Filter by:The study will consist of pair of double-blind placebo-controlled trials of dietary supplementation with 15g/day FructoOligoSaccharide (FOS) for 7.5 weeks in patients with prostate carcinoma or 5 weeks in patients with cervical or endometrial carcinoma who are to undergo pelvic radiotherapy with intent to cure.
Study is designed to show a lack of effect on white blood cells circulating in the spinal fluid.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nitazoxanide suspension compared to placebo in treating rotavirus disease in pediatric patients less than 6 years of age.
The trial is a phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of three doses of ORV 116E, 10^5.0 FFU, against severe rotavirus gastroenteritis, in comparison with a placebo in India.
Background: - Food allergies are characterized by abnormal immune system responses to certain foods, such as peanuts, strawberries, and shellfish. Some individuals with these allergies have immediate allergic reactions on contact with the food in question and need immediate treatment to prevent severe complications. In contrast, eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders are related disorders in which white blood cells in the intestinal tract react to certain foods, causing abdominal pain, nausea, and other digestion problems. Researchers are interested in studying these conditions to better understand how the immune system responds to food allergies. Objectives: - To examine how the immune system responds to food allergens. - To examine how certain white blood cells contribute to disease in individuals with food allergies and other inflammatory diseases. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age who have a history of (a) severe allergic reaction to peanuts (and have peanut-specific antibodies), (b) allergy or inflammatory disease, or (c) eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorder (with at least two documented food allergies). - Healthy volunteers between 18 and 65 years of age who have no known allergies or asthma. Design: - All participants will have a screening visit and a procedure visit. The procedure visit will take place within 30 to 60 days of the screening visit, and will take 3 to 4 hours depending on the procedure(s) done. - Participants will be screened with a physical examination and medical history, and will provide blood samples for testing. Participants with peanut or other allergies will have additional tests to determine their levels of sensitivity to certain foods. Participants with eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorder will provide stool samples for testing. - At the procedure visit, participants with peanut allergies and participants with other allergies will provide blood samples and have leukapherisis to collect white blood cells for examination. - At the procedure visit, healthy volunteers and participants with eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorder will provide blood samples and have leukapherisis to collect white blood cells for examination. In addition, some but not all of these participants will have a procedure called esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which will examine the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Participants who are scheduled to have EGD will be asked to fast for 6 hours before the procedure.
This is a phase II double blind multicenter randomized placebo-controled clinical study aimed to find out whether treatment with Filtrum-STI (orally administered 0,4g tablets) is safe and effective in children with viral gastroenteritis. Filtrum-STI (lignin hydrolytic) is a drug with a high absorbing ability, that binds and eliminates toxins, pathogenic microorganisms and viruses. Filtrum-STI is inoffensive for mucous membranes, enhances colonic propulsion and improves its natural microflora. The drug is not toxic and well combines with other medication
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of four doses of SGX201 in subjects with rectal cancer treated with concurrent radiation and chemotherapy.
1. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) is a new tool to investigate small intestinal diseases. 2. Deep enteroscopy made possible by balloon expansion and manipulation of small intestines. 3. However, whether intestinal barrier injured during BAE predispose patients to bacteremia or clinical relevant infection is not studied. 4. We will also examine relevant patient factors.
Ionizing radiation has cytotoxic effects, and is commonly used as treatment for neoplasm. A common adverse effect of radiation is acute diarrhoea. Glutamine is an aminoacid with antioxidant effects that can protect tissues of damage dued to radiation. The investigators designed a randomized, double-blind trial phase III to study if glutamine prevents acute radiation enteritis.
Citrulline is an amino acid produced in the intestine and in the liver, but the liver does not contribute significantly to circulating citrulline concentrations. The intestine is thus the only organ that normally releases significant amounts of citrulline into the blood stream. The investigators have designed a study looking at the value of measuring plasma citrulline concentration in patients with tropical enteropathy of mixed HIV status. The focus will be on the ability of the intestine to sustain the individual concerned from a nutritional standpoint. The investigators hypothesise that plasma citrulline concentration is a marker of small bowel absorptive integrity and an appropriate surrogate for HIV related enteropathy.
