Filter by:This randomized phase I trial studies how well olfactory training works in improving sense of smell after radiation therapy in patients with paranasal sinus or nasopharyngeal cancer. Olfactory training may improve smell function after radiation therapy in patients with paranasal sinus or nasopharyngeal cancer.
Immediate potent inhibition of platelet function is critical for the prevention of periprocedural ischemic event occurrences in high risk N-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and an oral P2Y12 receptor blocker (with loading doses) is widely used for PCI. However, immediate, potent and reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation is not possible even with the newer oral agents, prasugrel and ticagrelor. Therefore, an intravenously administered GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (tirofiban) or P2Y12 receptor blocker (cangrelor) with fast onset and offset of actions will provide more desired antiplatelet effects in the setting of PCI. This study will measure and compare the anti-platelet effects of Tirofiban and Cangrelor in patients presenting with N-STEMI and undergoing PCI.
LEADERS-FREE trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of polymer-free drug-coated stent (Biofreedom, Biosensors International Technologies, Singapore) in patients with high bleeding risk. But, there are limited clinical evidences for extending these findings to generalized patients who are eligible to PCI. Therefore, the purpose of this registry is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Biofreedom stent in patients with coronary artery disease.
This study investigates the propagation of sound from a source in the chest to the chest wall. The methodology of the study will be to place a sound source at a known location in the chest and measure the acoustic response on the posterior chest wall with an acoustic sensor array. The sound source will be created by playing sound down the working channel of a bronchoscope and located anatomically using direct imaging. Subjects will be selected for the study by asking patients undergoing a bronchoscopy procedure whether they would be willing to take part in the experiment in addition to their standard procedure. Procedures will take place in the Bronchoscopy Unit at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge. The Unit runs regional speciality clinics in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, lung cancer, bronchomalacia and interstitial lung disease and has a nationally significant interventional bronchoscopy service. A subsidiary part of the study (Part A) will collect sound recordings from healthy volunteers and patients with common respiratory diseases using the same acoustic sensor array. This is to create a database of lung sounds and quantify inter-subject variability. The study will last approximately 30 months.
This was an open-label study to evaluate the safety of continued therapy with oral treprostinil in subjects who completed Study TDE-HF-301. This study provided long-term, open-label data regarding the effect of continued long-term oral treprostinil therapy for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Subject visits occurred at Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, 24, and every 12 weeks thereafter until either oral treprostinil was commercially available to treat PH associated with HFpEF or the study was discontinued by the Sponsor. The Sponsor terminated Studies TDE-HF-301 and TDE-HF-302 on 14 October 2019 due to slow enrollment. Safety data from the final subject in Study TDE-HF-302 were recorded on 02 March 2020. Due to the lower than expected number of subjects enrolled, the planned secondary efficacy-related endpoints were not analyzed.
This study evaluates differences in the extent of myocardial necrosis noted by cardiac MRI in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction randomized to receive cangrelor during their percutaneous coronary intervention and compares them to patients randomized to not receive cangrelor.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRINOX in patients with gastroenteropancreatic high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas. This is a prospective Phase II open-label trial, stratifying gastroenteropancreatic high grade neuroendocrine carcinomas participants equally into two cohorts (first-line versus beyond first-line).
Investigators will compare antibiotic impregnated Calcium sulfate versus PMMA versus nothing in these sub-segmental bone defects.
The investigators will compare the three methods of seating a tibial nail - Backslapping or Backslapping with Dynamic Locking or Internal Compression.
This was an open-label, multicenter, prospective trial to assess safety and efficacy of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.
