Filter by:Researchers are looking for a better way to treat hemophilia A. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder where the body does not create enough of a protein called clotting factor 8 (FVIII) present in the blood. People with hemophilia A may bleed for a long time from minor wounds, have painful bleeding into joints, or have internal bleeding. In severe hemophilia A (clotting factor 8 levels less than 1%) bleedings are more likely to happen. In this study researchers want to learn more about the treatment called BAY94-9027. BAY94-9027 is an injectable medicine used to replace missing clotting factor 8. In BAY94-9027 the clotting factor 8 has been pegylated (combined with a substance called polyethylene glycol (PEG)). This is to make the treatment last longer in the body so that less injections are required. BAY94-9027 is already available for the prevention and treatment of bleeding in adults and children who are 12 years and older. BAY 94-9027 is also called Jivi. BAY94-9027 is not yet available for children aged 7 to less than 12 years. One potential specific risk of pegylated drugs is that proteins in the blood called antibodies are built. These may attach to the pegylation part of the drug and this in turn may lead to allergic reactions and the drug not working as well as it should during first 4 infusions. In studies that have been done so far, this has been seen in some children younger than six years, but not in 29 children aged 6 to less than 12 years treated with BAY94-9027. Further safety information related to how the body reacts to BAY94-9027 is however still needed for this age group. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe BAY94-9027 is (safety) and how it affects the body (tolerability) in previously treated children with severe hemophilia A who are between 7 to less than 12 years. To answer this question, the researchers will study information about two medical problems of special interest, if allergic reactions occur (also called hypersensitivity) and if the drug is not working as well as it should (also called loss of efficacy) during the first 4 infusions. Allergic reactions may range from mild local reactions to widespread effects such as shortness of breath, skin rashes and low blood pressure. Only allergic reactions related to the study treatment will be considered. The assessment if loss of efficacy occurred will be based on the occurrence of bleeding, the clotting factor 8 level in blood after injection called recovery, clotting factor 8 inhibitor tests and measurement of antibodies against the PEG. The study has two parts, A and B. Part A takes 6 months and part B takes 18 months. In part A the participants will receive two injections of BAY94-9027 per week. In part B, the number of injections may be decreased, with up to five days between the injections. The participants in this study will visit the study site around 14 times and will have 15 phone visits. In part A, visit 1 is for screening. Visits 2 to 5 take place twice a week for two weeks. Visit 6 two weeks after visit 5, visits 7 to 10 take place monthly with visit 11 six weeks after visit 10. In part B, site visits will occur on month 9, 12, 18 and 24 and phone calls every month between the site visits. The participants' and their caregivers will record in an electronic patient diary information about when the study treatment was given and bleeding episodes that have happened. During the study, the study doctors and their team will - take blood samples, - do physical examinations, - review the participants' electronic diary - ask questions about the participants' quality of life, - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is a medical problem that happens during the study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in study, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
The aim of our study is to determine whether the use of a tourniquet during TKA would affect total measured blood loss , operation time, postoperative complications; hemoglobin concentration; limb swelling and postoperative pain.
In this randomized controlled study, we aim to compare the efficacy and safety of these two interventions in patients with oxaliplatin-induced gastroesophageal variceal bleeding.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the hemostatic capacity of two types of collagen hemostatic sponges in nail surgery. It is a randomized triple-blind clinical trial with two experimental groups (medium porosity collagen and high porosity collagen) and control group ( non collagen).
Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has become an important tool in clinical practice since its introduction in 2000. This non-invasive method allows the visualization of small bowel mucosa, being essential in the management of many conditions, such as suspected small bowel bleeding, inflammatory bowel diseases and intestinal polyposis syndromes. Despite recommendations concerning SBCE in different pathologies, there are still some technical concerns to be addressed. The optimal preparation for SBCE has been one of these controversial issues. Currently, the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommends that patients ingest a purgative agent (2L of polyethylene glycol, PEG) and antifoaming agents for SBCE, because it was associated with a better visualization. However, it remains unclear which is the optimal timing for purgative use. Furthermore, the use of a booster agent after capsule ingestion is already performed in colon capsule endoscopy, but less is known about its application in SBCE. Also, it remains to be clarified whether a better visualization results in higher diagnostic yield and impacts patients' outcomes. Therefore, the global aim of this prospective, randomized, multi-centric study is to determine the optimal timing and preparation for small-bowel capsule endoscopy (regardless of the equipment used), comparing four groups of different preparation protocols: - Protocol 1) 1L of Moviprep® solution the night before the procedure - Protocol 2) 1L of Moviprep® solution up to 2h before the procedure - Protocol 3) 0.5L of Moviprep® solution up to 2h before the procedure plus 0.5L of Moviprep® solution after the capsule had reached the duodenum (assessed with real-time viewer) - Protocol 4) 1L of Moviprep® solution after the capsule had reached the duodenum (assessed using real-time viewer)
This is a feasibility study trial to determine whether hyperacute (≤8 hour) mechanical Minimal Invasive Surgical (MIS) management is feasible and secondarily improves outcome in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be enrolled and randomized to either minimally invasive hematoma evacuation (MIS) or best medical management alone (MM). Subjects will be randomly assigned by a central web-based system in a 3:1 manner to treatment with MIS or MM. Data for each subject will be collected at the time of enrollment and treatment, and at subsequent follow-up visits.
A randomized, open-labeled, blank-controlled and prospective trial meant to evaluate the use of glibenclamide on acute aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients will allocated randomly in two groups, one for 3.75 mg daily intake of glibenclamide for 7 days and another as a blank contrast. General clinical data and late cognitive status will be accessed in both groups.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a fatal disease with high morbidity and mortality. While the primary injury results from the initial bleeding and cannot be influenced, secondary injury through vasospasms and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) during the course of the disease might be a target for intervention in order to improve outcome. To date, beside the aneurysm treatment to prevent re-bleeding and the administration of oral nimodipine, there is no causal therapy available, so that novel treatment concepts are desperately needed. There are strong indications that inflammation contributes to DCI and therefore poor outcome and plays a major role in SAH. Some studies suggest a beneficial effect of anti-inflammatory drugs like glucocorticoids (GC) in SAH patient, but there are no data from randomized controlled trials proving or disproving the beneficial effect of GC, so that current guidelines do not recommend the use of GC in SAH so far. This multi-center trial aims to generate the first confirmatory data in a controlled randomized fashion that dexamethasone (DEX) improves the outcome in a clinically relevant endpoint in SAH patients. Moreover, this trial will generate first data in a secondary analysis, whether the initial inflammatory state of SAH patients defines a subgroup that particularly responds to a treatment with DEX.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Nimodipine and IV milrinone combination therapy for management of cerebral spasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Dapsone is a drug that has been used clinically for several decades due to its anti-infective effect, making it widely available. Its neuroprotective effects have been found through its glutamate receptors antagonistic effect. Their main objective was to study the neuroprotective properties in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and high-risk factors for the development of cerebral vasospasm. Both the placebo and the dapsone used in this clinical trial were provided by the institution's neurochemistry laboratory.
