NCT04851119
This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.
NCT05316584
The investigators hypothesize that use of a remote monitoring digital health system that supports medication taking and monitoring of symptoms will improve adherence, clinical outcomes, and decrease healthcare utilization compared to standard care in participants with inflammatory bowel disease initiating oral or subcutaneous treatment. The investigators are conducting a 12-month, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote monitoring digital health system on adherence, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization. The investigators will address the following specific aims: 1. Compare adherence as measured by the medication possession ratio in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care. 2. Compare clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care.
NCT06005493
This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with AZD5863, a T cell-engaging bispecific antibody that targets Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and CD3, is safe, tolerable and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
NCT06784479
This study helps patients find the optimal sedation regimen in drug-induced sleep endoscopy
NCT07167888
The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of neck and low back pain in nursing students enrolled at the University of the West Indies, Mona; to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice of good spine health and to determine the outcome of a standardised spine exercise program on nursing students experiencing neck and low back pain, using a prospective randomised control design.
NCT07428772
This randomized controlled study will evaluate the effectiveness of an online Watch-Summarize-Question-Ask (WSQA) learning method on nursing students' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors related to patient fall prevention and management. Sixty-six nursing students will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Both groups will receive standard patient safety education, while the intervention group will additionally participate in an online, evidence-based fall prevention training program structured according to the WSQA method, including video-based learning, summarization, question generation, and interactive discussions. Outcomes will be assessed using validated instruments measuring fall management knowledge, self-efficacy, attitudes toward fall prevention, care planning performance, and student satisfaction. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of an innovative educational approach to improve fall prevention competencies and enhance the quality and safety of nursing care.
NCT01822392
The research evaluates the use of online versions of delivering an effective psychological treatment for children clinically referred for serious oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behavior. The goal is to develop models of delivery that reach families in need that are not being served by in-person treatment. The project has immediate implications for the treatment of children but more generally addresses several issues critical to treatments that are based on Internet, telepsychiatry, and related technologies.
NCT06414070
This study aims to work with women's economic empowerment groups within the community to address reproductive coercion and intimate partner violence and promote economic self-sufficiency among women (aged 15+ years). Based on the investigators' previous research in the United States, Bangladesh, and Kenya, the ARCHES (Addressing Reproductive Coercion in Health Settings) intervention is a highly effective clinic-based model to improve women's ability to use family planning and cope with abuse. Due to common requests for community-based support, content from the ARCHES intervention along with Girls Invest, an economic empowerment intervention implemented in the US and Nigeria, is being adapted to develop Jenga Dada, which means "Build a Woman Up" in Kiswahili, to be delivered to women's economic empowerment groups. The study will conduct formative research among women's economic empowerment group members, develop the Jenga Dada intervention, and conduct a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial to assess preliminary efficacy of the intervention on proximal outcomes (i.e., self-efficacy) and feasibility and acceptability.
NCT07424482
Patients who are diagnosed with a heart attack are often confronted with an unexpected hospital admission and an urgent heart catheterization. In this stressful situation, anxiety is common and understanding of the procedure may be limited, even after standard verbal and written explanations. This study investigates whether a short educational video, shown in addition to standard medical information, can help patients better understand the heart catheterization procedure and reduce anxiety before the intervention. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard information alone or standard information plus the educational video. The study will assess patients' understanding of the procedure, their level of anxiety, and their satisfaction with the information provided. The results may help improve patient education and support in acute cardiac care settings.
NCT07425535
Persons who do not have glaucoma will have pictures taken of the optic nerve with a standard camera before and 2 weeks after starting to take a daily glaucoma eye drop to lower eye pressure. These data will be used to compare to the same procedure performed with glaucoma patients to study how glaucoma injures the eye.
NCT07425743
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if modified non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) with a sub-flap mattress suture works to treat open-angle glaucoma (OAG). It will also learn about the safety and effectiveness of this modified surgical approach. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the modified NPDS technique result in significantly lower and more persistent intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction compared to the conventional technique? What is the rate of complete success (IOP 6-18 mmHg without medication) and qualified success (IOP 6-18 mmHg with medication) for both groups? What postoperative complications or medical problems (such as iris prolapse, conjunctival leaks, or IOP spikes) do participants experience? Researchers will compare Modified Deep Sclerectomy with Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture to standard conventional NPDS to see which technique provides better long-term pressure control. Participants will be randomized into two groups and will: Undergo either the standard NPDS procedure or the modified NPDS procedure using a 10/0 nylon mattress suture. Visit the clinic for at least five scheduled follow-up appointments at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months post-surgery. Undergo comprehensive eye examinations at each visit, including Goldmann applanation tonometry for IOP, visual acuity testing, and monitoring for the development of cataracts or other surgical complications.
NCT07426679
Neuraxial blockade is commonly performed using a manual palpation technique, but the procedure can be challenging, particularly in patients with high body mass index, pregnancy, or spinal deformities. Preprocedural ultrasound may improve identification of the optimal injection site, yet its use in clinical practice remains limited, partly due to a lack of structured training. This multicentre randomised controlled trial investigates whether anaesthesiologists performing ultrasound-assisted spinal anaesthesia achieve better clinical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction compared with the traditional manual palpation technique. Both novice anaesthesia residents and more experienced anaesthesiologists are included. Participants receive structured simulation-based training using either ultrasound-assisted or manual palpation techniques, following a mastery learning approach with predefined performance standards. After certification, participants perform spinal anaesthesia during elective lower limb surgery, with clinical performance assessed by senior anaesthesiologists. The primary outcome is first-attempt success of spinal block. Secondary outcomes include number of attempts, needle redirections, time spent, need for assistance, and overall block success. Patient satisfaction and complications are assessed as tertiary outcomes. This study aims to provide evidence on the clinical effects of structured training in ultrasound-assisted neuraxial access and to explore the role of prior clinical experience.
