Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of Topical AmphiMatrix with Nitroglycerin (MQX0503) to relieve Raynaud's symptoms and increase blood flow to the fingers.
To investigate the severity of secondary Raynaud's disease-related attacks during the 14 days 2101 dosing period.
Raynaud's phenomenon is thought to occur when, in response to cold or emotional stress, there is closure of the digital arteries and cutaneous arterioles leading to the clinical finding of sharp demarcated digital pallor and cyanosis of the distal skin of the fingers and/or toes. Patients often continue to experience problems despite current available treatment. The investigators' study will investigate the use of a new vasodilator called Fasudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor. The investigators' hypothesis is that Fasudil will prevent vasoconstriction of digital and cutaneous arteries during a standard laboratory based cold exposure and will therefore improve digital blood flow and skin temperature recovery time following cold challenge. These data will provide the rationale for a more elaborate clinical trials in real life situations.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the response to two different dosage strengths of a topical nitroglycerin gel in patients with Raynaud's Phenomenon. Patient fingers will be monitored for changes in blood flow and skin temperature. Symptoms of pain, tingling and numbness will also be monitored.

The Purpose of this study is to determine the response to two different strengths of a topical gel containing nitroglycerin in patients with Raynaud's disease.
This trial will test the efficacy of St. John's Wort (SJW) as a supplement, in the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). The investigators are hypothesizing that taking SJW 300mg, 3 times a day will decrease the frequency, duration, and severity of RP attacks when compared to placebo. Patients with RP will answer questionnaires and self-evaluate their symptoms of RP as a baseline. Then they will be assigned to either a treatment (will receive SJW capsules) or placebo (will receive non-therapeutic capsules) group. They will be required to take their capsules, self-evaluate their progress and be evaluated every two weeks in a clinic. The treatment phase will last six weeks. This trial will be conducted in a way to mimic the normal usage of natural products. Patients will not be required to stop any current treatment for RP.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of a topical gel formulation of nitroglycerin, in comparison to a matching placebo, for patients with moderate to severe primary Raynaud's phenomenon or patients with Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to autoimmune diseases, such as scleroderma.
The purpose of this study is to determine, in comparison to a placebo control, the response to two dosage strengths of a topical gel formulation of nitroglycerin, MQX-303, in the determination of finger blood flow and skin temperature in the fingers of patients with moderate to severe Raynaud's phenomenon, follwoing exposure to cold temperatures. Blood flow is determined by scanning laser Doppler equipment and skin temperature is measured using attached thermistor probes. Following baseline measurements, the study gel is applied, the hand is placed in a cold chamber, and then blood flow and skin temperature are monitored for the next two hours. Each patient will receive multiple doses on different days so that each can serve as his/her own control in interpreting the response.
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of EGb 761® in patients with the primary Raynaud phenomenon, with regards to the frequency, duration and severity of vasospastic attacks.
