NCT06616155
This phase I/II tests the safety, side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib in combination with enzalutamide and how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer that remains despite blocking hormone production (castration-resistant) and that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic). Ruxolitinib, a kinase inhibitor, slows down the growth of the tumor by blocking the proteins, JAK1 and JAK2, tumors use to grow. Enzalutamide, an androgen receptor inhibitor, works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone). This may help stop the growth and spread of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving ruxolitinib in combination with enzalutamide may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
NCT02908048
The study will examine and evaluate the use of extracellular RNA in blood as markers for the diagnosis of liver disease or cancer, and as markers for prediction of response to treatment or recurrence of cancer after surgery
NCT04333537
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nodes in your neck. Using sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery may work better in treating patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer compared to standard elective neck dissection.
NCT04145115
This phase II trial studies the effect of immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in treating patients with glioma that has come back (recurrent) and carries a high number of mutations (mutational burden). Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to genes that control the way cells function. Tumors with high number of mutations may respond well to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as ipilimumab and nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab may lower the chance of recurrent glioblastoma with high number of mutations from growing or spreading compared to usual care (surgery or chemotherapy).
NCT02391324
Robot assisted gait training is seen as a promising intervention for improving the walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy, but research to support its effectiveness compared to best practice physical therapy is lacking. This research consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a qualitative descriptive study that is linked with the RCT. The goal of the RCT is to compare: 1) a walking training program with the Lokomat® robotic device (LOK), 2) a functional physical therapy program (fPT) that includes activities to enhance balance/co-ordination/endurance and advanced motor skills conducted over 'real ground', 3) a combined Lokomat® + functional physical therapy (LOK+fPT) program, and 4) a regular maintenance therapy condition (CONT) for ambulatory children and youth with CP (aged 5- 18 years). The three intervention programs will consist of sixteen 50-minute sessions given twice weekly over 8 to 10 weeks. The primary objective of the RCT is to compare the four groups with respect to walking-related motor skills as measured by the Gross Motor Function Measure. The secondary objectives are to compare each intervention's impact on walking abilities, individualized goals, fitness, balance, physical activity levels, child's belief in ability to do physical activity, participation and quality of life. The investigators will also evaluate the extent of carryover or progress 3 months after the intervention. The qualitative part of the study will consist of interviews of children and parents after they have finished the study intervention. The information from the interviews will assist us with interpretation of the outcome results (areas of impact and amount of change) from the RCT. In particular, the interviews will 1) provide insight into their experiences with the trial interventions, 2) identify the mobility-related outcomes that are important to families and the factors that influence their preferences, and 3) explain the family values, experiences and contextual factors that influenced participation in the study. This research will provide information needed to allow clinicians and families to make informed choices about Lokomat therapy and physical therapy options in relation to their child's functional goals and abilities.
NCT06500455
This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) to usual care stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with cancer that has spread from where it first started to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. FSRS delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor over 3 treatments. SRS is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. FSRS may be more effective compared to SRS in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain.
NCT05869955
The purpose of this study is to establish the tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CC-97540 in participants with severe, refractory autoimmune diseases (Breakfree-1).
NCT06792539
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Polymotion Hip Resurfacing (PHR) System compared to total hip arthroplasty, for adults who require hip resurfacing arthroplasty due to 1) non-inflammatory arthritis (degenerative joint disease) such as osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or 2) mild dysplasia/developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) up to Crowe Grade 1.
NCT05038709
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area, thus reducing numbness. The investigators hypothesize that positioning hip arthroscopy patients using a traction pad on a standard traction table with a perineal post will reduce the incidence and duration of postoperative perineal numbness.
NCT07435428
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of a single dose of IPN10200 compared to placebo (double-blind phase) and how well and safely repeat doses of IPN10200 work over time (open-label phase) in adult participants with moderate to severe glabellar lines. Glabellar lines are wrinkle-like lines that appear between the eyebrows and can become more noticeable with age or repeated facial expressions. They may affect a person's appearance and confidence. All participants in the double-blind phase will receive IPN10200 or placebo during the first treatment cycle. De novo participants in the open-label phase will receive IPN10200 during the first treatment cycle. Some participants may receive additional treatment cycles with IPN10200 depending on their eligibility. There will be 3 periods in this study: * A screening period (up to 20 days) to assess whether the participant can take part, requiring at least 1 visit to the study centre. * A treatment period where participants may receive up to 4 treatment cycles. In the double-blind phase, participants receive a single treatment of IPN10200 or placebo. In the open-label phase (rollover participants from double-blind), eligible participants may receive additional cycles of IPN10200. In the open-label phase (de novo participants), participants will receive IPN10200 in the first cycle and eligible participants may receive additional cycles of IPN10200. Requires multiple visits during the first month followed by 1 visit every month. * A follow-up period (24 weeks) after the last injection where participants' health will be monitored. Participants will undergo health measurements and observation, including blood sampling, physical examinations, clinical evaluations and electrocardiograms (ECG: recording of the electrical activity of heart). They will also be asked to fill in questionnaires and keep a diary. Each participant will be in this study for up to 107 weeks. Participants may withdraw consent to participate at any time.
NCT06795048
This study is a Phase IIIb/IV, multicenter, randomized, two-arm, open-label 100-week study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and durability of intravitreal 6-mg faricimab administered at up to 24-week intervals in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) that are treatment-naïve in the study eye.
NCT04240561
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, such that very low working memory capacity and overall reduced cognitive capacity will limit benefit from advanced signal processing. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia will receive greater benefit from acoustically simple, high-fidelity hearing aid processing that minimally alters the acoustic signal.
