A Phase 1 Open-Label, Single Arm Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Intravitreally Administered VP-001 in Participants with Confirmed PRPF31 Mutation-Associated Retinal Dystrophy
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in improving pain in patients with TMD pain after 5 weeks of treatment, 1 month and 3 months after the end of treatment. As secondary objectives, we plan to evaluate the effectiveness of focal shockwave therapy in relation to: 1. Range of motion (ROM) of the temporomandibular joint using goniometry after 5 weeks of treatment; 2. Degree of inflammation, using ultrasound evaluation in the temporomandibular joint relating to the degree of pain after focal shockwave therapy for 5 weeks; 3. Jaw movement (MM), joint noise (RA), joint pressure (PA) and disability index (DI) will be measured at each treatment session and after 5 weeks of treatment, 1 month and 3 months after the end of treatment in the affected joints; 4. Quality of life will be assessed using the "Short Form Health 36" questionnaire (SF-36) during the 5 weeks of treatment, 1 month and 3 months after the end of treatment; 5. Pain control medication will also be considered and compared before and after the proposed treatment for 5 weeks. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring the incidence of study-related adverse events. All patients will be contacted periodically and encouraged to report any side effects.
Explore the shared or separated neural mechanisms of social exclusion and social segregation and compare differential effects of AVP and OXT on these social interaction function.
Adult secondary HLH involves tumors, autoimmune diseases and other causes in addition to infection,Infectious factors, theoretically need different treatment methods for different etiology. But adult HLH itself disease .The situation progresses ferociously, which can cause organ damage and blood coagulation disorder and endanger life quickly, with early mortality (30days).It can be more than 50%. On the other hand, although diagnostic techniques have improved significantly, identifying the cause is still costly Time, such as 1-2 weeks for the pathological diagnosis of lymphoma, leads to more patients losing further treatment due to early death. The opportunity to heal. Therefore, it is important to explore effective induction therapy for adult HLH. In the majority ,Early (30-day) mortality was as high as 40% after cardiac induction using HLH2004 or CHOP(cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and prednisone) induction. HLH, on the other hand, usually requires prompt treatment before the cause is established. Due to a specific infection HLH can benefit from anti-infective therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to explore more effective induction therapy for adult non-infective HLH.It has very important clinical significance. Adult secondary HLH has the common features of a large number of T cell proliferation and activation and a significant reduction of NK(natural killer) cells, in which the central liNK(natural killer) is a large number of T cells proliferation and secomplete remission etion of cytokines, which can be used as induction therapy.Common target is also the pathological basis for designing unified induction scheme. Cyclophosphamide is a commonly used alkylated chemotherapy drug,It's also an important immunosuppressant. Based on the treatment of regenerative disorders anemia, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation prevention.Experience with Plant versus Host disease (GVHD) has shown that the use of cyclophosphamide exceeds a total dose of 25mg/day,Two days can effectively kill CD8(cluster of differentiation 8 )+ or CD4(cluster of differentiation 4 )+T cells, and the maximum tolerated dose of this drug in humans exceeds 50mg/kg/day for two days. Aiming at the central liNK(natural killer) of adult HLH pathogenesis, The investigators designed for the first time to use a large dose of cyclophosphamide (25mg-50mg/kg/day 2days) to inhibit the activation of T cells, inhibit the production of cytokines and block the development mechanism of HLH. This study intends to conduct a randomized controlled study, with HLH2004 scheme as the control, and the observation is large efficacy and safety of dose cyclophosphamide in induction therapy of non-infective adult HLH in order to complete remission eate a new induction Treatment plan.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate about the characteristics that predict response to physiotherapy treatment in patients with nerve related neck arm pain. The main question to answer is whether there is a subgroup that responds better to physiotherapy treatment. Participants will be assessed for clinical and neurophysiological characteristics prior to treatment. Afterwards they will receive 6 sessions of manual physiotherapy treatment along with home nerve gliding exercises once a week. Baseline measurements will be taken again after treatment to know if there have been any changes.
The study is a multicenter, Phase Ib/IIa, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered KAND567 in combination with carboplatin therapy, and to determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RPIID) of KAND567 in combination with carboplatin in subjects with recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. In Part 1, dose escalation will be based on the recommendation of the Safety Review Committee (SRC) after review of the emerging safety and tolerability information. Once the RPIID has been identified in Part 1, the SRC may recommend to the Sponsor to start Part 2. An expansion cohort will be enrolled in Part 2 of the study to further evaluate the RPIID (approximately 20 subjects; may range from 6 to 24 subjects, depending on Part 1). If the number of subjects with confirmed CX3CR1 expression in tumor cells is below 50%, an additional 15 subjects may be included in Part 2 of the study.
The study will explore the use of a haptic device for sensory substitution in individuals with a movement disorder that has caused loss of plantar sensation. The haptic device consists of two components. The first element is a flexible insole with embedded pressure-sensing elements that transmit the spatial patterns of applied foot pressure over time. The second element is a haptic receiver with embedded actuators that vibrate or heat up in proportion to the transmitted pressure patterns, thus substituting the patient's lost plantar sensation.
This qualitative study seeks to explore the unmet needs of individuals who have recently undergone a cancer diagnosis and completed the acute phase of treatment. The primary objective is to utilize the experiences of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders to enhance the aftercare provided to cancer survivors. By delving into patient perceptions regarding unmet needs in cancer aftercare, the study aims to identify areas for redesigning and improving services to minimize these needs and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. Importantly, the investigation incorporates insights from patients, their caregivers, and stakeholders. The research will employ qualitative methods, specifically focus groups and interviews, to gather comprehensive perspectives from individuals in the Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia district who have completed treatment for breast, prostate, colorectal, thyroid, and multiple myeloma cancers. Including patients with diverse cancer types is crucial for capturing a broad spectrum of experiences. During data collection, both focus group discussions and interviews will be recorded in audio format and transcribed verbatim. This meticulous approach ensures an accurate representation of participants' voices and experiences. The subsequent analysis will employ a combination of framework and thematic analysis to extract meaningful insights and synthesize the data effectively. The study's ultimate goal is to leverage the findings to optimize aftercare services for cancer survivors within the local context of Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia. By incorporating the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and stakeholders, the research aims to contribute valuable insights that can inform the redesign and improvement of aftercare services, ultimately benefitting cancer survivors in the region.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of treatment of prostate cancer in patients who have received a focal HIFU treatment using the Focal One medical device.
