Filter by:This is a pilot study to determine safety, efficacy, and potential risks of robot assisted nipple sparing mastectomy (RNSM), by utilizing the daVinci surgical system.
This phase I trial investigates the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with FOLFIRI in treating patients with stomach or intestinal cancer that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, (called FOLFIRI in short) work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving BAY 1895344 in combination with FOLFIRI may help shrink advanced or metastatic stomach and/or intestinal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ME-401 in the treatment of Japanese participants with Relapsed or Refractory indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy may shrink the tumor in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Persistent physical symptoms (PPS) might diminish studying or workability and daily functioning without a clear medical or environment-related explanation. Psychosocial, patient-involving treatments that support individuals' abilities managing with the PPS and health behaviours have shown promising effects in treating PPS but the acceptability of these treatments among symptomatic individuals is low. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an eHealth intervention based on relational frame theory and acceptance and commitment therapy on PPS with two focus groups, among participants with indoor air associated disabling symptoms or persistent, chronic fatigue. This study will compare web program enhanced with video-based individual case formulation with treatment as usual. The web program includes 10 one weeks (pilot included 6 two weeks) modules. In addition to patient-reported outcomes, ecological momentary assessments are conducted to provide real-time data on functioning and national registers are used to obtain information on health-care use and social benefits. Data collection begins in August 2020 and will continue until 2023.
Introduction: To evaluate the maternal blood serum matrix metalloproteinase 14, neopterin, and orosomucoid 1 levels in pregnant women complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and to compare the results with healthy pregnancies. In addition, to determine whether maternal/umbilical cord blood concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 14, neopterin, and orosomucoid 1 are of value in the diagnosis of histological chorioamnionitis in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Methods: This cohort study will be included 44 pregnant women with PPROM and 44 gestational age-matched healthy subjects in 24-32 weeks of pregnancy. The blood for analysis will be firstly obtained in maternal blood on the day of diagnosis at the study group. Healthy subjects who have a normal pregnancy and outcomes without any fetal-neonatal complications will be accepted into the control group. Forty-four gestational age-matched healthy pregnant women who will be delivered at term will be included in the study as the control group. In the control group, the pregnant women will be taken the maternal blood at the admission day. The women in both groups will be observed until the delivery and perinatal data will be noted. Then, the blood for analysis will be secondly obtained in maternal blood during termination of the pregnancy (or spontaneous labor) at the study group. Lastly, the blood for analysis will be also obtained in umbilical cord blood at the study group. These three markers levels will be measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The placenta will be sent to histological examination in the study group. These three markers levels in women with PPROM will be compared to those of volunteer healthy pregnant women. In the study group, these three markers levels at maternal serum and cord serum will be evaluated for histological chorioamnionitis and maternal/neonatal outcomes.
Evaluate the Effect of Ripretinib on the Pharmacokinetics of a CYP2C8 Substrate
This phase II trial investigates how well adding hydroxychloroquine to the standard treatment of dabrafenib and trametinib works to overcome resistance and delay disease progression in treating patients with stage IIIC or IV BRAF V600E/K melanoma. Hydroxychloroquine may cause cell death in tumor cells that rely on a process called "autophagy" for survival. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving hydroxychloroquine together with dabrafenib and trametinib may work better than dabrafenib and trametinib alone to shrink and stabilize the cancer.
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had a huge impact on healthcare resources and staff in the UK. Understanding the key risk factors associated with infection amongst healthcare workers is essential for future pandemic response plans. Currently there are scarce data relating to the infection rates and associated factors amongst healthcare workers in the United Kingdom (UK). Studies of infection rates in healthcare workers have largely relied on the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to date and it appears that Healthcare workers are twice as likely to succumb to Coronavirus infection, when compared to the general population and those from Black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds appear to be particularly at risk. Currently there is no evidence that the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) antibodies provides seasonal or long term immunity to future infection. Therefore, this study aims to understand the current level of SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity and try to determine the likely risk to healthcare workers in the UK to COVID-19 infection. This study hopes to find out whether certain individual characteristics will have an impact on likelihood of infection susceptibility and antibody response and determine the impact of the presence of antibodies on the likelihood of future clinical infection over a 12 month period. The study involves an initial online survey and linkage to the recent antibody test, then a further online survey in 6 and 12 months' time. The data obtained will be linked to data that the Human Resources Department (HR) holds. Participants also have the option to partake in another antibody test at 6 and 12 months' time and linked to the data collected.
