Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to retrospectively identify the clinical characteristics of abdominal lymphatic malformations (ALMs) in our single center in China. The second objective of this study is to retrospectively compare the epidemiological features, clinical presentations, cyst properties, surgical treatments, and risk factors for preoperative complications of ALMs between paediatric participants and adult participants.
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of core biopsy of vascular anomalies for clinical pathology and clinical genomics studies.
Standard of care for Lymphatic Malformations has been surgical excision. We have been using OK432/Picibanil (generously supplied by Chugai Pharmaceuticals in Japan) since 1992 with great success for macrocystic disease. The objective of the study was to provide OK-432 immunotherapy to subjects with macrocystic or mixed (> 50% macrocystic) lymphatic malformations (LMs) and investigate the efficacy and safety of OK 432 as a treatment option in subjects with LMs.
A Phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of sildenafil taken orally to improve or resolve lymphatic malformations in children. Subjects may receive either placebo or treatment in an oral dosage with an open label extension for subjects who received placebo. The study treatment assignment will be randomized in a double blind fashion. MRI examination will evaluate change in lesion volume due to treatment. Other safety and efficacy measures will be taken through the 32-week study duration. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
There is an unsatisfied medical need for a first-line treatment of lymphatic malformations with a good benefit/risk profile. Based on a patient experience in the institution, the investigators plan to verify whether or not the medication sildenafil has a beneficial effect on lymphatic malformations. The investigators plan to do this by treating patients with lymphatic malformations with the medication sildenafil for a 20 week period. This is an investigator initiated study funded by an Innovations in Patient Care grant and a SPARK grant.
Controversy exists in the treatment of airway hemangiomas ranging from tracheotomy, various lasers, to open removal, none of which have proven to be a gold standard. Venous malformations of the airway are difficult to treat and also require laser therapy or open removal and often repeated treatments are required. Similarly airway lymphatic malformations can require multiple treatment modalities as well as multiple procedures and are infrequently eradicated when extensive. New uses for various lasers and differing treatment protocols are frequently developed. Review of the treatment modalities and efficacy of these methods is required. The goal of this research is to determine protocols for treatment of airway vascular malformation and to evaluate our results from treatment of these lesions.
