Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII given in conjunction with standard therapy in the treatment of massive bleeding in subjects with severe blunt and/or penetrating trauma injury.

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and Oceania. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII (NovoSeven®) in preventing early haematoma growth in acute Intracerebral Haemorrhage (ICH).

Primary endpoint of the valoration: Incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding. 1.14. Study population and total number of patients: 20 patients were required in each group (40 total) to objectify a decrease of rebleeding rate of 45% with an alpha error of 5% and 10% beta. 1.15. Treatment duration: 2 years. 1.16. Calendar and expected completion date: July 2011 - July 2013

Patients with a supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group which will keep them at a normal body temperature or the standard of care group. The investigators propose to test the hypothesis that prophylactic forced normothermia in patients with ICH leads to less systemic inflammation and decreased perihematomal edema.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal aflibercept injection in the treatment of PCV

A multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled, comparative efficacy and safety trial in subjects undergoing open liver resection surgery. The study will enroll 42 eligible subjects and be conducted at 4 sites in the Netherlands.

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. This study investigates the potential benefits of early tracheostomy in ventilated critically ill patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.

The purpose of this study is to determine if giving blood transfusions to anemic patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage will reduce their chances of having a stroke from vasospasm.

This is a progressive dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety of Hemospan compared to a standard crystalloid solution (Ringer's lactate) in elective surgery patients undergoing total prostatectomy procedures with anticipated blood loss of more than 500 mL. Secondary objectives of this study are to observe possible activity of Hemospan for tissue oxygenation, perfusion and cardiovascular support.

Bleeding peptic ulcers are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality for hospital emergency admissions.The initial treatment is endoscopic therapy followed by intravenous omeprazole. However the optimal dosage of omeprazole is not known. We conducted this study to find out the optimal dosage in such clinical scenario.
