Filter by:This study will determine if administration of an suspension of calfactant, a lung surfactant, intratracheally in patients with Direct Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome within 48 hours of requiring mechanical ventilation can decrease the mortality in patients with lethal disease and shorten the course of respiratory failure in patients with sub-lethal disease.
Levobupivacaïne (Chirocaine®) is a new local anaesthetic recently marketed in France. The goal of this prospective work is to study the pharmacokinetic aspect of this drug after injection around the sciatic nerve (subgluteal way).
This is a multi-center, open-label, extension study of patients with late infantile MLD who have previously completed clinical study HGT-MLD-048 (NCT00633139), defined as the completion of all Week 52 procedures. This group of patients will be offered ongoing treatment with HGT-1111 in this protocol. One infusion will be given every other week until the product is commercially available, the patient discontinues, or the study is terminated by the Sponsor, provided no safety issues have emerged.
This study will compare olmesartan medoxomil to candesartan cilexetil in reducing BNP, a prognostic biomarker of heart failure, at week 24
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to elevate platelet counts thereby reducing the need for platelet transfusions in chronic liver disease patients with thrombocytopenia undergoing elective invasive procedures. The clinical benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who avoid platelet transfusions, before, during and up to 7 days after undergoing an invasive procedure. In addition, bleeding events will be monitored during this time. The number of transfusions, safety events and medical resource utilisation will be monitored during this time and for up to 30 days after undergoing an invasive procedure to help further evaluate clinical benefit.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate a reduction of intrahepatic fat as measured with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy after 12 weeks administration of oral acarbose. The study will also examine the hypothesis of whether the chronic administration of acarbose in patients with NAFLD will influence postprandial substrate metabolism reflected in the RQ measured by indirect calorimetry.
Emphysema is a lung disease that involves damage to the air sacs in the lungs and can lead to breathing difficulties. Treatment options for people with emphysema include pulmonary rehabilitation, lung volume reduction surgery, and lung transplantation. This study will observe people with emphysema to assess the effect of these treatment therapies on their quality of life and long-term health.
Most people undergoing lung transplantation have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a disease in which the lung airways are partly damaged and obstructed, making it difficult to breathe. This study will enroll people with COPD who are undergoing a lung transplant to examine how their quality of life changes after the transplant procedure.
RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by interfering with various proteins needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), can block cancer growth in different ways. GO finds cancer cells and helps kill them by carrying a cancer-killing substance to them. Giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and explore the efficacy of a single intraoperative injection of 4975 in patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff repair of the shoulder
