NCT06865417
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of filgotinib as a treatment for UC in children and adolescents aged from 8 to less than 18 years. Approximately 80 subjects from 8 to \<18 years of age with moderately to severely active UC, including a minimum of 8 subjects from 8 to \<12 years of age, will be enrolled in this study. During the study, eligible subjects will take the investigational product (IP) on-site at Week 4, Week 10, and Week 22 (in the morning; with or without food). On all other days, subjects will take IP at home (in the morning; with or without food). Subjects who do not achieve mMCS remission and/or MCS response at Week 10 will continue with induction treatment until Week 22. Subjects who do not achieve PUCAI remission at Week 22 will be permanently discontinued from the study. Subjects will all receive a filgotinib dose targeting the same systemic exposure as that observed in adults with UC treated with 200 mg q.d.
NCT07391085
This study evaluated whether an augmented reality (AR)-based training system improves preparation for simulated vaginal birth compared with traditional text- and video-based learning. Vaginal birth is a complex clinical skill that requires integration of technical actions, situational awareness, and professional behaviors, and opportunities for hands-on training may be limited during undergraduate education. Undergraduate medical students and midwifery students from two universities in Chile and Colombia were randomly assigned to either conventional preparation (text and instructional video) or the same preparation supplemented with an AR training module. The AR system allowed students to explore a simulated vaginal birth scenario in a self-directed manner before participating in hands-on simulation. All students then completed a standardized simulated vaginal birth using a high-fidelity simulator as part of their regular curriculum. Performance during the first simulation was assessed by blinded evaluators using a validated Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) checklist. The primary outcome was achievement of a predefined minimum competency threshold, with secondary outcomes including overall performance scores, completion of critical tasks, and learner satisfaction. The goal of this study was to determine whether AR-based pre-simulation training enhances early performance in simulated vaginal birth and could serve as a scalable educational tool to support competency-based training in obstetrics.
NCT07272161

NCT07390890
This is a prospective, single arm, open label study conducted at a single site to evaluate the efficacy of Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) in reducing medication burden in patients with medically controlled ocular hypertension or primary open angle glaucoma. The study will assess the primary endpoint of reduction in medication count at 6 months compared to baseline. Secondary endpoints include IOP reduction compared to baseline (both percentage and absolute), complete success rate (no increase in IOP without medications), proportion of eyes needing medication at 6 months, and any secondary surgical interventions at 6 months post-DSLT. Participants will undergo DSLT with 120 shots, 400 µm spot size, and 1.8mJ fixed energy delivered at the limbus over 2.4 seconds. Follow-up visits will occur at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure, with IOP measured using a calibrated Goldmann tonometer.
NCT07377188
Inflammatory Bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, are chronic diseases. Diagnosis is most often done in women of childbearing age. IBD can have and increase the risk of intrauterine growth retardation, preterm birth… Conversely, pregnancy can have an impact on IBD activity during pregnancy. Moreover, IBD course can be influence in post-partum. The investigators will explore IBD course on 945 patients from the EPIMAD register. The investigators will cross the data on the IBD with data on pregnancy, postpartum but also breastfeeding. The principal aim of this study is to assess the number of flares during pregnancy.
NCT05606406
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how variations in oxygen demands may change heart electrical activity in individuals with and without oxygen dependence.
NCT05998018
This prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the pdSTIM System to facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation through phrenic nerve stimulation. Potential subjects who are on mechanical ventilation for at least four days and have failed at least one weaning attempt will be considered for the study. Those enrolled will be randomized in a 1:1 manner between the treatment group that is standard of care with the pdSTIM System and a Control group, which is standard of care alone.
NCT07389850
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common knee injury among athletes who play contact sports involving pivoting. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) combined with rehabilitation is the standard treatment for ACL tears in athletes, and rehabilitation is one of the keys to success. The overall return to sport rate is 80%, but the return to pre-injury level of sport is only 65% and the return to the same level of competition is only 55%. The recurrence rate is close to 20%. During rehabilitation and sports practice, proprioceptive information is essential for adjusting the muscle sensorimotor loop and enabling optimal movement. Athletes can thus be classified as plastic or rigid . Our hypothesis is to show that the proportion of "plastic" patients 9 months post-operative following ACL reconstruction is higher than that found in the same population 3 months post-operative, thus demonstrating the progression of proprioceptive integration abilities after ACL reconstruction surgery.
NCT07287826
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone) can prevent mouth sores caused by chemotherapy in adults with cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does using dexamethasone mouthwash before and during chemotherapy lower the chance of getting moderate to severe mouth sores? Can this approach reduce pain and improve comfort during chemotherapy? Researchers will compare patients using the mouthwash to a historical group of patients who received similar chemotherapy but did not use the mouthwash, to see if the mouthwash helps prevent mouth sores. Participants will: Use a steroid mouthwash (4 times daily) for up to 8 weeks during chemotherapy Complete a short weekly survey about mouth discomfort during infusion visits
NCT06603883
Considering that intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in intestinal function, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may provide a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of intestinal nutrition intolerance in critically ill ICU patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of FMT on the recovery of gastrointestinal dysfunction-induced enteral nutrition intolerance in critically ill patients admitted to ICU, and observe the effects on gastrointestinal barrier function, as well as the effects on length of stay in ICU, ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, and 28-day mortality.

