NCT07264426
The aims of this study are to assess the real-world effectiveness of efgartigimod in treating chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), describe the "treatment journey" of participants with CIDP, and assess the utilization of health care services among adult participants with CIDP who initiate treatment with efgartigimod. As this is a noninterventional study, treatment choices and decisions will be left to the discretion of participants and their physicians, according to the standard of care. Each participant will be prospectively followed for up to 2 years from the date of initial administration of efgartigimod.
NCT07547020
Hemodynamic instability is a common and serious condition in patients undergoing liver transplantation and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality if not promptly recognized and treated. It results from multiple interacting factors, including blood loss, changes in vascular tone, cardiac dysfunction, and complications related to the surgical procedure. Traditional monitoring strategies focus on global hemodynamic variables such as blood pressure and cardiac output. However, these parameters may not accurately reflect tissue perfusion or oxygen delivery at the microcirculatory level. As a result, patients may appear hemodynamically stable while still experiencing inadequate tissue oxygenation. This study aims to evaluate hemodynamic instability using an integrative physiological approach based on the interaction between different components of the cardiovascular system. Specifically, the study will assess four key interfaces: the relationship between the heart and the arterial system, the coherence between macrocirculation and microcirculation, the interaction between venous return and the right atrium, and the coupling between the right ventricle and the pulmonary circulation. The main objective is to identify distinct hemodynamic profiles in patients during the immediate postoperative period following liver transplantation. In addition, the study will evaluate the incidence of tissue hypoxia within the first 24 hours and its association with clinical outcomes, including 30-day evolution. This is a prospective observational study conducted in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit after liver transplantation who develop hemodynamic instability requiring vasoactive support. During the first 24 hours, multimodal hemodynamic monitoring will be performed, including assessment of cardiac function, vascular tone, venous congestion, pulmonary circulation, and markers of tissue perfusion such as lactate levels and capillary refill time. By integrating these variables, patients will be classified into different hemodynamic profiles according to the predominant underlying mechanism. This approach aims to improve the understanding of cardiovascular dysfunction in this setting and to support more individualized and physiologically guided management strategies.
NCT07548489
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the medication phenobarbital is as effective for treating agitated delirium among adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Agitated delirium is a condition involving confusion and impulsiveness which is dangerous to both patients and healthcare providers. The main questions this trial aims to answer include: * Can phenobarbital decrease the amount of time patients with agitated delirium spend in the intensive care unit and the hospital? * Does phenobarbital decrease the amount of additional calming medications patients with agitated delirium need? Researchers in this study will compare phenobarbital to other medications commonly used to treat agitated delirium. Participants will be monitored closely to make sure they remain safe and to measure how well their agitation and confusion are managed while they are in the ICU.
NCT05919264
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if FOG-001 is safe and effective in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
NCT06385483
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well afatinib works in treating patients with cancer that has certain genetic changes. Afatinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It is used in patients whose cancer has a certain mutation (change) in the EGFR gene. It works by blocking the action of mutated EGFR that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.
NCT07548385
This is a prospective, randomized study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of Suzetrigine, a new pain medication, to well established peri-operative pain regimen used for total knee replacement surgery will effect pain control. 1. Does Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the total opioid consumed after total knee replacement surgery? 2. Dose Suzetrigine given pre-operatively decrease the visual analog pain scale pain scores after total knee replacement surgery? Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Suzetrigine medication or placebo medication.

NCT07547514
This clinical study aims to investigate the effects of yoga on children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). DCD is a condition that can make it difficult for children to perform everyday activities, as it affects their ability to plan movements, maintain balance, and coordinate their actions. Children with DCD may also experience challenges related to attention, perception, and coping with stress. The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a structured yoga program can improve children's sensory (how they perceive and process information from their environment), motor (movement and coordination), and cognitive (attention, planning, and problem-solving) skills, as well as reduce their perceived stress levels. Yoga is a holistic approach that includes breathing exercises, body awareness, balance activities, and relaxation techniques, which may support both physical and mental well-being. The hypothesis of the study is that children with DCD who participate in the yoga program will show greater improvements in sensory-motor and cognitive skills and experience lower levels of perceived stress compared to those who do not participate or who receive standard support. Regular yoga practice is expected to help children become more aware of their bodies, perform movements more effectively, and gain greater independence in daily activities. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of intervention programs for children with DCD and to provide evidence on whether yoga can be an effective complementary approach to support their overall development.

