223 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat hemophilia A. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder where the body does not create enough of a protein called clotting factor 8 (FVIII) present in the blood. People with hemophilia A may bleed for a long time from minor wounds, have painful bleeding into joints, or have internal bleeding. In severe hemophilia A (clotting factor 8 levels less than 1%) bleedings are more likely to happen. In this study researchers want to learn more about the treatment called BAY94-9027. BAY94-9027 is an injectable medicine used to replace missing clotting factor 8. In BAY94-9027 the clotting factor 8 has been pegylated (combined with a substance called polyethylene glycol (PEG)). This is to make the treatment last longer in the body so that less injections are required. BAY94-9027 is already available for the prevention and treatment of bleeding in adults and children who are 12 years and older. BAY 94-9027 is also called Jivi. BAY94-9027 is not yet available for children aged 7 to less than 12 years. One potential specific risk of pegylated drugs is that proteins in the blood called antibodies are built. These may attach to the pegylation part of the drug and this in turn may lead to allergic reactions and the drug not working as well as it should during first 4 infusions. In studies that have been done so far, this has been seen in some children younger than six years, but not in 29 children aged 6 to less than 12 years treated with BAY94-9027. Further safety information related to how the body reacts to BAY94-9027 is however still needed for this age group. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe BAY94-9027 is (safety) and how it affects the body (tolerability) in previously treated children with severe hemophilia A who are between 7 to less than 12 years. To answer this question, the researchers will study information about two medical problems of special interest, if allergic reactions occur (also called hypersensitivity) and if the drug is not working as well as it should (also called loss of efficacy) during the first 4 infusions. Allergic reactions may range from mild local reactions to widespread effects such as shortness of breath, skin rashes and low blood pressure. Only allergic reactions related to the study treatment will be considered. The assessment if loss of efficacy occurred will be based on the occurrence of bleeding, the clotting factor 8 level in blood after injection called recovery, clotting factor 8 inhibitor tests and measurement of antibodies against the PEG. The study has two parts, A and B. Part A takes 6 months and part B takes 18 months. In part A the participants will receive two injections of BAY94-9027 per week. In part B, the number of injections may be decreased, with up to five days between the injections. The participants in this study will visit the study site around 14 times and will have 15 phone visits. In part A, visit 1 is for screening. Visits 2 to 5 take place twice a week for two weeks. Visit 6 two weeks after visit 5, visits 7 to 10 take place monthly with visit 11 six weeks after visit 10. In part B, site visits will occur on month 9, 12, 18 and 24 and phone calls every month between the site visits. The participants' and their caregivers will record in an electronic patient diary information about when the study treatment was given and bleeding episodes that have happened. During the study, the study doctors and their team will * take blood samples, * do physical examinations, * review the participants' electronic diary * ask questions about the participants' quality of life, * ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is a medical problem that happens during the study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in study, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the PK, bioavailability, PD, efficacy and safety of MarzAA for on demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes in adult subjects with inherited bleeding disorders.
Characterizing the impact and treatment of reproductive tract bleeding on women and post-menarchal girls with bleeding disorders. Objectives: This is a cross-sectional observational study of women and girls (WG) with bleeding disorders enrolled in the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) dataset. Based on the investigators' study of currently available data of WG with bleeding disorders in the ATHNdataset, the investigators hypothesize that the information currently captured in the core data elements of the ATHNdatasest does not adequately capture data specific to WG with bleeding disorders. Further, the investigators hypothesize that it is feasible for Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) to include data points specific to WG with bleeding disorder when enrolling participants in the ATHNdataset. This hypothesis will be evaluated through the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: Characterize reproductive tract bleeding in a cohort of WG with bleeding disorders cared for at US HTCs. Specific Aim 2: Characterize the treatment strategies for and the impact of heavy menstrual bleeding in a cohort of females with bleeding disorders cared for at HTCs. Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the feasibility of adding female specific core data points to the ATHNdataset.
