To investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of clobazam when administered for 1 year as adjunctive therapy in paediatric patients aged ≥1 to ≤16 years with Dravet Syndrome.
This is a first in human, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamics of repeat doses of KHK2823.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ZGN-440 (beloranib) in obese adolescent and adult subjects with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group clinical trial with adaptive dose selection in subjects with post-polio syndrome (PPS). The main purpose of this study is to select a dose of Flebogamma 5% DIF and confirm the efficacy of the selected Flebogamma® 5% DIF dose by assessing physical performance, as measured by Two-Minute Walk Distance (2MWD) test. The study will consist of 2 stages, with each stage consisting of a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a treatment period (52 weeks), and a follow-up period (24 weeks).
Many metabolic complications can develop after liver transplant including: diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart attacks and stroke. The goal of this study is to look at the safety and effect of 2 well known and established diet regimens on the people who had a prior liver transplant and investigate whether it helps with the control of these comorbidities.
This study attempts to study a new ventilation mode in children with Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite decades of research, no intervention has brought about a significant decrease in ARDS mortality. Moreover, most of the studies are adult-based and have been extrapolated to children. Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) mode is hypothesized to be superior in terms of lower need for sedation, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, etc. It is unique and the first worldwide randomized controlled trial on APRV mode in children. We plan to recruit a minimum of 50 children aged (1 month-12 years) in each group. The study is to be conducted at the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh between March 2014 to March 2016. This trial would recruit children with respiratory failure and early ARDS and, randomize them to receive either conventional ventilation or the APRV mode. Rest of the supportive care has also been protocolized so that both groups receive treatment as per the existing best practices in every aspect. The primary outcome being studied is the number of ventilator-free days. The secondary outcomes include length of PICU stay, hospital stay, organ-failure free days, 28 day & 3 month survival, biomarkers of lung injury (IL-6, IL-8, Angiopoeitin-2, soluble-ICAM-1, etc), functional status, Pulmonary function tests, etc. Funding request would be sent to the Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi, India. Assessing lung biomarkers like Interleukin-6 would assess the role of different modes of ventilation in acting as triggers for multi-organ dysfunction as well as for worsening lung injury. This pathbreaking research is likely to open up new avenues upon completion.
In this study, newborn babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), receiving oxygen via nasal continuous airway pressure (CPAP) modalities, and needing surfactant treatment will be randomized to standard delivery of surfactant via and endotracheal tube airway (inserted after pre-medication for pain with a short-acting narcotic), or to surfactant delivery via laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The intent is to remove the airways and return babies to non-invasive CPAP support, after surfactant is given. The primary outcome measure is the rate of failure of initial surfactant therapy. Standardized failure criteria are reached: a) early, if the baby is unable to be placed back on non-invasive CPAP (i.e., needs tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation) or, b) late, if the baby requires ventilation, retreatment with surfactant within 8 hours or more than 2 doses of surfactant. The objective of this protocol is to reduce the need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in preterm neonates with RDS needing rescue surfactant therapy by instilling surfactant though an LMA, while achieving comparable efficacy of surfactant treatment. The hypothesis is that surfactant treatment through an LMA will decrease the proportion of babies with RDS who require mechanical ventilation or subsequent intubation, when compared to standard surfactant treatment following endotracheal intubation with sedation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Botulinum Toxin-A (Botox) injection will improve symptoms of constipation in obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS).
Eltrombopag olamine (SB-497115-GR) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that may be beneficial in medical disorders associated with thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in patients with thrombocytopenia from various etiologies (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP], liver disease, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia). Approximately 350 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (175 into the eltrombopag arm and 175 into the placebo arm). Approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled into the azacitidine. Subjects with intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high risk MDS by IPSS, and baseline platelet count of <75 Giga (10^9) per liter (Gi/L) will only be enrolled. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the platelet supportive care effects of eltrombopag versus placebo in combination with the standard of care hypomethylating agent, azacitidine. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of eltrombopag versus placebo on the proportion of subjects who are platelet transfusion free during the first 4 cycles of azacitidine therapy. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease response, and disease progression.
