NCT07133633
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA). R-axSpA is a type of arthritis that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation (swelling) in the spine and joints in the pelvis (hip bone). Radiographic means the damage it causes can be seen on X-rays. This study will help find out if a study medicine called tulisokibart can treat symptoms of r-axSpA. Researchers will look at different doses of tulisokibart. Researchers want to know if at least one of the study doses of tulisokibart works better than a placebo to improve r-axSpA symptoms. A placebo looks like the study medicine but has no study medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study medicine.
NCT05225714
Assessment of performance of Silkam® suture material for skin closure. A prospective, single center, single arm, observational study in daily practice.
NCT05989646
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the activity in brain areas controlling the bladder is different among children suffering from Overactive Bladder (OAB) and Daytime Urinary Incontinence (DUI) compared to age- and gender-matched healthy children without bladder symptoms. Moreover, the aim is to investigate if sacral transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) has a central mechanism of action. Children with OAB and DUI will be recruited from involved pediatric departments, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will be performed before and after 10 weeks of sacral TENS. In healthy children without bladder symptoms, only the baseline fMRI will be performed.

The study will be conducted as a Phase II trial. Forty patients will be included in the study cohort. All patients will be followed closely for toxicities and response assessment. After completion of treatment, patients will be followed every 6 months for survival until 5 years after enrolment
NCT07540169
In this study, we will observe the effects of the Stress Ball.
NCT05237960
This phase IIb trial tests whether metformin works in preventing oral cancer in patients with oral leukoplakia (white patches) or erythroplakia (red patches). Metformin is in a class of drugs called biguanides. Metformin helps to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It decreases the amount of glucose patients absorb from food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. Metformin also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. This trial may help researchers determine if metformin can stop changes in the mouth that are related to pre-cancer growths in the mouth.
NCT07539337
This randomized controlled study aims to compare the acute effects of bench press (BP) and machine chest press (MCP) exercises on the mechanical properties of the pectoralis major muscle in resistance-trained bodybuilders. Sixteen male athletes are randomly assigned to BP or MCP groups. Both groups perform four sets of ten repetitions at 80% of one-repetition maximum with equalized volume load. Muscle mechanical properties, including oscillation frequency, stiffness, decrement, relaxation time, and creep, are measured using MyotonPRO before and immediately after exercise. The study hypothesizes that BP will induce greater stiffness due to higher stabilization demands, whereas MCP will produce greater increases in oscillation frequency due to more isolated loading.
NCT07219147
This phase I trial compares the effect of lutetium Lu 177 (177\^Lu)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 in combination with Sipuleucel-T to 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 alone in treating patients with prostate that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and has continued to grow and spread despite surgical or medical intervention to block androgen production (castration-resistant). 177\^Lu-PSMA-617, a type of radioconjugate, binds to a protein called PSMA, which is found on some prostate tumor cells. It gives off radiation that may kill the tumor cells. Sipuleucel-T, a type of vaccine and a type of cellular adoptive immunotherapy, is made from immune system cells. The cells are treated with a protein that is made by combining a protein found on prostate tumor cells with a growth factor. When the cells are injected back into the patient, they may stimulate T cells to kill prostate tumor cells. Giving 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with sipuleucel-T may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective compared to 177\^Lu-PSMA-617 alone in treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
NCT03340506
This study is to provide access for patients who are receiving treatment with dabrafenib and/or trametinib in a Novartis-sponsored Oncology Global Development, Global Medical Affairs or a former GSK-sponsored study who have fulfilled the requirements for the primary objective, and who are judged by the investigator as benefiting from continued treatment in the parent study as judged by the Investigator at the completion of the parent study.
NCT07538375
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone injection in reducing postoperative pain after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Patients are divided into two groups: one receiving standard local anesthesia, and the other receiving an additional dexamethasone injection postoperatively. Pain levels are assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery. The study is conducted at 28 Military Dental Centre, Lahore.
NCT05407636
ABBV-RGX-314 (also known as RGX-314 and surabgene lomparvovec (sura-vec)) is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. Wet AMD is a significant cause of vision loss in the United States, Europe and Japan, with up to 2 million people living with wet AMD in these geographies alone. Current anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies have significantly changed the landscape for treatment of wet AMD, becoming the standard of care due to their ability to prevent progression of vision loss in the majority of patients. These therapies, however, require life-long intraocular injections, typically repeated every four to 12 weeks in frequency, to maintain efficacy. Due to the burden of treatment, patients often experience a decline in vision with reduced frequency of treatment over time. ABBV-RGX-314 is being developed as a potential one-time treatment for wet AMD.
NCT06410612
The purpose of the study is to compare two types of perioperative analgesic modalities, adductor canal block plus interspace between popliteal artery and capsule of the knee (IPACK) block and periarticular injection versus periarticular injection alone, to determine their relative efficacies with regard to pain relief and functional outcomes in the early postoperative period following primary total knee arthroplasty.
NCT05969860
This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.
NCT07538934
This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Kangfu Spray for the prevention of radiation-induced oral mucositis in patients with histologically confirmed oral malignancies receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), with or without concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy. Eligible participants will undergo definitive or postoperative adjuvant IMRT according to multidisciplinary team recommendations. Participants in the experimental group will receive Kangfu Spray prophylactically from the first day of radiotherapy until completion of radiotherapy, in addition to standard oral care. The primary endpoint is the incidence of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis, defined as World Health Organization (WHO) grade 3 or higher. Secondary endpoints include time to onset and duration of severe oral mucositis, incidence and duration of any oral mucositis, oral ulcer and pain scores, radiotherapy interruption, opioid analgesic use, nutritional indicators, quality of life, and safety. Exploratory analyses will evaluate lymphocytes, inflammatory factors, and microbiota in blood and saliva.
