Active clinical trials for "Hypertrophy"

Optimal scar healing is of great importance to patients, especially following surgery of the head and neck. This study evaluates the effectiveness of preoperative silicone ointment in wound healing in head and neck surgeries.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aficamten (CK-3773274) in adults with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction

This is a multicenter open-label study of the administration of mavacamten in participants with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oHCM) who previously participated in study MYK-461-004 (PIONEER-HCM).

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study in the United States (U.S.) that will evaluate the effect of mavacamten treatment on reducing the number of septal reduction therapy (SRT) procedures performed in subjects with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM [also known as HOCM]) who are eligible for SRT based on ACCF/AHA 2011 and/or ESC 2014 guidelines.

Mavacamtenis a novel, small molecule, selective allosteric inhibitor of cardiac-specific myosin, for the treatment of patients with symptomatic oHCM. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of mavacamten in Chinese adults with symptomatic oHCM.

A prospective, non-randomized study. The subjects will be enrolled and treated with the Optilume BPH Prostatic DCB Dilation Catheter System at up to 8 clinical sites. The post-treatment follow-up visit can be up to 5 years. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Optilume™ BPH Prostatic Drug Coated Balloon Dilation Catheter System in the treatment of BPH.

This study is designed to assess if there is a significant difference in same day discharge rates after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). The investigators attempt to perform HoLEP as a same-day discharge (SDD) procedure, but at Northwestern Memorial, the SDD rate is currently approximately 60%. The limiting factor in SDD is hematuria. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a clot promoting drug that is commonly used by orthopedic, cardiac and obstetric surgeons to prevent bleeding. The primary outcome will be to assess if there is a difference in SDD rates in those who receive TXA vs. those who do not. Secondary outcomes will assess bleeding complications (defined as unplanned ED visit/clinic visit/procedure/admission related to bleeding, clot retention, clot evacuation, need for perioperative transfusion) between participants who receive TXA vs. those do not. The study will also assess differences in perioperative complications associated with TXA including but not limited to: deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular events, between the groups. The study will also assess for the duration of postoperative hematuria between groups as well as differences in operative times between the groups. The investigators anticipate that there may be up to a 25% increase in SDD rates in those who receive TXA vs. those who do not.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a 30-week course of mavacamten and the long-term effects of mavacamten in Japanese participants with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

The development of symptomatic heart failure is frequently preceded by a pre-clinical period of structural remodeling in the heart. The remodeling process driving this transition, however, remains poorly understood. The investigators hypothesize that imaging the diffusion of water in the heart with MRI will allow its microstructure to be resolved. The investigators further hypothesize that the characterization of microstructural changes in the heart will help elucidate the pathogenesis of heart failure and the transition from a compensated to a decompensated state. Patients with recent myocardial infarcts and left ventricular hypertrophy, who are at risk for the development of heart failure, will be enrolled. The participants will undergo serial diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) imaging of the heart to characterize changes in myocardial microstructure over time.
