Filter by:This is a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, comparative, exploratory phase II dose-finding trial. The trial will be conducted with four treatment groups in the form of a parallel group comparison and will serve to compare oral treatment with daily doses of 20, 50, or 100 mg ZED1227 vs. placebo for the treatment of patients with NAFLD with fibrosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Apixaban is effective and safe in Prevention of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhotic Patients after Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection
A prospective, randomized controlled study on whether re-education after discharge can reduce the rebleeding rate after endoscopic treatment of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with liver cirrhosis
This study aimed to evaluate whether vagus nerve-guided robotic-assisted splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection is effective and safe, and to determine whether a reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications of the digestive system improves postoperative quality of life compared with conventional robotic-assisted splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection.
Rehabilitation plays a very important role in the management of patients with COVID-19, focusing on respiratory and motor functions, and therefore the importance of establishing treatment strategies to ensure optimal recovery of these patients has been emphasized. It has been stated that physical activity recommendations should be clarified for the management of symptoms associated with prolonged COVID-19 Syndrome and for the continuation of activities of daily living. It has been stated that after COVID-19 pneumonia, it is necessary to evaluate the physical functions of patients with long-term follow-up and to establish rehabilitation programs. The importance of being included in the rehabilitation program was emphasized, especially for patients with lung fibrosis. The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19. The secondary aim of this study is to compare the effects of pulmonary telerehabilitation and physical activity recommendations on symptoms, activity and participation in patients with pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19.
This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter study (1 year) with 50 patients with cystic fibrosis for whom treatment with KAFTRIO® is prescribed.Cystic fibrosis is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease linked to a mutation of the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) protein gene. For the majority of patients, no treatment with a CFTR protein modulator was available until the arrival of the KAFTRIO® triple therapy (ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor). Clinical studies on this triple therapy demonstrate significant improvements in FEV (forced vital capacity) and also very rapid health improvement of patients. However, there is a lack of data recorded in real life at home by patients to trace the evolution curves of health parameters and patient perceptions from the first days after initiation of treatment. The PHEAL-CR-K application, specially developed for the study, makes it possible to collect physiological parameters and perceptions collected via connected objects or declared manually in the application. These data will reflect the evolution of the parameters from the start of the treatment and over a period of 3 months. In addition, the composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of the air exhaled in the early phase of treatment with KAFTRIO® will be monitored for the group of patients followed at Foch Hospital. Exhaled air is an ideal biological fluid for clinical monitoring (non-invasive collection and real-time analysis). In cystic fibrosis, biomarkers in the exhaled air have been correlated with functional and clinical parameters. The objective is to collect the air exhaled before initiating treatment with KAFTRIO® and during treatment, to identify VOCs whose expression would be modified early. Changes in the composition of the exhaled air will be correlated with follow-up clinical data collected with the PHEAL-CR-K application and with functional data obtained during measurements of breath by spirometry (FEV) and sweat concentrations of chloride ions collected at the during a sweat test. The identified COVs could become early predictive biomarkers of clinical response.
It is an open label observation clinical trial, all participants are liver transplant patients. The investigators deem to make a better criteria for assessing liver fibrosis after liver transplantation. The point of the clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of multiparameter MRI in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis after liver transplantation.
Children with cirrhosis awaiting transplantation are more proned to develop various complications. The pathogenesis of cirrhotic complications (ascites, hyponatremia, acute kidney injury) includes release of vasodilatory molecules like nitric oxide, damage associated molecular pathogens (DAMPs) and pattern associated molecular pathogens (PAMPs) secondary to bacterial translocation, which causes splanchnic bed vasodilation resulting in activation of renin-angiotensin and aldosterone axis(RAAS) causing sodium and water retention and renal vasoconstriction [1]. The development of complications in these children may result in death or may preclude them from reaching upto liver transplantation [2]. Midodrine is an α1 adrenergic receptor agonist, which increases vascular tone causing rise in the blood pressure, thereby improving renal perfusion and causes RAAS deactivation. The effects of midodrine is documented in reduction of refractory ascites, hepatorenal syndrome and hyponatremia[2-4]. One group will receive only standard medical therapy and other group will receive midodrine and standard medical therapy for 6 months. Mean arterial pressure will be monitored at every OPD visit. At the end of 12 weeks, and 24 weeks, plasma renin activity, incidence of complications related to cirrhosis like new onset ascites, increase in grade of ascites, hyponatremia, acute kidney injury and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis will be assessed. Also the transplant free survival and need for albumin transfusion will be compared between the two groups. In case of liver transplantation or death before 6 months, midodrine will be stopped
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in de novo kidney transplant patients to determine if the addition of fingolimod (brand name Gilenya®, candidate name- FTY720) on the background of standard immunosuppression will prevent expansion of the interstitial compartment of the transplanted kidney. Interstitial expansion is the precursor of interstitial fibrosis and graft loss. The study will test the hypothesis that abgrogating the fibrogenic effects of both the RhoA and mTOR pathways with fingolimod will reduce structural damage in transplanted kidneys and possible subsequent transplant failure.
This is a prospective, longitudinal multicenter observational study comparing home to office spirometry and home to office weight and height measurements. The aim of the study is to estimate the accuracy and variability of home spirometric measurements over time, and to assess the feasibility and acceptability of home measurements.
