This is a double-blind within-subjects clinical laboratory study comparing the product appeal and abuse liability-related subjective effects of different flavored cigar wrappers for marijuana blunts.
This pilot study will test the acceptability and feasibility of a sleep extension intervention in community-dwelling, short-sleeping, racially/ethnically diverse middle-aged adults with MetS. Baseline sleep habits will be assessed and used to guide individualized strategies to extend sleep. A 1-group pretest-posttest study design will test the efficacy of this 18-week study (2 weeks of baseline data collection, 1 week of study intervention planning, 12 weeks of sleep intervention delivery, final follow up 3 weeks after last day of the 12-week intervention) on sleep duration, MetS risk behaviors (reduced physical activity, increased sedentary behavior, poor diet quality), symptoms associated with MetS risk behaviors (poor affective well-being, fatigue), and self-regulation. Socio-ecological barriers and facilitators to the intervention will be identified using a quantitative and qualitative approac
The study evaluates the effects of two different Colchicine doses (0.01mg/kg/day or 0.005 mg/kg/day) compared to placebo in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients. Disease progression as defined by changes in ALSFRS-r is the primary outcome measure. Other measures of clinical progression and survival, together with safety and tolerability of Colchicine in ALS patients will be assessed.
Lung cancer is diagnosed at metastatic stage in 60% of the cases. For these patients, first-line treatment is based on histology and molecular characterization of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, quality and quantity of tumor tissue are crucial to determine the appropriate treatment (targeted therapies, chemotherapy and immunotherapy). However, in routine practice, tissue quality and quantity can be limited (25%), resulting in the need for tumor rebiopsy for molecular analysis. Therefore, lung cancer patients often experience substantial delays before treatment initiation that may be associated with worse patient experience of subsequent cancer care and poorer clinical outcomes. "Liquid biopsies" (LB) are used to detect genomic alterations in cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA). Since very recently, they are routinely used in reference centers for the detection of EGFR-mutations when tissue is not sufficient for molecular characterization. Importantly, the feasibility and clinical relevance of systematic liquid biopsies in routine practice has never been evaluated in patients with suspicious advanced lung cancer. Investigators hypothesize that using systematic LB in patients with clinical suspicion of metastatic lung cancer may reduce time-to-treatment initiation and avoid tissue rebiopsy. Investigators performed a retrospective study including 250 NSCLC patients treated in a tertiary Cancer Center and in the University Hospital of Lyon, France. The mean time-to-appropriate frontline treatment initiation (TTI) was 42+/-22.5 days. With the use of LB at the time of first consultation, the investigators believe it is possible to reduce the mean TTI down to 33 days (21% reduction in TTI) in the overall population with suspicious metastatic lung cancer, including a 50% and 40% reduction in TTI for EGFR/ALK/ROS1/BRAF V600E subgroups and KRAS/LKB1/ERBB2/c-MET/BRAF non V600E subgroups, respectively. Investigators therefore designed a "real-life" randomized study to evaluate the feasibility and clinical relevance of LB to decrease the TTI, which may in turn improve patients' outcome. Genomic analyses of circulating cfDNA will be performed using a robust and highly sensitive technology (InVision®), that profiles the presence of genomic aberrations in a panel of 35 genes including mutations, insertion/deletions and rearrangements, including all actionable alterations required to initiate the appropriate first-line therapy (EGFR-, ALK-, ROS1 and BRAF V600E).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of M281 administered to participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who have an insufficient clinical response to ongoing standard of care therapy.
Open label multi center study for the donation of HCV positive kidneys to HCV negative recipients with interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
As a traditional Chinese medicine compound, SaiLuoTong capsule is proven to have beneficial effects on learning and memory ability in animal models of vascular dementia (VaD). According to the result of the phase II study, the efficacy of SaiLuoTong capsule in the treatment of patients with VaD was better than that of placebo group and no difference in safety. So the study hypothesis is also that SaiLuoTong capsule will be effective in the treatment of patients with VaD and will be well tolerated. The purpose of the study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of SaiLuoTong capsule on patients with mild to moderate VaD. The outcome measures include general cognitive function, executive function, daily living skills, and mental behavior changes of symptoms in VaD patients.
The purpose of this observational research study is to determine the effects of clinically prescribed Orkambi treatment on 2 to 5 year old children homozygous for the F508del Mutations in the Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on sleeping energy expenditure, growth status and gut health and function.
Pazopanib is an angiogenesis inhibitor targeting VEGFR-1, -2, and -3; PDGFR-α and -β; and the receptor c-Kit, and is indicated for the treatment of subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and advanced STS. For this orphan tumor, STS, PD-L1 targeting may be a promising strategy and favorable toxicity may warrant further combination.
Hepatitis B is one of the major public health problems in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, about 2 billion people have been in contact with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and 257 million have chronic HBV infection. Although France is a low endemic country, with just over 280,000 people with chronic infection, hepatitis B remains a public health problem due to its morbidity and mortality. Drug users are a population at risk by their consumption practices (injection or sniffing), but also by other high-risk behaviours, particularly sexual behaviours. Prevention therefore involves securing consumption practices (sterile and single-use equipment) and protection of sexual intercourse, but also by vaccination (protecting more than 90%). Since 1982, HAS has recommended to systematically vaccinate drug users. However, according to the Marmottan study published in 2003, immunization coverage among drug addicts was already insufficient in 1999 (45.3%) and decreased again in 2000 and 2001 (15.6 and 21.7%). This decrease can be explained by the controversy around the potential link, now refuted, between vaccine against HBV and demyelination, which has stopped the mass vaccination campaign launched by the French health authorities in 1995. A study conducted between 2009 and 2012 on injecting drug users in Alsace, estimated vaccination coverage at 28%. The hypothesize is that despite the recommendations in a population at high risk of contamination, and a balance of benefits and risks in favor of vaccination, vaccination coverage against the hepatitis B virus remains insufficient among drug users because of poor vaccination acquaintance, and hepatitis B in general, in this population. Principal objective of this study is to identify non-vaccination factors against hepatitis B virus among drug users consulting at the Croix-Rousse CSAPA.
