Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

The purpose of this grant is to collect pilot data to assess the amount of botulinum toxin that needs to be injected into the calf muscles of subjects with diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and a plantar ulcer to decrease muscle strength. We hypothesize that a decrease in plantar flexor muscle strength will temporarily decrease plantar pressure. The decrease in plantar pressure will provide temporary protection to the new tissue as it gains tolerance to high stress with the long term potential outcome as a decrease in the ulcer recurrence rate.

The aim of this study is to compare immunosuppression protocol of tacrolimus + MMF with that of tacrolimus + steroid for preventing recurrence of hepatitis C after living donor liver transplantation.

This is an exploratory study and is a Phase 3, single-arm, multi-center, open-label study of pegylated interferon alfa-2b, PEG-IFN alpha-2b (PEG-Intron) and ribavirin (RBV) to determine the sustained virologic response (SVR) at 24-week follow-up to 48 week in subjects after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) recurrence.

This study has two main aims. The first is to assess whether Dexamethasone can increase the number of patients with who respond to Velcade. The second aim of this study is to see whether treating patients with relapsed multiple myeloma with Velcade and Dexamethasone for a longer period of time extends the time that the myeloma is under control.

A prospective study of 40 patients admitted with the diagnosis of enterocutaneous fistula and prepared for definite surgical repair in the form of resection anastomosis of ECF. The investigators used preoperative serum C-reactive protein as predicting factor to recurrence and independent variable for timing of surgery.

Our study included 60 patients with idiopathic OAB and treated with solifenacin 5mg twice daily for one month. After improvement of their condition, we divided the responders into 2 groups, group I stopped the drug suddenly, while group II underwent gradual weaning of the drug.

This study assesses the level of distress felt by cancer patients due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Researchers also want to learn if patients prefer to receive supportive care (palliative care) in person or through telemedicine (visits by phone or video call, such as Zoom). Information from this study may help doctors better understand how COVID-19 has affected patients with advanced cancer, patients' perceptions of telehealth, and may help clinicians tailor care to patients' needs during the pandemic.

This retrospective study aimed at assessment of different patterns (morphological and pathological) of tumor recurrence found at first evaluation after BCG induction therapy (3 months cystoscopy) for intermediate and high-risk NMIBC and its prognostic implications at a tertiary referral center.

This qualitative study, combining psychiatric and anthropological perspectives, focused on the development and/or worsening of patients' eating disorders since Covid-19, as well as the experiences and perceptions of those around them - such as their family, teachers or staff. School and nursing staff. This multi-site approach will provide a multidimensional perspective on the experience of individuals and those around them, as well as a triangulation of data. The hypotheses to explain the increase in Eating Disorders (EDs) will be addressed through semi-structured interviews offered to study participants.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, dexamethasone, and filgrastim together for peripheral stem cell mobilization works in treating patients with refractory or recurrent lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, and dexamethasone, before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, and certain chemotherapy drugs helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored
