Hunter SyndromeStudy HGT-HIT-094 is a multicenter study designed to determine the effect on clinical parameters of neurodevelopmental status of monthly IT administration of idursulfase-IT 10 mg for 12 months in pediatric patients with Hunter syndrome and cognitive impairment who have previously received and tolerated a minimum of 4 months of therapy with Elaprase.

Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of Fingolimod in Children With Rett Syndrome
Rett's SyndromeThe Trial Objective is to assess safety and efficacy of oral fingolimod (FTY720) in children older than 6 years with Rett Syndrome. So far there is no established treatment for children with Rett Syndrome. Therefore a positive result in terms of safety and first indications of efficacy would path the way to a phase II clinical study with more patients to further test the hypothesis that fingolimod treatment may slow down the regression of motor and language skills.

Effects of SEvoflurane on Gas Exchange and Inflammation in Patients With ARDS (SEGA Study)
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeNumerous trials support the efficacy and safety of volatile anesthetic agents, namely inhalation of sevoflurane through dedicated devices, for the sedation of ICU patients. Several preclinical studies have shown that sevoflurane inhalation improves gas exchange and decreases pulmonary and systemic inflammation in experimental models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of our prospective monocentric, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of an early 48-hour sevoflurane inhalation on gas exchange and inflammation in patients with ARDS.

Darbepoetin Alfa MDS Companion Protocol
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)The primary objective of the study was to provide required access of investigational product (darbepoetin alfa) beyond the end of the active treatment period (EOATP) of the darbepoetin alfa MDS 20090160 (NCT01362140) study for patients who had continued demonstration of benefit from darbepoetin alfa treatment and to describe the safety of longer-term use in this patient population.

Shoulder Impingement SyndromeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of allogeneic PRP in patients with subacromial impingement disease

Effect of Sleep Apnea Treatment on Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 DiabetesSleep Apnea SyndromeHypothesis: To address the role of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)on nocturnal glycemia in patients having type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea syndrome. Investigators make the hypothesis that sleep apnea syndrome impacts nocturnal glycemia in type 1 diabetic patients and that continuous positive airway pressure treatment will permit to improve the nocturnal glycemic profile. Study design: Adult patients with type 1 diabetes will be recruited for an extensive study of sleep habits and assessment of sleep breathing disorders. When patients will present with severe sleep apnea syndrome (apnea-hypopnea index above 30 events/hour) and insufficient glycemic control (HbA1c > 7.5%), they will be randomized in continuous positive airway pressure treatment or sham-continuous positive airway pressure treatment group for three months. Main outcome: Nocturnal glycemic control will be assessed for 5 days before and after three months of the allocated treatment.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients.

Effect of Blueberry Consumption on Metabolic Syndrome & DNA Damage
Metabolic SyndromeInsulin Resistance1 moreObesity usually brings with it disturbances in the body that increase the chances of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer. These disturbances include one or more symptoms of a condition called "metabolic syndrome" that often leads to diabetes. High levels of damage to the DNA that makes up our chromosomes have also been observed in obese people. It is possible that these two disturbances are connected. The goal of this project is to test this whether consumption of blueberries will improve these abnormalities.
