4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the use of mitomycin-C topical application as an adjunctive treatment in the endoscopic surgical treatment of patients with laryngotracheal stenosis. We hypothesize that the use of mitomycin-C improves patient outcome in the endoscopic surgical treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis.
The purpose of this proposed study is to obtain safety and efficacy data on human laryngeal allograft transplantation in an effort to safely use these procedures as a viable reconstructive option for patients with severe laryngeal or laryngotracheal incompetence.
This research is being done to determine the resistance across stenosis in the airway.
The investigators propose a preliminary study performing exome sequencing on samples from patients and their biologically related family members with tracheal and esophageal birth defects (TED). The purpose of this study is to determine if patients diagnosed with TED and similar disorders carry distinct mutations that lead to predisposition. The investigators will use advanced, non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to assess tracheal esophageal, lung, and cardiac morphology and function in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients. MRI techniques is done exclusively if patient is clinically treated at primary study location and if patient has not yet had their initial esophageal repair.
