Filter by:This study aims to compare the outcome between genotype guided versus clinical guided approach in selection of oral P2Y12 receptor blocker in Chinese patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome.
The purpose of this open label study is to determine whether combining pracinostat (study drug) with Vidaza (azacitidine) or Dacogen (decitabine) will improve clinical responses in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) patients who have failed an initial single agent hypomethylating agent (HMA), and to provide additional safety and efficacy data.
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of UX007 compared to placebo as measured by the reduction from randomization to Week 8 in frequency of seizures and to evaluate the safety of UX007 via adverse event (AE) rates, laboratory values, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
The purpose of this study is to examine, in a randomized controlled trial, the benefits and costs of the American Heart Association's (AHA) advisory for depression screen and treatment of post-acute coronary syndrome patients.
The aims of the study are to: - explore whether platelet reactivity in patients treated wih novel platelet inhibitors is associated with clinical outcome - investigate whether a therapeutic window exist for novel platelet inhibitors - investigate the incidence of adverse events under treatment with novel platelet inhibitors in the real life clinical scenario - investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms, inflammation, platelet reactivity and clinical outcome - investigate synergistic effects between aspirin and novel platelet inhibitors
This is a registry study, where sites will enter patients with LGS who require a modification in anti-epileptic therapy (either the addition of another anti-epileptic drug, or the change of one drug to another). This will include patients who are started on rufinamide. Patients will be reviewed according to local practice, but it is envisaged that review will occur at approximately one month, three months and six months, and then every six months. Upon entry to the registry baseline details concerning disease severity, diagnosis, prior therapy, and developmental assessment will be recorded. On each subsequent visit the patient (usually through their caregiver) will be asked about current medication, general seizure profile, any seizures deemed to be of medical significance, tolerability, AEs (including suicidal-related events), and healthcare resource utilisation.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of spinal cord stimulation with peripheral nerve field stimulation for the treatment of chronic low back and leg pain.
This is a global prospective, observational, multi-center registry to evaluate the long-term safety profile for participants with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who are treated with teduglutide in a routine clinical setting. The registry will also evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes in participants with SBS. SBS participants treated and not treated with teduglutide will be enrolled.
Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is an inflammatory, autoimmune, multiorgan disease often involving the central and peripheral nervous systems. Fifteen to twenty percent of patients with the primary Sjögren's syndrome have neurological complications involving the peripheral nervous system. Although some patients have large fiber neuropathy, around forty percent of patients with Sjögren's syndrome experience neuropathic pain with normal electrodiagnostic studies. Although these patients may be diagnosed with fibromyalgia or depressive symptoms, some have been shown to have small fiber neuropathy (SFN). A recent study proved that more than 90% of pSS patients with such neuropathic pain have SFN {Fauchais, 2010 #188}. The aim of this study will be to investigate the occurrence of small fiber neuropathy in patients with pSS and neuropathic pain with normal electromyographic studies and to determine the existence of a conjoint local inflammatory process mediated by cellular, cytokinic or auto-antibody response. Quantification of epidermal nerve fiber density after skin biopsy is a valuable tool to diagnose small fiber neuropathy and the method has been widely validated. A skin biopsy will be performed in patients and control and will allow quantification of small fiber density in skin sample along with measurement of sweat gland innervation. Moreover, pathophysiological studies will be carried on in order to evaluate the causal relationship between cellular and humoral inflammation and small fiberneuropathy. Recent studies have pointed out the inconstant efficacy of both corticosteroid and immunosuppressive drugs in pSS-related SFN. Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of small fiber neuropathy in these patients may help designing new therapeutic strategies.
A common complaint among patients with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is "brain fog" or difficulty concentrating. This problem is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to better understand the cognitive dysfunction associated POTS, and to determine optimal treatment strategies for this condition. In this study, the investigators will test the hypothesis that acute administration of the psychostimulant drug modafinil can improve seated measures of cognitive function in patients with POTS.
