Filter by:This study explores how psychosocial factors (e.g., chronic stress, depression) may lead to liver disease progression such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer among Korean American chronic hepatitis B infection patients. Gathering health information over time from Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B infection may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
A 9-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the effect of fixed dose ferric citrate versus placebo in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≤20 ml/min/1.73m2) on the composite endpoint of time to initiation of maintenance dialysis or all-cause mortality.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the presence and magnitude of structural changes of the heart and their long-term development in young patients with atrial Fibrillation (AF), studied by echocardiographic measurements and plasma biomarkers and their association to AF burden, studied using long-term ECG
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that the ECCO2R pulsatile configuration prevents the Willebrand factor high molecular weight multimers decrease observed under continuous blood flow configurations. The secondary objectives are to quantify the CO2 extracorporeal removal in the pulsatile configuration, to describe complications (hemorrhagic, thrombotic and hemolytic), to describe patients' gas exchanges under ECCO2R, to describe the clinical course of the patients under ECCO2R as well as during the whole stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
HBV(hepatitis B virus) with metabolic comorbidities may accelerate liver disease progression and increase the risk of HCC(Hepatocellular Carcinoma)development. It is reported combination of metabolic diseases and CHB is associated with substantially increased rates of liver cirrhosis and secondary liver-related events compared to CHB alone. Consequently, hepatitis B patients with metabolic comorbidities warrant particular attention in disease surveillance and evaluation of treatment indications.
The overall survival of patients with metastatic breast cancer has steadily improved over the past decades, mainly due to advances in systemic treatment. Despite these advances, the development of brain metastases remains a serious and devastating complication that decreases quality of life and increases morbidity and mortality. The HER2CLIMB randomized study demonstrated that adding the investigational drug tucatinib to the standard treatment trastuzumab and capecitabine improved both progression-free survival and overall survival in people diagnosed with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer, previously treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and T-DM1. In patients with brain metastases, the 1-year progression-free survival was 25% in the tucatinib group and 0% in the placebo group. These results suggest that tucatinib may be a new standard treatment for HER2-positive metastatic disease. The aim of the non-randomized phase II study, InTTercePT, is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding tucatinib to trastuzumab and pertuzumab in the event of cerebral progression, after the end of local treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess how alternating-frequency Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) works to improve postural instability and gait, while also treating other motor symptoms of Parkinson Disease (PD).
The course of AMN-related disabilities over time is poorly or incompletely understood due to a limited number of patients and lack of treatments. This study will help obtain a better understanding of the progression of disease with AMN and facilitate efficient clinical development of future interventional medications.
The CATALINA study is a prospective cohort study embedded within CICERO (Collaboration In COPD ExaceRbatiOns, a European Respiratory Society supported Clinical Research Collaboration), designed to collect standardised, longitudinal clinical data and biological samples in 20 centres across Europe.
A registry-based randomized phase II trial. A total of 46 patients with metastatic head and neck cancer on systemic therapy with oligoprogression to 1-5 extracranial lesions will be randomized using a 1:1 ratio to standard of care (begin next-line systemic therapy, best supportive care, continue current systemic line, based on treating physician decision) vs. receive stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to all oligoprogressive lesions while continuing their current systemic therapy.
