Filter by:The goal of this study is to develop a safe, effective, and readily available treatment that will prevent chronic pain following Major Thermal Burn Injury (MThBI). Burn survivors are prone to develop chronic pain and there is an urgent unmet need for preventative treatments. The preventative treatments proposed for this study, Omega-3 Fatty Acids (O3FA) and Vitamin D have been selected given effectiveness across a range of painful musculoskeletal disorders and their wide availability and low cost. This study is a 2x2 factorial, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial test for the effectiveness of O3FA and Vitamin D to prevent chronic pain development. Burn survivors will be enrolled who have experienced thermal burns that cover less than 30% total body surface area that are severe enough to warrant surgical management, which represents the most common burn injury characteristics. Patients will be enrolled within 72 hours of their burn, and randomized via 1:1:1:1 allocation to receive placebo, O3FA, Vitamin D or both. The investigators will obtain blood samples on enrollment and at 6 weeks to assist in elucidating key mechanisms by which O3FA and Vitamin D reduce chronic pain following MThBI. Chronic pain severity, assessed with a 0-10 numeric rating scale at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year will be entered into a repeated-measures model. Model estimated contrasts will serve as the primary outcome.
Flow disruption is a new endovascular approach for treatment of both ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, which involves placement of an endosaccular device (WEB) which modifies the blood flow at the level of the neck and induces intraaneurysmal thrombosis. The WEB was designed to treat wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. This observational study will collect data about the routine practice in one center of using the WEB in ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The primary objective is to evaluate its efficacy by assessing the anatomic outcome during follow-up.
Programmed death-1 receptor ligand (PD-L1) the ligand for PD-1 is a key therapeutic target in the reactivation of the immune response against multiple cancers. Pharmacologic inhibitors of PD-1 have also demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity and are currently under active clinical exploration. avelumab (MSB0010718C; anti-PD-L1 is a fully human anti-PD-L1 igG1 antibody that has shown promising efficacy and an acceptable safety profile in multiple tumor types. Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the mainstream treatments of cancer therapy along with surgery and chemotherapy, yet RT is the only treatment that does not leave the patients immunocompromised (unlike chemotherapy) and keeps the dying tumor / antigen depot within the host (unlike surgery), providing an opportunity for antigen presentation. Therefore, RT is a rational choice to combine with immunotherapy for cancer treatment.
This pilot study will establish the preliminary effect and safety of using Spraino® to prevent lateral ankle sprains amongst athletes competing in indoor sports at sub-elite level, with a one-year follow-up. All recruited participants will have a history of lateral ankle sprain in the preceding 24 months prior to the initiation of the trial. Half of the included participants will receive Spraino® to prevent lateral ankle sprains (intervention group). The other half will receive no intervention ("do-as-usual" control group). Both groups will be permitted to continue or initiate any usual care of their choice, except Spraino® in the control group. Short Message Services (SMS) will be used for registration of injury and exposure.
This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, multicenter study of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) in adult patients with solid tumors, that consists of 2 parts: dose search part of the study (Phase 1b and Phase 1b Enrichment Cohort) and the dose expansion part of the study (Phase 2). In Phase 1b of this study there will be 2 arms: Arm 1 and Arm 2. In Arm 1, there will be 6 to 12 patients who will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and nivolumab and in Arm 2 there will be 6 to 12 patients who will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and pembrolizumab. In addition, an enrichment cohort of a further 10 patients who have locally advanced or metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma or Urothelial Cancer with primary or acquired resistance to previous checkpoint inhibitors will be enrolled into Phase 1b of the study to help evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion at the safe dose level identified in the dose-search part of the study, and will be dosed with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and nivolumab, or DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion and pembrolizumab, as per the investigator's preference. At the safe, recommended dose determined in Phase 1b, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) patients will be enrolled in Phase 2 of the study with DSP-7888 Dosing Emulsion, exploring the combination with pembrolizumab (Arm 2). In Phase 2, approximately 40 patients with PROC will be initially enrolled; additional patients may be enrolled to further assess anti-tumor activities, but the total sample size will not exceed 60 patients. This brings the total maximum study population to approximately 84 patients.
Although Cystic Fibrosis is a complex genetic disease affecting many organs, lung disease is the primary cause of mortality. The objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of SNSP113 in healthy subjects and subjects with stable cystic fibrosis.
This is a Phase I, open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of MS201408-0005A as single agent (Part IA only) and in combination with MS201408-0005C or MS201408-0005B (Part IB, Part IC).
This study evaluates the neuromodulatory effect of combined tDCS and aphasia therapy in patients in the chronic phase after stroke. Half of the participants will receive aphasia therapy and tDCS, the other half will receive aphasia therapy and sham-tDCS.
Metastatic non small cell lung cancer can be treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or using recently approved immunotherapy with antibody, Nivolumab. Both the therapies have limitation due to development of tolerance or immunosuppression. This trial combines one drug from each category, immunotherapeutic Nivolumab and chemotherapeutic gemcitabine as it was reported that gemcitabine reduces immunosuppression by killing myeloid derived suppressor cells, thereby increasing the efficacy of Nivolumab.
This is a phase II, open-label trial to evaluate valganciclovir as a treatment to prevent development of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in infants with asymptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The trial will be conducted in two phases - screening of newborns to identify eligible subjects, and treatment of those newborns who have confirmed CMV infection at birth but without outward manifestations of congenital CMV infection. 229 newborns with confirmed CMV infection but without baseline SNHL and who meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the treatment phase. Study duration is 5 years. Primary objective of this study is to estimate the proportion of subjects with asymptomatic congenital CMV infection who, following treatment with 4 months of oral valganciclovir, develop SNHL by 6 months of life.
