consensual blood transfusion lessening.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of acquired disability in youth and a source of significant morbidity and family burden. Novel behavior problems are among the most common and problematic consequences, yet many youth fail to receive needed psychological services due to lack of identification and access. Linking youth with TBI to effective treatments could improve functional outcomes, reduce family burden, and increase treatment satisfaction. The investigators overarching aim is to compare the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of three formats of family problem solving therapy (F-PST) for improving functional outcomes of complicated mild to severe adolescent TBI: therapist-guided, face-to-face; therapist-guided online; and self-guided, online F-PST.

This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intranasal Avastin (bevacizumab) injection versus saline control for control of HHT-related epistaxis when used in conjunction with bipolar electrocautery.

Patients with severe ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, who require mechanical ventilation, have a particularly bad prognosis. If they require long-term ventilation, their orotracheal tube needs to be, like in any other intensive care patient, replaced by a shorter tracheal tube below the larynx. This so called tracheostomy might be associated with advantages such as less demand of narcotics and pain killers, less lesions in mouth and larynx, better mouth hygiene, safer airway, more patient comfort and earlier mobilisation. The best timepoint for tracheostomy in stroke, however, is not known. Preliminary data from a pilot study of early tracheostomy in patients with hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke suggest that such patients may also have improved survival and long-term functional outcomes, but a large, multicenter clinical trial is needed to confirm these findings.
