Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose response of two delayed release formulations of linaclotide (DR; DR formulation 1 is DR1; DR formulation 2 is DR2) administered orally to patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). Additional objectives include understanding how the two DR formulations compare with each other and with the FDA-approved 290 μg LINZESS® (the immediate release [IR] formulation of linaclotide).

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome that is likely to occur or spread (higher risk) and who were previously treated or untreated and unfit for or refused intense therapy. Ibrutinib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Purpose There is a growing evidence of high efficacy of post-transplantation cyclophocphomide (PTCy)-based GVHD prophylaxis in haploidentical and matched related and unrelated bone marrow transplantation. There is limitted, but growing data on safety and efficacy of this prophylaxis in unrelated and peripheral blood stem cell transplantations. Use of PTCy in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodisplatic syndrome is of particular interest. On the one hand, PTCy could reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD and long-term bormidity. On the other hand, there is a concern, that PTCy can increase the incidence of graft failures in this group of patients. Currently published data indicate that low-dose Thymoglobulin-based prophylaxis is the most promissing compatitor in terms of acute and chronic GVHD control. So there is a rationale to randomize Thymoglobulin and PTCy as GVHD prophilaxis. Pre-transplant assesment of moratlity (PAM)-index will be used as the strata for randomization, as it is the paramter that takes into account the most important factors effecting survival. The conditioning regimen and the other two components of GVHD prophylaxis (mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus) will be identical in the two arms of the study.

This observational study investigates the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption versus plasmapheresis in 60 patients with relapse in Multiple Sclerosis and Clinically isolated syndrome who do not fully recover after a high doses of intravenous corticosteroids.

Ticagrelor, a more potent P2Y12 inhibitor, has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It is increasingly used as a first line therapy in ACS. However, more potent P2Y12 inhibition has been associated with increased bleeding. This may be of particular concern for patients with ACS who require coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). In particular, the timing for cessation of ticagrelor before proceeding to CABG is unclear. RAPID TITRATE CABG is a randomized vanguard study to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary safety of a strategy of early versus delayed CABG in ACS patients initially treated with ticagrelor and to identify potential mechanisms underlying benefits or complications of early bypass surgery.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 with or without cytarabine works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 works better with or without cytarabine in treating patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect on intestinal permeability of a supplementation with Lactibiane Tolérance® for 4 weeks (28 days) in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea predominance. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effects of supplementation with Lactibiane Tolérance® for 4 weeks (28 days) in patients suffering from IBS with diarrhea predominance on intestinal permeability, inflammation of the digestive tract, symptoms and comfort. Single-center study in single open arms: 30 volunteer adults suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea predominance and matching the criteria of inclusion and non-inclusion listed below.

Bladder pain syndrome is a condition where pain is experienced when the bladder fills with urine and eases briefly when the bladder empties. There can also be a constant need to urgently empty the bladder. The internal pelvic floor muscles in people with bladder pain syndrome can be tense and painful, and relaxing and stretching them may improve symptoms; reducing bladder pain, urgency and how often people have to empty their bladder. This pelvic floor release is done by specialist physiotherapists.Therapeutic wands, such as the TheraWand®, are used routinely throughout the United Kingdom to allow people to relax and stretch their pelvic floor themselves. Using a therapeutic wand has been shown to be safe and to reduce pelvic pain, improve bladder and bowel symptoms and relax the pelvic floor muscles. However, this research was conducted mostly in men with pelvic pain. The aim of this study is to find out if using a therapeutic wand at home as well as having a specialist physiotherapist massage the pelvic floor gives any added benefit than just having the physiotherapy treatment. The investigators hope to find out if the therapeutic wand gives women a way of managing their symptoms independently in their own homes.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of electrical pudendal nerve stimulation (EPNS) and Tolterodine Tartrate in patients with urgency-frequency syndrome.

This study evaluate the effectiveness of adding neuromuscular exercises with tactile, visual and auditory feedback to a scapula-focused treatment, both emphasizing the periscapular muscles on improvement of disability in patients with subacromial pain syndrome compared to patients receiving only strengthening exercise protocol.
