Paget's Disease Clinical Trials

The investigators are researching families with inherited inclusion body myopathy (IBM) and/or Paget disease of bone (PDB) and/or dementia (FTD) which is also called IBMPFD. IBMPFD is caused by mutations in the VCP gene. Our main goal is to understand how changes in the VCP gene cause the muscle, bone ...

Cancer patients who have developed blood clot in the arm that has the central venous catheter will be treated with standard of care blood thinning injection of low molecular weight heparin for 1 week and then for apixaban 5 mg twice daily for the rest of 11 weeks. Data will ...

The post operative period, wich is a critically ill condition, and history of cancer are related to a high risk of venous thrombosis. Catheter is one of the most common complication of parenteral nutrition and is also related to thrombosis. The combination of theses conditions increases the risk of venous ...

Phlebography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of asymptomatic catheter related thrombosis but can not be performed in about 15% of patients because of arm swelling and lack of superficial veins. Echography doppler is an easy, cheap and atraumatic way to make the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. The ...

The central venous catheters (CVC) related thrombosis is an issue of importance to ICU clinicians.This study conducts the daily ultrasound-screening for CVC-related thrombosis (DUCT).Its aim is to evaluate the characteristic and regularity of the central venous catheters (CVC) related thrombosis in ICU patients, and optimize the screening program of CVC-related ...

CoRDS collects contact, sociodemographic and health information about participants. This information is entered into CoRDS and linked to a unique coded identifier. Below are some examples of information requested on the Questionnaire that will be entered into CoRDS: Contact information: Name, Mailing Address, Phone Number, Email Address Sociodemographic information: Date ...

A PICC line is a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter. It is long, small, flexible tube that is inserted into a peripheral vein, typically in the upper arm, and terminates in a large vein in the chest to obtain a central intravenous access. A Midline catheter is similar to a PICC, ...

In addition to evaluating treatment outcomes, tissue samples and swabs will be collected as part of this study to allow physicians to better understand Extramammary Paget's Disease (EMPD). The researchers also want to learn more about the microorganisms (microbiome) that live on or near the areas of skin affected by ...

The genetic mutations found in Paget's disease currently only account for about 15% of cases and are limited to genes that affect osteoclast differentiation and function. These mutations alone are insufficient to explain the full phenotype, particularly hypervascularity and increased bone formation. Through a series of basic science studies, the ...

It is at present unclear whether intervention with bisphosphonates is of clinical benefit in early PDB. Although the ZiPP study is expected to provide information on whether ZA can favourably influence the development of bone lesions characteristic of early PDB as determined by radionuclide bone scan imaging, longer term follow ...
