Filter by:The primary aim of the present study is to investigate whether the optimisation of LVSV in addition to the optimisation of AV-D and VV-D when using the device-based sensor technology mentioned above results in an improved clinical outcome of CRT. Moreover, noninvasive measurements are intended to evaluate hemodynamic differences between the different stimulation configurations using the Finapres® method.
This is an open-label phase II study of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMD). Approximately 18 subjects in this study will receive pembrolizumab at a dose of 200mg intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 doses.
This randomized phase II clinical trial studies how well photodynamic therapy with HPPH works compared to standard of care surgery in treating patients with oral cavity cancer. Photodynamic therapy can destroy or control disease by using a combination of drug, such as HPPH, and light and may be as effective as surgery in treating patients with oral cavity cancer.
Hemodynamic measurements obtained during pulmonary artery catheterization are essential for the diagnosis and classification of pulmonary hypertension. Traditionally, right heart catheterization (RHC) is done in the supine position. Cardiac output is known to change significantly based on position, due to the effects of gravity on venous return. There has not been a systematic investigation into these postural effects on pulmonary arterial pressures nor their effect on the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. It is our intent to study the differences in measurements obtained during RHC when the patient is supine, seated, and standing.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of naloxegol and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Naloxegol may relieve some of the side effects of opioid pain medication and fight off future growth in the cancer.
The investigators will conduct a single-blind, randomized controlled trial of 60 patients with subacute stroke. Patients will be randomly assigned into a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group will participate in immersion VR training for 3 weeks. The control group will receive for traditional rehabilitation training for 3 weeks. Then, the patients will be reevaluated to determine changes in upper extremity function, cognitive function, cortical and subcortical activation patterns, and performance of activities of daily living after the baseline assessment.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of a tablet formulation versus a capsule formulation of ASP8273 following a single dose under fasted condition in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a tablet formulation as a single dose and a capsule formulation as a single and multiple dose of ASP8273 in subjects with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations.
Infection with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) can lead to problems with brain function, such as memory, concentration, judgment, and the speed or control of hands and legs. Neurologists have called this condition HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). This research is being done to see if insulin taken through the nose as a spray (intranasal insulin) can help people with HIV who are having problems with memory and brain function, or HAND. Participants will be given either insulin or placebo. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the study drug, but does not contain study drug. For this research study, the placebo will be a clear, saline-based liquid spray that looks like the insulin spray but has no insulin. Participants will not be told whether they receive insulin or placebo during the study. All participants will take the intranasal spray twice a day, about 30 minutes after a meal. Participants will use a specialized intranasal drug administration device. The total daily dose of insulin is 40 IU split between 20 IU in the morning and 20 IU in the evening. Participants will take the intranasal spray for 24 weeks. The researchers will record symptoms and side effects during the study. Procedures include neurocognitive testing of memory and brain function, two optional lumbar punctures ("spinal taps"), two MRI brain scans, monthly blood draws, and clinical assessments.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or that does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
The aim of this study is to employ genomic detection methodologies to measure the relative amount of tumor-derived nucleic acids in the blood of patients diagnosed with an early stage solid tumor who are either commencing, currently undergoing or have completed treatment. This approach will allow the investigators to develop a quantitative measure of therapy efficacy via the counting of the relative changes in tumor molecules over the course of treatment.
