Filter by:This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and the impact on the quality of life of Huaier Granules combined with targeted drugs and anti-PD-(L)1 antibody compared with targeted drugs combined with anti-PD-(L)1 antibody in first line treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
HEM-iSMART is a master protocol which investigates multiple investigational medicinal products in children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) ALL and LBL. Sub-protocol D is a phase I/II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of trametinib in combination with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide and cytarabine in children and AYA with R/R ped ALL/LBL whose tumor present with alterations in the RAS-RAF-MAPK pathway.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of probiotics during vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy on the gut microbiota in Helicobacter pylori eradication and to investigate whether the eradication rate of H.pylori will be improved when adding probiotics
The goal of this observational study is to find prognostic factors in patients with a new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The main question it aims to answer is: Are there any factors influencing heart failure or death risk during the year following TAVI in patients with NOP-LBBB ? Participants will have data collection about TAVI procedure and clinical evolution during a one-year follow-up.
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who use hemodialysis to filter their blood require vascular access for the dialysis machine; the most common type of vascular access is called an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The AVF is a direct connect between an artery and vein. Until recently, AVFs were only created through surgery that requires general anesthesia and opening up the skin. Now there are 2 FDA-approved devices designed to create AVFs using endovascular techniques (endoAVF), which means a device that goes through the skin instead of opening the skin up. Also patients are not required to be under general anesthesia, they can receive local anesthesia instead. Due to the relatively new approval of these devices, there is not a randomized study to compare the results of endoAVF versus surgAVF. This study is a pilot study for an eventually larger scale study to compare the results of endoAVF versus surgAVF. The study aims to determine what the proportion of patients seeking hemodialysis access could qualify for receiving either an endoAVF , surgAVF, or both. Patients who are screened for hemodialysis access must undergo a duplex ultrasound of the blood vessels in the arm to confirm correct sizing. If participants qualify for both procedures they will be randomized to either endoAVF or surgAVF and will track the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of each procedure. Our pilot study hopes to enroll 90 participants. Those outcomes will inform a larger scale study. If the potential participant chooses to abstain from participation in the randomized trial, preferring to decide the method of AVF creation, we will offer to them a chance to join an endoAVF/surgAVF registry that will track the clinical outcomes of the procedure via medical record monitoring.
The Objectives of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tumor treating fields combined with gemcitabine and albumin bound paclitaxel in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
This study will evaluate the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of MHB088C in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This is a randomized and blind clinical trial, whose objective is to evaluate the effects of transcranial stimulation by direct current associated with exercises based on the pilates method on the performance of patients with chronic low back pain.
Adjuvant hormone treatments for early breast cancer are associated with frequent bothersome side effects with major negative impact on patients' quality of life and treatment adherence. Patients most commonly report menopausal symptoms including vaginal dryness, vaginal bleeding, and dyspareunia. Even though previous studies have reported that estrogen topical agent relives these symptoms, non-hormonal therapy should be considered first due to concerns about the role of estrogen in breast cancer development. Therefore, this trial is planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LacuD (hyaluronic acid, lactic acid and alginate) in the vaginal environment of breast cancer patients receiving hormone therapy.
The management of patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in contemporary interventional cardiology practice remains matter of intense debate. Particularly, the combination of the optimal drug-eluting stent (DES) selection and antiplatelet regimen for patients who require LMCA PCI remains undetermined. Newest-generation thin-strut polymer-free drug-coated stents have the potential to further mitigate chronic inflammation and promote faster re-endothelialization. In the LEADERS FREE randomized trial, PCI with the early-generation BioFreedom (Biosensors International, Switzerland) thick-strut stainless-steel drug-coated stent group was associated with significantly lower rates of the primary safety endpoint, defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis at 12 months compared to bare-metal stents among 2,466 patients at high-risk of bleeding who received one-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), a difference driven by a significantly lower risk for clinically driven target-lesion revascularization. In the ONE-MONTH DAPT randomized study, which enrolled 3,020 patients with coronary artery disease considered for PCI for noncomplex lesions, the rates of the primary composite endpoint of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stroke, or major bleeding within 12 months occurred similarly in patients treated with 1-month DAPT after PCI with early-generation thick-strut stainless-steel polymer-free drug-coated stent (BioFreedom, Biosensors International, Switzerland) and those treated with 6- to 12-month DAPT after newer-generation biodegradable polymer DES (Biomatrix, Biosensors International, Switzerland or Ultimaster, Terumo Corp., Japan) implantation. However, no dedicated randomized clinical trial to date has evaluated the safety and efficacy of newest-generation thinner-strut cobalt-chromium polymer-free drug-coated stents combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor-based SAPT strategy among patients undergoing highly complex PCI procedures, such as those treated for LMCA disease. Recent evidence from a large-scale meta-analysis of several randomized clinical trials including >32'000 patients indicated that 1-3 months of DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after second-generation DES implantation was associated with lower risk for major bleeding and similar risk for adverse ischemic outcomes compared with conventional DAPT. These findings suggest that P2Y12 inhibitor SAPT following a short DAPT course (1-3 months) may represent a valuable treatment option for patients undergoing PCI with newer-generation DES compared to standard conventional 12 months DAPT, but this strategy has never been investigated in dedicated randomized clinical trials focused on patients at highest-risk for ischaemic events, such as patients undergoing LMCA PCI. The ULTRA-LM randomized trial aims at filling this current gap of knowledge, which may have large impact on clinical practice and international guidelines. ULTRA-LM will be the first randomized clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of a novel thin-strut cobalt-chromium BioFreedom Ultra polymer-free drug-coated stent (Biosensors International, Switzerland) combined with P2Y12 inhibitor-based single antiplatelet therapy among patients undergoing PCI for LMCA disease.
