Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The research purpose is to determine if thymus transplantation with immunosuppression is a safe and effective treatment for complete DiGeorge anomaly. The research includes studies to evaluate whether thymus transplantation results in complete DiGeorge anomaly subjects developing a normal immune system.

The purpose of the study is to explore the potential usefulness of a heated lidocaine 70 mg/tetracaine 70 mg topical patch for the treatment of pain associated with shoulder impingement syndrome

This is an open label, multicenter Phase 1 dose escalation study evaluating five doses of ezatiostat in combination with lenalidomide in patients with non-del(5q) low to intermediate 1 risk MDS. The HI-E, HI-N, HI-P rates [by International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria] and safety of each treatment group will be evaluated to select the optimal dose of ezatiostat in combination with lenalidomide for future studies.

Background and objective: To determine the efficacy of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and its effects upon intubation rate and mortality in ARDS.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of rosuvastatin therapy on plasma lipid profile (Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol, triglyceride) in patients with metabolic syndrome.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of injecting steroid into the carpal tunnel in relieving symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome for at least 1 year with outcomes measured with patient evaluated symptoms score.Out of the patients referred by primary care, those with a clinical diagnosis of CTS who have tried wrist splint and whose symptom severity is judged by the examining surgeon to warrant surgery are offered to be put on the waiting list for carpal tunnel release. This means a waiting time of approximately 3 months. Patients who give informed consent will be asked to attend the outpatient clinic for a physical examination followed by allocation to one of the three trial groups. Immediately following the allocation the patients will receive the assigned treatment.

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of using the demethylating agent 5-Azacytidine prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

In this randomized controlled study in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) we plan to compare the effects of a structured patient group education (IBS school) with receiving only written information in the form of a IBS-guidebook. The effects of the interventions on GI and psychological symptom severity, knowledge and quality of life will be assessed with validated questionnaires at baseline and 3 and 6 months after the intervention.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether eculizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of adolescent patients with plasma therapy-sensitive Atypical Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (aHUS).

This multicenter, randomized, open-label exploratory study will be performed in approximately 200 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but otherwise healthy females undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Each study center will follow its standard practice for in vitro fertilization (IVF) within the study parameters as noted in this protocol. The study centers will use marketed products purchased from Schraft's Pharmacy for all phases of the study (down-regulation, stimulation, ovulation induction, and luteal support). Subjects will be randomly assigned to highly purified menotropin (Menopur®) or follitropin beta (Follistim Pen®) for stimulation and progesterone vaginal insert (Endometrin®) or progesterone in oil for luteal support. Subjects will return to the study center for regular scheduled clinic visits as required per in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocol at the site and at specified times during the cycle (Stimulation Day 6, Day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and first serum pregnancy test) for estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) labs. All subjects will be required to complete a final study visit at completion of luteal support or negative serum pregnancy test following embryo transfer.
