Filter by:This is an open label-pilot study to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel cholesterol-lovastatin topical solution in children with rare syndromic ichthyoses. Often times, these children have difficulty in finding easily applied treatments to make their psoriasiform and ichthyotic plaques more manageable. We propose the use of a cholesterol-lovastatin topical solution as a treatment option with the hypothesis that it will lead to regression of involved areas and decreased erythema and warty-like appearance of the plaques. We plan to enroll children with syndromic ichthyoses over the age of 1 year for a 12 month study with a total of 5 visits and 5 phone calls.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the evolution of daytime partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood (PaCO2) after 6 weeks of noninvasive ventilation-pressure support ventilation (NIV-PSV) with target volume versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alone versus NIV-PSV.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether henna paste is effective in the treatment of hand-foot skin syndrome, induced by the drugs Capecitabine and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin.
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of pregabalin in treating moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome in comparison to placebo.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition characterised by abdominal pain or discomfort and altered bowel habit affecting up to 10% of the population. There are several groups of patients that are based on differing bowel patterns including IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) and those with post infective IBS (PI-IBS) whose symptoms begin after an acute infection. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used in bread making has been shown to reduce the duration of infectious diarrhoea. Part of the benefit maybe that it can destroy bacterial toxins. Recent studies suggest an increase in proteases (chemicals which breakdown proteins) in the stool of patients with IBS-D. The investigators think that this yeast may benefit patients with IBS-D and PI-IBS by reducing the amount of protease in stool. This is important because proteases have been shown to be potentially important in generating some of the discomfort experienced by patients. The investigators will study patients with chronic IBS-D who will receive 2 weeks treatment with the yeast or placebo followed by a 4 week gap and then a further 2 week treatment with placebo or the yeast, with the treatments allocated randomly. The investigators will also study 30 subjects who still have persistent loose bowel function 6 weeks after an infection with Campylobacter jejuni, one of the commonest causes of gastroenteritis in the UK. Subjects will be randomised to take either the yeast or placebo for 4 weeks . In both studies, the investigators will examine the effect of treatment on stool proteases, stool frequency and consistency and abdominal discomfort; the investigators will also take blood samples to examine some aspects of immune system function. The results of the study may suggest how yeast provides a benefit in patients with IBS and diarrhea and will provide data for a larger clinical trial.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if NOV-002 can help to restore bone marrow and blood levels in patients who have MDS. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
The study will see if mechanical impulses delivered by an echocardiographic probe during a continuous infusion of MRX 801 are capable of improving blood flow in smaller heart vessels in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous immunoglobulins are effective in the treatment of complex-regional pain syndrome.
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a form of disease that results from removal of a significant portion of the intestine leading to poor nutrient absorption. Infants with short bowel syndrome suffer from diarrhea and poor growth. The care of these infants is limited by the lack of effective therapies. Soluble fiber (guar gum) is an indigestible form of sugar that is mostly contained in fruits and vegetables. Soluble fiber can reduce the severity and duration of persistent (constant) diarrhea in children. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the many effects of fiber added in the diet of infants with SBS
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing blood samples from patients with cancer.
