NCT07585006
This phase I trial compares electronic cigarette (EC) user preferences and smoking behaviors of nicotine analogs to nicotine to improve the understanding of nicotine analog addictiveness. Over the last ten years, EC use has become a major concern due to its increased use among adolescents and young adults. Though progress has been made in regulating nicotine containing products, some companies have shifted toward producing products containing nicotine analogs. ECs are battery-powered electronic devices designed to atomize a nicotine (the poisonous chemical found in tobacco)-containing liquid solution for inhalation in a manner that simulates smoking a tobacco cigarette. When nicotine enters the body, it causes an increased heart rate and use of oxygen by the heart, and a sense of well-being and relaxation. Nicotine analogs are compounds that are similar to nicotine in their chemical structure. Some nicotine analogs have been shown to have nicotine-like effects; however, more research is needed to prove they function similarly to nicotine and/or have similar effects. Comparing EC user preferences and smoking behaviors of nicotine analogs to nicotine may help improve the understanding of nicotine analog addictiveness. Additionally, combustible cigarette smoking is well-known to have deleterious effects on cardiovascular health. High blood pressure is one of the major health consequences of cigarette smoking and can increase the risk of hypertension, heart attack, and stroke. Although ECs have been marketed as a less harmful alternative to cigarette smoking, clinical trials have shown that vaping ECs can also lead to acute increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Nicotine can alter vascular reactivity by promoting the release of vasoconstrictors and suppressing the production of vasodilators. No research has examined how the synthetic nicotine in ECs affects hemodynamics, vascular health, and endothelial function. Assessing acute cardiovascular responses to nicotine analogs is therefore critical to enhancing our understanding of the potential cardiovascular risks associated with vaping ECs containing synthetic nicotine.
NCT07137455
Background: Heart surgeons use electrocardiogram (ECG) machines to record electrical signals from the heart during procedures. Normal ECG machines connect only to the skin. Special ECG machines connect directly to the heart; they are a safer option during procedures. Researchers want to test a new ECG machine called the EDEN system. Objective: To test the EDEN system in people having heart procedures. The new system will be used along with an approved special ECG machine. Eligibility: People aged 21 years or older who need to have a heart procedure. These procedures can include (1) electrophysiology mapping or ablation; and (2) conduction system pacing. Design: Researchers will review participants' medical records. No extra tests are needed. Participants will have their heart procedure as planned. The EDEN system will be linked to the special ECG used during the procedure. An extra electrode may be placed on the participant's body. Electrodes are small stickers attached to wires that go to the machine. The EDEN system will record and analyze electrical signals already being measured. It will not interfere with participants' care. No medical decisions well be made based on its data. No follow-up visits are needed for this study....
NCT07671547
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Naderin works to prevent low white blood cell counts in people with breast cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does taking Naderin lower the number of people who get low white blood cell counts during chemotherapy? 2. Does taking Naderin help people finish all of their chemotherapy treatments without interruptions? Researchers will compare people who receive chemotherapy with Naderin to people who receive chemotherapy alone to see if Naderin helps prevent low white blood cell counts. Participants will: Receive standard AC chemotherapy for breast cancer Either receive Naderin along with chemotherapy or receive chemotherapy alone Have regular blood tests to check white blood cell counts Complete all 4 chemotherapy cycles Key finding: The study found that 14 out of 100 people who received Naderin developed low white blood cell counts, compared to 39 out of 100 people who did not receive Naderin.
