Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of brigatinib and binimetinib in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer and a type of gene mutation called a rearrangement in the ALK or ROS1 genes. Brigatinib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial studies how well axitinib and avelumab work in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving axitinib and avelumab together may help to control adenoid cystic carcinoma.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) vs. docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and progressive disease (PD) after platinum doublet chemotherapy and treatment with one prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The primary hypotheses of this study are that pembrolizumab + lenvatinib (compared with docetaxel) prolongs: 1) overall survival (OS); and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) based on blinded independent central review (BICR).
We wish to better understand the role of the choriocapillaris (CC) in the formation and progression of non-exudative in age related macular degeneration (armd) by imaging the retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) and the choroidal microvasculature and by studying their inter-dependence to determine if the loss of the CC could prove useful as an anatomic clinical trial endpoint in future drug trials.
Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) is a chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD) with some laboratoristic and/or clinical features of autoimmune disease, but without meeting criteria of connective tissue disease (CTD), and with no other causes of ILD. Despite recent efforts to standardize the diagnosis of IPAF, subjects with IPAF represent a very heterogenous group of patients, whose prognosis and clinical course are far from being clear. It also remains to be clarified what proportion of IPAF patients develop clear features of CTD over time. The aim of this observational trial is to define the clinical course of patients newly diagnosed with IPAF by prospectively following them for a period of 3 years, at 6-month intervals. The primary outcome will be 3-year lung transplant-free survival. The secondary outcome will be the proportion of patients who develop clinical and laboratoristic features clearly meeting criteria for a diagnosis of CTD at 3 years from the time of diagnosis of IPAF. Predictors of survival will also be studied.
Investigators are going to conduct a randomized controlled trial that myopic children are randomly allocated into two groups: combined use of 1% atropine and 0.01% atropine (experimental group) and 0.01% atropine (control group) in order to explore a better way to control myopia progression and eliminate adverse effects at the same time, provide reliably evidence for clinical guideline of atropine use in children, and investigate the mechanism of atropine on eyes.
Higher consumption of fruits and vegetables promote greater availability of phenolic compounds and these compounds were associated with vascular health. Quercetin, a phenolic compound, is the most abundant natural antioxidant belonging to the group of flavonoids. Quercetin improved lipoprotein metabolism, had antioxidant capacity, produced vasodilating substances in the vascular endothelium and reduced platelet aggregability. Likewise, statins are medications known to reduce cardiovascular events in women with coronary disease by reducing serum LDL-cholesterol. Therefore, a number of metabolic pathways are responsible for vascular health. The serum concentration and gene expression of sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and RAGE soluble (sRAGE) are directly associated with vascular protection. This study will analyse the influence of atorvastatin and quercetin on serum concentrations and gene expression of Sirt1 and sRAGE in postmenopausal women with stable coronary artery disease.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a prototype of chronic, progressive, and fibrotic lung disease. It has been considered rare, with an incidence estimated to 11.5 cases per 100 000 individuals per year. Increasing rates of hospital admissions and deaths due to IPF suggest an increasing burden of disease. The median survival time from diagnosis is 2-4 years. Recently two disease-modifying therapies, pirfenidone and nintedanib, have been approved worldwide. Both drugs reduce the disease progression as measured by progressive decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), with a reduction of overall mortality showed by meta-analysis of phase III pirfenidone trials. However, progression of disease continues to occur despite the currently available drug therapy. Many patients die from progressive, chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure, or less frequently from acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis. In these patients, no data are available to guide management between continuation of the prescribed antifibrotic drug, to switch to the other available antifibrotic drug, or to combine the available drugs. The combination of nintedanib and pirfenidone is not recommended outside clinical trials. However, although both antifibrotic drugs were developed and approved as monotherapy, two recent trials have suggested the feasibility and safety of combining them over a 12-24 weeks period. These results encourage further studies of combination treatment with pirfenidone and nintedanib in patients with IPF. Such study is timely, as there is a risk that clinicians facing the continued worsening of disease in patients receiving one of the available drugs may prescribe both drugs combined outside clinical trials, potentially exposing patients to a currently unknown risk. This study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of the combination pirfenidone and nintedanib as compared to a "switch monotherapy": i.e. switching from the current to the other of the two existing drugs prescribed as monotherapy, in patients who present chronic worsening IPF despite receiving either pirfenidone or nintedanib and as to a "control group": i.e.treatment still be on as before randomization (pirfenidone or nintedanib).
This is a phase 1/2 study of the combination of CPI-613 and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of high risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients who have failed a hypomethylating agent.
A total of 100 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes with or without diabetes mellitus will be included. All patients will undergo coronary angiography with identification of the infarct-related vessel and percutaneous revascularization with implantation of a stent/scaffold. After revascularization patients will undergo a combined positron emission tomography (PET)-coronary computed tomography (CT) protocol to quantify atherosclerotic burden (i.e. plaque volume) and activity (i.e. 18 fluorum-sodium-fluoride [18FNaF] uptake) in non-infarct related vessels, to assess calcium score (aim 1), and to quantify the acute results of PCI in the infarct-related vessel (aim 2). At 12-month follow-up, all patients will repeat longitudinal 18FNaF PET-coronary CT evaluation to characterize progression of atherosclerosis in the non-infarct related vessels (aim 1) and to quantify neointimal suppression at the site of the treated coronary segment in the infarct-related vessel (aim 2). Blood samples will be collected at baseline and 12 months for all patients. The aims of the study are: 1. To evaluate coronary artery disease progression in acute coronary syndromes patients with and without diabetes mellitus, and to investigate the predictive value of metabolic profiles, patterns of circulating miRNAs and inflammatory mediators on coronary artery disease progression; 2. To evaluate the progression of disease within the infarct-related vessel treated with the use of bioresorbable stent/bioresorbable polymer stents in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with acute coronary syndromes.
