Filter by:Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency tend to have elevated circulating levels of androgens, which can accelerate skeletal maturation and adversely impact adult height. Additionally, these children require supraphysiologic doses of hydrocortisone to suppress secretion of adrenal androgen precursors, and this treatment can retard linear growth. This study seeks to use oral abiraterone acetate (Zytiga)as an adjunct to approved CAH therapy (oral hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone) for pre-pubescent children with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency in order to reduce daily requirement of hydrocortisone.
This study is an open-label, randomised, titration-blinded, parallel arm, multicenter study to compare twice daily Chronocort® with standard care in participants with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). This study will be conducted in the USA.
Every year more than 70 000 interventions for prostatic adenoma are realized. Several type of surgery are realized going of the ambulatory to longer hospital lengths of stay. There are also several techniques.However it appears that ambulatory surgery is less costly. The arguments of surgeons are patients reluctance or the difficulty to manage in case of complication. The aim of the study is to show that there is a good acceptance from patient with a good level of satisfaction at day 30.
The primary study objective is to evaluate improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 12 months post prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with bland microspheres.
For ageing men, Health related quality of life ( HRQoL) is challenged by two common issues: the onset of bothersome urinary symptoms attributable to prostate enlargement and diminishing ability to maintain normal sexual activity and function; both issues are important to men, yet often the treatment of the former has adverse effects on the latter. Current medical and surgical treatments offer symptomatic improvement of urinary symptoms. However long recovery times, degradation of sexual function and incontinence may negatively affect a patient's QoL. Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) and prostate artery embolization (PAE) represent two evolving techniques with contrasting mechanisms of action (mechanical decompression vs angiographic embolization). Both are minimally invasive, yield relief of urinary symptoms and have similar safety profiles. More importantly neither causes degradation of sexual function or urinary continence. Although multiple studies are being reported on PUL and PAE alike, currently there are no prospective clinical trials comparing these two technologies. We aim to prospectively evaluate and compare HRQol outcomes of PUL and PAE. Results of this study could have a great impact on patient outcomes in men opting for minimally invasive, sexual function sparing treatment options for symptom relief from prostate enlargement.
The purpose of this study is to create a biobank, which collects, stores, and distributes samples of human tissues, blood, and related health information to qualified scientists, in order to help doctors and researchers better understand why Castleman Disease occurs and develop ways to better treat and prevent it.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is a common disease in urology among old men. If BPH symptom cannot be controlled by drugs, then transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), is recommended. Although the procedure is quit safe, these old men often take anticoagulants and antiplatelets to control cardiovascular diseases, which arose some concerns for their bleeding risk. The management of anticoagulation in patients undergoing surgical procedures is challenging because interrupting anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. At the same time, surgery and invasive procedures have associated bleeding risks that are increased by the anticoagulant administration. Now, the recommendation about anticoagulants and antiplatelets discontinuation had no concrete evidence, especially in TURP. Furthermore, there is no relative studies done in Taiwan population, which calls for further investigation.
Investigators hypothesis that arterial embolization of men with symptomatic BPH, analogous to uterine fibroid embolization for women, is safe and effective.
The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the improvement of QoL, in patients undergoing prostatic artery embolization (PAE) or conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, single-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NBI-77860 in subjects with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The study will be conducted in approximately 15 adolescent females (12-18 years of age) with a documented medical diagnosis of classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency CAH. The study will include three independent dose cohorts of NBI-77860 (approximately 5 subjects per dose cohort). Ascending doses will be evaluated as part of a sequential-cohort design.
