6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Hemorrhoids are vascular cushions in the anal canal. People are normally born with hemorrhoids, and the presence of hemorrhoids does not imply disease. However, hemorrhoids typically cause symptoms when they enlarge over time. There are two types of hemorrhoids- External Hemorrhoids and Internal Hemorrhoids. Current minimally invasive technologies for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids are associated with several drawbacks that include high rate of recurrence and a need for repetitive procedures, frequent post-procedural pain or significant discomfort, intra-operative pain and technically demanding. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the HET Bipolar System is safe and effective in the treatment of Stage I and Stage II hemorrhoids (internal hemorrhoids). The HET Bipolar System is a new alternative device for the minimally invasive treatment of Stage I and Stage II hemorrhoids that incorporate design features with the intent of resolving each of the major limitations of currently available technology.
This study will assess how effective and safe rectal artery embolization works to treat symptomatic bleeding predominant internal hemorrhoids.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel group study of the safety and efficacy of Hydrocortisone Acetate Suppositories, 25 mg compared to placebo suppositories in the treatment of symptomatic internal hemorrhoids.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of G\&W Laboratories' Anucort HC TM (Hydrocortisone Acetate) 25mg Rectal Suppositories in subjects with internal hemorrhoidal symptoms.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of iferanserin ointment on cessation of bleeding when administered intra-anally twice daily (BID) for 7 or 14 days in subjects with symptomatic internal hemorrhoids. Methodology: Double-Blind: Phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled part of the study. Extension: Multicenter, open-label part of the study. Study Treatment Duration: Double-Blind: 28 days (14-day treatment period and a 14-day follow-up period). Extension: 12 months (open-label part of the study in which there will be a scheduled visit every three months. Subjects who have recurrence(s) of their symptomatic internal hemorrhoids will be treated with open-label iferanserin for 7 days followed by a 21-day follow-up period). Criteria for Evaluation: Primary Endpoint: The primary endpoint is the cessation of bleeding by the end of Day 7 that persists for the remainder of the treatment period (through Day 14).
The purpose of this study is to determine which treatment, band ligation (placing rubber bands around the hemorrhoids) or BICAP electrocoagulation (using electricity to cauterize) is safer and more effective endoscopic treatment for bleeding internal hemorrhoids.
