Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

The investigators hypothesize that combined treatment with the GLP-1R agonist semaglutide 2.4 mg and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), compared to LNG-IUD alone, will result in improved likelihood of uterine preservation, sustained weight loss, improved endometrial and metabolomic response to progestin, and improved quality of life in premenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia who desire uterine preservation.

Purpose: The aims of this randomized clinical trial are to assess and compare 3 different outcomes in women undergoing breast reduction surgery using two different surgical devices: the Harmonic Scalpel and electrocautery. The three metrics are: the time taken to complete the operation drainage volume in the days immediately following surgery, patient pain in the days immediately following surgery.

The purpose of the study is to compare two alpha blockers, terazosin and doxazosin GITS, in achieving a successful TWOC after AUR due to BPH, among Chinese males in Hong Kong, and in delaying or avoiding a TURP.

The purpose of the study is to compare alfuzosin GITS once daily versus placebo in achieving a successful TWOC after AUR due to BPH, among Chinese males in Hong Kong, and in delaying or avoiding a TURP.

Porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) is considered a rare cause of portal hypertension (PH), resulting from specific histological alterations that essentially affect the small portal branches and sinusoids, in the absence of cirrhosis. In recent years, the recognition and importance of PSVD has increased, notably due to the widespread use of transient elastography (TE). However, the definitive diagnosis of PSVD can only be established through liver biopsy. Recent data show that PSVD should be suspected in patients with PH and TE ≤ 20 kPa and liver biopsy should be considered in this context. The investigators hypothesize that hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and magnetic resonance liver elastography (MRE) may help in the selection of liver biopsy candidates for the diagnosis of PSVD. The primary objective of the study is to describe HVPG and MRE values and liver biopsy findings in patients with PH and TE ≤ 20 kPa. The search for serum markers that can distinguish these patients from those with cirrhotic portal hypertension without the need for liver biopsy will also be the object of this study. 50 patients will be included, prospectively and retrospectively, in a comparative study between diagnostic methods, with a cross-sectional design.

There are limited evidence-based management options for patients with low-grade oral dysplasia. Despite the risk of malignant transformation, management is frequently limited to risk factor reduction (such as smoking cessation) and clinical surveillance. An intervention for low-grade oral dysplasia which could induce regression or decrease rates of malignant transformation has the potential to be a valuable preventative tool to reduce rates of oral cancer. The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to investigate if the administration of a probiotic lozenge to patients with low-grade oral dysplasia result in decreased peri-tumoral inflammation as evidenced by impacts on populations of tumor-associated macrophages and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and decreased dysbiosis at the disease site compared with the contralateral normal site. The investigators hypothesize that these changes may increase the rate of clinical regression of these lesions.

The Rezum system is an ablative procedure for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). One of the limitations of the technology is the need for post-operative catheterization up to 5 days. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of employing Catheterless Rezum post-operatively in patients with normal or strong bladder contractility. Upon a positive outcome of interim analysis, the effectiveness of Catheterless Rezum will be assessed at five sites for the multicenter phase.

The enlargement of the prostate is responsible for voiding dysfunction in men, and especially elderly men. The primary surgical treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) was transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, current resection techniques are predominantly experience-based and judgment-based, with little evidence to support the most effective portion of the prostate to be respected. So, the investigators plan through the study to construct a flow diagram to evaluate the amount of tissue needed to be resected to improve voiding flow dynamics.

The study objectives are to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the Medi-Tate iTIND as compared to control group (catheter only).

This is a multicenter Phase 2, multiple dose, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of SPR001 in adult patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
