NCT03379207
Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite recent improvement in acute management (specifically for administration of antibiotics) many severe presentations of pneumonia worsen, progressing to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a clinical entity with 40% hospital mortality. Dysregulation of immune response is thought to be largely implicated in severe pneumonia progressing to ARDS. Notably, experimental studies have recently suggested the implication of non-conventional T lymphocytes and innate cells in this immunopathology. However, no data are available in Humans in clinical settings. This study aims to explore the role of non-conventional T cells in pneumonia and ARDS, in participants. For this purpose, 100 participants admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of CAP will be included, and 50 "control" participants with no pneumonia nor shock. Presence and functionality of non-conventional T cells and innate cells will be explored using flow-cytometry and ex-vivo stimulation, alongside with cytokines productions. These analyses are conducted in the blood, and, for invasively ventilated participants, in tracheal aspirates or broncho-alveolar fluids if available. For each participants included, the analyses are conducted at different time-points during ICU stay: inclusion, day 3, day 8 and day 15. Moreover, participants with ARDS, for whom a post-ICU follow-up program is normally established after discharge, will have blood analysis from blood samples taken during the follow-up visit up to 8 months after inclusion. Immunophenotypage and functionality of non-conventional T cells and innate cells will be compared to clinical parameters and their evolution, between "CAP" participants and "Control" participants", and for each participants, according to the different time-point of analysis, in order to better understand dynamic of innate immunity during pneumonia and ARDS.
NCT06792474
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of lidocaine infusion on intraoperative neuromonitoring in patients undergoing spine surgery.
NCT06406907
Effects of short duration blood flow restriction training on musculoskeletal and performance outcomes.
NCT04748354
Hip fracture is recognized as one of the most serious consequences of osteoporosis, less than half regain pre-fracture independence. 95% of all hip fractures in older adults are due to falls. Thus, reducing fall risk while restoring function post-hip fracture is critical. Many with fall-related hip fractures have cognitive impairment; cognitive impairment increases the risk of falls. The purpose of this 6-month proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to assess the efficacy of the home-based Otago Exercise Program (OEP) compared with usual care in reducing fall risk among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and a fall-related hip fracture.
NCT01286272
This randomized phase II trial studies how well ofatumumab and bendamustine hydrochloride with or without bortezomib works in treating patients with untreated follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ofatumumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether ofatumumab and bendamustine hydrochloride are more effective with bortezomib in treating patients with follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
NCT07245134
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) as a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Participants are randomly assigned to one of the following interventions: a) exposure condition - the group with a standard CBT program enriched with exposure therapy in VR (VRET), b) control condition 1 - the group with a standard CBT program enriched with VR cognitive training aimed at cognitive flexibility or c) control condition 2 - standard CBT program without any additional VR intervention. The treatment effect will be evaluated using pre/post assessments, as well as monitoring adherence to exposure and response prevention assignments.
NCT07246304
This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, expansion, and persistence of TC-D101 CAR-T cells in patients with DLL3-positive Relapsed/Refractory primary small cell lung cancer(r/r SCLC) who have progressed after prior therapies. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), with a secondary aim to assess preliminary clinical efficacy in SCLC.
NCT06930846
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the home-based intervention, HOBSCOTCH-CA, to improve the quality of life and cognitive function in Service Members, Veterans and civilians who are survivors of brain cancer or a brain tumor (CA participants). This study will also assess the ability of the HOBSCOTCH-CA program to improve quality of life in caregivers of patients with brain cancer/tumor and to reduce caregiver burden. Enrolling with a Caregiver is optional for CA participants. Investigators will compare two groups of CA participants and their Caregiver (enrolling with a Caregiver is optional): one who receives HOBSCOCTCH-CA immediately (Group 1) and another group that will receive HOBSCOTCH-CA (Group 2) after a 3-month waiting period. Participants will be in the study for about 6 months total. HOBSCOTCH-CA involves 45 to 60 minute one on one virtual sessions with a certified Cognitive Coach including a "pre" program session and 8 weekly sessions thereafter. Participants will learn about problem solving therapy and mindfulness or relaxation training. CA participants are asked to do short homework assignments and keep a brief daily diary on a smart phone app. All participants complete study questionnaires or surveys at enrollment, 3 months later and at 6 months (at the end of the study).
NCT06431997
This is a randomized controlled trial, aiming to investigate whether a time-restricted eating (TRE) can reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk pregnant women. Investigators intend to conduct a 3-month randomized controlled study to compare the effects of 10-hour TRE and habitual eating time on GDM .
