NCT01920932
This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving brentuximab vedotin, combination chemotherapy, and radiation therapy works in treating younger patients with stage IIB, IIIB or IV Hodgkin lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, prednisone, doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, and dacarbazine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving brentuximab vedotin with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells and reduce the need for radiation therapy.
NCT07011394
Asthma is a common inflammatory respiratory disease affecting 11% of Canadians, but its diagnosis remains challenging, leading to delays in treatment or overtreatment. Spirometry with a reversibility test and bronchial provocation testing (BPT), considered the gold standard, are the reference diagnostic methods. However, access to BPT is limited as it is performed in hospital settings. Type 2 inflammation biomarkers, the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophils (EOS), represent a potential alternative. In addition to their prognostic and theragnostic value, these markers predict a good response to inhaled corticosteroids in individuals aged ≥ 6 years with asthma. However, their use remains restricted to pulmonologists in specialized clinics and is not recommended as a diagnostic tool in Quebec. Despite studies demonstrating their diagnostic value in specialized settings, these tests remain underexplored in primary care and insufficiently studied in children under 12 years. The objective of ou study is to evaluate the relevance and performance of FeNO and blood eosinophils in the diagnosis of asthma in children referred in primary care with non-diagnostic spirometry.
NCT05853874
The SENIOR STUDY is aimed at improving the condition of older adults and malnutrition management in and out Italian hospital settings, since malnutrition is highly prevalent, clinically relevant and potentially treatable conditions. This study consist of two phases: an initial cross-sectional phase and a secondary nutritional intervention phase (RCT). The SENIOR RCT aim to evaluate the efficacy of a 6 months nutrition protocol intervention compared to hospital standard care on malnourished older adults. Physical and nutritional status will be evaluated through anthropometric measures, blood exams and physical performance. In addition, the individual health perception will be evaluated. It is expected to find an improvements of the physical and nutritional status.
NCT06015191
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of video conferencing for the delivery of live-supervised, real-time cardiac rehabilitation (CR) exercise training to groups of adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) in their homes. Participants will be randomized to either the remote cardiac rehab (RCR) group or active control group. The RCR group will participate in live, group-based exercise training (3-5 participants per exercise session), in their homes 3 days per week for 45 minutes over 12-weeks. Exercise sessions will be led and supervised by a live health coach via telehealth video technology. The active control group will be provided informational handouts on health exercise for their cardiac diagnosis. The primary aim is to compare between group changes (0-12-weeks) in cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak). Secondary aims are to compare between group changes (0-12-weeks) in cardiac function (echocardiography), lean body mass, and physical frailty. Exploratory aims will compare between group changes (0-12-weeks) in physical function, quality of life, skeletal muscle function, and physical activity self-efficacy. Additionally, exploratory aims will explore the impact of demographic characteristics, program participation, program satisfaction, and daily physical activity on changes in cardiorespiratory fitness.

NCT04613128
This is a prospective, multi-center observational study. The study is designed to measure the clinical effectiveness of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor (ETI) triple combination therapy in children (6-11 years of old) with one or more copies of the F508del mutation, study the effects of ETI across a number of CF disease manifestations, and collect specimens for future research. Subjects in the study will have one "before ETI" visit within 30 days before initiation of the therapy and five "after ETI" visits over a 24-month follow-up period. Participants who have participated in the original PROMISE Pediatric Sub-Study have the option of participating in a long-term extension with annual visits performed at the 36- and 48-month timepoints. The durability of the clinical and biological changes in the PROMISE Pediatric Sub-Study can be assessed with extended follow-up, which would enable the sub-studies to consider potential clinical consequences of the biological or physiological effects being studied. This work will help to inform long term prognosis and feasibility of certain clinical trials outcomes for interventional studies and may be useful when considering research priorities in drug development. The duration of participation for each subject is 24 months (with an additional 24 months if participants agree to the optional long-term extension). NOTE: FDA has granted approval for elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor in the 6-11 age group.

