NCT ID: NCT04829981 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Water-Related Diseases

SAFEWATER Health & Behaviour Impact Field Trials; Colombia

SAFEWATER
Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

At least 1.8 billion people globally use a source of drinking water that is faecally contaminated and thus likely to lead to diarrheal illness: nearly 1,000 children die each day due to water and sanitation-related diarrhoeal diseases. Diseases related to the consumption of contaminated drinking-water place a major burden on human health. In 2017, 785 million people still lacked access to an improved drinking water source, and these are mostly the poor and marginalised. Almost a quarter of those people rely on surface water that is untreated and over 90% live in rural areas. Many people are forced to rely on sources that are microbiologically unsafe, leading to a higher risk of contracting waterborne diseases, including typhoid, hepatitis A and E, polio and cholera. The objectives of the SAFEWATER project is to develop technologies to provide clean water to economically deprived communities in rural Colombia and Mexico. These water technologies will be tested under real conditions with the cooperation of the rural communities. The SAFEWATER field trials aims to evaluate the health and behaviour impacts of implementing SAFEWATER water treatment technologies for drinking water disinfection, with a behavioral change intervention, within rural communities in Colombia and Mexico The project has three specific objectives: 1. Assess water quality improvement at household level 2. Assess behaviors and test behavioral interventions' 3. Assess child growth and related health outcomes Three communities in Colombia and one community in Mexico were recruited to take part in the study. Communities were selected based on factors such as current availability of clean water, accessibility, safety, community size and current activities within the communities. Pilot and feasibility studies were carried out prior to commencing field trials, thus the design of the trials vary across countries. Mexico field trial: The trial in Mexico will use a stepped-wedge design, randomized at household level over a 12-month period (6-12 steps dependent on adherence and feasibility). All households (max n200) willing to be involved will be recruited (separate clinicaltrials.gov registration). Colombia field trial: the trial in Colombia will use a non-randomized parallel design (2:1; intervention:control). A maximum of 84 households (54:30; intervention:control) will be recruited to take part, with families with young children (<12 years) prioritized. Outcomes for both countries will include 1) water quality, 2) water-related behaviour (e.g. frequency of system use, uses of treated / raw water), and 3) health, e.g. diarrhoea prevalence, growth (height/weight), school attendance, water insecurity status, gut integrity. Impact: The development and deployment of the SAFEWATER technology has the potential to impact on clean drinking water access for participating communities in Mexico and Colombia, and subsequently on the health and wellbeing of those individuals involved. Additionally if successful, the work will also provide an evidence based model for the provision of improved access to clean drinking water for rural communities in developing regions more widely.

Study type: Interventional

The NUTROVID Factorial Trials The purpose of the NUTROVID-Prevent and NUTROVID-Treat Factorial Trials is to determine whether Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin C, and Zinc; Vitamin D; and Omega3, taken at dosages approximating recommended dosages, can reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, mortality.

NCT ID: NCT04828148 Completed - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Incidence of Infection and Mortality by COVID-19 in Specialists

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In this current study the researchers aim to identify the total number of infections and deaths due to COVID-19 and distinguish which are the risk factors most related to COVID-19 infections and deaths in medical personnel in Mexico.

NCT ID: NCT04823676 Completed - Clinical trials for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver

Efficacy and Safety of a Probiotic Composition as Adjunct in MAFL Management

Start date: March 31, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Some studies have shown beneficial results with probiotics on hepatic function of subjects with fatty liver, but significant variability has been noted among probiotic formulations. This study aims at providing a comprehensive characterization of the effect of a particular probiotic formula in hepatic function of said subjects.

NCT ID: NCT04822181 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis

Research Study on Whether Semaglutide Works in People With Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

ESSENCE
Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Semaglutide is a medicine studied in patients with NASH. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. Participants will either get semaglutide or a dummy medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will need to inject themselves with medicine under the skin. Participants will need to do this once a week. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 21 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the clinical staff during the study. Some of the clinic visits may be spread over more than one day. Participants with other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. Women cannot take part in the study if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

NCT ID: NCT04822038 Completed - Clinical trials for Vitamin D Deficiency

Immunomodulating Effects of Supplementation With 25-OH Vitamin D

SCLERODERMA
Start date: June 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction. The thickening fibrotic of the skin in systemic sclerosis (SSc) could reduce endogenous availability of Vitamin D by sun exposition. Vitamin D hypovitaminosis have been described in high prevalence in autoimmune disease as SSc. The cholecalciferol contributes to improve the balance TH1/Th2/Treg in favor anti-inflammation and anti-fibrotic profile. Aim. to analyze the effect(s) of short-term cholecalciferol supplementation on cytokine profile in Th1, Th2, and Treg cells subpopulations in SSc patients. Method. Randomized clinical trial conduct in patients with SSc (ACR-EULAR 2015) who signed informed consent. General characteristics, severity of organ involvement scored by Medsger disease severity scale (MsDSS) and cytokine Th1, Th2 and Treg will be determinate. All data will be analyzed using SPSS software. It will be used parametric statistics for normally distributed variables and nonparametric statistics for free distribution.

NCT ID: NCT04819100 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

A Study of Selpercatinib After Surgery or Radiation in Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

LIBRETTO-432
Start date: December 20, 2021
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The reason for this study is to see if the study drug, selpercatinib, compared to placebo is effective and safe in delaying cancer return in participants with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who have already had surgery or radiation. Participants who are assigned to placebo and stop the study drug because their disease comes back or gets worse have the option to potentially crossover to selpercatinib. Participation could last up to three years.
