Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

To compare safely and efficacy of intraprostatic injection of botulinum toxin A versus ethanol for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common urinary disorders in elderly males. The symptoms of BPH include impaired physiological and functional well-being, which interferes with daily living. At present, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the standard surgical treatment. However, the high rate of complications associated with TURP is a major drawback of this procedure. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) was proven to be an effective surgical treatment for BPH with no prostate size limitation with adequate hemostasis, bipolar enucleation of the prostate (BPEP) has been introduced as an alternative energy source with a promising outcome with equal safety and efficacy

Single arm, multi-center prospective clinical trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of the AQUABEAM System in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men 45 to 80 years of age.

To see if megestrol acetate plus Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) will not be inferior to returning the endometrial tissue to a normal state than megestrol acetate or LNG-IUS alone in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia.

To see if megestrol acetate plus rosuvastatin will be superior to reversing the endometrial lesion to a normal endometrium than megestrol acetate alone in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). Considering the large sample size in RCT, we used Simon two-stage design.

Perioperative bleeding is the most common complication related to transurethral resection of prostate, the aim of the study is to compare the effect of pre-operative use of finasteride versus Cyproterone acetate on blood loss with mono polar TURP

comparison of holmium laser enucleation prostatectomy and open prostatectomy regarding safety and efficacy in men with prostate larger than 80 grams

Uterine cervical dysplasia and other female genital dysplasia continue to be significant health problems despite Cervical Screening Programs and HPV vaccinations being available. These female genital dysplasia [FGD] induced by HPV infections affect disadvantaged women in the US and globally more than others: minorities like African Americans [AA], rural populations, lower socioeconomic strata of the society and less educated in the US and lower / middle income countries. The reasons are: lack of access to screening and vaccines, lack of infrastructure, fear and shame of getting a pelvic examination and pap's smear and inability to go to the health centers that provide these cares. A simple blood test that can diagnose FGD can help make many of those hurdles go away. This proposal is to utilize the emergence of 'liquid biopsy' concepts using genomic/precision medicine advances of the past decade to have such a blood test to be made available. Collaborating with Naveris, Inc,® the clinical study will use their NavDx® blood test. This is a test for circulating cell-free tumor tissue modified viral (TTMV®)-HPV DNA. TTMV-HPV DNA is a clinically proven and analytically validated highly sensitive and specific biomarker for the identification of post-treatment recurrent and residual Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-driven squamous cell oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPSCC)1,2. Data is accruing for other major HPV-driven cancers including anal cancer and uterine cervical cancer with clinical utility appear similarly promising3. TTMV-HPV DNA is a distinct biomarker for HPV-driven malignancy and can distinguish between HPV-driven malignancy and acute and or chronic HPV infection. In this study, taking advantage of a robust Cervical Dysplasia Clinic in existence at UMMC and a team of multidisciplinary experts focused on this project, the blood levels of TTMV-HPV DNA will be determined through a fully informed IRB approved clinical trial process to correlate with the grades of dysplasia, any increasing values correlating with worsening grade/malignant transformation and other variables. This pilot study is the first of this type of biomarker-based 'screening' study, and if successful, will lead to a more efficient and convenient way to diagnose HPV-induced that will be cost effective and will need minimal infrastructure. Such a test will make remarkable beneficial differences in early diagnosis, early screening compliance, early interventions as well as improving outcomes in FGD patients worldwide. With the available infrastructure and expert team, this project can be successfully completed in a relatively short time.

Feasibility and Efficacy of lower power thulium enucleation of prostate more than 80 grams

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, medication-control, superiority, multicenter clinical study trial. This study is studying the effects and safety in treating patients from nine different centers with Benign prostatic hyperplasia, employing Composite Steep-pulse(High-frequency irreversible electroporation) Treatment Apparatus. This device could cause cell irreversible electroporation, which leading necrosis of hyperplasia tissue cells. It also has the ability to prevent nerve,vessel, urethral and capsule unnecessary injury beside the ablation area. Composite Steep-pulse Treatment Apparatus will be used in patients who pass inclusion/exclusion criteria. Safety, quality of life, and urodynamic data analysis of each patient will be evaluated in each study patients.
