Filter by:This study is to test the feasibility and tolerability of the metoprolol optimal dosing pathway by observing the percentage of patients achieving target dose followed the pathway on ACS patients during hospitalization.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen in low- and intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients who receive haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Haplo-HSCT is an effective treatment option for MDS patients who did not have identical sibling donor (ISD) or unrelated donor (URD). However, post-transplant transplant-related mortality (TRM) is one of the major causes for transplant failure in MDS patients, and the risk of TRM for haplo-HSCT recipients was higher than that of ISD recipients. RIC regimen can decrease the risk of TRM for haplo-HSCT recipients; however, the risk for relapse may increase in these patients. Thus, RIC regimen may be more appropriate for low- and intermediate-risk MDS patients receiving haplo-HSCT. The study hypothesis: Using RIC haplo-HSCT regimen in patients with low- and risk MDS can reduce TRM and improve survival.
Ultrasound study focused on salivary gland outcomes in Sjogren's subjects
The purpose of this data registry is to prospectively collect data from patients referred to an Complex Chronic Diseases Program (CCDP) at BC Women's Hospital + Health Centre to assess the quality of life of the CCDP Patients before, during and after their care at the CCDP.
We propose to study the use of purified porcine Acthar Gel (ACTHAR, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals) for treatment of steroid resistance nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in a prospective pilot study. We plan to enroll 25 children between the ages of 2 to 21 years. Children fulfilling strict inclusion criteria, whose parents agree to written informed consent after institutional IRB approval for the study, will be enrolled. Purified porcine Acthar Gel will be administered SQ to all children using a defined treatment protocol for a period of six months. Renal function, urine protein excretion, serum albumin levels, blood pressure and growth parameters will be monitored closely on all patients. Baseline urine protein excretion will be compared to end of treatment levels to determine successful response to therapy. There will be an 18 month enrollment period, 6 month treatment period and a 12 month follow-up period.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant helps stop the growth of leukemia cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may achieve brand new hematopoietic recovery. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells, resulting in graft versus-host disease. PURPOSE: This study is to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation conditioning when given together with combination chemotherapy and allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute leukemia.
This is a repeated dose, open label trial investigating safety, efficacy, PD and PK of FE 203799 in 8 patients with SBS. The patients will receive a subcutaneous (SC) dose of 5 mg FE 203799 once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks, and efficacy parameters and PK will be assessed after the fourth dose. Safety follow up assessments will be performed 4-6 weeks after the last dose.
This study aims to assess the relationship between overall satisfaction with treatment in a group of randomized patients undergoing elective hand surgery using either absorbable (4-0 Chromic) or non-absorbable (5-0 Nylon) sutures. The investigators will also assess factors associated with wound concerns, pain intensity, magnitude of limitations, and physical function within one month of surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 10 week exercise rehabilitation program decreases anterior knee oain (PFPS) and improves function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Individuals (age 18-50) with PFPS will be recruited to participate in this study to see if a 10 week exercise program focusing in core and hip strengthening, lower extremity strengthening foot intrinsic strengthening can decrease pain and increase function.
The objectives of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility and safety of intramyocardial injection of autologous c-kit+ cells during the Stage II BDCPA operation and to observe effects on clinical outcome including right ventricular myocardial function, severity of tricuspid regurgitation, incidence of serious adverse events, re-hospitalizations, changes in health status, the need for transplantation, or mortality.
