Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

People with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can be at higher risk of developing abnormal areas in their bowel. These abnormal areas can be due to active inflammation, healed inflammation, polyps or pre-cancerous changes ("dysplasia"). It is for this reason that people with IBD are offered periodic surveillance colonoscopy procedures to identify, characterize and where necessary remove abnormal areas or lesions from the bowel. These can be difficult to characterize correctly, which is important to make the correct endoscopic diagnosis and management plan. Technical advancements in endoscopy mean that more tools are available to identify and characterize these lesions in real time during colonoscopy. Specialists regularly performing gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy ("endoscopists") will often receive special training, both during their initial postgraduate training and through continuous professional development programs. This study aims to evaluate whether an online training platform can improve the ability of endoscopists to characterize dysplasia in IBD. The goal is to support improved decision-making during IBD surveillance, reporting of dysplastic lesions, and ultimately the care and outcomes of people with IBD.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of tadalafil in Japanese and non-Japanese men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The safety of tadalafil will also be studied.

Multicentric, national, prospective, parallel group, controlled. The Subjects in every center will be randomized and assigned to the pharmacologic arm or the one with the biochemical monitoring

To assess the effect of music during colposcopy on women´s anxiety.

Avmacol is an over-the-counter dietary supplement containing broccoli seed and sprout extracts in tablet form, hypothesized to activate protective cellular pathways including detoxication. In this study, participants who have been curatively treatment for head and neck cancer, will take Avmacol twice a day for 3 months.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the comprehension of the Informed consent with the Standard Verbal Communication (SVC) versus Portable Video Media (PVM).

This pilot clinical trial studies whether obese stage I-II endometrial cancer survivors or patients with atypical hyperplasia (abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus) would go see a weight loss specialist if it was recommended by their cancer doctor. Excess body weight or obesity is one of the most common contributors to (causes of) endometrial cancer. Over two-thirds of women who have survived endometrial cancer are obese. Complications of obesity, such as heart disease are often more dangerous than the cancer itself. A weight loss of even 5-10% of excess body weight is associated with improved health. Often, meeting with a doctor or person who is an expert in weight loss (bariatric specialist) is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Endometrial cancer survivors or patients with atypical hyperplasia who go see a weight loss specialist recommended by their doctor may be able to achieve a healthier body weight.

Inflammation is reported as one of the most recent hypotheses to explain BPH. Recent published works pointed out that urine and serum markers could be used for detection of prostatic inflammation. The aim of the study is to assess the activity on inflammation biomarkers (serum and urine inflammation markers) of Permixon® 160 mg hard capsule and Tamsulosine Arrow LP in the treatment of urinary symptoms related to BPH. The potential links between serum and urinary markers of inflammation and BPH clinical symptoms at baseline and on treatment will be explored.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in decreasing the volume of the prostate gland. Participants: Study participants will be recruited from UNC Urology clinics as well as referring providers. We will include 15 men who are experiencing LUTS not controlled by medication with estimated prostate gland weight between 80 and 150 grams. Procedures (methods): Enrolled patients will undergo the standard work-up for a surgical prostate procedure. In addition, the patient's arteries will be evaluated with a pelvic CT angiogram. Then, patients will undergo prostatic artery embolization. Follow up visits will be scheduled at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure. At the end of the follow-up period, if reduction in prostate gland size has made the patient eligible for transurethral therapy, they may proceed to such procedure or elect to undergo no further surgical procedure, depending on residual symptoms. Similarly, if insufficient gland size reduction has occurred, the patient may elect to pursue OP or no further procedure if they are no longer bothered by LUTS.

This study will be an open-label, randomized, single dose, three way crossover study in healthy male subjects. The aim of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of two formulations of a fixed dose combination (FDC) capsule of dutasteride and tamsulosin hydrochloride (HCl) (0.5 milligram [mg]/0.2 mg) relative to co-administration of dutasteride 0.5 mg capsules and tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.2 mg tablets in both the fed and fasted states. Approximately 84 healthy adult male subjects will be enrolled into the study and split into two cohorts (fed and fasted), allowing for approximately 36 subjects to complete each cohort. Subjects from both cohorts will receive single oral doses in 3 treatment periods and be randomized to one of six different treatment sequences (ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA) wherein A= FDC1: Dutasteride and tamsulosin HCl (0.5 mg/0.2 mg), B= FDC2: Dutasteride and tamsulosin HCl (0.5 mg/0.2 mg), C= Co-administration of commercial formulations of dutasteride(0.5mg) and tamsulosin HCl (0.2mg). Each treatment period will be separated by a minimum 28 day washout period. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken at regular intervals after dosing. Safety will be assessed by measurement of blood pressure, heart rate and review of adverse events.
