NCT02903966
This study is the first experience with GSK2982772, a receptor-interacting protein-1 (RIP1) kinase inhibitor, in subjects with active ulcerative colitis (UC). The primary objective will be to investigate the safety and tolerability of repeat oral doses of GSK2982772 60 mg or placebo three times daily for 42 days (Part A) followed by open label with GSK298772 60 mg three times daily for 42 days (Part B). In addition to pharmacokinetics (PK), a number of experimental and clinical endpoints will be employed to obtain information on the pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy in subjects with active UC. Although no formal hypothesis will be tested, these endpoints will enable a broader understanding of the mechanism of action and potential for clinical efficacy of GSK2982772 in UC. Within 30 Days of screening visit, subjects will be randomized to receive either GSK2982772 60 mg or placebo orally three times daily for 42 Days (6 weeks) in a 2:1 ratio in Part A study. Subjects who complete the Part A study will move to open label Part B study to receive GSK2982772 60 mg three times daily for an additional 42 Days (6 weeks). After the open label (Part B) treatment period, subjects will enter the Follow-up period which lasts for 28 Days (+/- 3 Days) post the last administration of study medication. The total duration of participation in the study will be approximately 20 Weeks from screening to the last study visit.
NCT00579280

NCT04425278
Study of tDCS intervention on motivational anhedonia of Major Depressive Disorder
NCT03286270
Early intervention attempts to shorten protracted delayed union (DU) or prevent non-union (NU) fractures are hampered by lack of validated quantitative assessment tools for bone fracture healing during normal and delayed healing processes. In actual practice, sequential X-rays usually follow a pre-determined time interval in patients with fractures.They constitute the best available state of the art used by surgeons to assess the fracture healing course. In an attempt to improve between raters reliability of radiographic assessment of healing, studies have explored a novel radiographic assessment for tibial shaft fractures, the Radiographic Union Scale for Tibial Fractures (RUST). The RUST assesses the presence of bridging callus and a fracture line on each of four cortices (seen on anterior-posterior and lateral views). This callus based scoring system has been since extended to other bones than the tibia in a retrospective case series. It has been renamed modified radiological union score (mRUS) and has shown potential value in bone healing measurement. Based on an initial retrospective study in nail-treated fractures, the first objective of the present investigation is to prospectively validate mRUS as a tool to identify patients at increased risk of DU and NU within the first 75-110 days after fracture occurrence. This prospective validation will be performed on a retrospective cohort of patients having sustained long bone fractures, including both upper and lower extremities. A further objective of the present investigation is to apply the scoring system to tomographic imaging in case of nail/plate treated fractures, deriving a tomographic union score (TUS) and first assess its potential value in bone healing for fractures treated by nails/plates.
NCT03300609
This randomized trial studies how well panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction work in treating patients with RAS wild type colorectal cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving panitumumab, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil after combination chemotherapy and panitumumab induction may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
NCT03585387
This clinical investigation is intended to evaluate the ability of a magnetic cardiac positioning system to decrease medical radiation exposure on a peripheral angioplasty procedure in patients with a peripheral artery stenosis.
NCT04425694
Early Warning Score (EWS) is a tool designed to help clinicians efficiently identify and track patients who have or develop acute illness, and make timely clinical responses. The calculation and charting of EWSs at Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH) is a manual process at present. The purpose of this study is to automate the EWS calculation and charting process using an electronic EWS (e-EWS) system. However, while the e-EWS system could potentially reduce ward staff's workload and improve patient safety, its effectiveness can only be realized through good human factors (HF) design that matches users' expectations, requirements and work practices. Therefore, our aim is to carry out HF methods in order to inform design of the e-EWS system before its implementation in a selected surgical ward in the hospital. After its implementation, we will also conduct evaluation of the e-EWS system to assess its effectiveness with respect to clinical outcomes.
NCT03565731
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a brief program to help overweight people become more physically active. We plan to design a program that teaches people how to become more active by identifying how fitness enables them to live their lives better. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and wear a device that tracks their exercise for 1 week. If accepted into the study, they will receive a 1 day program designed to help them exercise more. Then they will receive phone calls and emails for support after the program. Finally, participants will come in 3 and 6 months after the program to complete the same questionnaires and wear the exercise tracker again. The study is primarily interested in increasing exercise levels, and so we hope to see participants exercising more after the program than they were before. We will also ask them questions (via the questionnaires) that tell us the degree to which they are exercising based on their one desires and values, as opposed to doing it because they were told to.
NCT04037722
This study evaluates the cardiovascular effects of adding the ketone body 3-hydroxy butyrate (3-OHB) to whey protein during human endotoxemia.

