NCT06905587
Cancer-related fatigue is a common and debilitating late effect in pediatric brain tumor survivors. Currently, evidence-based recommendations to ameliorate this condition are lacking. The researchers will investigate the ability of methylphenidate to improve fatigue and cognition in pediatric brain tumor survivors suffering from cancer-related fatigue. Methylphenidate is a drug (central nervous stimulant) most commonly used in the treatment of hyperkinetic disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). If methylphenidate shows an effect, the prospects are important for this patient group, since methylphenidate may then be included as part of the treatment of brain tumor-related fatigue.
NCT02166853
Numerous trials support the efficacy and safety of volatile anesthetic agents, namely inhalation of sevoflurane through dedicated devices, for the sedation of ICU patients. Several preclinical studies have shown that sevoflurane inhalation improves gas exchange and decreases pulmonary and systemic inflammation in experimental models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The purpose of our prospective monocentric, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of an early 48-hour sevoflurane inhalation on gas exchange and inflammation in patients with ARDS.
NCT04670016
Although many children with brain tumours are successfully cured of their disease, a substantial proportion of patients suffer disease recurrence and require further treatment. This therapy may involve a repeat course of radiation (RT2). Based on retrospective data, re-irradiation may provide palliative and even potentially curative benefit. However, such retrospective data are subject to bias, which may over-report survival and under-report toxicity. Furthermore, we do not know how re-irradiation affects patients' HRQOL. The goal of this research is to prospectively describe the HRQOL of patients diagnosed with DIPG and recurrent brain tumors and their families before and after re-irradiation to more accurately assess the benefit versus the toxicity of this treatment. In addition, if we are able to demonstrate the feasibility of collecting HRQOL information on a routine basis we will be able to justify the need to conduct this research further and implement HRQOL screening as a standard of care for these patients. Re-irradiation for children with DIPG and recurrent brain tumours will not cure these children from their disease but may improve neurological function and wellbeing. We postulate that the opportunity of more time to say the final good bye and creating memories will facilitate bereavement and prevent psychological dysfunction of parents and siblings. A greater understanding of what helps these families may enable clinicians to better support these children and their families in this difficult disease course. Ultimately our goal is to improve the psychological experience of these patients and their families.
NCT06776783
This is a 2-part, prospective, randomized, blinded, sham-controlled, multi-center study comparing preterm subjects with RDS who are treated with APC-0101 and nCPAP/NIV to subjects treated with nCPAP/NIV alone (Sham). In Part 1, subjects will be followed until they reach 40 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA) or are discharged from the NICU, whichever comes first. In Part 2, subjects will undergo post-term follow-up through 24 months corrected age.
NCT04565665
This is a phase I trial followed by a phase II randomized trial. The purpose of phase I study is the feasibility of treating patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19 infection (COVID-19) with cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The purpose of the phase II trial is to compare the effect of MSC with standard of care in these patients. MSCs are a type of stem cells that can be taken from umbilical cord blood and grown into many different cell types that can be used to treat cancer and other diseases. The MSCs being used for infusion in this trial are collected from healthy, unrelated donors and are stored and grown in a laboratory. Giving MSC infusions may help control the symptoms of COVID-19 related ARDS.

NCT07123961
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung condition that can affect children. Currently, ventilator settings commonly used in treatment are based on approaches developed for adults, and it remains unclear whether these settings are equally effective for children. Because children's bodies respond differently than adults', it is important to determine the most effective ventilator strategies specifically for pediatric patients. This study will compare two different ventilator approaches in children with ARDS to identify which method provides the greatest benefit. The findings will also help inform the design of a larger study in the future.

NCT07450846
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory injury of the lungs caused by various serious illnesses, such as a bacterial or viral lung infection. It is treated by artificial ventilation with the application of positive pressure. Pulmonary injury, coupled with artificial ventilation, can lead to right heart failure which hinders the ejection of blood to the pulmonary circulation. Modern mechanical ventilation modalities have reduced the frequency ("incidence") of this right heart failure in acute respiratory distress syndrome. A large-scale study has shown this a few years ago. However, the evolution of right heart failure during artificial ventilation, and the consequences it has on the patient's cardiovascular status are poorly determined. This study is conducted to improve knowledge in this area. In adult patients hospitalized in intensive care presenting acute respiratory distress syndrome, the investigators will collect the data recorded on cardiac ultrasound, doses of cardiovascular drugs as well as variables reflecting hemodynamic status and cell oxygenation. Data will be collected during the course of ARDS and mechanical ventilation, as well as after weaning from artificial ventilation.
NCT07449572
This Phase 1/2A, randomized, double-blind study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of HT31-1 (hCitH3-mAb) in healthy adult volunteers and in patients with mild-to-moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to an infectious source. The current trial (Part A) focuses on single ascending doses (SAD) in healthy volunteers to characterize the safety profile, PK parameters, and immunogenicity of HT31-1. Emerging data from this phase will inform dose selection for the subsequent Part B study in ARDS patients and help establish the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Additionally, exploratory pharmacodynamic and biomarker assessments will be performed to evaluate target engagement and potential early biological activity.
NCT07445061
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Prone position ventilation (PPV) is an evidence-based therapy that improves oxygenation and survival in patients with moderate to severe ARDS; however, outcomes remain heterogeneous. Early identification of patients at high risk of mortality after PPV may improve clinical decision-making and individualized management. This retrospective observational study aims to develop and validate a machine learning model to predict intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in ARDS patients receiving prone position ventilation. Clinical, laboratory, and treatment variables collected from ICU electronic medical records will be used to construct prediction models using multiple machine learning algorithms. The performance of these models will be evaluated and compared to identify the optimal model for mortality prediction.
