LYMPHA Procedure for the Prevention of Lymphedema After Axillary Lymphadenectomy
Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating condition that occurs with disruption or obstruction of the lymphatic system, which commonly occurs a result of breast cancer therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a low risk lymphatic reconstruction procedure at the time of axillary …
Study of Lymphatic Dysfunction in Primary and Secondary Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a disorder of the lymphatic vascular system characterized by impaired lymphatic return and swelling of the extremities and accumulation of undrained interstitial fluid/lymph that results in fibrosis and adipose tissue deposition in the affected area. It can be an inherited condition (primary lymphedema) or occurs after cancer surgery …
Added Value of Reconstructive Lymphatic Surgery to Usual Care in Lymphoedema
The primary objective of this research proposal is to investigate in patients with lymphoedema of the upper limb or lower limb (P) the added value of reconstructive lymphatic surgery (I) to the decongestive lymphatic therapy (usual care) (C) on the lymphoedema-specific quality of life (QoL) (O) at 18 months post-surgery/ …
The Robot-LVA Study: Robot-assisted Microsurgical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis in Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema
This study assesses the performance of robot-assisted microsurgery. Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is the most difficult procedure in microsurgery at this moment. The LVA technique is applied to treat for example breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Therefore, this LVA procedure is compared using a manual expert and the same expert applying robot-assisted …
Clinical Evaluation of a Device for Treatment of Lymphedema of the Upper Extremity
Lymphedema is a painful and disfiguring condition related to the buildup of protein-rich fluid in the body's tissues. The goal of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel, proprietary device in the treatment of upper extremity lymphedema. This device has been previously studied on …
Effect of Lymphovenous Anastomosis on Lower Limb Lymphedema: Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial
This multicentre pragmatic randomised controlled trial evaluates lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) for lower-limb lymphedema (LLL) in Denmark. Adults with unilateral or bilateral International Society of Lymphology (ISL) stage 1-2a LLL who have completed protocol-defined Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) are randomised 1:1 to Intervention arm - LVA surgery plus ongoing compression care …
Surgical Evaluation for Upper Extremity Lymphedema (BioBridge)
To investigate whether the addition of Fibralign's BioBridge® Collagen Matrix (BioBridge) devices to the standard surgery for vascularized lymph node transfer will improve the outcome of surgical treatment in lymphedema of the upper arm.
LymphBridge: Surgical Evaluation for Breast Cancer-Associated Lymphedema (BioBridge)
To investigate whether the addition of Fibralign's BioBridge® Collagen Matrix (BioBridge) devices to the standard surgery for vascularized lymph node transfer will improve the outcome of surgical treatment in lymphedema of the upper arm.
Reversing External-beam Radiotherapy-associated Fibrosis Syndrome: an Interventional Bayesian Adaptive Randomized-controlled Orphan Drug Platform Trial for Orodental Sequelae (Reverse-fibrose)
To find out if adding medication can help treat or prevent lymphedema and/or fibrosis related to radiation therapy, in survivors of head and neck cancer. Researchers will compare these drugs to find the most effective therapy for preventing or limiting these side effects.
Systemic Therapy of Open-label Prophylactic Pravastatin or Pentoxifylline/Tocopherol Prevention of Lymphedema Advancing to Eventual Fibrosis: an Interventional Registry-embedded Bayesian Randomized Trial for Radiation Sequelae (STOP4-LATE-FIBROSE)
To learn if pentoxifylline and vitamin E or pravastatin can reduce radiation-induced lymphedema/fibrosis.
