Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether dutasteride may influence the expression of angiogenesis factors such as hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the function of the bladder and urethra during urinary storage or voiding in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia treated with either placebo or tadalafil.

This prospective, open label, muti-center study evaluates the use of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) in the treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions less than 2.5mm in size.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate FFNP PET/MRI's utility for predicting response to Levonorgestrel-releasing Intrauterine Device (LR-IUD) hormonal therapy for Complex Atypical hyperplasia (CAH) and Endometrial Cancer (EC). Participants: Eight women with histologically confirmed CAH or Grade 1 EC who have planned treatment with LR-IUD will be recruited.. Procedures (methods): The is a prospective, single arm, pilot study of 8 participants who will receive one FFNP PET/MRI scan. Medical records will be followed for 6 months.

Given that there is a significant prevalence of Lynch syndrome among patients with endometrial cancer (about 5% of patients with endometrial cancer), and given there is a known risk of endometrial cancer among patients with endometrial hyperplasia (40% risk of pre-existing occult cancer with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia), it is hypothesized that a diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia may herald on-going risk of harboring a Lynch Syndrome gene mutation. The purpose of this study is to examine endometrial hyperplasia specimens and compare the frequency of Lynch Syndrome gene mutations between endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer subjects. This will provide a rationale and opportunity for earlier screening, and reduce colon cancer morbidity and mortality secondary to the Lynch syndrome gene.

This study was a single-center randomized controlled trial which lasted 14 days and consisted of two stages (run-in period (stage I) and intervention period (stage II) each contain 7 days without potassium supplement. If participants meet the enrollment criteria at the end of stage I, they were assigned to the low sodium group (50mmol/d) or normal sodium group (100mmol/d), and then continued to finish stage II. The primary outcome was the change in serum potassium after exposure to normal sodium / low sodium diet and the secondary outcome was the assessment of BP change following a normal sodium / low sodium diet. Patients were given nifedipine controlled-release tablets 30 mg/d to lower blood pressure and were not provided any potassium supplements during the two stages. If the subject has an increase in BP (>180/110 mmHg), the dose of nifedipine controlled-release tablets will be increased to 60 mg/d. Patients will be withdrawn from the study if they cannot tolerate the diet or their serum potassium were below 2.8 mmol/L.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic drug interaction between Solifenacin and Tamsulosin in healthy male volunteers.

This was an open label, randomized, single dose, three period crossover pharmacokinetic study of Chronocort® in 30 healthy male volunteers. The study was conducted in smaller sub groups (Group 1, n=18 and Group 2, n=12).

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) consists of a constellation of symptoms (including voiding, storage, and post-micturition). The impact of the LUTS on patients' health-related quality of life is substantial and multifaceted. Thus, the therapies aimed at treating BPH are concerned primarily with improving patients' symptoms, thereby improving quality of life. When multiple symptoms are present, the level of bother associated with individual symptoms varies and patients prioritize their treatment goals for symptom relief. A measure that addresses patients' most bothersome symptoms (MBS) and evaluation of symptom-specific goal achievements may lead to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction to the treatment. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess patient-reported MBS and symptom-specific goal achievements (PGA) with medical treatment in BPH patients, and (2) to identify factors that influence or have relation to the PGA.

The objective of PERFECTO is to assess the reendothelialization at 3 months after successfully CTO percutaneous intervention (PCI) with new generation drug eluting stent (DES) by OFDI analysis. Designed as a multicentric, observational and prospective study which will be conducted at University Hospital of Poitiers (France), a systematic OFDI analysis will be realized immediately after CTO-PCI and at 3 months. Known as major predictive factors of stent thrombosis, percentages of malapposition, uncovered struts and neointimal hyperplasia proliferation will be measured over the entire length of each stent implanted combining in a composite primary endpoint.
