Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Researchers want to see if lowering the dose of standard radiotherapy (RT) after chemotherapy can help get rid of CNS germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.
Diabetes during pregnancy increases maternal and fetal complications, necessitating optimal glycemic control. The standard care diet (SCD, ≥175g/day carbohydrate) lacks robust evidence, particularly for pregnancies requiring intensive insulin treatment (IIT). This RCT investigates whether a moderate carbohydrate diet (MCD, ≤120g/day) versus SCD improves glycemic control and alters metabolomic profiles in pregnant individuals on IIT. Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of a SCD versus MCD on glycemic control, metabolomic signatures, and pregnancy outcomes in pregnant individuals on IIT.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of animated films and story books on the fear and anxiety levels of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
This project aims to implement an adapted self-affirmation intervention among a population of individuals with diabetes to reduce the negative psychosocial impacts of stigma. In a self-affirmation, participants are guiding through a writing exercise writing designed to reinforce sources of self-worth before they encounter or engage in stressful or stigmatizing events. Participants in this study will be asked to complete self-affirmation exercises before their 3-month wellness appointments with their endocrinologists over the course of a year. The main questions the investigators are asking are: - Will self-affirmation reduce feelings of stigmatization? - Will self-affirmation increase self-efficacy and motivation to engage in condition management behaviors. - Will self-affirmation improve blood glucose control. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. Participants in the waitlist control condition will also complete writing exercises but they will be abbreviated (this in the psychological literature is referred to as a "low affirmation condition"). At the end of the study, waitlist control participants will have access to the full exercise should they like to receive it. After each appointment and self-affirmation, participants will complete surveys assessing feelings of stigma and motivation to engage in condition management. All participants will already be using continuous glucose monitors. The investigators will compare both survey responses and continuous glucose data between our conditions to assess the efficacy of the self-affirmation intervention.
The goal of this observational study is to compare fetal liver ultrasound radiomics between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are fetal liver ultrasound radiomic features reproducible? - Does fetal liver ultrasound radiomics differ between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls? Participants will undergo ultrasound examination to collect ultrasound data for the analyses.
A randomized controlled clinical trial that will test how progressive resistance training will impact outcomes of sarcopenia in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have been diagnosed as sarcopenia. The intervention will be 12 weeks in duration with approximately 24 sessions of resistance exercises. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 4, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in adipose (fat) tissue macrophages (ATM) in regulating adipose tissue and systemic metabolic function in obesity. The investigators will assess the differences in ATM lipid metabolism in people with metabolically abnormal obesity and lean individuals. Both groups will have: - screening visit - imaging (body composition testing - dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and magnetic resonance spectroscopy [MRS] scans) - Overnight visit with intravenous infusion (IV), muscle, and fat tissue biopsies Participants with obesity will complete meetings with study team members for a weight loss intervention to achieve a 10% body weight loss.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by pancreatic beta cells destruction, resulting in insulin secretion deficit (1). Insulin therapy is essential in the therapeutical management of subjects with T1DM (1). The Diabetes Complications and Control Trial (DCCT) has showed that intensive insulin treatment was associated with a reduction in the onset of complications related to diabetes. In recent years, treatment of T1DM evolved rapidly because of the significant improvements in the use of technology (2). With the spread of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, standardized metrics, summarizing time spent within optimal glucose range (time in range - TIR), time below target glucose range (TBR) and time above target glucose range (TAR), have become commonly used metrics in clinical practice (3,4). Furthermore, glucose management indicator (GMI) estimates glycated haemoglobin from the average glucose level of CGM readings for 14 days and coefficient of variation (CV) evaluates the amplitude of glucose excursions. Advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) systems combine insulin pump infusion and real time CGM (rtCGM) data through an algorithm: they suspend insulin infusion if hypoglycaemia is expected and can administer automatic corrective boluses in case of hyperglycaemia (6). Different algorithms, as Model Predictive Control (MPC) or Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), are used by different systems available on the market and are currently used in clinical practice. Overall, AHCL are associated with improvement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and TIR opening to the possibility to gain even tighter glycemic control. The primary objective is therefore to evaluate the glycemic improvement expressed through adjunctive CGM metrics in subjects with T1DM 24 months after starting AHCL therapy
This is a Phase 3 trial of cadisegliatin in participants with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Perioperative dysglycemia-hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability-is associated with an increased risk for adverse outcomes. Several studies have reported the association between elevated preoperative HbA1c and postoperative complications. There are no studies that confirm that postponing elective surgery improves patient outcomes. Likewise, no prospective trials have studied whether short-term glycemic control reduces postoperative complications and unnecessary patient delays in elective surgeries. Consequently, we designed a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of short-term glycemic control before major abdominal surgery on postoperative morbidity and mortality.
