The majority of early breast cancer patients are treated with adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) as part of their multimodal therapy. The aim of the RT is to lower the risk of local, regional and distant failure and improve survival. Modern RT is been provided with photon therapy. Now, more proton therapy facilities are opened, including in Denmark. Proton RT may have the potential to cause lower dose to heart and lung during breast RT. This trial will randomise patients between standard photon RT versus experimental proton RT. The primary endpoint is 10 year risk of heart disease.
The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.
This study was designed to assess potential relationship between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and 2- year mortality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Underlying inflammation has been increasingly recognized in heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF). But there is no study reported the relationship between NLRP3 inflammasome and HFpEF. In this study, investigators propose a scientific hypothesis that the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome is elevated in patients with HFpEF, and the level of TNFα, IL-1β and NLRP3 inflammasome is lower in patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan.
Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) are commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.
This is an open, standard therapy controlled clinical trial using a single intravenous infusion of HAM8101 (Adrecizumab) in patients hospitalized for AHF. This study will serve as a safety trial for HAM8101 (Adrecizumab) in AHF, using a dose escalating design. Acute Heart Failure (AHF), both as deterioration of chronic stable condition or "de novo" onset constitutes a major indication of particular interest and continues to be a major health problem, with millions of people being affected, still associated with high mortality and rehospitalization rates despite numerous attempts to improve the situation. It is believed that deteriorated vascular integrity and function, which manifests in various symptoms resulting from extravasation of fluid and solutes, is a key mechanism contributing to development and progression of the disease. Therefore, it is warranted to start a phase 2 safety and proof of concept study with a new investigational product (IMP) that enhances the plasma concentration of bio-ADM in the circulation to restore and stabilize the vascular integrity and function in patients with AHF after initial stabilization with the current standard of care (SoC).
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) have transformed prognosis of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease. However, in everyday clinical practice patients often receive suboptimal doses of RAASi. The development of hyperkalaemia is one of the reasons for dose reduction or complete withdrawal of RAASi and this in turn is likely to have an adverse impact on patient outcomes. Yet it remains unknown precisely how often hyperkalaemia leads to changes to RAASi doses, if it is the sole reason, or whether this occurs in combination with other clinical situations such as worsened renal function and hypotension. It is also unclear what influences the decision-making process of healthcare professionals in managing patients with hyperkalaemia who take RAASi and if this is influenced by specialty, experience or indications for RAASi. In order to improve our understanding of the problem we are taking forward a research study (made up of 3 complimentary studies). These data are needed to help achieve our ultimate goal of improving the care of patients with prognostic indication for RAASi.
The Yale HF Registry is a live EHR based registry that allows for retrospective and real-time monitoring of Heart Failure case across the Yale New Haven Health System.
This study is being done to evaluate the effects of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet on exercise tolerance in patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), also known as Diastolic Heart Failure (DHF).
