NCT04476043
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of INCB054707 in participants with hidradenitis suppurativa over a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment period followed by a 36-week open-label extension period. All eligible participants will be invited to continue treatment for an additional 48-week Long-term extension period (also open label).
NCT04530630
This is an open-label study, where participants will be switched from their current HIV medication to the study drug, BIC/F/TAF. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will know what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for 48 weeks in order to monitor the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BIC/F/TAF. The investigator hypothesizes that BIC/F/TAF will be an important addition to the management of HIV-positive post renal transplant patients, especially since it is a one pill daily dosing regimen, thereby decreasing the pill burden in this population.
NCT05019638
The investigators plan to evaluate the efficacy in reducing post-operative pain between local multimodal analgesia as compared to regional anesthesia in rotational ankle fractures.
NCT05038254
This clinical trial studies if enhanced outpatient symptom management with telemedicine and remote monitoring can help reduce acute care visit due to chemotherapy-related adverse events. Receiving telemedicine and remote monitoring may help patients have better outcomes (such as fewer avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, better quality of life, fewer symptoms, and fewer treatment delays) than patients who receive usual care.
NCT05045612
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most urgent health threats of our time, and Norwegian hospitals were required to reduce the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics with 30% by the end of 2020. In the current proposal, the investigators aim to assess the efficacy and safety of early discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in adult patients infected with respiratory viruses. A general recommendation to treat all instances of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients with antibiotics leads to significant antibiotic overtreatment. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of multiple respiratory virus nucleic acids simultaneously. The wide availability of such nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) for rapid viral detection together with chest radiographs has the potential to define patients who can be managed without antibiotics. Akershus University Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Norway, with a catchment area of more than 550,000 people. In 2012 to 2013, the majority of patients admitted to Akershus University Hospital with suspected CAP and a positive viral NAAT were treated with antibiotics, a prescription pattern representing antibiotic overtreatment. The investigators accordingly hypothesize that discontinuation of antibiotic therapy in patients with moderately severe disease and airway sample positive for respiratory viruses is safe and non-inferior to continuation of antibiotic therapy.

Investigation of the clinical efficacy of 3 intralymphatic injections with grass pollen extract into inguinal lymph nodes on combined symptom-medication scores during grass pollen season in grass pollen allergic patients compared to placebo
NCT05316220
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by diffuse, continuous inflammation of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective mesalamine delayed-release capsules are in treating pediatric participants with UC. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Delzicol (Mesalamine) is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 80 Pediatric participants aged 5 to 17 years with a diagnosis of UC will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites in the United States. Participants will receive oral mesalamine capsules twice daily for 26 weeks and followed for 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
NCT05826418
Recurrent Clostridioides difficle infection (rCDI) is a very significant problem in its own right and current fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) -based therapeutics will benefit from their optimization for this indication. It is likely that appropriate nutritional support coupled with microbiota-based drugs will yield superior clinical outcomes. However, both diet and gut microbiome are very complex. This project, which is based on a wealth of FMT experience, both clinical and investigational, over the past decade along with the novel techniques developed to identify dietary patterns and food groups that explain the most variation in gut microbiome, offers an ideal platform for performing systematic research in nutritional support that promotes gut microbiota health. The purpose is to Generate preliminary data with regards to tolerability of the Microbiota enhancing and nourishing diet (MEND) and its effects on the fecal microbiota in rCDI patients following FMT with the goal of developing larger clinical trials aimed to optimize post-FMT dietary management.
NCT06001645
Barotrauma (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum) is a well-described complication of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), especially in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (16.1% in COVID-19, and about 6% in non-COVID-19 ARDS). Macklin effect was recently discovered by our group as an accurate radiological predictor of barotrauma in COVID-19 ARDS; the Investigators also found that density histograms automatically extracted from chest CT images provide a reliable insight into lung composition . Since lung frailty is a major issue also in non-COVID-19 ARDS, the Investigators want to confirm the predictive role of Macklin effect also in this setting. In addition, the Investigators aim to explore inflammatory profiling to decipher different biological aspects of the same clinical issue. Finally, the Investigators want to develop a specific management algorithm for patients diagnosed, according to our findings, with a specific ARDS sub phenotype characterized by increased lung frailty
NCT06450925
The investigators hypothesize that single oral high dose supplementation with vitamin A will reduce the incidence of moderate-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared with placebo.
NCT06904404
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the early post-operative benefits of performing phacoemulsification at physiologic intraocular pressures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there less post operative corneal edema? * Is there less post operative inflammation? * Is the post operative vision better? Participants will undergo phacoemulsification cataract surgery with either high or low IOP settings Researchers will compare post op corneal edema, inflammatory marker levels and vision
NCT07105527
From an anesthesiological perspective, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an operation that is increasingly being performed with locoregional techniques and sedation. The aim of this observational study was to compare dexmedetomidine with midazolam and fentanyl during CEA in terms of perioperative adverse events, patient, anesthetist, and surgeon satisfaction, as well as the possible reduction in clamping time and the number of times additional local anaesthesia is needed. Sixty patients listed for CEA were enrolled and two types of sedation were used, both protocols widely used in our hospital, resulting in the formation of two groups of patients. Both the intermediate and superficial cervical plexus blocks were administered, and the patients in Group 1 were sedated with midazolam and fentanyl, and Group 2 was sedated with dexmedetomidine. The investigators examined comorbidities, surgical time and clamping, and possible intraoperative use of local anaesthetics and intraprocedural complications, and follow-up at 180 days to observe any residual deficits. The data were analysed with Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Statistics 25 (IBM).
