Filter by:This study aims to better understand electrolyte handling in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease treated with the SGLT2 inhibitor Empagliflozin. Patients will be randomized into two groups and take Empagliflozin or a Placebo for 2 weeks with a wash-out period of 2 weeks. The primary outcome is tubular handling of the divalent ions calcium, phosphate and magnesium. Secondary outcomes include diuresis, safety and tolerability.
The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of RLYB212 in HPA-1b/b pregnant women at higher risk for HPA-1a alloimmunization and FNAIT.
This research project aims to test if systematic (extensive) use of patient-reported outcomes across treatment boundaries can 1. improve patients' and health professionals' understanding of individual patients' conditions and health changes, 2. improve indications for treatment, 3. strengthen patient empowerment, and 4. reduce patients' utilization of health services. The study will be performed in the particular context of patients with chronic degenerative conditions of the shoulder. These patients are characterized by contact with numerous health professionals from different health sectors, such as general practitioner, physiotherapists and surgical referral centres, which challenges coherence and communication for the individual treatment decisions. The research project will be performed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 1-year inclusion period and two years of follow-up.
The efficacy and safety of zanidatamab in combination with physician's choice of chemotherapy compared with trastuzumab in combination with physician's choice of chemotherapy will be evaluated for the treatment of participants with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have progressed on, or are intolerant to, previous T-DXd treatment.
In a previous clinical trial in China and the United States (US), the investigators developed and validated a mobile, high-resolution microendoscope (mHRME) for screening and surveillance of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN). The trial revealed higher specificity for qualitative (visual) interpretation by experts but not the novice and in the surveillance arm (100% vs. 19%, p <0.05). In the screening arm, diagnostic yield (neoplastic biopsies/total biopsies) increased 3.6 times (8 to 29%); 16% of patients were correctly spared any biopsy, and 18% had a change in clinical plan. In a pilot study in Brazil, the investigators tested a software-assisted mHRME with deep-learning software algorithms to aid in the detection of neoplastic images and determine the performance, efficiency, and impact of the AI-mHRME when to Lugol's chromoendoscopy (LCE) alone and when using AI-mHRME with LCE. In this clinical trial, the investigators will build on the Brazil pilot trial data to optimize an artificial intelligence (AI) mHRME and evaluate its clinical impact and implementation potential in ethnically and socioeconomically diverse populations in the US and Brazil.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of B013 in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.
A trial to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of SHR-A1921 in combination with adbelizumab and SHR-8068 with or without carboplatin in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This phase II trial tests how well tamoxifen and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and is unable to be operated on (inoperable). Tamoxifen works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the breast. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Liposomal doxorubicin is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained inside very tiny, fat-like particles. Liposomal doxorubicin may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of the drug. Giving tamoxifen and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin together may work better in treating patients with metastatic or inoperable, locally advanced triple negative breast cancer than giving either of these drugs alone.
This pilot study will test the feasibility of a novel digital health technology-enabled platform, HekaHeart, developed to facilitate comprehensive medical management, including medication initiation, titration, e-prescription eligibility, remote patient monitoring, and communication of care coordination activities, for patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) not currently on all four pillars of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).
Congenital heart disease is one of the most common congenital defects with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Children with congenital heart disease step from pediatric care to adult care during adolescence. This situation has brought up transitional care, which is defined as "the purposeful and planned movement of adolescents and young adults with chronic physical and medical conditions from pediatric to adult-oriented health systems". Since adolescents with congenital heart disease are at high risk for complications in adulthood, it is very important to raise awareness, increase the level of readiness for adult care and gain self-management skills during the transition phase. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of the developmental transition care model applied to adolescents with congenital heart disease during the transition from pediatric care to adult care on the transition readiness level, self-management skills and care satisfaction of adolescents. Studies have shown that both adolescents with congenital heart disease and their caregivers need professional support, appropriate transition education and care before transition to adult care in order to increase adaptation to adult care, to gain self-management skills and to reduce their concerns. Studies in which adolescents are followed up after transition to adult care show that when the transition process is not successfully completed, there is excessive time between the last pediatric control and the first adult control or there are losses in further follow-up. Although there are studies in our country in which transition care is applied, this study is planned because there is no intervention study in which developmental transition care model is applied to adolescents with congenital heart disease. It is thought that this study will increase the transition readiness levels, self-management skills and care satisfaction of adolescents with congenital heart disease and guide the nurses working with them.
