5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is an open-label study of andecaliximab in participants at risk of developing bone where bone should not be, such as in muscle, tendons, and other soft tissues following traumatic spinal cord injury. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of andecaliximab, how much drug is in the body over time (pharmacokinetics/PK), and how it affects the body (pharmacodynamics/PD) in participants who have had a recent traumatic spinal cord injury.
Primary Objective(s): * To describe the demographic characteristics of people living with FOP * To describe the prevalence of clinical characteristics of interest in people living with FOP * To describe the use of key medications in people living with FOP * To estimate the crude mortality rate among people with FOP
This study is researching an experimental drug called garetosmab. The study is focused on adult patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is in patients with FOP. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from receiving the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
To determine the effectiveness of 500 cGy dose of radiation therapy vs. an untreated group in the prophylactic treatment of heterotopic ossification in distal humerus fractures
Complex elbow fractures can lead to formation of new bone (called Heterotopic ossification). This new bone is unwanted and it can restrict motion. This research study is being done to learn more about the effect of the drug naproxen, on unwanted formation of new bone around the elbow as it heals after a fracture. Naproxen belongs to a class of drugs called NSAIDs which stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Several research studies suggest that NSAIDs such as Naproxen can prevent the unwanted formation of new bone around the hip. The effect of NSAIDS on the formation of bone around the elbow has not been studied as well as it has been studied for their effect on the hip. The drug, Naproxen is approved by the US food and drug administration (FDA) for sale but ot specifically for the treatment of heterotopic ossification.