The purpose of this study is to find out if gross motor skills of children and young adults with bleeding disorders are different from those without bleeding disorders. The investigators will use the standardized motor test the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2 tm). The second purpose is to establish if history of joint disease secondary to bleeding affects gross motor skills. 1. Participants and setting: Subjects will include up to 100 male youth and young adults, ages 4 to 21, recruited from the patient population of the Hemophilia Treatment Center at OHSU. A mailing that describes the study may be sent to all potential subjects who receive care through the Hemophilia Treatment Center at OHSU. Data collection will occur at either clinic visits or in the home. Information, including history of change in joint structure and synovium, from existing bleeding disorder repositories at OHSU will also be used. 2. Design and Procedures: Research will be done using a prospective, cross-sectional study design to examine any relationship between a diagnosis of bleeding disorder and gross motor development. The gross motor ability of children and young adults with bleeding disorders who meet the inclusion criteria will be compared to sex-specific normative data from a standardized motor test. Information about age, type of hemophilia, presence of an inhibitor, type of management used, body composition, range of motion, and hand strength will also be collected through direct measurement and chart review. The information collected will be entered into a repository. A subject may choose to opt out of the repository while still participating in the research study. In addition, information from a current hemophilia repository will be compared to gross motor ability scores to determine if joint disease is related to skill level in this group of people. 3. Proposed analyses: Two-tailed t tests and logistic regression will be used to determine if there are any significant differences.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in participants with genotypes 1 and 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) in participants with genotypes 2 and 3 HCV infection. Participants with an inherited bleeding disorder and chronic HCV infection (either monoinfected or HIV-1/HCV coinfected) will be enrolled.
The high percentage of failure using available non-surgical options to treat menorrhagia in women with bleeding disorders shows a continuing need for innovative treatments. This has led to development of this protocol in order to make available tranexamic acid as a potentially effective menorrhagia therapy option in women with an underlying bleeding disorder. We anticipate that Tranexamic Acid may be a beneficial choice for controlling menorrhagia in bleeding disorder patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether oral contraceptives, desmopressin acetate, and/or tranexamic acid are effective in the treatment of women with menorrhagia who are diagnosed with a bleeding disorder.
Adult patients on extracoporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) frequently experience bleeding, which is in part caused by acquired von Willebrand syndrome (vWS). Prior in vitro studies have shown that the addition of recombinant von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to ECMO patient blood samples, normalizes platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. This study is a phase I study, where adult ECMO patients with refractory bleeding will be treated with recombinant vWF a single time. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of recombinant vWF in adult ECMO patients.
The goal of this study is to assess the physician and patient experience of radio frequency (RF) track cautery in patients undergoing needle biopsy of the liver, kidney, or spleen who have one or more risk factors for biopsy-related bleeding. RF track cautery involves inserting a bipolar electrode through the same introducer needle used for the biopsy, and heating the tissues along the path of the biopsy needle to prevent bleeding. This study primarily aims to assess the operator and patient experience during the use of track cautery. Secondary aims are to assess the technical success rate and procedure adverse events. Participants who enroll in the study will undergo track cautery as part of their clinically indicated liver, kidney, or spleen biopsy. After the procedure, they will fill out a brief survey asking about their experience during the procedure. Physician operators who perform track cautery as part of the study will also fill out a survey after each procedure asking about their experience using this technique.
The XIENCE 28 USA Study is prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to evaluate safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System \[EECSS\], XIENCE Alpine EECSS and XIENCE Sierra EECSS) of coronary drug-eluting stents.
This study will look at how a known study medicine N8-GP works in previously N8-GP treated people with haemophilia A. The aim is to look at how N8-GP works during regular use. Participants will get N8-GP. N8-GP has been tested in more than 200 people with haemophilia A for several years. Participants will get an injection of N8-GP into a blood vessel, one, two or three times weekly. Participants will get more doses if they bleed or if they will need a surgery. The study will last for about 2 years. Participants will have at least 9 visits with the study doctor. If participants agree to be in this study, they will get their first injection (in this study) at the first visit. Participants will also get an injection at visit 3, 5 and 7. Participants will be trained to give all other injections themselves. Participants must not use any clotting factors other than N8-GP or any anticoagulants (blood thinners) during the study.
