Filter by:Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a rare genetic disease that is associated with oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding, granulomatous colitis, and pulmonary fibrosis in some subtypes, including HPS-1, HPS-2, and HPS-4. Pulmonary fibrosis causes shortness of breath and progressive decline in lung function. In HPS patients with at-risk subtypes, almost all adults eventually develop fatal pulmonary fibrosis unless they undergo lung transplantation. The purpose of this study is to identify the earliest measurable pulmonary disease activity in individuals at-risk for HPS pulmonary fibrosis. The study also aims to develop biomarkers that will aid in understanding of the causes of HPS pulmonary fibrosis and facilitate more rapid conduct of therapeutic trials in HPS patients with mild pulmonary disease in the future.
Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) is the neuropathological term for a collection of rare neurodegenerative diseases that correspond to four main overlapping clinical syndromes: frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy syndrome (PSPS). The goal of this study is to build a FTLD clinical research consortium to support the development of FTLD therapies for new clinical trials. The consortium, referred to as Advancing Research and Treatment for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ARTFL), will be headquartered at UCSF and will partner with six patient advocacy groups to manage the consortium. Participants will be evaluated at 14 clinical sites throughout North America and a genetics core will genotype all individuals for FTLD associated genes.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of oral eleclazine (formerly GS-6615) on corrected QT (QTc) interval in participants with long QT2 syndrome.
Colpermin ® (Peppermint oil) is used in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome but Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) isn't native in Iran. So in this study the Enteric-Coated of Anise-oil will formulate and use in treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with pain and bloating.
The dose-confirming part of this study, comprising at least 10 patients is designed as a single center, prospective, single arm, open label in patients who have failed or are unresponsive to Azacitidine (AZA) or Decitabine (they may also have additionally failed an Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA) followed by a dose expansion part with at least 44 patients; the objective of the whole study being to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenously infused multiple doses of OPN-305 in low and intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndrome (second and third line Lower risk MDS).
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with reverse transcriptase inhibitors returns the interferon signature observed in patients with AGS to normal levels.
The study is based on the assumption that in the Overlap Syndrome, the introduction at home of the NIV is as effective in terms of compliance and clinical and gazometric improvement, and life quality, that setting hospital start up. The investigators will study the initiation of NIV at home versus in hospital in two randomized Overlap Syndrome patient groups. The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the initiation of the NIV at home versus hospital in terms of compliance.

Irritable bowel syndrome is common. Currently, it is a diagnosis of exclusion. There is increasing evidence of the importance of the microbiota in the pathophysiology of this disorder. However, it has been challenging to measure the "activity" of the microbiota in vivo as much of the GI tract is inaccessible. Fermentation by the microbiota occurs in the colon, a by product of which are short chain fatty acids. Measuring pH in the colon could potentially act as a surrogate marker of fermentation. The investigators are undertaking a randomised controlled trial in patients with IBS measuring the pH in the digestive tract using a wireless motility capsule at baseline and in response to dietary changes in patients with diarrhoea predominant IBS and in response to linaclotide in those with constipation predominant IBS to ascertain the effect of these interventions on the microbiota and clinical outcomes.
Aim: To identify psychological and socioeconomic predictors of cardiac-rehabilitation (CR) attendance and uncover mechanisms of CR non-attendance. Design: Quantitative, observational, prospective study. Hypothesis a: Educational-level, comorbidity, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, cohabitation and distance from residence are predictors of CR attendance. Hypothesis b: The expected social gradient in CR attendance is explained partly by differential exposure of comorbidity, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, cohabitation and distance to the rehabilitation clinic.
