MAGNETO is a single-centre, non-randomised, open label Phase I clinical trial of an Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Product (ATIMP) in children and teenagers aged 1-16 years with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. The study will assess the feasibility of generating the ATIMP (GD2 CAR T cells) and the safety of administering the ATIMP in patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma.
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for the control of gastric ulcer-gastritis, erosive esophagitis (gastroesophageal reflux disease), peptic ulcer disease (duodenal ulcer), and heartburn. Despite their efficacy, their use has been implicated in possibly causing fragility fractures (osteoporosis), hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency) and increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The current trial represents the investigators ongoing effort to discern whether these complications could be averted by effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit).
In the United States (US), gay and bisexual men living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) bear a heavy burden of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. It is important to diagnose and treat STIs in a timely manner to prevent health complications and reduce transmissions. The purpose of this study is to understand whether gay and bisexual men living with HIV are willing to collect and return specimens for bacterial STI testing when combined with live audio/video (AV) conferencing support.
Almost 90% of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients experience hand function limitation, which leads to impaired daily functioning and work participation. An important cause of impaired hand function are contractures of the hand, which are reported in up to a half of patients. With this longitudinal cohort study in patients with SSc and VEDOSS (very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis) the investigators aim to gain more insight into processes involved in hand function impairment.
RT-310, a novel implant, is intended to minimally invasive treat locally the prostate gland for the management of prostate disease, while minimizing side-effects. The objectives of the study are to assess whether RT-310 is safe and feasible for the participant population.
Approximately 330 million people in the world are living with asthma and 3-10% of them has difficult asthma that is challenging to control even with maximum doses of pharmacological treatment. In the last five years our multidisciplinary team has shown the clinical benefits of a short-term structured exercise programme for people living with difficult asthma (PDA) (1). However, engaging PDA in self-maintained exercise long-term and outside of the hospital environment remains a challenge. Changing and maintaining behaviours requires complex psychological and cognitive processes and appropriate modes of support by skilled practitioners. Underpinned by behavioural science and health psychology principles, our team has developed a world renown multimodal self-management support intervention for people living with cancer (2). The intervention focuses on initiating and maintaining exercise, optimising diet and includes supporting people through the cognitive and psychological processes to change their behaviour. We aim to adapt this intervention for PDA to optimise their self-management via the LIBERTY study. To achieve the best outcomes, prior to commencing the LIBERTY study, we aim to develop the intervention using the acclaimed Person-Based Approach (PBA) (3). This methodology is considered gold standard in behaviour change intervention development, implementation and evaluation and maximise the probability of the uptake and maintenance of the desired behaviour.
To test a new radiation treatment design based on where your cancer is located. Most participants with oropharyngeal cancer are treated with radiation to both sides of the neck. However, for participants with oropharyngeal cancer on one side of the neck, receiving radiation to both sides of the neck may result in increased side effects and radiation exposure. This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of an approach that involves radiation to only one side of the neck in an effort to reduce the overall amount of radiation given and decrease the amount of side effects you may experience.
This study aims to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) furosemide. The test formulation in this study is furosemide injection, 80 mg/1 mL, buffered to a neutral pH for SC administration via an autoinjector. A commercial formulation of furosemide injection, USP, solution 10 mg/mL administered as a 40 mg IV injection over 2 minutes followed by a second dose of 40 mg, 2 hours later, will serve as the reference drug. The objectives of this study are: - To estimate the bioavailability and describe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of furosemide administered as SC injection via autoinjector compared with equivalent dose of furosemide administered as two 40 mg IV injections, two hours apart. - To describe the safety and tolerability of furosemide administered as SC injection via an autoinjector.
This phase III trial tests how well the addition of dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy works for treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma. Dinutuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called GD2, which is found on the surface of neuroblastoma cells, but is not present on many healthy or normal cells in the body. When dinutuximab binds to the neuroblastoma cells, it helps signal the immune system to kill the tumor cells. This helps the cells of the immune system kill the cancer cells, this is a type of immunotherapy. When chemotherapy and immunotherapy are given together, during the same treatment cycle, it is called chemoimmunotherapy. This clinical trial randomly assigns patients to receive either standard chemotherapy and surgery or chemoimmunotherapy (chemotherapy plus dinutuximab) and surgery during Induction therapy. Chemotherapy drugs administered during Induction include, cyclophosphamide, topotecan, cisplatin, etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. These drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing or by stopping them from spreading. Upon completion of 5 cycles of Induction therapy, a disease evaluation is completed to determine how well the treatment worked. If the tumor responds to therapy, patients receive a tandem transplantation with stem cell rescue. If the tumor has little improvement or worsens, patients receive chemoimmunotherapy on Extended Induction. During Extended Induction, dinutuximab is given with irinotecan, temozolomide. Patients with a good response to therapy move on to Consolidation therapy, when very high doses of chemotherapy are given at two separate points to kill any remaining cancer cells. Following, transplant, radiation therapy is given to the site where the cancer originated (primary site) and to any other areas that are still active at the end of Induction. The final stage of therapy is Post-Consolidation. During Post-Consolidation, dinutuximab is given with isotretinoin, with the goal of maintaining the response achieved with the previous therapy. Adding dinutuximab to Induction chemotherapy along with standard of care surgical resection of the primary tumor, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and immunotherapy may be better at treating children with newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief psychotherapy intervention to improve psychosocial coping and maintain couple relationships among young adults (aged 25-39) with cancer and their caregiving partners.
