Filter by:In a prospective observational cohort study (n = 100), the investigators aim to assess the correlation between cardiac biomarkers, advanced echocardiography and cystic fibrosis genotype and severity and determine whether these are prognostic markers of heart disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF).
This study will enroll participants with nonresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an Isocitrate dehydrogenase protein, 1 (IDH1) mutation, who have previously received at least 1, but no more than 2, prior regimens for advanced disease. All participants will receive ivosidenib daily throughout multiple 28 day cycles. Study treatment will be administered until participant experiences unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or other discontinuation criteria are met. Study visits will be conducted every week during Cycle 1 (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22), every other week during Cycles 2 and 3, and Day 1 of each cycle thereafter. After the last dose of treatment, participants will attend an end of treatment and a post-treatment follow-up visit, and participants will be followed to assess overall survival. Study visits may include a tumor assessment, physical exam, electrocardiogram (ECG), blood and urine analysis, and questionnaires.
This study will have two Phases: Phase 1a and Phase 1b. The goal of Phase 1a of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety, tolerability and dosing of study drug KITE-197, in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (r/rLBCL). The goal of Phase 1b of this clinical study is learn about the effectiveness of the recommended dose of KITE-197 in participants with r/r LBCL. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 1a: To evaluate the safety of KITE-197 in participants with r/r LBCL and determine the target dose level for Phase 1b. Phase 1b: To evaluate the efficacy of KITE-197 in participants with r/r LBCL as measured by the complete remission (CR) rate.
This clinical trial is studying the newly licensed RSV vaccines in adults over age 60 years living in long-term care facilities (nursing homes) by comparing the immune response to their vaccine to adults over age 60 years living in the community.
Malaria remains a public health concern, despite efforts that are invested in the disease control. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the most affected countries in Sub Saharan Africa. Artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACTs) are recommended for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria. However, reported cases of mutations that confer to Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin (the main component of ACTs) constitute a threat to malaria control, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa. Therefore, the recommendation of the World Health Organization to conduct regularly test efficacy studies in endemic countries is paramount. The purpose of this trial is to assess efficacy and safety of artesunate-amodiaquine (ASAQ Winthrop®) and artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem Dispersible®) at day 28 for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in eight surveillance sites around DRC.
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? 2. What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?
This is an open,single-arm,multicenter phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BEBT-908 for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The study will be divided into two stages: phase Ⅱa and phase Ⅱb. Phase Ⅱa is an exploratory study, which mainly explores the safe and effective dose and the relationship between gene and protein markers and drug sensitivity. The main purpose of the phase Ⅱb study was to evaluate the Objective response rate of BEBT-908 for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and the secondary study was to evaluate the disease control rate, progression-free survival, time to response, duration of response, overall survival and safety tolerance of BEBT-908 for injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The relationship between the biomarkers of BEBT-908 for injection and the efficacy and safety was evaluated.
To study the effect of relocation from 2840m (Quito) to sea level (Pedernales) in patients with pulmonary vascular diseases (PVD) defined as pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH) who permanently live >2500m on sleep disordered breathing
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the first-line treatment for symptomatic gallstones. Pneumoperitoneum is the process of expanding the abdominal cavity during the surgical procedure by introducing CO2 gas into the abdomen to widen the field of view and operation. Although CO2 gas is usually released through the subumbilical incision at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, some CO2 gas remains in the peritoneal cavity. This CO2 gas remaining in the peritoneal cavity can cause abdominal distension. Abdominal distension may also increase postoperative pain. In a study, abdominal distension was observed in 42.7% of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Although CO2 gas is usually released through the subumbilical incision at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, some CO2 gas remains in the peritoneal cavity. This CO2 gas remaining in the peritoneal cavity may cause abdominal distension. On the other hand the incidence of shoulder pain due to pneumoperitoneum and CO2 insufflation after laparoscopic surgery ranges from 35% to 60%. In a study conducted in the Republic of Korea in 2016 in 105 laparoscopic surgery patients, the incidence of shoulder pain after laparoscopy was found to be 80% in the first 24 hours. Inappropriate treatment of postoperative pain in laparoscopic surgery can lead to delayed mobilization, patient dissatisfaction, delayed hospital discharge, and development of chronic pain. In this study, the effect of respiratory exercises and the use of incentive spirometry in the early postoperative period on abdominal distension, shoulder pain and mobilization process in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients will be examined. We aimed to evaluate the effect of deep breathing exercises and the use of incentive spirometry in the early postoperative period on abdominal distension and shoulder pain due to insufflation procedure in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. It is important to take some precautions from the early period to prevent problems that may develop after abdominal surgery. It is thought that the use of deep breathing exercises and incentive spirometry in the early period after laparoscopic cholecystectomy will have an effect on abdominal distension, shoulder pain and mobilization process due to the insufflation procedure.
This clinical trial utilizes the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model to recruit, train, and support community healthcare providers in cancer survivorship best practices. Cancer survivors have distinct medical needs and are more likely to report being in poor or fair overall health compared to those who do not report a history of cancer. There is a lack of educational opportunities focused on survivorship care for health providers. Although progress has been made with the development of survivorship guidelines, physicians continue to express barriers to addressing concerns of cancer survivors. This study is to utilize a Survivorship ECHO education intervention to assess its effects on provider knowledge and comfort with survivorship guidelines as well as greater adherence to guideline concordant breast cancer survivorship care recommendations.
