Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

EPX-100 (Clemizole Hydrochloride) as Adjunctive Therapy in Children With Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. (LGS)

Alport syndrome (AS) is caused by pathogenic variants in the type IV collagen genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. This study aims to enroll families and patients with a history of renal hematuria in 27 hospitals and detect these three genes for AS screening. This study also aims to analysis the effect of COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genotype on the development of kidney disease.

The main objective is to demonstrate, from the initial episode of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children with standard prednisolone treatment, once complete remission has occurred, that the use of Broncho-Vaxom (administration for 6 months) may reduce the risk of subsequent relapse during 12-month of follow-up.

Rationale: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV2) and its related Coronavirus Disease - 19 (COVID-19) has become a health emergency worldwide. The medical community has been concerned since the beginning of the outbreak about the potential impact of COVID-19 in children, especially in those with underlying chronic diseases. Fortunately, COVID-19 has been reported to be less severe in children than in adults. Unfortunately, a new multisystem inflammatory syndrome apparently related to infection with SARS-CoV-2 has recently been reported in older children (known as MIS-C), manifested by severe abdominal pain, cardiac dysfunction and shock. However, the SARS-CoV2 infection and the underlying immunology of COVID-19, its correlation with disease severity and MIS-C in children is not fully explored. Objectives: To perform systems immunology and strain diversity among SARS-CoV2 and MIS-C infected children. Study design: Cross sectional study. Study population: Children attending outpatients units and admitted in wards in pediatric hospitals in Chennai. Main study parameters/endpoints: Immune responses in children with SARS-CoV2 infection and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) infection and its association of SARS-CoV2 viral diversity.

Preterm neonates usually develop respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) for which they need respiratory support, which may be invasive and non-invasive depend on the availability and individual need. Non-invasive is relatively safe but non-invasive high frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) is not appropriately evaluated in neonates as primary support. So the investigators hypothesized that nHFOV is relatively safe and effective in comparison with invasive ventilation for preterm neonates with RDS.

The Investigators propose a two-year, longitudinal pilot study of TS adults (>18) to determine impact of lifetime environmental stress exposure on tic severity, psychiatric comorbidity severity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

This study is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized trial of study subjects with PCOS and low vitamin D to 2 groups- placebo and vitamin D replacement. Participants and investigators will be blinded to treatment modality until the end of the trial period

The study ARITH22 will investigate the role of visuo-spatial attention on arithmetic abilities of children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

This prospective cohort study aims to compare the proportion of cardiac or cerebrovascular events after a first stroke, a first transient ischemic attack (TIA) or recurrent TIA, between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and non-SDB (control) patients, one year after SDB diagnosis, performed 3 months after stroke onset. The primary outcome is a composite endpoint composed of cardiac or cerebrovascular events regrouping: death from any cardiac or cerebrovascular cause, non-fatal stroke, and non-fatal acute coronary disease. 1620 patients, in the acute phase of a first stroke, TIA or recurrent TIA will be included in the cohort. Clinical, neuroimaging, sensorimotor, cognitive and biological parameters will be collected at inclusion. Three months after stroke or TIA onset, polysomnography will be performed for SDB diagnosis. Patients will be considered as having SDB for an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) > 15 events/hour, or to the control group otherwise. The same clinical, imaging, cognitive and biological assessments than during the first visit will be performed; incident (new) cardiovascular events will be collected. Three months later, and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years after SDB diagnosis, the same clinical, cognitive, sensorimotor, and sleep-related evaluations will be performed. In addition to the aforementioned parameters, incident cardiovascular outcomes will be collected, at the same time points. The primary study outcome will be retrieved one year after stroke onset.

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP) is a widely used and effective left ventricular adjuvant therapy. IABP is an inflatable device placed in the aorta that inflates with diastole and deflates with systole. The aim of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients treated With IABP, and to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with IABP.
