NCT03438747
The aim of this trial is to evaluate if P-15L bone graft (investigational device) is not inferior in effectiveness and safety to local autologous bone (and allograft where necessary) as an extender (control device) when applied in instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in subjects with degenerative disc disease (DDD). In addition to the general overall objective, a sub-group analysis will be performed on the high-risk subject population (tobacco use, obesity, diabetes), as previous studies have shown negative effects of smoking, obesity and diabetes on fusion and bone healing, increased peri/postoperative complications, and lower patient-reported outcome scores.
NCT05558059
Retinopathy of prematurity is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide. The fovea, a critical location in the retina determining visual acuity and visual function, and the blood vessels around it, are abnormally developed in infants with retinopathy of prematurity. However, how these blood vessels form during development of the human fovea remains unclear. This research will advance our understanding of the fundamental knowledge of how the blood vessels around the fovea form in infants, and how they change in diseased states such as preterm birth or retinopathy of prematurity.
NCT03721822
The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of lung inflammation between different groups of participants using a radioactive tracer called \[18F\]NOS. A radioactive tracer is a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body.
NCT05296265
After amputation of an arm or leg, up to 90% of subjects experience a "phantom limb", a phenomenon characterized by persistent feelings of the missing limb. Many subjects with a phantom limb experience intense pain in the missing extremity that is often poorly responsive to medications or other interventions. The proposed work will contrast the efficacy of two virtual reality treatments for phantom limb pain: a 'Distractor' and an Active VR treatment. In the Distractor treatment, participants are engaged in a visually immersive virtual reality experience that does not require leg movements (REAL i-Series® immersive VR experience). In the Active VR treatment, subjects play a series of VR games using the virtual rendering of both legs.
NCT05095116
This expanded access program is an open-label, single-arm design where consenting patients may participate up until APT-1011 is commercially available in the relevant regions or the protocol is terminated by the Sponsor.
NCT06870617
The use of a geriatric assessment to inform oncologic care for older persons with cancer is an evidence-based practice that improves patient-clinician communication, reduces treatment-related toxicity, and is recommended by national guidelines. However, the implementation of a geriatric assessment can be time-consuming and burdensome, leading to suboptimal use in clinical practice. Developed and endorsed by the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) is designed to improve clinical usability and adoption, but its implementation in real-world settings has not been evaluated. The PACE-70 study aims to evaluate PGA implementation and resultant chemotherapy dose modification among older adults with advanced cancer treated in a community setting. An exploratory aim will evaluate how the PGA, body composition (via abdominal computed tomography scan) and step count monitoring (via FitBit) correlate with chemotherapy toxicity and other clinical outcomes.
NCT03244020
Aspirin and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are both commonly employed pharmacologic methods of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after orthopaedic surgery. Data comparing these two methods of VTE prophylaxis in patients undergoing pelvic/lower extremity orthopaedic surgery for malignancy are lacking, however, as compared to the data and guidelines present for VTE chemoprophylaxis after joint arthroplasty and hip fracture surgery. In this clinical trial, our specific aim is to compare the post operative incidence of VTE between patients receiving aspirin and LMWH after pelvic/lower extremity orthopaedic oncology procedures.
NCT03914794
This phase II trial studies how well Pemigatinib (an orally administered inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1, 2, and 3) works in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with recurrent tumors and a prior history of low- or intermediate-risk NMIBC tumors. Participants will receive pemigatinib for 4-6 weeks prior to standard of care transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
NCT05367960
This is a 4-year, open-label extension (OLE) study for subjects completing one of two double-blind clinical trials with BPN14770, Study BPN14770-CNS-301 (in adult males) and Study BPN14770-CNS-204 (in adolescent males).
NCT05284747
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of early treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting to reduce myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization, and all-cause death in subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction (non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction \[NSTEMI\] and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction \[STEMI\]).
NCT01203839
Currently the standard of care is to treat early stage invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with a combination of lumpectomy and radiotherapy, known as "breast-conserving therapy" (BCT). The traditional method of giving radiation therapy after a lumpectomy is to the whole breast. However the investigators do not know if the whole breast needs to be receive radiation to better control your cancer or only a more limited area of the breast surrounding the tumor. The purpose of this study is to see the side effects of delivering partial breast irradiation (PBI) instead of whole breast irradiation (WBI). PBI is radiation therapy given only to the area of the breast where the cancer was removed. Another purpose of this study is to look long term at the rate at which cancer comes back in the same breast after PBI. WBI is radiation therapy given 5 days a week for 5 to 7 weeks to the whole breast. Partial breast irradiation radiation therapy (PBI) is much shorter than whole breast irradiation. The investigators propose to deliver the PBI radiation therapy, for a few minutes a day, once a day, five days a week, for 2 weeks. In this study the investigators will learn about the good and bad effects of PBI radiation therapy. In this study, the investigators will also learn about how the breast looks after surgery and radiation therapy.
NCT03742037
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 4 doses of cenerimod versus placebo in adult subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
NCT00597012
There are two cartilage structures, called menisci, in each knee joint. A torn meniscus can be caused by a traumatic injury or aging-related degeneration. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of arthritis that is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of another type of cartilage that covers the end of bones within a joint. In people who have knee OA, a meniscal tear can easily lead to disability. This study will compare the effectiveness of two recommended treatments, surgery and physical therapy, for people with a torn meniscus and knee OA.
NCT06534060
This is a single arm, two-stage, Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study of MB-105 in patients with CD5 Positive (CD5+) Relapsed / Refractory T-cell Lymphoma (r/r TCL). This study will apply a Simon two-stage optimal design.
NCT04631029
This phase I trial seeks to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide for the treatment of previously untreated aggressive lung cancer that has spread (extensive-stage small cell lung cancer). Entinostat and etoposide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy drug that attaches to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Giving entinostat in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide may work better than atezolizumab, carboplatin and etoposide alone.
NCT06730100
This phase II trial studies how well CBX-12 works in treating patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is no longer responding to chemotherapy treatment (chemotherapy-refractory). The usual approach to treating colorectal cancer includes treatment with surgery, radiation, or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs such as trifluridine-tipiracil, bevacizumab, regorafenib, or fruquintinib. However, most metastatic colorectal patients progress through all approved treatments and eventually succumb to their disease. CBX-12 is a drug that contains a peptide (a substance that contains many amino acids \[molecules that join together to form proteins\]) called pHLIP, linked to an anticancer substance called exatecan. Upon administration, pHLIP gets inserted into the cellular membrane of tumor cells, delivering exatecan to kill them. Giving CBX-12 may work better than the usual approach in treating patients with metastatic chemotherapy-refractory microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.
NCT02072772
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Positively Smoke Free group therapy is more effective at promoting cessation than standard care.
NCT04519645
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of lacosamide (LCM) versus an Active Comparator chosen based on standard of care (StOC) in severe and nonsevere seizure burden (defined as total minutes of electroencephalographic neonatal seizures (ENS) per hour) in neonates with seizures that are not adequately controlled with previous anti-epileptic drug (AED) treatment.
NCT04243447
The overarching goal of the study is to improve the surgical treatment outcomes of FAI, which is affecting an increasing number of military personnel and young active individuals in the general population. The proposed study will investigate critical patient, disease, and surgical treatment predictors of FAI surgery outcomes.
NCT04447755
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity and safety of lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) in children, adolescents, and young adults with relapsed or refractory solid malignancies after administration. Participants were enrolled into Ewing sarcoma (EWS), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), high-grade glioma (HGG), diffuse midline glioma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and Other Solid Tumors Excluding Osteosarcoma, diffuse midline glioma, medulloblastoma, and ependymoma cohorts.