NCT04371315
Patient are being asked to provide respiratory and blood samples for a clinical research study because the patients have a virus called the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, that causes the disease known as Covid-19. Investigators do not know a lot about this virus, including all the ways it travels from person to person. Investigators also do not know if a person will get sick or not from the virus after being in close contact with someone who has the virus. Because of this, investigators are performing research on the virus found in respiratory secretions to get more information on how investigators can best detect and treat this new virus in the future. Primary Objective * To determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Covid-19 in children. * To characterize the clinical risk factors of Covid-19 in children.. Secondary Objectives * To characterize the immunological risk factors and serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.- To evaluate the duration of viral shedding in children. * To evaluate the duration of SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding in children. Exploratory Objective
NCT05465174
The current study assesses the tolerability and efficacy of monotherapy with pan-RAF-kinase (Tovorafenib) inhibition for the treatment of children and young adults with craniopharyngioma.
NCT07243470
This clinical trial is a 2-phase trial designed to evaluate the safety of tarlatamab in combination with a fixed dose of metronomic temozolomide in adolescents and adults with CNS tumors (stratified into two age-based cohorts), and to assess the clinical activity of this therapeutic strategy in three parallel, histology-defined cohorts (IDH-mutant glioma, other gliomas, and other CNS tumors). A pre-screening to detect DLL3 expression by IHC on archival tumor sample must be performed before the therapeutic part. Only patients with DLL3 positive tumor on IHC can be enrolled in the therapeutic part. This pre-screening must be optimally performed during the ongoing treatment line i.e. before documented progression to not delay treatment starts at time of progression. Tumor samples (surgery or biopsy specimen) will be sent to a central lab for IHC testing.
NCT03585010
This study aims to investigate whether a parent-based treatment for childhood anxiety disorders engages child brain circuitry implicated in children's reliance on parents to reduce anxiety (R61), and whether change in child brain circuitry is associated with reduction in child anxiety (R33).
NCT07362433
Antibiotics are a mainstay of the treatment of lower respiratory infections in young children even though most episodes are caused by self-limiting viruses. Innovative child friendly tools that improve the diagnosis of respiratory illnesses, safely reduce the unnecessary use of antibiotics, and are suitable for implementation in resource-constrained settings are urgently required to safely improve antibiotic stewardship and stem the rising rates of antibiotic resistance globally. In the Bangladesh Lung Auscultation Artificial Intelligence for Antibiotic Stewardship Trial (BLAAAST) the investigators aim to determine whether treatment failure frequency among children in rural Bangladesh managed by clinical guidelines enhanced by a commercially available, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital stethoscope is non-inferior to guidelines alone. The investigators hypothesize treatment failure frequency among 'enhanced IMCI' participants will be no worse than standard care by a +/-2% margin, safely reducing antibiotic use by 50-60%. The investigators will also evaluate if a diagnostic strategy enhanced by an AI-enabled digital stethoscope is a sustainable alternative to standard care for children in rural Bangladesh. The investigators hypothesize that care augmented by an AI-enabled digital stethoscope will have additional benefits via reduced antibiotic use that will outweigh digital auscultation costs resulting in cost-effectiveness compared to current practice. BLAAAST affords a unique opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of clinical guidelines enhanced by an AI-enabled digital stethoscope on child pneumonia outcomes in Bangladesh, if digital auscultation may be instrumental in the wider antibiotic stewardship strategy, and whether a digital stethoscope diagnostic tool is cost-effective in the care of children with respiratory illnesses.
NCT07537842
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out which method of protecting the perineum during childbirth works better in reducing tears in first-time mothers. The study will compare two commonly used techniques-Finnish and Viennese manual perineal protection-during the second stage of labor. It will also assess whether these techniques are safe and practical to use. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the Finnish technique reduce the number of perineal tears compared to the Viennese technique? 2. Are there any differences in labor outcomes or complications between the two techniques? Researchers will randomly assign 60 pregnant women (first-time mothers with full-term, single pregnancies) into two groups. One group will receive the Finnish technique, while the other group will receive the Viennese technique during the second stage of labor. Participants will: * Be enrolled when they are in active labor and planning a normal vaginal delivery * Be randomly assigned to one of the two perineal protection techniques * Have their labor monitored, including the duration of different stages of labor * Undergo a clinical examination after delivery to check for any perineal tears A trained obstetrician who is not aware of which technique was used will examine the mother after delivery to ensure unbiased assessment. Any tears identified will be treated according to standard hospital guidelines. By comparing these two techniques, this study aims to identify the safer and more effective method to reduce perineal injury during childbirth, which may help improve maternal outcomes and quality of care.