NCT07209917
Cervical cancer (CC) remains one of the most common malignancies among women in India, with nearly 100,000 women diagnosed annually and over 60,000 preventable deaths annually. With high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) as the causative agent for CC, one risk factor that places women at high risk for CC is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as impaired immune response against Human papillomavirus (HPV) may result in persistent HR-HPV infection, a critical risk factor for progression of HPV-related cervical oncogenesis. Progression of precancerous lesions among women living with HIV (WLH) is also associated with: 1) lack of HPV screening; 2) high levels of depressive symptoms and stigma; and 3) malnutrition, which negatively impacts the activation and proliferation of immune cells. Yet programs that offer WLH with comprehensive services focused on HPV screening and psychological and nutritional support are almost non-existent, and the gap is critical. Nutrition plays an integral role in relationship to HPV/HIV co-infection, as demonstrated by an increased risk of HR-HPV associated with poor nutrition; nutritional deficiencies are likewise linked to cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia. The immunological effect of malnutrition may also be exacerbated among WLH due to elevated energy demands of chronic immune activation; worsened with HPV/HIV co-infection. Further, depressive symptoms (aka depression for brevity) partially mediate the effect of food insecurity on HIV viral suppression. In our completed ASHA-Nutrition R01 study of antiretroviral (ART) adherence, the investigators trained lay community health workers, named Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA), to improve the health of 600 rural WLH by providing emotional support, skill-building, nutrition education, and/or protein-enriched food supplements. In that study, our intervention, co-delivered by our trained ASHA, and guided by nurses, led to increased CD4+ T cell recovery and improved anthropometric and psychosocial outcomes. The investigators found that ASHA support plus protein supplements and nutritional education were significantly associated with improved CD4 counts and increased lean mass at 18 months (P \< 0.001), as well as significant improvements in depression, ART adherence, social support and internalized stigma. In our sub study, CC screening of 598 of these WLH revealed that 13% were found to have abnormal cervical lesions and 4 (1%) had squamous CC. Preliminary evidence also revealed that nutritional supplements may be associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of abnormal cervical lesions (adjusted odds ratio \[aOR\] = 0.60), with an association between serum albumin and reduced risk of abnormal lesions (aOR= 0.39). With a focus on secondary prevention of CC, the investigators hope to mitigate the link between HR-HPV persistence and risk of CC as well as improve the health of women co-infected with HPV/HIV (W-Co-V). Our stellar team plans to build upon our prior ASHA-Nutrition intervention, using formative research to refine a nurse-led, ASHA co-delivered, nutrition-enhanced SAKHI HPV intervention, adapted for W-Co-V. This will be followed by a randomized controlled trial (RCT), assessing the efficacy of our refined comprehensive, multifaceted SAKHI HPV intervention, as compared with an enhanced Standard of Care (SOC+) (usual care + 3 sessions \[wellness, basic nutrition and HPV/HIV health promotion\]) among 348 high-risk co-infected women to prevent CC while remaining engaged in the HIV treatment cascade, and managing nutritional health. Recruited participants will be individually randomized in a 1:1 ratio into the two study arms. Our Primary outcome is HR-HPV persistence (2 positive tests for the same HR-HPV type, separated by 12-18 months). The two aims incorporating RCT interventions are as follows: Aim 2. To evaluate the efficacy of SAKHI HPV intervention among 348 W-Co-V on the primary outcome (HR-HPV persistence) as compared to the Enhanced Standard of Care (SOC+) program. H2: Compared to the SOC+ participants, SAKHI participants will have lower rates of HR-HPV persistence. Aim 3. Assess the impact of the SAKHI program secondarily on: 1) HIV indices (HIV viral load; CD4 count); 2) Nutritional index (serum albumin) at 6-, 12-, and 18-months.
NCT07671352
Shoulder surgery causes significant postoperative pain, and ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia is central to its management. The interscalene block (ISB) is the gold standard but frequently causes phrenic nerve paralysis and hemi-diaphragmatic paresis, limiting its use in patients with reduced pulmonary reserve. The suprascapular (SSNB) and costoclavicular (CCB) blocks are proposed diaphragm-sparing alternatives, but data directly comparing all three are limited. This randomised, double-blinded trial will compare the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis among ultrasound-guided ISB, SSNB, and CCB in elective shoulder surgery. Seventy-five ASA I-II patients aged 18-70 will be allocated 1:1:1 to one block. The primary outcome is the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis, measured by ultrasound diaphragmatic excursion before induction and after recovery in the PACU. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain, analgesic consumption, and patient satisfaction. The investigators hypothesise that SSNB and CCB will cause less hemidiaphragmatic paresis than ISB while providing comparable analgesia.
NCT06487481
Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer of the adrenal glands. ACC often returns after tumors are removed with surgery. Less than 35% of people with ACC survive 5 years after diagnosis. Objective: To test a new type of external beam RT before surgery in people with ACC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with ACC that came back after treatment but may be safely removed with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. They will have tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. A small sample of tumor tissue may be collected if one is not available. They will undergo laparoscopy: Small incisions will be made in the abdomen so that a thin tube with a light and camera can be inserted to view the organs. RT comes from a machine that aims radiation at tumors. Participants will receive preoperative RT in daily fractions over approximately 2-3 weeks, followed by a planned surgical resection about 4 weeks after the completion of RT. Visits will last 30 to 60 minutes. Participants will undergo surgery to remove their tumors about 4 weeks after they finish RT. They will stay in the hospital 1 to 3 weeks after surgery. Participants will have follow-up visits for 10 years after surgery.

