Filter by:The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a previously developed storytelling intervention on anticoagulation (AC) initiation/persistence in African American and Black patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter. The investigators hope to gain knowledge that may help treat atrial fibrillation or flutter and lower stroke and adverse cardiovascular event risks for African American and Black patients by increasing the use of blood thinning medications known as anticoagulants.
purpose of research： fundamental purpose: • To evaluate the effectiveness of pemitinib in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have failed standard therapy with fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-3 (FGFR1-3) variant (including but not limited to FGFR1-3 amplification, rearrangement / fusion, mutation, etc.). Secondary purpose: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pemitinib in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have previously failed standard therapy with the FGFR1-3 variant: including incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) and association with therapy. Incidence of treatment-related AEs / SAEs. - Exploring efficacy and safety in subjects with different FGFR variant types. The end of the study: Main end point: • The primary endpoint of the study was the 6-month PFS rate (progression-free survival, defined as first dose to disease progression [PD] or death). Secondary end point: • Objective response rate (defined as the proportion of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST1.1 criteria). Duration of response (DOR, defined as the time from first CR or PR to PD, is used only for subjects with an objective response). - Disease control rate (DCR, defined as the proportion of subjects with CR + PR + stable disease stable [SD]). - Overall survival (OS, defined as the time of first dose to death from any cause). - Safety and tolerability: Grade evaluation for assessing the severity of adverse events according to NCI CTCAE (version 5.0), including: 1. Incidence, severity, and association of all AEs, TRAEs, SAEs, and the study drug; 2. Number and proportion of subjects stopping treatment due to the above adverse events; 3. Study changes in vital signs, physical examination findings, and laboratory results before, during and after treatment. - To describe the efficacy and safety in subjects with different FGFR gene variant types.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous RC48-ADC in adjuvant/salvage treatment of HER2 positive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Development, validation of a novel symptom burden scale to assess and quantify the burden experienced by people living with Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (iMCD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral doses of FB418 in healthy adult subjects and healthy elderly subjects.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and bone tunnel enlargement (BTE) after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) remain frequent issues. Bone dust (BD) produced by tunnel preparation with osteogenic ability and reverse drilling (RD), an easy compaction technique, make it accessible to enhance tendon-bone healing in ACLR. We hyposize that RD and BD synergistically improve outcomes after arthroscopic ACLR by improving peritunnel bone and preventing BTE.
Malnutrition underlies 45% of child deaths, and has far-reaching educational, economic and health consequences. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects 17 million children globally and is the most life-threatening form of malnutrition. Community-based management of acute malnutrition using ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) has transformed outcomes for children with uncomplicated SAM, but those presenting with poor appetite or medical complications (categorised as having 'complicated' SAM) require hospitalisation. Data show that pneumonia, diarrhoea and malaria are leading causes of death in children with complicated SAM after discharge from hospital. High risk of infectious deaths suggests that sustained antimicrobial interventions may reduce mortality following discharge from hospital. Furthermore, children with complicated SAM respond less well to nutritional rehabilitation, and oftentimes are discharged to a home environment characterised by poverty and multiple caregiver vulnerabilities including depression, low decision making autonomy, lack of social support, gender-restricted family relations, and competing demands on scarce resources. Caregivers have to navigate diverse challenges that impede engagement with clinical care after discharge from hospital. The objective is to address the biological and social determinants of multimorbidity in children with complicated SAM by developing multimodal packages of interventions and testing them in a 5-arm adaptive randomized controlled clinical trial, with death/hospitalization or failed nutritional recovery as the primary outcome.
Long-standing hypertension may cause an impairment in microvascular coronary circulation which is involved in many different cardiac conditions. Renal denervation (RDN) has been successfully proven as a valuable and powerful therapeutic choice to consider for patients with resistant hypertension; moreover this procedure looks promising in other cardiac disease such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation, given its ability to downregulate sympathetic nervous system The aim of this study is to explore the effect of renal denervation and blood pressure control on coronary microvascular dysfunction. This is a multicenter, prospective, non randomized, open-label, interventional study. Consecutive patients with resistant hypertension, non obstructive coronary artery disease and documented microvascular dysfunction will be enrolled. Patients will undergo renal denervation by Spyral Symplicity 3 and re-assessment of coronary microvascular function 12 months after the procedure. Primary endpoint will be the difference in average index of microcirculatory resistance value.
This is a single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor combined with cetuximab in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HNSCC.
Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the biggest cause of death and disability in the world. Patients with ABI often have difficulties with swallow and breath. The study purpose is to evaluate if the Expiratory Flow Accelerator (EFA) technology has positive effects on the respiratory and swallowing function in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). Researchers recruit patients at Centro Ettore Spalenza-Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi in Rovato, Italy. To partecipate, patients should satisfy certain eligibility criteria; they will not be enrolled if they satisfy exclusion criteria. If a patient can be recruited, researchers conduct the baseline assessment lasting 1 one week. After that, the patient will be randomized to the study or control group. If the patient is in the control group, he will receive a traditional rehabilitation treatment. Otherwise, the patient will receive an additional treatment with the EFA device. Researchers will assess again the patient (with the same procedures of baseline assessment) after 8 weeks of treatment. They want to see if the EFA device could help patients with ABI to improve their health conditions.
