Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The purpose of this is study is to evaluate the long-term safety of DCCR (diazoxide choline) extended-release tablets) in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome.

The goal of this study observational prospective study is to define the facial morphological features associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS). The main qustion it aims to answer are: To describe the facial morphological features associated with MFS and their evolution over time; To study the association between facial morphology and the features of reference for the diagnosis of MFS.

This is a Phase II, open-label study designed to determine if intravenously administered NM8074 results in remission from TMA in treatment-naïve aHUS patients.

The main objective is to investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), and among the secondary objectives, to establish the ultrasound parameters that are predictors of CTS in comparison with neurophysiological studies, attempting to standardize a protocol and reference values that determine the presence or absence of CTS. Finally, cost-effectiveness analysis is proposed.

Critically ill patients show an acute phase characterized by systemic spread of the inflammatory response, irrespectively of the cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and late sequelae, including ICU acquired muscle weakness (ICUAW) and neurocognitive impairment. Mechanisms driving these late sequelae are unknown and there are no effective therapies to date. PreMed4PICS hypothesis is that skeletal muscle pathogenetic phenotypes and long-term sequelae in survivors to critical illness can be predicted at ICU admission in peripheral blood samples by transcriptomic profiling of the acute systemic response. Our main objective is to identify pathogenesis-dependent predictive signatures of muscle injury and clinical outcomes such as ICUAW or cognitive impairment. A multicentric prospective observational study will be conducted including adult patients admitted to the ICU and followed up until 12 months after ICU discharge. This will allow for clinical subphenotyping, sample acquisition and histopathological studies. To identify subphenotype-specific molecular pathways involved in skeletal muscle recovery, single-nuclei RNAseq will be performed. Massive sequencing of whole blood RNA and circulating microRNA at ICU admission will be performed to identify transcriptomic signatures that result in quantitative scores predictive of the outcomes of interest. All the findings will be confirmed in two validation cohorts. Collectively, this project aims to characterize the molecular mechanisms leading to ICUAW development and recovery, identifying therapeutic targets. The potential of a quantitative approach to the acute inflammatory response to predict long-term sequelae in survivors of critical illness will be validated.

Complex regional pain syndrome is a painful syndrome often secondary to a traumatic lesion. Treatment is difficult, of long duration with variable outcomes. Patch of capsaïcin has been proposed as adjuvant to a multimodal treatment. Capsaïcin may act by its effect on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1. Efficacity and outcome studies with this treatment are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate pain intensity over time assessed by visual analog scale in patient with complex regional pain syndrome treated with capsaïcin patch in addition to their usual treatment.

Currently, TCM recipes are widely used in treating menopausal syndrome(MS) with obvious efficiency and slight side effects. We have developed the Chinese herbal compound TJAOA102 and has validated its effects in animals. Here, we will perform a population-based, multicenter study to confirm the safety and efficacy of TJAOA102 in therapy of MS, which will provide a solid evidence for TCM in therapy of MS.

Primary Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease belonging to the group of connectivities, whose physiopathology remains largely unknown. Quantification and characterization of epithelial and endothelial circulants in Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome could reflect the intensity of the epithelial aggression, and thus possibly constitute a biomarker.

This is an open label, short placebo-controlled trial in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) patients inadequately treated with standard therapy. Investigators hypothesize that the study drug, sublingual apomorphine (Kynmobi), may improve RLS breakthrough symptoms. This study is designed to determine if sublingual apomorphine improves breakthrough symptoms in RLS patients, in addition to subjective responses.