NCT07540247
This study aims to compare the effects of neuroathletic training, reactive training, and routine team training in American football players. American football requires not only strength, speed, agility, and balance, but also rapid reaction, decision-making, and appropriate motor responses. Therefore, training approaches targeting the nervous system and reaction skills may contribute to both performance enhancement and injury risk reduction. Active American football players aged 18-30 are randomly assigned to neuroathletic training, reactive training, or control groups. The intervention groups participate in additional exercise sessions twice a week for four weeks, while the control group continues routine team training only. Assessments are performed before and after the intervention period. Outcome measures include Y Balance Test, Functional Movement Screen, Reactive Balance Test, core endurance test, and sit-and-reach test. These assessments are used to examine reaction performance, dynamic balance, postural control, movement quality, core endurance, and flexibility. The findings are expected to help identify the most effective training approach for improving performance and reducing injury risk in American football players.
NCT07538700
Proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) are common osteoporotic fractures in adults and the elderly, leading to significant disability and reduced quality of life. Current treatment options for displaced PHFs include locking plate fixation (LCP) and various augmentation techniques, but there is no consensus on the optimal treatment. Although, femoral allografts have shown promising results, there is a need for more definitive evidence regarding the utilization of femoral graft augmentation in addition to locking plate fixation in 3- and 4-part PHFs. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a mushroom-shaped femoral allograft combined with LCP fixation compared to LCP fixation alone. We hypothesize that femoral allograft augmentation with LCP fixation will result in better clinical and functional outcomes than LCP fixation alone at 24 months post-operative
NCT07432269
The body temperature measured by the skin is easily affected by the measurement environment such as temperature or humidity, and in some cases, the difference from the central body temperature is particularly large. Therefore, there has been an attempt to develop a new method of measuring skin body temperature to predict the central body temperature by measuring body temperature in the skin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the core temperature measured using this medical device by comparing the accuracy of the body temperature measured through the XST600 electronic thermometer applying the HF technology developed by Chois Technology with the body temperature measured by the Gold Standard 3M Bair Hugger Temperature Monitoring System Model 370. - Number of target subjects: 117 in total - Basis for calculation: This clinical trial is an corroborating clinical trial to confirm the clinical accuracy and effectiveness of the test equipment (XST600), so it is set based on the requirements of ISO 80601-2-56 (the "Medical Device Standard" 50. Electronic thermometer). 1. Total number of target subjects: 117 (105 + 10%) \* At least 105 participants are required in accordance with ISO 80601-2-56:2017, and 117 participants are targeted by applying the normal research dropout rate of 10%. \* If the research procedure is completed in 105 participants without dropping out, the study is terminated. ① Normal body temperature subject: 82 (73 participants + 10%): Those with a core temperature of 36.1℃ (10) or more and 38.0℃ or less when measured by RCT. \* If the research procedure is completed in 73 participants without dropping out, the study is terminated. ② Number of subjects with heating: 35 (32 participants + 10%): Subjects with a core temperature of 38.0℃ or higher when measured by RCT \* According to ISO 80601-2-56, the maximum number of subjects with heating is 32, by applying the standard that should not exceed 30%, and the target is 35, by applying the normal research dropout rate of 10%. \* If the research procedure is completed without dropping out of only 32 subjects, the study is terminated.
NCT07430215
In a worldwide, one-day, prospective point-prevalence study, a prevalence of 15.1% for hospital-acquired central line-associated bloodstream infections (HA-CLABSI) was determined in 13,796 patients across 1,265 intensive care units in 75 countries. According to reference data from the National Reference Center for Surveillance of Nosocomial Infections, an average of 1.2 HA-CLABSI episodes per 1,000 central venous catheter days occurred in German intensive care units between 2020 and 2024. Since the mean length of stay for the observed patients was 4 days, this value could be significantly higher for patients with longer stays, such as those undergoing neurological rehabilitation. Besides economic consequences (costs of CLABSI treatment, extended treatment duration), bloodstream infections also have a significant impact on treatment outcomes. Studies show that patients have twice the mortality risk after a bloodstream infection - even after adjusting for disease severity - and that bloodstream infections are associated with longer stays in the intensive care unit and in the hospital. Bloodstream infections occur when pathogenic germs enter the bloodstream. This can happen through entry via wounds (e.g., after trauma), via venous catheters (catheter-associated), or through other infections that spread systemically (e.g., infections in the lungs, abdomen, or urinary tract). To reduce the risk of pathogenic germs entering the bloodstream from venous catheters via the access point, disinfection caps can be used. These caps are pre-treated with 70% isopropanol and packaged sterilely. According to an observational study, the use of such disinfection caps in an oncology clinic significantly reduced the rate of contaminated blood cultures (central venous catheters) from 2.5% (17 of 692) to 0.2% (1 of 470). To reduce the risk of pathogenic germs entering the bloodstream from venous catheters, disinfection caps can be used. As part of quality-improvement measures, the use of disinfectant caps is planned in the neurological intensive care unit. The use of these caps therefore does not constitute a study intervention in the strict sense, but rather the implementation of a new in-house quality standard.