Brief Summary: Migraine and/or Cluster Headache: Study Overview \*\*Background:\*\* Migraine and cluster headache are two primary headache disorders that significantly impact quality of life and functionality in those affected. According to the WHO's recurring burden of disease reports, migraine is among the neurological conditions responsible for the highest number of years lost due to illness. The headaches associated with migraine and cluster headache range from moderate to severe and cause great suffering. Available treatments do not work for everyone and are often associated with adverse side effects. Physical activity has been shown in several studies to have a positive effect on headache. Given the high prevalence of mental health issues, stress, and sleep problems within this patient group, relaxation and low-intensity exercise such as yoga-based movements (YB) could potentially help individuals improve sleep and well-being, while also providing some preventive effect on headaches. \*\*Hypothesis:\*\* Individuals with severe migraine or cluster headache have a strong need for new treatment options. Alternative therapies such as yoga-based exercises, when combined with standard medical treatment as per clinical guidelines, may positively impact: Headache symptoms, Sleep quality and Overall life quality * Purpose and Goals:\*\* This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of a web-based yoga (YB) or live face to face (FTF) intervention in individuals suffering of primary headaches-mainly chronic migraine and/or cluster headache. The study will assess the effect of YB on health-related changes in headache frequency, intensity, and duration associated with primary headache conditions, with a focus headache frequency. A secondary objective is to analyze quality of life, sleep quality, mental health as depression and anxiety. The RCT will also measure objective sleep and biomarkers. We are now summarizing the effects after a pilot study. * Relevance for the Patient Group:\*\* The core objective of the project is to determine whether yoga-based exercises can serve as a complementary treatment to enhance quality of life and health in patients with severe primary headache. To ensure equal healthcare access, this intervention will be delivered in digital format and/or FTF to optimize availability and expand care for individuals with primary headache disorders. These efforts aim to improve life quality and well-being in a vulnerable patient population. Headache conditions often affect individuals in their most productive years, and many live with symptoms for decades. Both work and private life are frequently disrupted, resulting in sick leave and social isolation. Close relatives are also affected, as those suffering from headaches require more recovery time to cope with daily life. With this proposed project, we aim to use physical yoga, rooted in holistic traditional medicine, to help individuals with severe primary headache achieve better physical and mental health-particularly improved sleep quality, which in turn enhances overall life quality.

NCT03737981
This phase III trial compares adding a new anti-cancer drug (venetoclax) to the usual treatment (ibrutinib plus obinutuzumab) in older patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have not received previous treatment. The addition of venetoclax to the usual treatment might prevent chronic lymphocytic leukemia from returning. This trial also will investigate whether patients who receive ibrutinib plus obinutuzumab plus venetoclax and have no detectable chronic lymphocytic leukemia after 1 year of treatment, can stop taking ibrutinib. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with obinutuzumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving ibrutinib and obinutuzumab with venetoclax may work better at treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared to ibrutinib and obinutuzumab.
NCT06079671
This is a phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, global study to explore the efficacy and safety of volrustomig in women with high-risk LACC (FIGO 2018 stage IIIA to IVA cervical cancer) who have not progressed following platinum-based CCRT.
NCT07649096
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive-design, single-site study, involving dose exploration cohorts. During Part A, up to 4 cohorts, each consisting of approximately 14 healthy adult study participants, will be randomly allocated to receive either FZ002 or placebo. Part A is designed to begin with Cohort 1 evaluating the highest proposed dose of study product. This is intended to represent the "ceiling" (highest level) of the ranges of doses to be evaluated in the study. In the event of a safety or tolerability concern in Cohort 1, a dose de-escalation will be evaluated in Cohorts 2-4 until a safe and well-tolerated dose is identified. If no safety or tolerability concerns are identified at the completion of a cohort, the study will proceed to Part B with the approval of the independent Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC). This adaptive design allows for the progression of the study from Part A to Part B without necessarily progressing through all 4 cohorts in Part A if there is a lack of safety or tolerability concerns. During Part B, an initial 'sentinel' Cohort 5 "some-risk" adult study participants will be randomly allocated to receive a single daily dose of FZ002 or placebo for 28 consecutive days. This is intended to represent the "floor" (lowest level) of doses to be evaluated in the study. A Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) will review the available safety data from the first 7 days of Cohort 5. If there is a lack of safety or tolerability concerns over the first 7-days of dosing for Cohort 5, then Cohort 6 will be opened for enrollment. Cohort 6 "some-risk" adult study participants will evaluate the "floor" and "ceiling" dose of FZ002 versus placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and clinical tolerability of oral doses of FZ002 or placebo when taken for up to 28 days.