NCT07390305
Primary Objective: This study primarily aims to compare skin aging characteristics between women at different stages of reproductive aging in both sun-exposed and non-exposed areas, based on skin indicators collected during a single laboratory visit. Furthermore, through a 30-day at-home tracking period (for the late-stage and postmenopausal groups) or one menstrual cycle (for the early-stage and young group), we seek to analyze the temporal dynamics of changes in skin condition, mood, sleep quality, and menopausal hot flashes. Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to examine differences in skin conditions across life stages by recruiting mother-daughter pairs (where the young group consists of the biological daughters of the late-stage and postmenopausal groups). The core focus is to leverage shared genetic backgrounds to explore how skin characteristics, particularly in different body areas, may change over time or in response to hormonal fluctuations. By comparing these characteristics across age groups, this study seeks to identify key variation patterns and their contributing factors, thereby laying the groundwork for further mechanistic investigations and practical applications.
NCT05215171
Particulate matter (PM) associated cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction (CaRVD) poses a significant global health burden. The World Trade Center (WTC) destruction on September 11, 2001 led to an intense deposition of particulate matter (WTC-PM) into aerodigestive system. WTC associated morbidities include respiratory, gastrointestinal, chronic rhinosinusitis, cancer, mental health concerns and more recently a focus has been on cardiovascular disease. This proposal will investigate the development of WTC-cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction (WTC-CaRVD) which is firmly within the purview of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. WTC-PM exposure causes heterogeneous obstructive airways disease (OAD) patterns, which include airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and loss of FEV1. Early diagnosis and therapeutic options are few, in part due to limited understanding of their pathogenesis. While pulmonary vascular changes are classically thought to occur due to the hypoxemia of late OAD, recent investigations show that vascular dysfunction occurs early in OAD. This vascular hypothesis of OAD postulates that pulmonary vasculature remodeling leads to loss of lung function. Early evidence of WTC-CaRVD includes increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors such as metabolic syndrome, elevated pulmonary artery/aorta ratio, and cardiovascular biomarkers (such as CRP). Murine models of WTC-PM exposure show inflammation, AHR both acutely and persistently and reflect what is seen in FDNY 1st responders. Airway and cardiac remodeling were also persistent features of WTC-PM exposure in the study team's murine models. Therefore, the study team will focus on Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a mediator of oxidative stress, known to stimulate collagen formation and is also induced after WTC-PM exposure. Furthermore, pathways and mechanisms of WTC-CaRVD warrant further study and are the focus of the 5-year proposal. The HYPOTHESIS is that WTC-PM exposure causes WTC-CaRVD mediated by HO-1. First responders with AHR will have features of WTC-CaRVD, and will demonstrate a unique biomarker profile compared to controls.
NCT04225585
The purpose of this study is to compare the benefits of skills training and health education interventions designed specifically to increase the well-being of people with persistent pain after breast surgery for lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), or invasive breast cancer, and to examine the roles of psychological and physiological variables as modifiable contributors to the continuing burden of persistent pain.
NCT07195253
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterised by repetitive collapse of the upper airway during sleep, inducing breathing disturbances that can result in oxygen desaturation and frequent arousals. In children, OSA can have long-term consequences on the development and on the cardiovascular system. Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder associated with intellectual disability and many comorbidities. The prevalence of OSA is particularly high in patients with DS, from infancy. In a recent study by Fauroux et al. (2024), OSA was diagnosed in 97% infants and early diagnosis and intervention from the age of 6 months was associated with better neurocognitive outcome at 3 years old. However, polysomnography (PSG - the gold standard method for diagnosing OSA) is poorly accessible, highlighting the need to develop new strategies to prevent and to screen OSA early in infancy. OSA can be linked to some orofacial abnormalities presented by patients with DS. Indeed, orofacial functions and structures ca play a crucial role in OSA. For example, nose breathing allows the tongue to act as a stimulator of the transverse maxillary growth during childhood, allowing the upper airway to develop properly. The primary objective of the present study is to explore the relationships between oro-myo-facial functions, more specifically non-nutritive sucking, and the severity of OSA in 6 months old infants with DS. The main hypothesis is that OSA severity (estimated by the obstructive apnea hypopnea index on PSG) will be negatively correlated to non-nutritive sucking performance. Data from this study could help developing easily accessible protocols for OSA screening based on simple sucking recording. Some interventions could also be tested to prevent OSA from the beginning of life, like an innovative pacifier recently developed by a French start-up to stimulate nose breathing and to promote correct positioning of the tongue.
