Filter by:This randomized phase II trial is studying how well megestrol works in treating patients with endometrial neoplasia or endometrial hyperplasia. Estrogen can cause the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Hormone therapy using megestrol may fight endometrial cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the abnormal cells.
Phase III, Randomized, double-blind, parallel placebo-controlled study. Two arms: MCS (30mg/day) vs. placebo. Subproject MCS-2: alpha-blocker naïve subjects Subproject MCS-3: subjects responding poorly to alpha-blocker
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of Alfuzosin compared with placebo, for 7 days, on the outcome of patients with uretheric stones submitted to Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), namely in the percentage of patients without imagiologic evidence of any stone after 72h to 96 hours. This study will also specifically focus on the evaluation of time of stone clearance and of pain reduction (Numeric Rating Scale).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lonidamine (50mg, 150mg) compared to placebo in subjects with symptomatic BPH.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the study drug Dutasteride taken before and after Laser TURP(Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), can provide effective and safe, long term improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dutasteride at reducing relapse rates of Acute Urinary Retention (AUR), including reduction in surgical intervention for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in patients who receive a 6 month treatment of dutasteride (0.5mg once daily) following a single episode of AUR followed by successful Trial Without Catheter compared with placebo.
Although ionizing radiations have been proposed for the prevention of intimal hyperplasia in coronary and peripheral arteries, information is lacking on how irradiation may prevent neointimal smooth-muscle cell proliferation and restenosis on prosthetic haemodialysis vascular access. We will assess the preventive effect of one dose of radiations (14 Gy) administered transcutaneously one day after dilatation of stenosis on prosthetic haemodialysis vascular access in a randomized controlled trial with a standardized clinical and ultrasonographic one-year follow-up.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the dose response relationship of lonidamine and the primary efficacy endpoint, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), in subjects with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Many options currently exist to relieve the symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). At present, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) serves as the surgical standard to which all other operative treatments are compared. Although TURP provides excellent short and long-term results, this procedure has many potential risks and complications. The desire to avoid the potential risks of TURP and still achieve results of comparable durability has led to the development of alternative surgical procedures. One such surgical alternative in the treatment of BPH is holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP). HoLAP has been compared to TURP in a randomized clinical trial with comparable outcomes in both uroflow rate and symptom score improvements (Mottet, et al 1999). Use of the holmium laser in treating BPH provides specific advantages over TURP. The risk of dilutional hyponatremia is eliminated, as the holmium laser can be used in conjunction with a normal saline irrigant. In addition, the hemostatic properties of the holmium laser results in superior hemostasis, thus minimizing the risk of bleeding. HoLAP has been utilized for prostate glands up to 60 grams in volume, as larger glands become more inefficient to treat using a tissue vaporization technique. Recently, another laser technology has been introduced for the surgical treatment of BPH, the potassium titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser. This modality can also be used to vaporize obstructive prostate tissue, and has been studied through single arm clinical studies. Short-term results are promising, with significant improvements in voiding symptoms and urine flow rates as well as minimal associated morbidity. However, to date a randomized comparison study between HoLAP and KTP laser vaporization of the prostate has not been reported. A group of investigators with extensive experience with both procedures intends to objectively compare these two procedures in a randomized clinical trial.
This trial is aimed to study the efficacy of 4 weekly cycles of rituximab in HIV-infected patients with multicentric Castleman disease (giant lymph node hyperplasia) dependent on chemotherapy. Efficacy is assessed by the complete response rate at day 60. The patients are followed until day 365.
