Filter by:Multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled feasibility trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of Dehydrated Human Amnion Chorion Membrane (dHACM) plus Control as compared to Control alone for the treatment of second degree burns (partial thickness burns) as assessed by time to healing and scarring
This was a randomized, SoC-controlled, open-label, multi-center study in patients with TAM after hematopoietic precursor cell transplantation (HPCT) . Study consisted of up to 28 days of screening period, 16 weeks treatment period that can be extended to 45 weeks.Approximately 40 patients was to be randomized to receive SoC or LFG316 plus SoC. Patients was included in the study if they have diagnosis of TAM and poor prognostic markers. This trial was terminated: LFG316, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of complement factor 5 (C5), had been studied in seven patients with transplantation-associated microangiopathy (TAM). Due to low confidence of clinical benefit, this study was closed
To investigate the efficacy of autologous Epstein-barr virus (EBV)-specific T cells for the treatment of EBV positive Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (PTLD) after failing first line treatment.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common procedure performed by cardiac surgeons. Post-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common adverse event following CABG, experienced in 20-50% of patients; the highest incidence of AF occurs by the third post-operative day. Reduction of AF by various drugs is moderately effective, but involves either rate control with beta blockers or rate conversion with amiodarone after the myocardial damage processes initiating AF have already occurred. Decreasing the incidence of post-operative AF, and hence the morbidity and mortality of high-risk CABG patients, could be more fruitfully approached by targeting the upstream combined processes of inflammation and coagulation activation induced by the surgical insult and associated ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). We propose that cell damage induced by oxidative stress and I/R injury could be prevented and/or inhibited by antioxidant supplementation. Specifically the investigators hypothesize that high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C supplementation will ameliorate ROS and therefore damp down upstream inflammatory processes, leading to a reduction of downstream adverse events with demonstrable links to inflammation processes, such as AF.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) works compared to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) in patients with liver cancer that remain after attempts to remove the cancer have been made (residual) or has come back (recurrent). TACE is a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment procedure that uses a catheter to deliver both chemotherapy medication and embolization materials into the blood vessels that lead to the tumors. SBRT or SABR may be able to send radiation directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal liver tissue. It is not yet known whether TACE is more effective than SBRT or SABR in treating patients with persistent or recurrent liver cancer who have undergone initial TACE.
The purpose of this study is to study interactions between genes, lifestyle environmental factors like foods, nutritional supplements and non-invasive medical devices and health factors that can be measured without specialized medical equipment in order to develop lifestyle recommendations tailored to individual genetics for a host of common chronic health conditions.
The Purpose of this study is to identify added value of Rotational thrombo-elastometry (ROTEM) intra-operative coagulation surveillance on reducing blood product use during major reconstructive spine surgery.
This trial will compare two strategies for patients with Heart Failure, Left Ventricular systolic dysfunction, and intermediate QRS durations. The control group is conventional CRT. The experimental group is LVendo CRT
Investigators will study approximately 64 patients with Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depressive Disorder, defined as a failure of at least 1 antidepressants in the current depressive episode and 2 lifetime medication failures. The study will last approximately 6 to 8 weeks, involving randomization into one of two treatment groups receiving 3 one hour long inhalation treatments over a week.
This phase I pilot trial studies the side effects of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)+ T cells in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tumor cells and blood are used to help create an adoptive T cell therapy, such as CD8+ T cell therapy, that is individually designed for a patient and may help doctors learn more about genetic changes in the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CD8+ T cell therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
