NCT05686551
This study will evaluate the safety, biomarkers, and efficacy of tominersen compared with placebo in participants with prodromal and early manifest Huntington's Disease (HD).
NCT05382559
This is an open-label study. This means that people in this study and clinic staff will know that people will receive ASP3082. The study aims to check how safe and well-tolerated ASP3082 is for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific mutation called KRAS G12D. This study will be in 2 parts. In Part 1, different small groups of people will receive lower to higher doses of ASP3082 by itself, or together with cetuximab. Any medical problems will be recorded at each dose. This is done to find suitable doses of ASP3082, by itself or together with cetuximab, to use in Part 2 of the study. The first group will receive the lowest dose of ASP3082. A medical expert panel will check the results from this group and decide if the next group can receive a higher dose of ASP3082. The panel will do this for each group until all groups have received ASP3082 (by itself or together with cetuximab) or until suitable doses have been selected for Part 2. In Part 2, ASP3082 will be given in by itself, or in combination with the other study treatments. Study treatments will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion. Each treatment cycle is 21 or 28 days long. They will continue treatment until: they have medical problems from the treatment they can't tolerate; their cancer gets worse; they start other cancer treatment; or they ask to stop treatment.
NCT03295071
This study is a multi-country retrospective and cross-sectional observational study of affected LHON subjects, based on retrospective subjects' medical chart abstractions and cross-sectional administration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
NCT04837040
A randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paltusotine (also known as CRN00808; an orally administered nonpeptide somatostatin agonist) in subjects with acromegaly previously treated with somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) based treatment regimens.
NCT05711758
Gastric myotomy has been performed for several years as a means of addressing chronic stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy and treating gastroparesis. The Pylorus Sparing Antral Myotomy (PSAM) technique has the opposite effect by leaving the pylorus intact and extending the myotomy proximally to the distal gastric body. PSAM was initially combined with ESG and shown to delay gastric emptying and provide greater weight loss without impacting tolerability (GCSI score) or the safety profile of the procedure (2 DDW GEM abstracts). PSAM has not been evaluated alone, without concomitant ESG. Since delayed gastric emptying alone is known to promote weight loss, it is thought that PSAM alone (without ESG) may provide similar efficacy, while reducing procedure time and adverse events. There have been no clinical studies that investigate the efficacy of PSAM independent of ESG. This pilot study aims to address this lack of information by evaluating the safety, tolerability, and short-term efficacy of PSAM, in addition to exploring its impact on gastric physiology. This will also provide data that may be used in designing a larger clinical trial.
NCT06203210
This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of I-DXd with treatment of physician's choice in participants with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
NCT04166318
This phase II trial studies how well lower-dose chemotherapy plus radiation (chemoradiation) therapy works in comparison to standard-dose chemoradiation in treating patients with early-stage anal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. This study may help doctors find out if lower-dose chemoradiation is as effective and has fewer side effects than standard-dose chemoradiation, which is the usual approach for treatment of this cancer type.
NCT06481670
This study is a prospective randomized clinical controlled trial testing the effects of pre-operative \>50 g pre-operative carbohydrate fluids (apple juice) on a patient's post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) incidence and intensity. Optimizing fluid therapy in the peri-operative setting has been proven to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications and length of hospital stay. Based on practice guidelines under the American Society of Anesthesiologists, pre-operative hydration with complex carbohydrate drinks is safe and should be encouraged as it helps with improving metabolism to an anabolic state, decreases insulin resistance, reduces anxiety, and reduces PONV. While pre-operative carbohydrate (CHO) fluids have already been studied and adopted by other surgical specialities (Vascular, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, etc.), this has not yet been studied in oral and maxillofacial surgery, especially at Boston Medical Center (BMC). During surgery, each participant will undergo our current Enhanced Recovery After Surgery "ERAS" protocol, which includes general anesthesia using inhalational gas, judicious IV fluids, intra-operative steroid and ondansetron (anti-emetic), use of 0.5% bupivacaine local anesthesia per quadrant at surgery end time, use of a throat pack, and orogastric/nasogastric (OG/NG) tube suctioning prior to extubation to minimize ingestion of blood. Pain and anxiety medications prior to and during surgery include 2 mg midazolam, fentanyl per anesthesia, toradol, and dexmedetomidine. Having this protocol will help minimize confounding variables that could affect the primary outcome-- incidence and severity of PONV. The objectives for this research are: * To evaluate if pre-operative clear CHO help reduce incidence and intensity of PONV. * To assess if pre-operative clear carbohydrate fluids affect length of hospital stay * To determine if pre-operative CHO reduce patient's pre-/post-operative anxiety * To compare the amount/number of opioids and anti-emetics needed post-operatively between the two groups * To compare ability for patients to return to PO hydration via the amount of fluid ingestion (mL) vs. if they need IV fluids due to decreased PO intake/inability to tolerate PO fluids * To evaluate if patient Apfel score is also a strong indicator for incidence/severity of PONV
NCT02734537
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
NCT02817061
Aim: Investigate whether transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) using near-infrared light exposure to the head, can improve frontal lobe executive function, working memory and overall mood in normal volunteer participants. Hypothesis: The investigators predict that tPBM will increase cognitive functioning, as measured by Cambridge Cognition cognitive testing in study subjects.
NCT00448448
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural curve of the spine with no clear underlying cause. Bracing is currently the standard of care for preventing curve progression and treating AIS. However, the effectiveness of bracing remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to compare the risk of curve progression in adolescents with AIS who wear a brace versus those who do not and to determine whether there are reliable factors that can predict the usefulness of bracing for a particular individual with AIS.
NCT06529419
A dose range-finding study to assess the efficacy and safety of multiple dose levels of AZD8630 administered via a dry powder inhaler in adults with uncontrolled asthma at risk of exacerbations, receiving medium -to -high dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA).
NCT04238819
The study's purpose is to see if the drug, abemaciclib, is safe and effective when given with other drugs to kill cancer cells. The study is open to children and young adults with solid tumors, including neuroblastoma, that did not respond or grew during other anti-cancer treatment. For each participant, the study is estimated to last up to 2 years.
NCT04239573
The purpose of this study is to compare the two approaches for monitoring pancreatic cysts. The study doctors want to compare more frequent monitoring vs less frequent monitoring in order to learn which monitoring method leads to better outcome for patients with pancreatic cysts.
NCT06572384
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a lung condition resulting in inflammation and stiffening of the lung, often associated with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). ILD causes reduction in lung volume, shortness of breath, cough and fatigue therefore has high impact on quality of life and is also the leading cause of death in participants with these conditions. The study will assess whether treatment of CTD-ILD participants with belimumab in addition to standard therapy will result in the stabilization and/or improvement of lung function and improve symptoms associated with ILD with an acceptable safety profile.
