Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women in fertile age. PCOS is associated with metabolic syndrom, diabetes and and increased risk og cardiovascular disease. The study investigates the effect af intervention with GLP-1-analog on risk markers of cardiovascular disease in women with PCOS. 70 women will be included in af RCT. Hypothesis: GLP-1-analog treatment in women with PCOS (without diabetes) will result in a beneficial reduction in risk markers of vascular thrombosis and early cardiovascular disease.

This is an extension study to investigate long term safety and efficacy of SyB C-1101 when orally administered every 3 weeks, twice daily for 14 consecutive days to the patients who have completed 6 cycles in the study 2012002 whose purpose is to investigate tolerability of SyB C-1101 when administered orally in patients with recurrent/relapsed or refractory myelodysplastic syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to learn if 5'-Azacitidine will help to lower the risk of the disease coming back after a stem cell transplant in patients with MDS and AML. This study will also be looking at the side effects of this medicine. 5'-Azacitidine is an FDA approved drug for treatment of MDS and AML, as well as patients whose disease came back after transplant, where it helped going into remission. It is unclear if 5'-Azacitidine can prevent the disease from coming back after transplant. This study will help show if getting 5'-Azacitidine soon after transplant can lower the risk of your disease coming back.

This is a multicentre, extension study of LUM001 in children diagnosed with Alagille Syndrome who have completed participation in a core LUM001 treatment protocol. The primary objective is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of LUM001. Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of LUM001 on the biochemical markers and pruritus associated with Alagille Syndrome.

Background: Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a highly penetrant, autosomal dominant cancer predisposition disorder. Four main cancer types including sarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, breast cancer, and malignant brain tumors commonly characterize LFS but the syndrome can include other cancers. Metformin is an oral biguanide drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of type II diabetes. Metformin has been associated with reduced cancer risk in several epidemiologic studies and reduced cancer mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Metformin decreases circulating insulin and IGF1, and promotes glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and inhibits gluconeogenesis in the liver. Elevations in circulating insulin and IGF1 levels have been associated with increased cancer risk. Preclinical research in animal models shows that metformin may be more toxic in cancer cells that have lost p53 function. Lifetime risk of cancer in LFS patients with germline TP53 mutations is estimated to be up to 70% by age 60, with women having excess lifetime cancer risk (up to 100%) compared to men (up to 80%). There are currently no approved chemopreventive agents for patients with LFS. Metformin has been shown to be safe and tolerable in diabetic and non-diabetics, and may be an ideal candidate for chemoprevention of cancer in this population. Objectives: Determine the tolerability of oral daily metformin in patients with LFS caused by germline TP53 mutations. Determine if 8 weeks of daily metformin administration has any effect on circulating IGF-1, insulin, and IGFBP3 Eligibility: Must have a germline TP53 mutation and provide documentation of testing. Must have adequate organ function. Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Design: This is a pilot study to assess the tolerability of daily oral metformin administration in patients with LFS caused by germline TP53 mutations and to study the effect of metformin on biomarker levels in these subjects. In the absence of intolerable toxicity, a minimum of 22 patients will take metformin by mouth for a total of 14 weeks and then discontinue metformin for 6 weeks. The total time on study will be 20 weeks. Patients will be assessed for biomarker levels (IGF-1, insulin, IGFBP3) by blood sample at baseline, and weeks 0 and 8.

Study WCMC IST/VOS/MDS evaluates the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of vosaroxin in adult patients with pathologically confirmed Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or MDS, (< 20% blasts in bone marrow, peripheral blood, or both) by World Health Organization (WHO) classification with an intermediate 2 (INT-2) or high-risk score (ie, ≥ 1.5) as assessed by the International Scoring System (IPSS) after failure of hypomethylating agent-based therapy. Based on 3 completed studies and xenograft models, Vosaroxin is hypothesized to be safe and will effective in this patient population.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the study drug known as galunisertib in participants with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Participants with different degrees of disease (very low, low, and intermediate risk) will be studied. The study treatment is expected to last about 6 months for each participant.

The present project is a multicenter, phase II trial which aims at evaluating if the administration of azacytidine (Vidaza®) combined to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) could improve the response rate to DLI in the population of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.

This phase II trial studies how well T cell depleted donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in younger patients with high risk hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing a subset of the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.
