Filter by:RE-LAM-CE is a registry of lymphangioleiomyomatosis cases in France. its aim is to determine the incidence and prevalence of lymphangioleiomyomatosis in France, including demographic information and information concerning the timing and modalities of diagnosis. Based on the registry, we will set up a prospective cohort of patients. The database will include detailed medical information, particularly regarding progression of the respiratory function.
The hypothesis in this study is that estrogen suppression by an aromatase inhibitor in postmenopausal women with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) will prevent or delay progression of lung disease and result in a decrease in the rate of decline in FEV1
This was an exploratory study to determine whether escalating doses of RAD001 (everolimus) were safe and effective in patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
The purpose of the study is to test if the drug doxycycline is effective in slowing the progression of lung disease in LAM. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease which affects young women. Women with LAM develop enlarged air spaces in the lungs called cysts, caused by an excess of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), protein-digesting enzymes. LAM is associated with kidney tumours, called angiomyolipomas, and causes recurrent lung collapse, breathlessness and death or need for lung transplant. There is no proven treatment. Doxycycline, a commonly used antibiotic can block MMP production and a small number of patients have shown some benefit from doxycycline. The investigators will perform a study to test if doxycycline can slow the fall in lung function in patients with LAM. Forty patients who consent to participate will take doxycycline or a placebo (dummy) tablet for two years in addition to their standard treatment.
This is a descriptive study of patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and precapillary pulmonary hypertension.
This is an open label long term follow up study, open to those subjects who were previously enrolled in"RAD001 Therapy of Angiomyolipomata in Patients with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Sporadic Lymphangioleiomyomatosis", CCHMC IRB #2008-0812 and who meet the criteria for this long-term follow-up study. The hypothesis is that the drug will inhibit the growth of the angiomyolipomas and possibly even cause regression.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RAD001 in treating patients with Angiomyolipoma associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex or Sporadic Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
This study will examine the effect of fasting on lymphangioleiomyomas abdominal tumors formed from enlarged lymph nodes containing lymphatic fluid. Previous studies have determined that these tumors increase in size in the evening, but this result could stem from the fact that previous study participants were tested after eating lunch. The purpose of the study is to help researchers understand the factors that produce changes in size of lymphangioleiomyomas, as well as to improve the ability of medical professionals to diagnose lymphangioleiomyomas and avoid confusing these tumors with other malignant tumors. Volunteers must be women who are at least 18 years of age and who have been diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomas in the abdominal or pelvic areas. Candidates who have had lung or kidney transplants or who have type 1 diabetes will be excluded. Candidates will be screened with a physical examination and medical history. During the study, participants will be admitted to a National Institutes of Health clinical center for three days to undergo a number of tests. Tests will include routine blood and urine tests, and electrocardiogram, research blood testing, and abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds....
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus as a treatment for renal angiomyolipomas in patients with tyberous sclerosis complex or sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects RAD001 has on angiomyolipomas of a person with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and to determine the safe dose of RAD001 without toxicity. The hypothesis is that the drug will inhibit the growth of the angiomyolipomas and possibly even cause regression.
