NCT06921603
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. This can cause problems such as difficulty breathing, swelling, and extreme tiredness. In severe cases, these symptoms worsen to the point where hospitalization is required. Unfortunately, many patients with severe heart failure are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days after discharge, which is both physically and emotionally challenging for patients and places a significant financial burden on individuals and the healthcare system. Although symptoms such as difficulty breathing and swelling may improve during the hospital stay, some patients are discharged with excess fluid remaining in their bodies. This retained fluid often causes symptoms to worsen, leading to subsequent hospital readmissions. Inadequate management of fluid levels can also harm the kidneys, further complicating the patient's condition. This study aims to improve care for heart failure patients by utilizing a simple, non-invasive tool to assess fluid levels more accurately at the bedside. The tool measures the size of a large blood vessel in the neck, providing key information about the pressure inside the heart. This information enables clinicians to determine the appropriate amount of medication needed to remove just the right amount of fluid. Properly managing fluid levels can help prevent kidney damage and improve overall patient outcomes. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate whether this tool can reduce the number of patients readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. A secondary goal is to determine whether the tool can help protect kidney function by allowing for better fluid management. If successful, this approach has the potential to help heart failure patients stay healthier, reduce hospital visits, and lower healthcare costs.
NCT04885244
Evaluate surgical treatment outcomes and identify best practice guidelines for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients treated with minimally invasive approach, including radiographic and clinical outcomes, surgical and postoperative complications, risk factors for and revision surgery rates, and the role of standard work to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgical and postoperative complications.
NCT05882734
This is an Open-label, multicenter clinical study conducted in two Phases to establish the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3-related protein kinase (ATR) inhibitor Tuvusertib in Combination with Cemiplimab in Participants with Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (nsqNSCLC) that has Progressed on Prior Anti-PD-(L)1 and Platinum-based Therapies..
NCT05345171
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of DTX301 on the improvement of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) function by maintaining safe plasma ammonia levels.
NCT02927912
This phase II trial studies the side effects of intraoperative electron beam radiotherapy boost and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I-II breast cancer undergoing surgery with reconstruction. Giving a single dose of electron beam radiation to the tumor cavity during the breast surgery before reconstruction may be a better way to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
NCT06026332
Multi-center, prospective non-interventional study to collect data on the early use of Adstiladrin in the US and Israel. Data will be collected from patients and prescribing physicians in a real-world setting
NCT05521698
This phase I trial evaluates the effects of apalutamide, compared to placebo, on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein expression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Apalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Previous studies have suggested that expression of a protein called EGFR on tumor cells is related to bladder cancer disease progression. This trial may help doctors evaluate if apalutamide has any effect on EGFR expression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
NCT06504446
This is a phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Taplucainium Inhalation Powder (NOC-110) once daily in adults with refractory or unexplained chronic cough.
NCT06514742
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well aticaprant works as compared with placebo when given along with an antidepressant therapy in improving the depressive symptoms in adult participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) with moderate to severe anhedonia (ANH+) who have not responded well to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSRI or SNRI).
NCT04888104
Prospective, Multicenter, Case-Control Analysis of the VersaTie Posterior Fixation System to Prevent Proximal Junctional Failure in Long Posterior Spinal Fusion Constructs for Adult Patients
NCT07123103
The primary purpose of the study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of XB371. The dose-escalation cohorts and Part B of the expansion cohorts are non-randomized. Part A of the expansion cohorts is randomized.
NCT04489719
This study investigates how well radium-223 works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer than has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death. Furthermore, many men with notably advanced disease have been found to have abnormalities in DNA repair. The purpose of this research is to study the role of a DNA repair pathway in prostate cancer, specifically in response to administration of radium-223, an FDA-approved drug known to cause DNA damage to cancerous cells. Understanding how defects in the DNA repair pathway affects radium-223 treatment of prostate, may help doctors help plan effective treatment in future patients.
NCT06797362
The Expanded Access Program will provide an alternate mechanism for these patients, who lack satisfactory therapeutic alternatives and cannot participate in a zidesamtinib clinical trial, to access investigational zidesamtinib.
NCT06004245
This is a first-in-human, Phase I, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of VVD-133214 monotherapy, and in combination with pembrolizumab, in participants with microsatellite instability (MSI) and/or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) advanced solid tumors. VVD-133214 is an oral drug that acts on a protein called Werner (WRN), which may promote the growth of cancers that are MSI and/or dMMR. By acting on WRN, VVD-133214 may be able to block the growth of these types of cancer.
NCT03489629
To evaluate the micro-biologic efficacy and safety of a streamlined treatment for early onset methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis.
NCT04928677
The purpose of this study to find out whether codrituzumab is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in children and young adults who have solid tumors that express the protein GPC3. The researchers also want to study the way codrituzumab is absorbed, distributed, and cleared from the body.
NCT05631223
