7 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This open label study investigates a novel non-surgical approach to the treatment of HPV-associated anal intraepithelial neoplasia, using Artesunate suppositories.
Assess the safety, feasibility, and patient tolerability of circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal for patients with anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). Patients will have AIN with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and the RFA will be applied using the Barrx™ Ablation System.
This study is being done to assess the safety of lopinavir/ritonavir in patients with PLWH with AIN. 30 participants will be recruited and can expect to be on active study for approximately 3 months and long term follow up for 40 weeks.
The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and effectiveness of circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal using the BarrxTM Ablation System to destroy anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). The BarrxTM Ablation System used in this study comprises an RFA generator (Barrx™ FLEX) and the BarrxTM Anorectal Wand. The generator and wand are cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use and the wand is specifically cleared for treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). AIN is a precancerous condition. HSIL is an advanced form of AIN. The presence of HSIL has traditionally warranted treatment. RFA has been shown in many studies to effectively and safely destroy precancerous cells in a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is a precancerous condition of the esophagus (the swallowing tube). Recent studies have shown that RFA may offer the same benefits for those with HSIL in the anal canal. In particular, ablation of the entire circumference of the canal seems to reduce recurrence of HSIL in other locations of the anal canal. This study will last between 12 to 15 months. Subjects will be required to undergo 5 to 8 study visits as outlined below that are carried out by the study doctors or the physician assistant. Most visits will last approximately one hour. Some may be shorter and some may be longer. Up to seventy (70) volunteers will participate in this study at several locations.
This is a phase II double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of Artesunate suppositories for the treatment of HIV-negative men and women who have anal high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (anal HSIL)
The purpose of this study is to find out if a Chinese herbal cream is effective in treating HSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, also known as HGAIN, or high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia).
The purpose of this study is to see if curcumin can reverse anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (aHSIL) (high-grade anal precancerous cells or high-grade abnormal cells) in people living with HIV to avoid current treatments such as ablation (destroying abnormal cells with heat or surgical excision (cutting out the abnormal cells)), which have potential short- and long-term side effects.