NCT03450746
The air we breathe contains 21% of oxygen. Oxygen is vital for the cells ability to produce energy and without it we could not survive. Oxygen normally exists as a molecule consisting of two atoms, O2. It has two unpaired electrons and thus is unstable and willing to accept electrons to become stable. During the formation of ATP a transportation of electrons happens over the inner membrane of the mitochondria's. Oxygen can accept these and is thereby reduced to water. Normally about 4% is not fully reduced and instead produces superoxide. Superoxide is transformed to hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and then into oxygen and water by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. It is also possible for hydrogen peroxide to be converted to hydroxyl radicals by Fenton reactions. All these radicals are called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and they are highly reactive and capable to induce damage to cellular components as proteins, DNA and lipids. Under normal conditions SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase work as anti-oxidative compounds to prevent oxidative stress and damage. However, under hyperoxic conditions these defences can be overwhelmed, resulting in the formation of excess ROS and thus oxidative damage. During general anaesthesia the use of supplemental oxygen to avoid life-threatening hypoxaemia has been common practice for many years and a fixed fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 is often used. This lead to supranormal levels of oxygen in the lungs and most of the patients also have supranormal levels of partial pressure of arterial oxygen in their blood. This study will examine otherwise healthy ambulant patients undergoing minor orthopaedic surgery during general anaesthesia to elucidate metabolic and physiological changes caused by ventilation with FiO2 0.50 for at least 45 minutes using standard respiratory settings. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and arterial blood will be collected prior to and after surgery. The two EBCs and two blood samples will be stored at -80°C for analysis after all patients have been included. The metabolic changes will be measured with NMR technique and multivariate statistical analysis comparing baseline values with values obtained after oxygen exposure. Collapse of the small airways induced by anaesthesia and FiO2 will be evaluated by measuring resistance and reactance with airway oscillometry after surgery compared to a baseline measurement before surgery.
NCT04182282

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a medical emergency and a frequent cause of death. CS can be complicated and/or precipitated by mitral regurgitation (MR). The efficacy of percutaneous treatment of MR in patients with cardiogenic shock is unknown. The aims of the study will be to analyse the efficacy of MitraClip therapy on early (30 days) and midterm mortality (6 months) as well as the predictors of outcomes. Investigators will also report the rate of periprocedural complications such as minor and major bleeding, vessel injury and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). It is a multicenter retrospective observational study on CE marked medical device (MitraClip® System). Retrospective time range: from 01/01/2012 to 01/01/2020
NCT04420442
Non-suicidal self-inflicted (NSSI) scars can act as a physical reminder of previous self-inflicted self-harm, thereby not only worsening the symptoms of depression and self-doubt but also leading to recurrent self-infliction and social exclusion. Several different treatment options exist to alter the appearance of NSSI scars like pulsed-dye laser therapy (PDL), non-ablative fractional laser therapy, dermabrasion or elliptical excision. However, none of these treatment options can completely diminish the scars. In the majority of cases, the unique scar pattern of NSSI scars and in addition to that the "reminder" remains. In contrast to regular scar revisions, the aesthetical appearance is not the most important outcome parameter as the main focus of the surgical treatment is destigmatization. The surgical transformation of the scar into a burn-like scar could change the scar-perception of the society and the patient, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and body perception. Surgical resection with preservation of the subcutaneous tissue followed by consecutive reconstruction with a bilayer dermal regenerative matrix (IntegraTM) and split skin grafts might represent a promising and novel therapeutic approach. The hypothesis is that by surgically transforming the non-suicidal self-inflicted scars into a burn-like scar the patient's body and scar perception will be positively altered and the stigmatization by the society reduced.
