Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The goal of this project is to see if two new potential treatments (defactinib and the combination tablet of decitabine/cedazuridine) can safely be combined to improve outcomes in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), certain forms of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML). Decitabine/cedazuridine is approved for use by the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) as treatment for MDS. Defactinib is an experimental treatment. This means it is not an approved treatment for MDS in Australia. So far it has been given to over 625 patients in studies across the world. All study participants will receive active treatment, there is no placebo. Participants will take the decitabine/cedazuridine treatment once a day for 5 days in a row (day 1 to day 5) on its own for the first month (cycle). From month 2 participants will take the decitabine/cedazuridine treatment and will also take the defactinib treatment, both for 5 days in a row on days 1 to day 5 each month (cycle). Defactinib is taken twice a day.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common compression neuropathy of upper extremities. Its usual symptoms are pain, numbness and tingling of fingers, which tend to be worse at night. Splinting the wrist with an external orthosis is usually a first-line treatment provided to most people with mild to moderate disease. The FINCROSS trial (randomized cross-over trial) aims to assess the effect of night-time and full-time splinting in comparison with no-treatment. It also aims to identify possible subgroups of people who would benefit from splinting, as well as assess if positive response to splinting is associated with subsequent lower need of surgery. The trial will recruit 110 people with carpal tunnel syndrome in Finland. Each participant will undergo all three treatment periods in a randomised order: 1) splinting at night-time for six weeks, 2) splinting both day and night for six weeks; and 3) be assessed under a six weeks long control period of no-treatment. Each treatment period will be separated with a three-week washout period. Therefore, the whole treatment sequence for each participant lasts 24 weeks after randomization. The participant will be followed-up to 1 year after the randomisation. Additionally, the participants will get instructions for self-administered stretching exercises to perform throughout the study. All participants will be asked to avoid any intervention administered or supervised by medical personnel (such as structured supervised exercises, manual therapy, steroid injections, surgery, etc.).

The purpose of this study is to test whether Lomecel-B™ works in treating patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and to gather additional information about the safety of Lomecel-B. Lomecel-B contains human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as the active ingredient. MSCs are special cells in the body that are able to change into other types of cells, such as heart, blood, and muscle cells. MSCs are found in various tissues of the body, such as the bone marrow, which is the spongy tissue inside of your bones. Lomecel-B uses MSCs from bone marrow of unrelated young healthy donors. These are called "allogeneic", and do not require donor matching to the patient.

The aim of this double-blinded, three-armed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effects of a 6 months treatment with inositol alone or inositol associated with alpha-lipoic acid in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study population is composed of 90 women with PCOS (diagnosed according to the Rotterdam criteria). Subjects are randomized to one of the 3 arms of treatment (Inositol + alpha lipoic acid + folic acid vs inositol + folic acid vs folic acid alone). At recruitment and after 6 months of treatment, the following data are collected: clinical data: height, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference, blood pressure, Ferriman Gallwey Score, menstrual diary endocrine parameters (serum total and free testosterone levels, SHBG levels) metabolic profile: glycemia and insulinemia at fasting and after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum lipids insulin-sensitivity measured by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and surrogate indexes ovarian ultrasound data. Furthermore, ovulation is evaluated from the 2nd to the 6th month of the study through progesterone serial dosages on weekly urinary samples. The primary outcome of the study is the serum free testosterone variation after 6 months of treatment. Secondary outcomes are the variations of lipid profile, ovarian morphology and insulin-sensitivity after 6 months and the number of ovulations occurring in the last 4 months of treatment.

Main objective of this study is to describe and evaluate safety and efficacy of MBG453 (sabatolimab) in combination with FDA approved HMAs of investigator's choice (IV Decitabine or Azacitidine /SC Azacitidine /Oral Decitabine (cedazuridine combination (INQOVI))

This study wants to use a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of receiving acupuncture GB20 or GB20 plus BL2 on alleviating the ocular dryness symptom from dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome. One hundred dry eye syndrome subjects are composed of 50 dry eye syndrome subjects and 50 Sjögren's syndrome' dry eye subjects, and all are randomized into 40 Group GB20 and 40 Group GB20 plus BL2 (GBL), and 20 Group Waiting list; while we also include 20 healthy controls. Fifty dry eye syndrome subjects are randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list in first year; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. And we could use the Whole-genome genotyping, oral microbiota, Schirmer's test, Tear breakup time, Cytokines, OSDI, TCM pattern, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis, TCM pulse diagnosis, and TCM heart rate variability for this purpose. In second year, another 50 dry eye syndrome subjects are also enrolled and randomized into randomized into 20 Group GB20, 20 Group GBL and 10 Group Waiting list; while both Group GB20 or GBL received acupuncture twice a week 8 weeks for efficacy evaluation with above outcome measurements, and 10 Group Waiting list receive no any acupuncture treatment. Meanwhile, we also include 20 healthy controls, and we want to find the difference with the comparison between the dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control in second year. Through the analysis for dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, we could find the biomarker to differentiate dry eye syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome and healthy control. In the future, this work could be applied for screening and diagnosis of pre-dry eye syndrome and Sjögren's syndrome, and this integrated TCM with Western Medicine plan could be applied for the goal of holistic health care.

The aim is to study another alternative for the treatment of pain in people with CRPS. Indeed, the TRAB / Medullary occupational therapy department of the CMRRF in Kerpape used compression garments to reduce edema when it was present.In the case of CRPS of the upper limbs, gloves or compression sleeves are used to decrease the edema which is sometimes associated, although they are not supported for this indication. In this context, our clinical experience leads us to believe that there would also be some efficacy in neuropathic pain, this improvement being regularly described by patients.This study is expected to show a notable reduction in neuropathic pain thanks to the wearing of a compression garment.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common conditions diagnosed in gastroenterology practice. Acute infectious gastroenteritis represents the strongest known risk factor for IBS development; a condition known as post-infection IBS (PI-IBS). PI-IBS patients are more likely than sporadic IBS patients to exhibit a diarrhea-predominant phenotype. The investigators plan to prospectively recruit two groups of patients: patients with diarrhea-predominant post-infectious IBSand patients with diarrhea predominant classical IBS (non PI-IBS) who will be used as controls. Patients included in the study will receive for 28 days a capsule containing Tamarind seed polysaccharide containing xyloglucan, combined with a pea protein reticulated with grape seed extractand a prebiotic, the xilooligosaccharide (Gelsectan, Devintec Sagl) twice daily.

This phase II trials studies the effect of treosulfan-based versus clofarabine-based conditioning regimens before donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, fludarabine, and clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor hematopoietic 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. This study may help doctors determine whether treosulfan-based or clofarabine-based conditioning regimen works better before donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of CC-95251 alone and in combination with antineoplastic agents in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia and relapsed or refractory and treatment-naive higher risk melodysplastic syndromes.
