Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This randomized phase III trial is studying how well Caphosol rinse works in preventing mucositis in young patients undergoing autologous or donor stem cell transplant. Supersaturated calcium phosphate (Caphosol) rinse may be able to prevent mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.

This trial assesses blood and tumor samples for the effect of trametinib with or without uprosertib on biomarkers in patients enrolled on trial GOG02290 with endometrial cancer that is persistent or has come back. Biomarkers found in the blood and tissue may be related to the reaction or response to the study drugs.

To evaluate the effect of a prophylactical therapy with a cough medicine containing ivy leaves dry extract on the frequency of recurrent wheezy bronchitis in toddlers, on the duration of the bronchitis episodes, on the severity and the additional drug demand. A prolonged asymptomatic episode between each wheezy bronchitis due to the therapy is assumed.

Blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with bevacizumab has been used to treat abnormal vascular conditions of the anterior segment of the eye. In pterygium, anti-VEGF agents have been recently proposed as primary treatments, such as perioperative adjuvants, as well as treatments for pterygia recurrences after surgery. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the effect of three subconjunctival bevacizumab injections in patients with an early pterygium recurrence. Materials and Methods: The current study was a non-randomized single central trial. The method of ensuring allocation concealment was sequentially numbered. Patients with an early pterygium recurrence were selected and invited to participate in the study. Recurrence was defined as the presence of corneal vessels with concomitant conjunctival hyperemia within the first trimester after primary pterygium removal, and only patients with primary pterygium recurrence were included. Patient related factors such as pregnancy, women seeking to become pregnant, and lactating women were excluded from the study. All patients received three subconjunctival bevacizumab (2.5 mg/0.05 ml) injections (basal, 2 and 4 weeks) in the recurrence area of the pterygium, and were photographed at the third, sixth and twelfth months after the last bevacizumab injection. Photographic analyses were performed taking into account two pterygium areas: the first measure included only the vessel area in the corneal surface, while the second measure included, both, conjunctival and corneal vessel area (corneal-conjunctival area of hyperemia). Neovascularization area of each pterygium was determined using digital slit lam pictures, which were analyzed using Photoshop CS4, in order to get pixels measurements of the lesion.

This prospective non-randomized controlled trial aims to determine whether autotransfusion of red blood cells salvaged before liver resection is associated with the recurrence-free survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

The French cooperative group GINECO proposes to implement an observational study to describe a real situation, in daily practice tolerance and methods of administration of trabectedin (Yondelis®)-Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin(Caelyx)®, in ovarian platinum sensitive cancer relapse.

THE AIM OF THE PROJECT The main aim lies in the prevention of frequent relapses typical for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder by means of simple, highly cost-effective information technology-aided approach RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS A the end of 18 months study duration, patients in the active group enrolled in ITAREPS will demonstrate statistically significantly reduced risk of hospitalization, decreased number of hospitalization days and reduced direct inpatient costs in comparison to control group not using the program.

A double-blind, multicentre, stratified by centre, randomised, parallel study with two groups of adult patients operated on for Crohn's disease, to determine if oral ingestion of probiotics could prevent the appearance of Crohn's disease recurrent endoscopic ileo-colonic lesions 12 months after surgery. Patients will consume 900 mg/day of active product (N=56) or control product (N=56) during one year.

Pediatric Crohn's Disease is a life long disease , presenting early in life.As such , it is imperative to be able to evaluate the risk for more severe disease and poorer outcomes when making the decision which therapies to offer our patients. These decisions should be based according to longer-term disease outcomes, such as whether they prevent disease relapse or prolong remission [10-12]. However, for the most part, previous studies were not designed to yield predictive parameters that could allow a clinician to differentiate which patients are at a higher risk for relapse, or more likely to to have serious attacks or complications of the disease or therapy. The ability to predict these risks would impact dramatically the way CD patients are treated, allowing the clinician to tailor therapy, both type and intensity, to each patient's individual risk for relapse and outcomes.In the present first phase of the study , we will attempt to identify factors that predict relapse of the disease, focusing on the use of calprotectin at onset and after clinical remission, and on the use of anti-glycan antibodies, as well as disease severity, site and phenotype.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy for the prevention of the recurrence for bladder cancer after TUR-Bt
