Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

To date, there are no effective therapy for the management of Netherton Syndrome (NS) Patients use emollients with a limited efficacy on scaling and no efficacy on skin inflammation and pruritus. They may also use topical corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors in case of eczematous lesions. The use of therapies targeting skin inflammation has been reported in a few case reports. Their efficacy is very limited and their uses are limited because of the chronicity of the disease, the impaired skin barrier function and the risk for skin infections and skin cancers. Therefore, there is a huge medical need for novel therapies in NS.The expected consequences of this study are that a 16-week course of dupilumab will be more effective than placebo for the treatment of moderate to severe NS Dupilumab could therefore improve skin condition and quality of life.

This phase II trial studies how well canakinumab works for the treatment of low- or intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Canakinumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

This is a two Part study in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that will initially evaluate the safety and tolerability of APG-115 as a single agent in Part 1, followed by a combination of APG-115 + 5-azacitidine (5-AZA) in Part 2.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of KER-050 on anemia in patients with very low, low or intermediate risk MDS.

This trial investigates the use of Daratumumab (DARA), an antibody directed at the human cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) molecule, for the treatment of patients with Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, m Protein Component, Skin Changes (POEMS) syndrome. This trial will enroll ten subjects, who will complete 12 four-week cycles of DARA, in combination with the immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) lenalidomide. Objectives of this study include improvement in neuropathy and performance status, as well as improvement in laboratory values and survival.

This phase I trial studies the best dose of total body irradiation when given with cladribine, cytarabine, filgrastim, and mitoxantrone (CLAG-M) or idarubicin, fludarabine, cytarabine and filgrastim (FLAG-Ida) chemotherapy reduced-intensity conditioning regimen before stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Giving chemotherapy and total body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells called graft versus host disease. Giving cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the long-term safety of glepaglutide treatment in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Glepaglutide is the International Nonproprietary Name and USAN for ZP1848.

Coronary heart disease, including acute coronary syndromes (ACS), is the leading cause of death in European countries. One of the basic elements of secondary and tertiary prevention of ACS is cardiac rehabilitation. The aims of the study are evaluation of the impact of cardiac rehabilitation on health state- especially on cardiovascular function parameters in patients after acute coronary syndrome and evaluation of the influence of the level of gene expression and polymorphisms of genes associated with ischemic heart disease on the course of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after ACS. The study will consist of a retrospective and prospective part. The retrospective part will include patients who have had acute coronary syndrome in the past and then - before being included in the study - have undergone cardiac rehabilitation. In the retrospective part, patients enrolled in the study will not undergo cardiac rehabilitation as a part of the study intervention. The prospective part will include patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome in the past and will undergo cardiac rehabilitation as the study intervention. After being included in the study, patients will undergo medical examination. Then subsequent procedures will be performed: anthropometric measurements; ECG; body composition analysis by bioimpedance; measurement of resting blood pressure, resting heart rate and oxygen saturation of hemoglobin; pulse wave analysis; transthoracic echocardiography of the heart; 24-hour blood pressure measurement by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM); 24-hour ECG recording using the Holter method; electrocardiographic exercise test on a treadmill and / or a six-minute walk test or other exercise test adequate to the patient's state of health; assessment of the quality of the diet; assessment of lifestyle, acceptance of disease and quality of life; assessment of the psychological profile. Subsequently patients taking part in the prospective part of the study will perform a cardiac rehabilitation program. After the cardiac rehabilitation program measurement procedures listed above will be repeated. Before and after the cardiac rehabilitation program blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will be collected. Blood samples, urine samples and hair samples will also be collected from patients taking part in the retrospective part of the study.

To determine if Inositol, a dietary supplement, will improve ovarian and adrenal androgen excess in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with CPX-351 (an FDA approved drug for the treatment of AML) in individuals with MDS while using a new stratification tool to predict outcomes of participants following HMA failure. This approach is intended to gain a better understanding and insight into identifying new opportunities for drug approvals in this setting.
