Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety of UX007 in Glut1 DS participants.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injection of platelet-rich plasma derived from patient's blood is effective in treatment of shoulder subacromial impingement syndrome as compared to the current protocol of methylprednisolone injection.

We hypothesize that the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody Rituximab will be more effective than MMF in maintaining remission in children with frequent relapsing or steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome who have had one relapse while receiving MMF. We will conduct a randomized study comparing two Rituximab infusions and continued MMF treatment. We plan to enroll 64 to have a comparater group of 58 (29 in each arm).

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic activity of 3 different dosages of RO5186582 compared with placebo. A total of approximately 46 participants will be enrolled, in order to have at least 32 evaluable, and will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, with 9 children per treatment arm. The target ratio between 6-8 years and 9-11 years age groups is approximately 1:1 in each treatment arm, with a minimum of 3 children per age group in each treatment arm.

The study will compare the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of gabapentin (Neurontin) versus gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) as treatment restless leg syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Subcutaneous Nerve Stimulation (SQS) (also known as Peripheral Nerve Stimulation [PNS]) in the reduction of chronic, intractable post-surgical back pain in adults.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of performing a larger multicenter phase III trial to assess the effects of unfractionated heparin (UFH) in acute chest syndrome (ACS). Prespecified feasibility criteria consists of the ability to enroll potential study participants, which includes the timely notification of hospitalized patients with ACS, the capacity to consent eligible individuals, and the ability to appropriately randomize eligible patients within 24 hours of diagnosis. Additional feasibility objectives involve ensuring appropriate eligibility criteria, proper administration of the study drug, and the ability to completely and accurately collect clinical data of interest. The final aim of our pilot study is to provide preliminary data, with respect to treatment effect and variance, to allow sample size calculation in a larger trial given the lack of data available to help guide this process. The investigators hypothesize that the use of UFH in ACS will result in a decrease in the duration of hospitalization and improve other clinical outcomes, such as the duration of hypoxemia and duration of moderate to severe pain.

The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the frequency and severity of GI adverse events in different dose administration regimens. The patient population consists of low or intermediate (int-1) risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with transfusional iron overload. The study patients are randomized to either a morning dose of 20 mg/kg/day deferasirox or an evening dose of the same. Patients are then followed up for 6 months for any GI events and are assessed using patient reported outcomes tools e.g. a patient diary.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in people who have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with thrombocytopenia who have progressed or are resistant to decitabine or azacitidine. (These are the only 2 drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] which can improve platelet counts). The investigators (the study doctor, study staff, and sponsor) want to find out what effects, good or bad, eltrombopag (study drug) may have on people with low platelet counts due to MDS. The investigators will also be testing how well eltrombopag may work at different doses in these diseases.

The purpose of this study is to generate long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy data for AFQ056 in eligible adult patients with FXS who have participated in the CAFQ056A2212 (NCT01253629).study and patients who have participated in the previous proof-of-concept study CAFQ056A2204 (NCT00718341).
