Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

To evaluate safety and tolerability of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in children from 6 to 12 years old with Intellectual Developmental Disorders (IDD) (Down syndrome or Fragile X syndrome).

Phase 2, open-label, fixed-dose titration study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NBI-98854 administered once daily for a total of 24 weeks in children, adolescents, and adults with Tourette Syndrome (TS).

A multicenter, Placebo controlled, Restasis® referenced, Randomized, Double blind, Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HU00701/HU007 Eye Drops in Adult Patients with Dry Eye Syndrome

The study is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel study in IBS patients. A total of 60 adult patients diagnosed with IBS-C, -D or -A/M according to Rome IV criteria will be included. The participants will be randomized into one of three groups consuming either HMO (two groups) or placebo (one group). The primary objective of the study is to establish the effect of HMOs on the faecal microbiota in IBS patients. Secondary objectives are to assess the effect on gastrointestinal symptoms, mucosal immunity, gut barrier function, quality of life, and anxiety and depression.

Metabolic syndrome increases the risk for development of heart disease. Another condition associated with metabolic syndrome is fatty liver disease which is also referred to as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recently, drugs that block fatty acid synthesis have been developed to treat cancer. These drugs are now being considered for the treatment of NAFLD. A research test designed to measure liver fatty acid synthesis involves consumption of a sugary solution and measurement of blood fats over a six-hour period. The present study will test the drug 3-V Bioscience-2640 in healthy subjects with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome before and after 10 days of treatment to determine if 50 mg/d significantly reduces liver fat synthesis and lowers liver fat storage.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab to control disease activity in adolescent and adult participants with aHUS who had not previously used a complement inhibitor.

SUMMARY: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among reproductive age women with a prevalence as high as 15%. The clinical symptoms of PCOS including menstrual dysfunction, infertility, hirsutism, alopecia, acne, and the possible increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease have been reported to be significant contributors to psychological morbidity and impact health-related quality of life. For women with PCOS, the changes in physical appearance and the associated mood disorders appear to be deleterious for sexual function. Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml serum concentration of 25[OH]D), which affects from 67% to 85% of women,4 is closely linked to symptoms of PCOS. The main physiologic role of vitamin D is to regulate calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and to promote bone health. Although there has been an increase in awareness of the importance of sexual dysfunction and QoL in women with PCOS, few studies have evaluated the outcomes of treatment for PCOS upon sexual and subjective health status of women. The goals of this study are: To evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SDy) in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) To determine the effects of Vitamin D therapy, with and without hormonal contraceptives, on SDy in women with PCOS in the absence of depression. METHODS: The study will enroll 60 women diagnosed with PCOS and reporting SDy at the Wright State Physicians (WSP) OB-GYN Practice and the WSP Family Medicine Practice. All participants will take vitamin D 600IU/day and will choose between hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptive methods (target of 30 participants in each group). Participants will complete three study visits (Initial, Month 3, and Month 6). Vitamin D levels will be drawn at the beginning of the study and again at 3 and 6 months after initiation of vitamin D therapy. Each participant will be asked to complete the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) prior to initiation of treatment and again at 6 months.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and is a leading cause of infertility due to anovulation. Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are considered as first line medical therapy to regularize menses in woman with PCOS. However they may worsen the metabolic profile of patients by elevating insulin resistance which is already deranged in PCOS. As there is higher prevalence of insulin resistance in Indian women with PCOS, insulin sensitisers like metformin may be more beneficial. Hence this study is undertaken to compare the combined effect of metformin and OCPs on the clinical, hormonal, metabolic and ovarian ultrasonographic characteristics in patients with PCOS and to evaluate whether this combination of drugs is more advantageous than OCPs or metformin alone in improving the clinical and metabolic profile.

This is a 5-week, multi-center, open-label, dose optimization trial in subjects aged 12-17 years with 22q11DS who have a diagnosis of anxiety disorder, and/or ADHD, and/or ASD. Approximately 12 subjects will be initiated, dose optimized, and maintained on NFC-1 over a period of 5 weeks.

The appropriate pressure and duration needed for sustained lung inflation in preterm infants at risk of respiratory distress syndrome have not been well evaluated. We aim for evaluating two different pressures, 20 and 15 cm H2O, for two different duration, 10 and 20 seconds, during the application of sustained lung inflation in the resuscitation of preterm infants with respiratory distress in the delivery room.