NCT07427381
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of podcast-based education on nursing students' competency in preoperative patient care and their knowledge of evidence-based nursing practices. Preoperative care is a critical component of perioperative nursing and plays a key role in patient safety and surgical outcomes. Improving students' competency in this area is essential for maintaining quality care. In this quasi-experimental controlled study, undergraduate nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard classroom education or an intervention group receiving standard education supplemented with structured podcast materials focusing on preoperative patient preparation and assessment. Outcomes will be measured using validated competency and knowledge assessment tools administered before and four weeks after the educational intervention. The study is designed as a minimal-risk educational intervention and seeks to determine whether podcast-based learning can enhance competency and evidence-based knowledge in nursing education.
NCT02743507
Bundled payment is a new payment reform that encourages health care providers to improve quality and contain costs of care. These arrangements are being rapidly expanded across the country, but evidence about their impact are lacking. This study will use Medicare claims data to evaluate the effect of participation in a large Medicare bundled payment program on the quality and costs of care for common medical and surgical conditions.
NCT04728022
The objective of the BRAINYAC program is to prepare high school students for, and deliver, the experience of working in a neuroscience research laboratory over a summer. Our program goals are to prepare local students from Upper Manhattan and the South Bronx with the skills necessary to enter a working research laboratory over a period of 8 months, and support them in learning key laboratory skills and communicating them to an audience.Our hypothesis is that students' self-reports of scientific effectiveness and science identity will improve over the course of the 8-month long program. Self-reported efficacy measures predict academic performance in science, so an improvement in these self-report measures may indicate a higher likelihood to succeed in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies or careers. Likewise, science identity has a positive impact on a student's likelihood of entering a science career, particularly in populations that are under-represented in science.Over a 4-year period we will track students' self-reports of (1) scientific efficacy, including their level of confidence in scientific writing, oral presentation, library and literature search, conducting research and general academic skills, and (2) science identity. We will adopt a mixed-methods approach combining survey data with focus groups and interviews to present a full picture of these changes. We also propose to track students after they leave the program, to measure whether the changes in scientific self-efficacy translate into STEM studies at the level of higher education or career choices. We will also obtain data from scientific mentors in the program to inform us whether we are adequately supporting them in providing the students with training.
NCT07274631
Chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis (CF), primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are characterised by lung inflammation and remodelling. Clinical, functional, microbiological, biological, pathological and prognostic features are highly variable and heterogeneous. Several phenotypes have been described within the same pathology, as similar phenotypic traits between different pathologies, or the coexistence of components of several diagnoses in the same patient, suggesting shared underlying mechanisms that could represent new therapeutic targets, beyond the initial medical diagnosis. The objectives of this prospective study are to analyze the phenotypic characteristics (clinical, demographic, biological, morphological, pathological, and microbiological characteristics) together with respiratory exposures and underlying mechanisms involving airway epithelium and inflammation processes in a cohort of patients diagnosed with asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, CF, PCD and ILD.
NCT07422818
This is a single-center, prospective interventional study evaluating noninvasive coronary function testing using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography of the left anterior descending coronary artery in patients with stable angina and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) who previously underwent invasive coronary function testing (adenosine and/or acetylcholine). A group of age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers will be enrolled to support interpretation of potentially abnormal noninvasive responses observed in patients.
NCT07423026
Every year, 100 boys are born in the UK with a rare muscle disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These boys cannot make an important muscle protein called dystrophin. They become weaker as they get older and lose the ability to walk as teenagers. This is a life-limiting condition. There is no cure, but medicines are being made that could help these boys make dystrophin. These medicines are most likely to work best in toddlers, before their muscles become damaged. There is no way of testing these medicines in children under four. In older children, it is possible to measure how well and how quickly a child can do movements like sitting up, standing up, and running. Unfortunately, these tests are not suitable for toddlers as they often struggle to listen and do what they are asked to do. Tiredness and mood can also affect their scores. Luckily, there is a new way of testing how well children move. They can wear special watch-like devices on their ankles that record information about their steps as they go about their normal lives. This is a good way of testing how well a child walks. It is now used to test medicines in children over four years old. Our aim is to test whether this device works well in children under four. This study will invite 30 boys with DMD (and their parent/caregiver) and 30 boys without DMD aged 1-3 years old from across the country to join the study. There are no hospital visits. Children will receive the watch-like devices to wear for three blocks of 28-days over six months during their normal daily activities. At the start and end of the study, a physiotherapist will visit the homes of boys with DMD. They will check their movements using other tests. The investigators will find out 1) if young boys are happy to wear the device, 2) how it compares to other tests, and 3) if it can detect changes in walking ability. This study could give us a way to test medicines in younger children. Wearable devices could cut down the travel and stress of tests for boys and their families. Children with learning or behavioural difficulties, and children living far from research centres could now also take part in studies of new medicines. This study could bring us a step closer to treating this life-limiting disease.
NCT07387601
The study might come up with valuable findings to address poor treatment outcome, poor quality of life, disability score and depressive symptoms. The findings may also be decreased health professional workload. The findings would be supportive evidences for policy makers, program managers, to clinician as well as the patients themselves and for other researchers. The study may help to promote and maintain good treatment outcome for the patients in the study area as well as the country. The findings will also be used for teaching \& learning purposes in educational \& training programs.
