Primary Objectives: - To assess the efficacy of lademirsen (SAR339375) in reducing the decline in renal function. - To assess the safety and tolerability of lademirsen (SAR339375) in participants with Alport syndrome. Secondary Objectives: - To assess plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the parent compound and its active major metabolite. - To assess the potential formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) following administration of lademirsen (SAR339375). - To assess the pharmacodynamic effect of lademirsen (SAR339375) on miR-21 and on changes in renal injury and function biomarkers.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate plasmatic concentrations of free PGF and sFlt1 for blood samples taken before a first low-molecular-weight-heparin injection and also for blood samples taken on the 4th day of injections (the latter correspond to the first systematic control of platelet counts) in women who have an obstetric antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and who are initiating a new pregnancy with recommended treatment. Our goal is to test the prognostic value of these data on the occurrence of: - pregnancy loss categorized as embryonic loss (before 10 weeks gestation), fetal death (before 20 weeks gestation), stillbirths (from 20 weeks gestation to delivery), and neonatal death defined before reaching 28 days of age. - ischemic placental pathology (pre-eclampsia, retro-placental hematoma, birth of a small-for-gestational-age infant)
Retrospective analysis of ferritin, outcome and HLH-criteria in critically ill patients.
We and others have shown that many younger patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have orthostatic intolerance (OI), i.e., they can't tolerate prolonged standing. OI in ME/CFS is often accompanied by either postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in which standing results in an excessive heart rate, and neurally mediated hypotension (NMH) in which standing causes a fall in blood pressure and fainting. Intravenous fluids can alleviate these symptoms, but is difficult to administer; oral fluids fail to provide the same benefit. We would therefore like to test the effectiveness of an oral rehydration solution (ORS, W.H.O. formula) making use of co-transport of glucose and sodium, to reverse these symptoms in ME/CFS subjects with POTS or NMS, and will compare these results with healthy control subjects.
Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome is a group of inherited abnormalities in the structure of connective tissues, manifested by disturbances in the proportion of collagen. The main symptoms of this syndrome include: laxity of joint capsules and ligaments, hypermobility of the joints, as well as numerous disturbances in the functioning of internal organs that contain connective tissue, including the gastrointestinal tract. Hypermobility of joints affects approximately 10% of the population of Western countries, is more common in small children and female. Modified Beighton scale is the basic scale for assessing hypermobility of joints. The scale (as assessed using the goniometer) is a reliable tool for the evaluation of excessive laxity of the connective tissue in children. Functional constipation is a very common condition, affecting approximately 3-5% of children and adolescents, with peak onset between 2 and 4 years of age. The etiology of this disorder is multifactorial, and till day it is still exactly unknown why some children develop constipation, while in others we can observe the correct scheme of defecation. Suspending stool enhances the retention of fecal masses, which subsequently causes painful defecation. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical symptoms and physical examination. Increased susceptibility of the wall of the distal gastrointestinal tract could explain the predisposition of some children to retain fecal masses and the development of constipation. Due to the unclear etiology of functional constipation, it seems reasonable to conduct a study assessing whether excessive laxity of connective tissue (assessed on the basis of the hypermobility of the joints) facilitates the accumulation of stool in the large intestine, and so is the one of the reasons leading to development of functional constipation in children.
This is an open label, single arm trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of HL2351 in patients with cryopyrin associated periodic syndromes (CAPS).
HDL in obese non-diabetic patients show major alterations in their function and thus their cardio-protective effects. These alterations could be explained by the quantitative and qualitative anomalies in the phospholipids and sphingolipids in the HDL. These molecules play a major role in HDL function and probably present early modifications in obesity, even before the onset of glycaemia deregulation. The aim of this study is to show the presence of qualitative and quantitative modifications of phospholipids and sphingolipids in HDL from obese patients compared with HDL from non-obese controls.
Non-invasive nocturnal ventilation is an effective treatment for chronic respiratory failure, whether due to obstructive (COPD), restrictive or neuromuscular causes, notably for patients in the last two categories for whom it significantly prolongs life expectancy. Overall, the treatment is well tolerated, its principal adverse effects being discomfort related to the mask. In certain patients, morning dyspnoea when the mask is removed has been described. This is disabling as it limits everyday activities for at least 30 minutes, and defines deventilation syndrome. The pathophysiology of this syndrome is uncertain, notably the roles of hyperinflation, patient/ventilator asynchrony, or the sudden increase in diaphragmatic work after a night of rest. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with reventilation syndrome (DS) in a population of patients with ventilation whatever the reason, in a stable state, and followed by the medical devices department of Dijon CHU, so as to better understand the mechanisms. Patients with DS will subsequently be invited to participate in a therapeutic trial.
This study investigates the use of methadone versus morphine wean for the treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome for infants exposed to opioids in utero. Half of infants who require pharmacotherapy for NAS will receive a methadone wean, and half will receive a morphine wean. Length of hospital stay, length of treatment and parent satisfaction will be studied.