NCT06757491
Objectives: To identify a central hub of visceral pain in IBS-D and elucidate the mechanism by which repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) confers analgesic effects. Methods: A total of 42 IBS-D patients were recruited and randomly assigned (1:1) to the sham rTMS or the rTMS group. A nested cohort of 21 IBS-D participants who completed baseline fMRI assessments prior to randomization was included. Consistent with the randomization procedure，these individuals were evenly distributed between the two groups. Both participants and outcome assessors remained blinded to treatment allocation throughout the study. All patients completed the two-week intervention and were included in the final analysis.
NCT04615104

NCT07241286
This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for pediatric lung surgery at our institution.
NCT03929523
Given the scarce donor supply, an increasing number of so-called marginal or extended criteria donor (ECD) organs have been used for liver transplantation. These ECD liver grafts are, however, known to be associated with a higher rate of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and primary non-function because of a greater vulnerability to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The end-ischemic Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion (HOPE) technique may improve outcomes of liver transplantation with ECD grafts by decreasing reperfusion injury. The study aim is to assess the efficacy of HOPE used before transplantation of ECD liver grafts from brain-dead donors in reducing postoperative EAD within the first 7 postoperative days (POD) compared to simple cold static storage. The study is comparative open-label, multicenter, national, prospective, randomized, in two parallel groups, using the gold standard procedure as control.
NCT07241819
This study is a prospective, II Phase clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab as monotherapy or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in the perioperative treatment of resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients are stratified by PD-L1 expression level (TPS ≥50% vs. \<50%) and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to differentiated neoadjuvant treatment arms: PD-L1≥50% subgroup: Ivonescimab monotherapy (4 cycles) vs. ivonescimab + platinum-based chemotherapy (4 cycles); PD-L1\<50% subgroup: Ivonescimab + 1 cycle of chemotherapy followed by 3 cycles of monotherapy vs. ivonescimab + platinum-based chemotherapy (4 cycles). All patients subsequently receive 13 cycles of ivonescimab as adjuvant maintenance therapy postoperatively. As the first study to explore a PD-L1-directed chemotherapy de-escalation strategy, this trial aims to reduce treatment toxicity while maintaining efficacy, thereby providing a novel personalized precision therapy pathway for resectable NSCLC.
NCT02893605
This is a case-control study performed on a biological collection. The polymorphisms present on a pre-defined list of genes will be studied for 400 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (sporadic type) DNA samples and 400 control DNA samples.
NCT06628505
The investigators are working on a project to help people who have had mild brain injuries hear better. Sometimes, these injuries can make it hard for people to hear clearly, especially in noisy places or when trying to tell where sounds are coming from. The project is testing special training exercises that have helped healthy people improve their hearing in these situations. The goal is to see if these exercises can also help people with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). If these exercises work, they could help doctors give better treatment to people with hearing problems after a brain injury. This would be especially helpful for soldiers who need to stay ready for duty. It could also make life better for veterans who struggle with hearing issues and help lower the cost of healthcare.
NCT05146778
In 230 patients undergoing mastectomy, the investigators will compare opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) versus conventional opioid-based anesthesia in terms of chronic pain. The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned into two groups with 1:1 ratio. Chronic pain will be evaluated at 1 year after mastectomy based on the Breast Cancer Pain Questionnaire (BCPQ). Baseline pain sensitivity test and psychologic evaluation will be done before operation.
NCT05743621
The purpose of this study is to determine what effects (good and bad) Enzalutamide and TVB-2640 have in the treatment of prostate cancer whose prostate cancer has spread to other parts of their body and that has not gotten better with previous treatment. This study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the side effects of an investigational drug or an investigational combination with another drug. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and research doctors are trying to find out more about it. Although Enzalutamide is already being used to treat men with prostate cancer, combining Enzalutamide with TVB-2640 together in patients with prostate cancer is considered experimental. This research study is being done because additional effective treatments are needed for prostate cancer that has spread and is growing despite hormone suppression. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn if combining Enzalutamide with TVB-2640 can be done safely. Participation in this research will last about 12 to 24 months after enrollment.
NCT07242027
This observational study aims to determine whether three blood test ratios - lactate-to-albumin, CRP-to-albumin, and procalcitonin-to-albumin - can predict in-hospital mortality among critically ill adults. The study includes all adult patients admitted in 2024 to the ICU Ward B at the Silesian Center for Heart Diseases (SCCS) in Zabrze. Researchers will analyze retrospective clinical and laboratory data from electronic medical records, including lab values collected at ICU admission, patient demographics, diagnoses, and outcomes. The biomarker ratios will be manually calculated in Excel and statistically evaluated. The main goal is to assess whether these ratios are associated with patient survival and to identify predictive cut-off values to support early risk stratification in the ICU setting.
