NCT ID: NCT03071445 Completed - Clinical trials for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)

Feasibility Study of MID-C for AIS

MID-C
Start date: April 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common disorder of unknown etiology in which the vertebrae and discs gradually develop a curvature that is first detected in patients between 11 and 20 years of age. The deformity is 3-dimensional, with a coronal curve measured from radiographs by the Cobb angle . The Cobb angle measurement of scoliosis represents the sum of the angular wedging of each vertebra and disc between the superior and inferior end vertebrae . Although a small curve is well tolerated and does not require treatment, a large curve can progress to the point that it is cosmetically unacceptable, interferes with chest wall mechanics, and produces cardiac and pulmonary compromises. The natural history of AIS apparently includes 2 stages: the initiation of the curve and its subsequent progression. The factors responsible for the initiation of the curve are unknown, but the subsequent progression of the curve is clearly associated with the adolescent growth spurt . The primary risk factors for progression include age at onset and the magnitude of the curve; young patients with large curves are at the highest risk . Although numerous treatment methods have been recommended for patients with AIS, the only accepted treatment includes bracing for skeletally immature patients with curves between 25 and 40 degrees and operative correction with spinal fusion for patients with curves greater than 45 degrees. For many teenagers, the cosmetic and social concerns associated with bracing has caused compliance problems with wearing the brace and many patients only wear the brace at home . While operative intervention completely corrects the scoliosis or rib hump, it eliminates segmental spinal motion, and concentrates stresses at the ends of the fusion potentially leading to disc degeneration and back pain. Despite satisfactory short-term results of operative instrumentation and fusion, a less invasive technique preserving more motion with a smaller scar represents a major improvement. Realizing this goal is contingent on treating curves early, before they progress to an irreversible deformity, and when there is still enough residual growth and remodeling potential. ApiFix Ltd has developed a novel implant for less invasive treatment of AIS. The MID-C system is designed to correct the deformity step by step along a period of time, giving the skeletal and soft tissues time to accommodate any incremental correction. The MID-C System inherent benefits are: - Only two screws are used - Incision size is much smaller - Simpler operation with shorter operative time - Less complications (attributed to the three points above). - Minimal spinal mobility loss. All the device components are made of materials well accepted in the orthopedic field and are fully biocompatible (see Investigator Brochure). The unique concept of the system and the materials used may provide favorable results as follows: Smaller scare, quicker healing period and better spine mobility over the years. This study is designed to demonstrate that the MID-C System is safe and effective.

NCT ID: NCT03068780 Completed - Clinical trials for Epidermolysis Bullosa

Phase III Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Epidermolysis Bullosa

EASE
Start date: March 29, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This was a Phase III, Efficacy and Safety Study of Oleogel-S10 in Participants with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a rare group of genetic skin fragility disorders characterised by blistering of the skin in response to minor injury. In most cases, onset of EB is at birth or shortly after. All participants affected by any type of EB share the main characteristic of repeatedly developing painful wounds that take days to months to heal. Current treatment of EB is primarily preventative and supportive including protection from mechanical forces by avoiding rubbing, early treatment of wounds to prevent infections, and protection of the wound with adequate non-adhesive dressings to enable healing. The active pharmaceutical ingredient in Oleogel-S10 is a refined birch bark extract, quantified to 72 to 88% betulin. This clinical study of Oleogel-S10 in patients with inherited EB has been carried out to investigate whether Oleogel-S10 is effective for treatment of EB wounds and safe for long-term use. Oleogel-S10 was compared to a control gel. The control gel matched Oleogel-S10 in terms of texture and visual appearance to allow for double-blinding. The packaging for Oleogel-S10 gel and the control gel were identical. The participant received either Oleogel-S10 or control gel for a double-blind study phase of 90 days. The probability that the participant received Oleogel-S10 was 50%, which means that they had a 1 in 2 chance of receiving Oleogel-S10. However, in the follow-up phase of the study all participants were treated with Oleogel-S10 for a period of 24 months. This clinical study was performed at 49 study sites in 26 countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong [China], Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States); 223 participants participated in total.

NCT ID: NCT03067714 Completed - Immunity Clinical Trials

A Clinical Study to Investigate the Effect of a Partially Hydrolysed Infant Formula With Added Synbiotics on Gut Microbiota Composition and Clinical Effectiveness in Infants at High Risk of Developing Allergy

TEMPO
Start date: March 30, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

With the rising prevalence of allergic diseases and the subsequent risk of developing other immune-related disorders, primary prevention of allergy has become a major priority. It is generally acknowledged that breastfeeding is one of the main pillars in allergy prevention. Infant formulas based on hydrolysed proteins have been developed to be used by infants at increased risk of developing allergy in case a mother is unable or chooses not to breastfeed her infant. It has recently been demonstrated that the gut microbiota composition and microbiota activity of infants receiving an infant formula based on partially hydrolysed proteins, supplemented with oligosaccharides, is more similar to breastfed infants than to infants receiving standard cow's milk formula, demonstrated by increased levels of bifidobacteria. However the interaction between microbial changes impacted by an hypoallergenic concept and its influence on early life immune development should be further explored. The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate the bifidogenic effect of a hypoallergenic formula supplemented with prebiotics and probiotics compared to standard infant formula in infants at increased risk of developing allergic disease. This study will secondary assess the effects of this concept on the development of allergic manifestations up to the age of 12 months, which will be verified in a separate clinical study MAESTRO as primary outcome. Furthermore, the effects on growth and safety will be studied.

NCT ID: NCT03066830 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

NCT ID: NCT03066778 Completed - Clinical trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

A Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Combination With Etoposide/Platinum (Cisplatin or Carboplatin) for Participants With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-3475-604/KEYNOTE-604)

Start date: May 2, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy (etoposide/platinum [EP]) in participants with newly diagnosed extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have not previously received systemic therapy for this malignancy. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab+EP prolongs Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) and Overall Survival (OS) compared with placebo+EP in adult participants with ES-SCLC. In this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. With protocol Amendment 07 (03-Oct-2018), the outcome measure of "Change from Baseline at Weeks 12 and 24 in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life Scale" was replaced with a single time point analysis at Week 18.