NCT07116798
This study aims to compare the effects of two different upper extremity strengthening exercise approaches-bilateral strengthening exercises based on Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns and plyometric exercises-on muscle thickness, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and functional performance in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Although strengthening exercises targeting the affected upper limb in children with USCP have been investigated in numerous studies, to our knowledge, no previous research has directly compared the effects of bilateral PNF-based strengthening exercises and plyometric training. Incorporating PNF patterns into upper extremity rehabilitation programs has been previously recommended, and examining the efficacy of these exercises in comparison with plyometric training may contribute valuable insights to the literature and inform clinical practice.
NCT07118917
SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than 776 million people worldwide, raising concerns about its impact on patients with lung cancer, the most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women. Previous studies have suggested that COVID-19 may worsen lung dysfunction in patients undergoing surgery and that the coexistence of COVID-19 and lung cancer increases the risk of complications and mortality. It has been recommended that surgery be delayed after COVID-19 infection to reduce postoperative risk. This study examined the effects of prior COVID-19 infection on respiratory mechanics in patients undergoing thoracic surgery for lung cancer.
NCT06525818
The overall objective of this proposal is to test an interdisciplinary intervention to support the transition to oral feeding for children with feeding tubes and tracheostomies. The investigators' model which combines in-home clinical assessments with virtual therapies may maximize the impact of expert interventionists. The investigators' central hypothesis is that children with feeding tubes and tracheostomies will have greater success than a control group when enrolled in a hybrid in-person/virtual intervention including: (1) a coordinated feeding team with an occupational therapist, speech/language pathologist, and registered dietitian; (2) family liaison study coordinators who are poised to support the family through personal experience; (3) a project leader who is a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician with expertise in children with tracheostomies. The overall objective of this proposal is to test this intervention to increase oral feeding in children with feeding tubes and tracheostomies. To pursue this objective, the investigators propose the following aims: Specific Aim 1: Children enrolled in the intervention group will have improved caregiver self-efficacy and reduced worry related to feeding as determined by The Feeding and Swallowing Impact Survey at the end of a 1-year intervention. Specific Aim 2: Children enrolled in the intervention group will have increased oral vs. tube-fed calories and reduced dependence on feeding tubes as determined by detailed dietary histories and The Children's Eating and Drinking Activity Scale (CEDAS) at the end of a 1-year intervention. The investigators' intervention will determine if a tertiary center of expertise can use a combination of home assessments and virtual interventions to address critical feeding needs for children with tracheostomies. Future clinicians could refer patients to the investigators' center instead of relying on community therapists, who rarely exist. The weekly feeding group sessions as well as the administration of the therapies in a virtual format are research-related. While the therapy techniques implemented during the study are standard of care and within the practice parameters of the practitioners involved, the use of them in a virtual format are novel and should be considered research-related.
NCT07118436
Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in men worldwide. After exhausting guideline-compliant therapies or in accordance with the approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto®), patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) can be offered radioligand therapy (RLT) that targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Despite an initially high response rate to PSMA-RLT, the disease often progresses rapidly again. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Liquid biopsy (LBx) involves the collection and analysis of body fluids, particularly blood. Its major advantage compared to a tissue sample is its non-invasive nature, allowing for multiple samplings, as well as the examination of more than just a single punctured lesion. Among other things, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be detected in the blood. The aim of this study is to apply LBx before, during, and after PSMA-RLT in patients with mCRPC to determine prognostic factors before therapy and to assess the value of LBx in evaluating treatment response. Furthermore, LBx will be used to gather information on the course of potential tumor heterogeneities and to determine resistance mechanisms against PSMA-RLT. To this end, patients receiving PSMA-RLT will be enrolled in the study at three sites (University Hospital Wuerzburg, University Hospital Augsburg, Klinikum rechts der Isar Munich). The evaluation of clinical and imaging parameters will be carried out centrally at the University Hospital Wuerzburg, while the analysis of LBx will be performed at the University Hospital Augsburg.
NCT07117851
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Disitamab Vedotin combined with Bicalutamide works to treat advanced HER2-positive and AR- positive extramammary Paget disease of the scrotum. It will also learn about the safety of this combination. All patients received Disitamab Vedotin every 2 weeks and Bicalutamide everyday. Follow-up was conducted until disease progression, intolerable adverse reactions occur withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, loss to follow-up, or death. Clinical tumor imaging assessments were performed using RECIST during the treatment process.
NCT06412172
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is an orphan disease that affects approximately 20,000 people in the United States and is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Since RRP is an orphan disease, it is an understudied disease entity with correspondingly few treatment options. The investigators hypothesize that by understanding the biology of RRP and the failed host immune responses against HPV, novel and rational therapies can be developed. This study will examine the genetic and immunologic alterations found in these rare tumors and distant metastatic involved sites (such as the lung) in patients diagnosed with RRP.
NCT06950190
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of a structured low-intensity exercise program on cognitive function in adult cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The study enrolls 100 participants who are randomly assigned to either a standard care group or an exercise intervention group. Cognitive function is measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline, 6, 9, and 12 months. Participants in the intervention group are instructed to double their baseline daily step count, tracked via pedometer, while those in the control group maintain their usual activity. All patients are given the pedometer for one week prior to the start of chemo to monitor their step count and determine their baseline. The study also collects self-reported data on cognitive difficulties and psychological well-being. The primary objective is to determine whether regular physical activity mitigates chemotherapy-related cognitive decline ("chemo brain") and whether MoCA scores correlate with patients' subjective experiences. This low-cost, home-based approach may offer an accessible strategy for preserving cognitive function during cancer treatment.