The study will assess mental and physical impacts through self-report, physiological, and neuroimaging methods.
NCT07525882
This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate the effects of glycemic control and clinical parameters on tibial nerve conduction latency in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Adults aged 45 to 76 years with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be evaluated at a neurology and clinical neurophysiology clinic. Data collection will include demographic and clinical characteristics, diabetes type and duration, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c values obtained from routine clinical records. Participants will also be assessed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), including both the questionnaire and physical examination components. Nerve conduction studies will be performed using standard electromyography procedures, and tibial nerve conduction latency will be recorded. The study will examine the relationship between tibial nerve conduction latency and glycemic control parameters, neuropathy screening scores, and diabetes duration. The findings may help improve early identification and clinical evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
NCT02587455
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the UK with around 43,500 new patients diagnosed each year. About 69% of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage disease and at present these patients would be expected to survive for less than 12 months. These statistics therefore show the need for the development of new effective drugs in the treatment of advanced Lung cancer. Recent trial results have shown the efficacy of immunotherapy in treating several types of tumours including lung cancer. These tumours are known to express a high level of a glycoprotein called PDL1 which is a component of the PD1 pathway. In cancer the PD1 pathway can be hijacked by tumours leading to the immune system being suppressed. The aim of the new drug Pembrolizumab is to restart the PD1 pathway and use the immune system to help fight the cancer cells. Radiotherapy has also been shown to cause cancer to increase production of the proteins that can block the immune system. Therefore it has been proposed that combine of new immunotherapy agent such as pembrolizumab and radiotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer will allow more cancer cells to be killed through the immune system. The purpose of this study is to see if pembrolizumab can safety be combined with standard palliative radiotherapy in patients with lung cancer. In addition once the patients have completed their course of radiotherapy they will remain on pembrolizumab alone and the study will look at how well this treatment regimen can control the growth of the cancer.

Ultimately, this research aims to improve patient outcomes, enhance surgical techniques, and inform clinical decision-making in the treatment of shoulder pathology.
NCT07170085
Acute respiratory insufficiency is one of the most common causes of hospitalization and death among young children. It often affects small children who, due to infections with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), other cold viruses, or bacteria, experience difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, low oxygen levels in the blood, and reduced appetite. If left untreated, a child can become exhausted, lose consciousness, and ultimately die from the condition. Children with severe acute respiratory insufficiency occupy most of the acute care beds in the pediatric wards of hospitals during the winter months. Some children are treated simply with saline inhalations, nasal saline drops, and suctioning of the nose, but many require respiratory support in the form of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or high-flow oxygen therapy. In adults, it has been observed that prone positioning can improve blood oxygenation compared to supine positioning in cases of acute respiratory insufficiency. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are benefits or drawbacks to positioning small children admitted for difficulty breathing due to respiratory infections in a prone position instead of a supine position. The study will include a total of 40 children with acute airway disease who have been prescribed respiratory support in the form of CPAP or high-flow oxygen. The study will last a total of 2 hours and will not involve any uncomfortable procedures or pose any risks to the child. The Study Itself: Once the child has CPAP or high-flow oxygen administered via the nose, the child will be positioned for 1 hour in the prone position and 1 hour in the supine position. The order will be random and determined by lottery. A nurse will record the child's breathing in both the prone and supine positions. After the two hours, the child will be placed in the supine position, which is standard practice in the department. The child will have a pulse oximeter on both during the study and afterwards.
