Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Our study aims to determine the efficacy of ultrasound and EMG guided Botox injections into the puborectalis muscle in women with non-relaxing puborectalis syndrome. With use of this technique, we believe we will find that Botox injections decrease symptom severity and improve quality of life (QOL) in patients with NRPS. All enrolled patients will receive ultrasound and EMG guided Botox injections at three points along the puborectalis muscle. Post-injection data will be obtained with a defecation diary and questionnaire data at the 2-week, 3-month, and 6-month intervals.

In this study, newborn babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), receiving oxygen via nasal continuous airway pressure (CPAP) modalities, and needing surfactant treatment will be randomized to standard delivery of surfactant via and endotracheal tube airway (inserted after pre-medication for pain with a short-acting narcotic), or to surfactant delivery via laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The intent is to remove the airways and return babies to non-invasive CPAP support, after surfactant is given. The primary outcome measure is the rate of failure of initial surfactant therapy. Standardized failure criteria are reached: a) early, if the baby is unable to be placed back on non-invasive CPAP (i.e., needs tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation) or, b) late, if the baby requires ventilation, retreatment with surfactant within 8 hours or more than 2 doses of surfactant. The objective of this protocol is to reduce the need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in preterm neonates with RDS needing rescue surfactant therapy by instilling surfactant though an LMA, while achieving comparable efficacy of surfactant treatment. The hypothesis is that surfactant treatment through an LMA will decrease the proportion of babies with RDS who require mechanical ventilation or subsequent intubation, when compared to standard surfactant treatment following endotracheal intubation with sedation.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Botulinum Toxin-A (Botox) injection will improve symptoms of constipation in obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS).

The study will determine the benefit of Colchicine versus placebo for cardiac surgery patients on the post-operative development of atrial fibrillation and post-pericardiotomy syndrome. Primary Objective. Colchicine will reduce the composite endpoint of incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation and post-pericardiotomy syndrome at 3 months following cardiac surgery. Secondary Objectives. Colchicine will reduce the incidence of constrictive physiology on echocardiography at 3 months following cardiac surgery. Reduction in the burden of symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in the 3 months following cardiac surgery with the use of colchicine.

To investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of clobazam when administered for 1 year as adjunctive therapy in paediatric patients aged ≥1 to ≤16 years with Dravet Syndrome.

The objective is to evaluate whether ONO-2952 modulates visceral pain perception produced by rectal distention in female patients with IBS-D

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation with peripheral nerve field stimulation for the treatment of chronic low back and leg pain.

To investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of volasertib in combination with azacitidine in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and not candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplant

The aim of the study is to learn more about the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to evaluate the mechanisms responsible of the action and benefits of ticagrelor. Ticagrelor is an oral and reversible inhibitor of P2Y12 receptor. Few information is available about the action of ticagrelor on the molecules involved in thrombogenesis and platelets activation in ACS. The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms of ticagrelor action in vivo. It was observed that patients with myocardial infarction have higher blood levels of microparticles than patients with unstable angina or stable angina. The investigators assumed that ticagrelor benefits are represented by a reduction of microparticle levels, a marker of endothelial dysfunction in patients with cardiovascular disease, and by a modification in microRNAs pattern, fragments of mRNA that have a regulatory action in various cellular processes (such as proliferation, differentiation, growth and cellular death) and represent new biomarkers in ACS.

This is a first in human, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamics of repeat doses of KHK2823.
