Filter by:This seamless, adaptive, two-stage, Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-groups, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belapectin compared with placebo in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis and clinical signs of portal hypertension but without esophageal varices at baseline.
To assess the efficacy of the Venablock©Vein Sealing System (VBVS) for the treatment of lower extremity superficial truncal veins in a real-world clinical setting in a multi-racial Asian population in Singapore.
This study will be looking at the effect of Ambulatory Selective Varices Ablation under Local Anesthesia (ASVAL) and Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) with concomitant phlebectomy in patients with incompetent great saphenous vein (GSV).
Gastroesophageal varices is a serious complication of compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD). Primary prophylaxis to reduce the risk of variceal haemorrhage is recommended if high-risk varices (HRV) are detected. We performed this study to compare the accuracy, patients' satisfaction and safety of detection of HRV by detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (DS-MCCE) with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) as the standard.
Enrollment criteria and clinical data collection: following the principles of medical ethics, the development of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Selecting 200 cases of chronic venous disease (CVD) according to the Comprehensive Classification System for Chronic Venous Disorders (CEAP) divided into 6 Clinical stages (C1-C6) (Group A). Selecting 200 healthy participants without CVD (C0) as controls (Group B). Blood samples will be collected from both groups. Markers of pyroptosis (NETs, Caspase-1 and Cytokines) will be evaluated between the two groups and between the subgroups, according to clinical stage, in group A.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of an "early tips" strategy over standard treatment by glue obliteration (G0) in preventing bleeding recurrence or death at one year after a non GOV1 gastric variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients initially treated by GO.
Varicose veins affect a majority of adult patients and cause a decreased quality of life. In recent years, standard practice has been to perform thermoablation and local phlebectomies in the same procedure. There is conflicting data on the long-term outcome of the local varicose veins; there seems to be a need for more re-interventions if the local varicosities are not treated immediately. On the other hand, the prolonged combined procedure increases procedural pain and bleeding, as well as the risk for complications from deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism. This trial aims to evaluate the need for immediate treatment of local varicosities and the potential sufficiency of main trunk treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prophylactic use of antibiotics in endoscopic injection of tissue adhesive in gastric varices.
200 patients with insufficient great saphenous veins will be randomized to either radiofrequency ablation or high ligation/stripping (open surgery). They will be examined according to standardized examination protocol Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), with duplex ultrasound and plethysmography pre- and postoperatively (1-month, 1-, 3 and 5 years). They are to fill questionnaires EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and disease specific Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ).
Varicose veins are a common problem, affecting up to a third of the western adult population. Most suffer with aching, discomfort, pruritis, and muscle cramps, whilst complications include oedema, eczema, lipodermatosclerosis, ulceration, phlebitis, and bleeding. This is known to have a significant negative effect on patient's quality of life (QoL). Surgery has been used for many years, but it is known that there is a temporary decline in QoL post-op. This was demonstrated in our pilot study. Surgery leads to painful and prolonged recovery in some patients and has the risks of infection, haematoma and nerve injury. Recurrence rates are known to be significant. Duplex of veins post surgery has demonstrated persistent reflux in 9-29% of cases at 1 year, 13-40% at 2 years, 40% at 5 years and 60% at 34 years. 26% of NHS patients were 'very dissatisfied' with their varicose vein surgery. Newer, less invasive treatments are being developed. It would be advantageous to find a treatment that avoided the morbidity of surgery, one that could be performed as a day-case procedure under a local anaesthetic, a treatment that could offer lower recurrence rates and allow an early return to work. These should be the aims of any new treatment for varicose veins. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is performed under a local anaesthetic and uses laser energy delivered into the vein to obliterate it. The vein therefore need not be tied off surgically and stripped out. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, cost effectiveness and safety of Surgery and EVLT.
