The CPASMA trial is a descriptive, prospective, multicentre clinical trial, with a before/after Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) assessment in participating patients. It aims to answer the following question: Is there an improvement in asthma in those patients with both asthma and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) treated with CPAP after six months?. It is hypothesized that treatment of OSAS with CPAP in patients with both OSAS and asthma concommitantly, may have a beneficial effect also on asthma outcomes. This clinical effect in asthma could be assessed objectively by applying validated questionnaires for quality of life and asthma control.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common scenario in intensive care unit. Discussions about it is exponentially growing up due its high mortality rates all over the world and low quality of life among survivors. Mechanical ventilation is recognized to play an important role in treatment of patients with ARDS. However, mechanical ventilation itself has the potential to produce or worsen alveolar injury if inadequate strategies are chosen. Several studies compared different mechanical ventilation strategies in ARDS but the results remain uncertain regarding their influence on survival in patients with ARDS. Thus, this is a multicentric randomized controlled trial, with allocation concealment and intention to treat analysis to investigate if maximum alveolar recruitment maneuver in association to Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titrated by static compliance of respiratory system (ART strategy) is able to increase 28 days survival in patients with moderate to severe ARDS compared to conventional strategy proposed by the ARDS Clinical Network (ARDSNet strategy). Patients considered to this trial are those in mechanical ventilation with diagnosis of moderate to severe ARDS less than 72hours. Patients included will be randomized to receive ART strategy or ARDSNet strategy and will be followed until hospital discharge, 28 days and 6 months.
EPICOR-RUS is a multi-centre, observational, prospective, longitudinal cohort study which will include patients, in a real-life setting, who are hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) within 24 hours of symptom onset and who have a final diagnosis of Unstable Angina (UA), ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) or Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Patients will undergo clinical assessments and receive the standard medical care as determined by the treating cardiologist. Patients will not receive experimental intervention or experimental treatment as a consequence of their participation in the EPICOR-RUS observational study.
This is an open-label, multi-center study, investigating the efficacy and safety of terlipressin in Japanese patients with hepatorenal syndrome type 1.
Compassionate use of orphan drug 3,4-Diaminopyridine(DAP) in Treatment of Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS). 3,4-DAP is used to decrease the muscle weakness associated with LEMS and hopefully will decrease the need for prednisone and all other therapies that were previously required to control symptoms. How long a patient will take 3,4 DAP depends upon if he/she is seeing benefits from the medication or experiencing side effects that will prevent them from continuation in the study.
The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of soy dietary fiber in adults with diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome.
The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in patients with inherited metabolic disorders.
This is a compassionate use study. In addition to providing compassionate use access to mifepristone, objectives of the study will be to evaluate the safety and utility of mifepristone in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of endogenous Cushing's syndrome when given on a compassionate use basis. The study will only enroll subjects whose physicians have determined that medical treatment is needed to control the symptoms or signs of hypercortisolemia.
A majority of patients with multiple sclerosis initially presents with a single demyelinating event, e.g. in the optic nerves, brain, brainstem or spinal cord, referred to as a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). Not all patients with CIS get a relapse and develop multiple sclerosis but in those patients who do, irreversible damage of the central nervous system, e.g. axonal damage, is already detectable in that early stage of disease. Early initiation of immunomodulatory therapy is crucial for patients with clinically isolated syndrome who are at high risk for the development of multiple sclerosis. Vice versa identification of low risk patients could help to avoid an unnecessary therapy. In this prospective observational study we want to follow up patients with CIS and early multiple sclerosis over a period of four years and obtain clinical, laboratory and MRI - data in order to identify risk factors for relapses, prognostic factors and therapy response markers.
