Filter by:Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a complex disorder resulting from mutations in a gene encoding the MeCP2 protein. Currently, there are no methods to fix the abnormal gene, however, animal studies suggest that the symptoms of RTT can be treated. Ketamine is a sedative or anesthetic, depending on the dose. The drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is commonly used in children and adults. Animal studies and case reports in humans suggest that ketamine may reduce the symptoms of Rett syndrome. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of ketamine for treating breathing and behavioral symptoms of RTT.
The study's primary objective [in a population of patients with MDS after failure of treatment with azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC)], is to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients in the rigosertib group vs the Physician's Choice group, in all patients and in a subgroup of patients with IPSS-R very high risk.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of linaclotide for the treatment of Irritable Bowel syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), in children age 7-17 years. This study includes up to a 4-week Screening Period, and a 2 to 3-week Pretreatment Period. Patients age 7-11 will receive oral liquid or oral solid capsule and patients 12-17 will receive solid oral capsule formulation. Children ages 7-11 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 3 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. Children ages 12-17 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 4 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. This 4-week study will assess the effects of linaclotide on bowel movement frequency, as well as other bowel symptoms of IBS-C.
A study of the efficacy and safety of Lubiprostone in subjects diagnosed with IBS-M/IBS-U.
The presence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) has a high frequency in patients victims of a coronary artery disease (CAD) (myocardial infarction, revascularization). Unlike patients seen in a sleep Laboratory with an impact on daytime functioning, CAD apneic patients do not complain in their daytime functioning. The objective of this study is to explore whether the objective cognitive assessment measures may be a good marker of the efficacy of CPAP treatment given to non-sleepy apneic CAD patients. Coronary patients with an AHI between 15 and 40 / h will be treated (or not) after randomization with CPAP treatment. The expected results are: CPAP apneic coronary patients should have a positive impact on cognitive performance, particularly on attention span and working memory measured by improvement in the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test score (PASAT score).
Interstitial cystitis/Painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a chronic debilitating condition that severely impacts between 2.7 and 6.5 percent of women in the United States. Despite its public health importance the pathogenesis of IC/PBS is not well understood and there is no consensus on the optimal treatment approach for this condition. Hydrodistention is the most commonly used therapy for this condition; but it is limited by severe immediate postoperative bladder pain and its short duration of action. It has been postulated that hydrodistention works by disrupting the sensory nerves within the bladder that may be contributing to bladder pain. Recent evidence has provided support for the use of preemptive pudendal nerve block as a way to blunt immediate postoperative pain. The investigators hypothesize that preemptive pudendal nerve block prior to hydrodistention will result in lower postoperative pain after hydrodistention compared to placebo. This is a prospective double- blinded randomized study and patients will be randomized to receive preemptive bilateral pudendal nerve block with either 1% lidocaine or placebo. Bladder pain will be compared at baseline, 2 hours, 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months using the Visual Analog Scale, O'Leary-Sant questionnaire and the Pelvic Pain Urgency and Frequency questionnaire.
This study aims to evaluate whether, in a standardised cohort of patients with mild to moderate PTS, monitored for a sufficiently long follow-up period, quality of life measured by generic instruments and disease-specific instruments evolves favourably in this patient profile. Study objective: to evaluate the evolution of quality of life in general and in the specific context of the disease of patients who have experienced an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), are affected by post-thrombotic syndrome, are subject to compression therapy and receive an additional standard venoactive agent (sulodexide 15 mg twice daily during 6 months).
Background: - Research has shown that the drug everolimus can stop cancer cells from growing. It is approved for people with advanced kidney cancer. Researchers want to see if it also helps people with two other types of kidney cancer. Objective: - To see if everolimus is safe and effective in people with Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome (BHD)-associated kidney cancer or sporadic (nonfamilial) chromophobe renal cancer. Eligibility: - People ages 18 and over with BHD-associated kidney cancer or advanced sporadic chromophobe renal cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. - Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their chest/abdomen/pelvis. - They may also be screened with: - Another scan, of the brain or neck. - Bone scan. - Positron emission tomography scan with fludeoxyglucose (FDG-PET). - Heart and lung tests. - Tests for hepatitis. - Participants will take a tablet once a day by mouth for up to a year. They will keep a diary of when they take the tablet and any symptoms. - During the study, participants will have physical exams and urine and blood tests. They will have scans of the chest/abdomen/pelvis. They may have FDG-PET and bone scans. - Participants will have tests for hepatitis and may have a tumor sample taken. - Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks finishing taking the drug. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They may have scans and/or hepatitis tests. - Participants will be called about every 3-6 months after the study ends to see how they are doing
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the long-term safety and efficacy of KCT-0809 in dry eye patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
This is an 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, fixed-dose pilot clinical trial to test the effectiveness of melatonin treatment versus placebo on symptoms of Night Eating Syndrome (NES). The investigators will also look at the effect of melatonin treatment on weight, metabolic parameters and sleep parameters in individuals with NES.
