Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

This study investigates the safety and tolerability of Nintedanib in patients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. All study patients with BOS will be treated with the study drug Nintedanib (300 mg/day) as an add-on therapy to their basic immunosuppressive treatment over a 12-months treatment period.

We hypothesized that ticagrelor monotherapy might be enough to prevent thromboembolic events without aspirin after PCI in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Moreover, ticagrelor monotherapy will reduce bleeding risk compared to DAPT with aspirin plus ticagrelor. We will also evaluate 1-year safety and efficacy of Orsiro stent for patient with acute coronary syndrome. After confirmation of enrollment, patients will be randomized to continue standard treatment (aspirin plus ticagrelor) for 1 year or to stop aspirin after discharge or less than 1 month after PCI (ticagrelor monotherapy). Randomization will be stratified according to 1) the presence of diabetes and 2) ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI). Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics, laboratory findings will be assessed at the time of randomization. All patients will provide informed consent on their own initiative.

This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib works in treating patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome or primary eosinophilic disorders.

In this trial, the investigators will begin to explore the possibility that, as in mice, janus kinase inhibitor 1 (JAK1) inhibition with haploidentical-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) may mitigate graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) while retaining Graft-versus-Leukemia (GVL) and improving engraftment. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety of itacitinib with haplo-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) measured by the effect on engraftment and grade III-IV GVHD.

The NATIENS study is a phase III randomized study to examine the optimal treatment and mechanisms of each of two treatments (cyclosporine 5 mg/kg bid for 14 days versus etanercept 50 mg subcutaneously at day 0 and day 3) versus the current standard of care which is harmonized supportive care for the treatment of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). SJS/TEN is typically a drug-induced disease in adults with a mortality of up to 50% or higher in elderly adults. Although progress has been made in elucidating strong genetic risk factors that have led to pre-prescription screening and prevention the risk factors for most drugs and ethnicities represented in the United States are currently unknown. Currently there are a number of small observational studies and a non-blinded small randomized study however there is no strong or definitive evidence base to support any one treatment intervention over supportive care alone and this remains considered a standard of care for SJS/TEN. The primary objective of the study is to conduct a randomized double-blind double dummy stratified multicenter phase III study across 24 sites across the Unites States to determine whether two therapeutic interventions (etanercept versus cyclosporine) will improve short-term outcomes associated with SJS/TEN. The primary hypothesis of this study is that both etanercept and cyclosporine will show benefit over supportive care alone and that single dose etanercept 50 mg sc at days 0 and repeated 72 hours following initial dosing will show significant benefit over cyclosporine 5 mg/kg bid and supportive care alone. Our secondary outcomes are to determine the clinical outcomes at 3 and 12 months following initial presentation and to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms of SJS/TEN through collection of timed samples to include DNA, RNA, PBMCs, blister cells and supernatant and skin. We hypothesize that patients will have significant sequelae identified at 3 and 12 months that will differ between treatment arms and that treatment interventions will significantly impact cytotoxic and cytokine signals with these biomarkers correlating with primary and secondary outcome. We also hypothesize that significant genetic associations will be found in association with drug-induced SJS/TEN. Eligible patients are >/= 18 who meet evidence for SJS/TEN clinical criteria as evidence by erythematous/dusky macules coalescing or denuded skin and blistering with positive Nikolsky sign which is mandatory criteria associated with mucous membrane involvement, prodromal symptoms including fever, myalgia and headache, increasing number of lesions and history of a medication. To continue with the study patients must meet pathological criteria. Randomization will occur by a secure central online computer-generated random number system through REDCap. Subjects will be allocated 1:1:1 to cyclosporine plus best supportive care, etanercept plus best supportive care or best supportive care alone. Patients, treating physician and outcome assessors will be blinded to the allocated treatment. The primary outcome of the study is time to complete re-epithelialization as defined by complete absence of erosion and compromised skin. Time to expected re-epithelialization of 21 days is the maximum healing time with supportive care in SJS/TEN patients which reflects the healing time of adult skin. The primary outcome will be independently assessed by the treating team to include any of a burn surgeon, dermatologist or wound specialist. Disagreement will be solved by independent adjudication by a minimum of two reviewers. Patients who have to discontinue a study medication will be analyzed by intent-to-treat analysis and followed for complications of SJS/TEN as per study protocol. Secondary outcomes of the study include: 1)time to halting of progression of SJS/TEN skin disease. Progression will be considered significant if there are any new blisters or erosions and halting of progression is defined as absence of these criteria with any new lesions; 2) all-cause mortality at 30 days, 3 months and 1 year following symptoms onset; 3) composite cause-specific mortality - outcome including death from sepsis, multi-organ failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome; 4) actual mortality versus expected mortality (as calculated by SCORTEN); 5) Time to cessation of acute ocular involvement (this will be tracked by the same serial photography evaluated by two independent Ophthalmology experts in SJS/TEN eye disease; 6) incidence of infections; 7) hospital length of stay; 8) adverse events due to therapy; 9) serial plasma granulysin, IL-15 concentrations (and other relevant biomarkers);10) Follow-up 3 months and 1 year from initial presentation for physical and mental health complications. For aims 2 and 3 a number of mechanistic studies will be performed on paired samples (DNA, RNA, PBMCs, plasma, blister fluid and skin).

The aim of the current study is to assess the efficacy of TMS in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). It is hypothesized that participants who receive TMS (Group 1) relative to sham treatment (Group 2) once daily for two days will demonstrate a greater improvement in CRPS-related pain and other associated symptomology (i.e., cognitive, emotional and physical) compared to baseline. Participants will be followed until they reach their baseline for two consecutive weeks to assess safety and duration of symptom alleviation.

This is a prospective phase II clinical study planned to be conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). After meeting the study criteria and enrollment, patients will be treated with a cladribine based salvage regimen and followed at periodic intervals to determine the primary and secondary objectives.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab and ipilimumab after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that does not respond to treatment or has come back. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This study is a randomized assessor-blind controlled trial. A total of 1,100 women with PCOS will be recruited from 28 hospitals and randomly allocated into four groups: personalized acupuncture, fixed acupuncture, letrozole or placebo letrozole. Patients will receive treatment for 16 weeks and the primary outcome is live birth.

patients with MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) and mutated IDH2 patients will be treated with AG221 (IDH2 inhibitor)
