Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

Investigation of efficacy and tolerability of bezlotoxumab in patients with cancer diagnosis in terms of preventing CDI recurrence.

The present study is based on the hypothesis, that recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with abnormal plasma mannose binding lectin (p-MBL) level. Secondarily, p-MBL level may affect the reproductive and the perinatal outcome in the first pregnancy following RPL. Thus, the present study aim to examine whether MBL should be a biomarker for women at risk for RPL and, secondarily, affect the reproductive and perinatal outcome, and thereby help clinicians identify fragile women who need intensified perinatal care.

The study is intended to investigate whether the improved initial detection and resection of bladder cancer lesions in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with Hexvix (Cysview) fluorescence cystoscopy/TURB will lead to a longer-term reduction in recurrences compared to standard white light cystoscopy/TURB.

To investigate of the clinical safety and effectiveness of eribulin mesylate in patients with inoperable or recurrent breast cancer

The recurrence rates of endometriosis reported in women 5 years after therapy with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist were 74% for severe disease . No strategies to prevent the recurrence of endometriosis have been uniformly successful. Local progesterone treatment of endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for 12 months has resulted in a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and dyspareunia; a high degree of patient satisfaction; and a significant reduction in the volume of rectovaginal endometriotic nodules. LNG-IUS may become a more important option if a long-term medical suppression of endometriosis. Based on literature review, I hypothesized that maintenance therapy of LNG-IUS in conjunction with the GnRH agonist could lower the recurrence rates endometriosis after conservative surgery. We try to answer the question whether maintenance therapy of LNG-IUS in conjunction with the GnRH agonist could lower the recurrence rates and thus extend the symptom-free interval (menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea) as compared to GnRH agonist alone after conservative surgery in severe endometriosis cases.

This Phase 4 pilot cross-sectional descriptive/exploratory study is to be conducted in clinical practice settings (including MS (Multiple sclerosis) specialty clinics, general neurology practices, or other academic or private practice settings) in the United States to assess the psychometric properties of the ARMS questionnaire in approximately 100 adult patients with MS who are experiencing a confirmed relapse, as identified by the investigator or designee at each site. Neither efficacy nor safety of treatment will be evaluated in this study. The ARMS questionnaire is a 2-part, 2-page survey, with each part comprising 7 questions on 1 page. Part 1 is designed to evaluate the patient's relapse symptoms and how the symptoms affect daily activities and overall function, as well as patient's response to past treatments for previous relapses, as a means of guiding treatment selection. Part 2 is designed to evaluate treatment response in terms of symptom relief and functioning, as well as treatment tolerability. Part 1 of the survey is to be completed when the patient presents with new relapse of MS. Part 2 of the survey is to be completed 1 month (± 1 week) after initiation of treatment for relapse of MS. Treatment for relapse will be at the sole discretion of the investigator.

The purpose of this study will explore the advantages of electrodes used for monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in thyroid surgery

The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of distilled water vs Mitomycin C on preventing the recurrences of intermediate risk group recurrent superficial bladder cancer administered as a single dose immediate instillation after complete Transurethral Resection(TUR) of the tumor.

The results of the Prolong study, currently submitted for publication, show that patients with a first unprovoked venous thromboembolic event who have altered D-dimer levels, measured one month after anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists is stopped, have a high rate of recurrences (about 14%) and a prolongation of anticoagulation is effective in reducing significantly this rate. Those patients with normal D-dimer (about 60% of all patients examined) have a low rate of recurrences (about 5%) and likely a prolongation of anticoagulation in all these patients cannot be recommended. In line with these results, the Prolong-Two study aims at assessing the predictive role for recurrence of D-dimer levels measured: a) during anticoagulation, b) one month after its withdrawal and c) periodically during follow up. Patients with a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism (including proximal deep vein thrombosis of a leg and/or pulmonary embolism) which are treated with vitamin K antagonists for not less than 6 months are considered for the study. D-dimer assay is performed during anticoagulation and patients with altered results continue the anticoagulation for 6 more months. Those with normal D-dimer stop the anticoagulant treatment and are again examined one month later. Anticoagulation is resumed for 6 more months in those patients with abnormal D-dimer results but is permanently stopped in those with a normal assay. The latter patients are examined and D-dimer assay performed again every two months to evaluate the natural history of the assay after anticoagulation is stopped and the possible predictive value for recurrence of a change of the assay during follow-up from normal to abnormal results.
