Filter by:The International Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes registry study in Transitional Countries (ISACS-TC) is both a retrospective and prospective study which was designed in order to obtain data of patients with acute coronary syndromes, and herewith control and optimize internationally guideline-recommended therapies in these countries Further study details as provided by the CINECA http://isacs-ct.cineca.org/
A clinically applicably strategy for molecular screening for Lynch Syndrome has been implemented in the Region of Southern Denmark. Based on sequential analysis with immunohistochemistry and methylation analysis, patients with possible hereditary colorectal cancer are identified. These patients are offered genetic risk assessment and counselling. The study hypothesis is that molecular screening will identify more patients with Lynch Syndrome than the family history alone. Prospective data collection is performed using established clinical databases.
The NET-SCA Registry has been designed to document and evaluate the clinical epidemiology and current management of Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Lazio Region of Italy.
Background: - Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses that produce episodes of inflammation such as fever, rash, or joint swelling. Some of these diseases can be treated with medications that block the body's reaction to a protein called IL-1, which may be part of the cause of the inflammation. IL-1 blocking agents are very helpful in treating autoinflammatory diseases and have become the standard of care for treatment for some of these diseases. However, more research is needed on related diseases that may be treated with new and currently used IL-1 blocking agents. - XOMA 052 is an experimental drug that is currently being tested as a possible treatment for type 2 diabetes. Initial studies have shown that XOMA 052 neutralizes a specific kind of IL-1, and is also active against certain indicators of inflammation. Researchers are interested in determining whether XOMA 052 can be used to treat autoinflammatory and related diseases. Objectives: - To determine the effectiveness of XOMA 052 as a treatment for inflammation in adults with the autoinflammatory diseases Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)/Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) and Behcet's Disease. Eligibility: - FCAS/ MWS: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a known history of the typical disease. - Behcet's Disease: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have evidence of active disease, such as oral or genital ulcers or eye disease. Design: FCAS/MWS Participants - Participants will have an overnight evaluation of their disease, including optional tests (e.g., eye or skin exams). Participants who currently take medications to treat their symptoms will stop taking the medication and will be monitored by study researchers. At the first flare of symptoms, participants will begin to receive XOMA 052. - Participants will have further tests on days 3, 7, and 10 after the initial dose of XOMA 052. If the disease remains under good control, participants will have a clinical exam every 5 days for up to 10 weeks until another disease flare occurs (determined either by symptoms or by inflammation observed in laboratory studies). If the disease is not well controlled with the initial dose of XOMA 052, participants will have additional doses starting at day 7 until either the disease is controlled or researchers determine that the medication is not effective. - Participants will have the option to continue XOMA 052 treatments for up to 1 year. XOMA 052 wil...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KCT-0809 compared to placebo in patients with dry eye syndromes.
The objectives of this study are to explore the effects of administering high-dose corticosteroids to participants who developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) while on natalizumab as measured by time-course change in functional status based on Karnofsky Performance Status Index through 6 months following the completion of plasma exchange (PLEX; or equivalent), survival at 6 months following the completion of PLEX (or equivalent), and incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs); to characterize the evolution of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) as measured by time course changes in Global Clinical Impression of Improvement (GCI-I), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), chemokines, cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP), John Cunningham virus (JCV) load and cell count in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); and to characterize the time course elimination of serum natalizumab concentrations in the study population following the last PLEX (or equivalent) procedure.
This is a combination study to evaluate sapacitabine administered in alternating cycles with decitabine in previously untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or concomitantly with venetoclax in previously treated AML or MDS
Acoustic Pharyngometry (AP) is a method of measurement of Transversal Sectional Areas (TSA) and Volumes of oral cavity and pharynx, based on acoustic waves. The aim of this study is to describe changes on oropharynx dimensions caused by CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) in patients with severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome when compared with patients with Primary Snore, using AP. The exam will be made during the use of CPAP, at various pressures. The investigators also intend to determine if pressure determined by Polysomnography in OSAS patients cause some type of different change in AP graphic.
The investigators study will determine how often blood flow regulation abnormalities and abnormalities of sympathetic regulation produced by nitric oxide, angiotensin-II, and oxidative stress occur in POTS and the mechanism(s) of POTS in individual patients. Specific causes for POTS may vary from patient to patient. Patients will be compared to healthy control subjects. There is a treatment arm with a medication (losartan) that reduces the binding of angiotensin and increases NO. If the investigators know the specific biochemical mechanism the investigators may be able to offer further specific treatments to specific patients.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are frequent diseases in elderly patients (median age: 71 years). IPSS classification defines low risk (Low and Intermediate 1), and high risk (Intermediate 2 and High) MDS. High-risk MDS (MDS-HR) have a high risk of transformation into acute leukemia with multilineage dysplasia (AML-DML). The success of Azacitidine has been mainly achieved through a rigorous empirical and clinical research, but the molecular mechanisms by which this molecule exerts its effects remain poorly characterized. The primary mode of action of Azacytidine is through DNA demethylation, and integration in to mRNA that favor traduction inhibition. The impact of this molecule on various cell death programs involved in the elimination of leukemic cells : apoptosis and autophagy is currently poorly known. The research program and clinical studies we proposed focus on two major aspects: - Main objective: Molecular mechanism of action and resistance to Azacitidine: Role of apoptosis versus autophagy. - Secondary Objective: Reversion of Azacytidine resistance using different drugs targeting apoptosis and/or autophagy. Our laboratory has identified new molecules to selectively induce different types of cell death (apoptosis or autophagy).
