Filter by:This pilot study will intend to assess the feasibility and acceptability of MyPreOp (online pre-operative assessment tool). The study will aim to assess the quality of the MyPreOp assessment in comparison to standard practice of a nurse led face to face assessment. The investigators will also assess the acceptability of MyPreOp amongst patient participants and staff participants.
This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK1070806 in subjects undergoing renal transplantation. GSK1070806 is an anti-interleukin 18 (IL18) monoclonal antibody, which binds to IL-18 and inhibits signaling through the IL-18 receptor. Recipients of donor kidneys, retrieved after circulatory death of the donor, will be administered a single intravenous infusion of GSK1070806 to test whether inhibition of IL-18 can reduce the rate of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) and graft rejection. Subjects will be followed for 12 months post dose/transplant. Up to 40 adult subjects will be enrolled in this study.
The primary objective of this Non Interventional Study is to measure changes in physical functioning, a surrogate for physical activity and exercise capacity, in COPD patients on treatment with Spiolto® Respimat® in routine daily treatment after approximately 6 weeks. A secondary objective is to evaluate the patient's general condition (physician's evaluation) from Visit 1 (baseline visit at the start of the study) to Visit 2 (final visit at the end of the study, approx. 6 weeks after Visit 1), as well as patient satisfaction with Spiolto® Respimat® at Visit 2.
The primary objective will be to assess overall response rate of nivolumab in patients with metastatic or locally advanced adrenocortical carcinoma. Nivolumab was recently approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. It is considered investigational for the treatment of advanced or refractory adrenocortical carcinoma. "Investigational" means that the drug is not approved by the USFDA or not approved for the indication under investigation. Nivolumab could shrink adrenocortical carcinoma but it could also cause side effects. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will shrink the cancer and hopefully to relieve symptoms that are related to the cancer.
Open-label extension study to evaluate the safety of long-term twice-monthly administration of somavaratan in adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the combination of parsaclisib and ruxolitinib in subjects with myelofibrosis.
The current study proposes adding BMP-2 (INFUSE), an anabolic agent, at the surgical site of TPA (tibial pseudarthrosis) repair in children with NF1, compared to a control group of patients treated surgically without BMP-2. The following Specific Aims will be addressed: 1) to determine if use of an osteogenic agent (BMP-2) at the time of surgical repair of TPA in NF1 patients will result in improved bone healing; 2) to document safety of BMP-2 in a pediatric NF1 population; and 3) to collect, process, and preserve biologic specimens at the time of surgery for future studies.
International, multicenter, observational, longitudinal monitoring study to identify biomarker/s for Alport syndrome and to explore the clinical robustness, specificity, and long-term variability of these biomarker/s
Obesity is worldwide a public health problem. According to World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obesity are the fifth death risk factor worldwide. At least 2.8 million adults die each year. Food addiction is one of the causes of obesity that may benefit from new therapeutic options.
Adult patients with histologically proven melanoma who will be treated with pembrolizumab will undergo FDG PET/CT scan as an early evaluation of response to therapy. Changes in FDG uptake will be correlated with lab and pathology results.
