Filter by:Study of the treatment of infertility caused by recurrent intrauterine adhesions (IUA) by collagen scaffold loaded with umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to provide clinical evidence of safety and effectiveness for the treatment of uterine infertility.
The purpose of this study is to obtain data on the safety and manageability of applying LABS™ to the uterus and other areas of surgical trauma in the pelvis and abdomen following laparoscopic gynaecologic surgery. In addition, performance data following a clinical indicated second look laparoscopy will be collected for the purpose of determining sample size predictions for future trials.
The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of the educational intervention in the adhesion to therapeutic strategies for patients with heart failure.
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is the adhesion of intrauterine tissues due to the exposure of myometrial tissues caused by the endometrial basal injury. IUA is clinically manifested as symptoms such as abdominal pain, hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea, sterility and habitual abortion, which seriously affect the patients quality of life. Preventing IUA has been tried using different methods such as barrier or stent in order to separate the opposing endometrium during the tissue healing processes. Although some successes have been reported there are still some challenges need to be dealt with. One of the barrier materials for preventing IUA is made of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural ECM of human tissue with excellent biocompatibility and promotes the scar-free wound repair. The self-crosslinked esterified HA gel has demonstrated the capacity to prevent IUA in clinical studies. A novel self-crosslinked HA gel is developed by BioRegen Biomedical（Changzhou）Co., Ltd with proprietary technologies. This product is a highly viscoelastic crosslinked gel that overcomes the shortcoming of sodium hyaluronate with high motility and too quick degradation in vivo. For this product, the results of animal experiments and various safety features have been designed and tested conforming to the national regulations and standards. In order to launch this product to the market, this prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial is designed and will be performed to verify its safety/efficacy.
First-line treatment for labial adhesions in prepubertal girls has been topical estrogen. This study aims to evaluate an alternative and less costly option of treatment with potentially less side effects. Primary Hypothesis: There will be a difference in complete resolution of labial adhesions with topical estrogen with lateral traction as compared to an emollient with lateral traction.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the new crosslinked hyaluronan hydrogel was safe to use, and was effective for the prevention/reduction of adhesion formation following gynecological surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) in patients 40 years and older using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of ophthalmic intravitreal injection of ALG-1001 in human subjects with symptomatic focal vitreomacular adhesion
The investigator has recently studied markers of platelet activation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and found that in IPF patients there is a significantly increased platelet reactivity when compared with controls which is demonstrated by a concentration dependent increase in platelet-monocyte complex formation, platelet P-selectin expression and platelet fibrinogen binding in the presence of` the platelet agonists Adenosine diphosphate and L- Threonyl- L- phenylalanyl- L- leucyl- L- leucyl- L-argininamide (TFLLR). During platelet activation the platelets degranulate releasing numerous profibrotic cytokines including Transforming growth factor beta and Platelet derived growth factor that are recognised to be important in the pathogenesis of IPF. It is therefore plausible that the observed increased platelet reactivity in IPF contributes to the fibrotic process through local activation and degranulation with release of proinflammatory and profibrotic mediators within the pulmonary circulation. There is evidence that corticosteroid treatment may alter platelet adhesion, in a study of spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) increased circulating glucocorticoid, suppressed p-selectin expression. p selectin is a transmembrane protein present in the α granules of platelets. P selectin has a crucial role in platelet aggregation and platelet-leukocyte interactions, which are both potentially important mechanisms in the initiation and/or progression of tissue injury and development of thrombosis. In a study of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation these were treated with either β agonists alone or β agonist and 40mg prednisolone and compared with a control group. At presentation the COPD patients had higher pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) higher p selectin and fibrinogen levels but lower Antithrombin III levels (AT III). The pulmonary artery pressure and fibrinogen levels were found to be significantly decreased in the steroid treated group whilst the p-selectin levels further increased in the non steroidal therapy patients. Rationale for the Current Study There is a significant unmet medical need for the treatment of IPF; the only medication approved for treatment of IPF in the United Kingdom (UK) is Pirfenidone and outside the UK there is none. The main goal of the current study is to evaluate the effect of Fostair on the biomarkers of platelet activation in IPF disease which the investigator believes play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IPF and whether this translates in to a clinically beneficial effect of Fostair on IPF disease.
The purpose of this study is to observe the anatomical and functional outcomes of ocriplasmin (JETREA®) over a 6-month follow-up period.
