Filter by:The goal of this study is to show pattern differences of vasoreactivity and connectivity between Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, by the use of methods of advanced brain MRIs and the Diffusion Tensor Imaging , and correlate these differences with Clinical disability and cognitive disorder results.
This clinical trial is being done to learn more about how different types of cancer treatments affect cancer cells when they spread to the brain. Many cancer treatments are not able to make their way into the brain or into spinal fluid of the central nervous system. This is because they cannot cross what is called the "blood-brain barrier" or "BBB". The BBB is like a protective shield that only allows certain materials pass through to reach the brain but not others. This study is being initiated to help researchers learn more about what types of cancer treatments make it through the BBB to attack cancer cells within the brain, and what treatments do not make it through the BBB. Learning more about this may help future researchers develop more effective cancer drugs that better fight cancer cells that have spread to the brain.
To show the superiority in safety of Smoflipid over Intralipid® as measured by the number of study patients in each treatment group with conjugated bilirubin exceeding 2 mg/dL during the first 28 days of study treatment, confirmed by a second sample collected 7 days after the first sample.
The aim of this post market study is to assess the impact of sleep-disordered breathing on the well-being of patients according to the treatment chosen, i.e. with or without implantation of the remedē® system to treat sleep-disordered breathing.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate changes in immune activity relative to baseline following treatment with Toca 511 and Toca FC in patients with solid tumors (including recurrent high grade glioma [rHGG]) or lymphoma. This is a multicenter, open-label study of Toca 511 and Toca FC. Patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, for whom curative options are not available, will be enrolled into the study, subject to all entry criteria. Tumors must be accessible to biopsy and/or resection. Patients will be qualified based on the presence of specific molecular characteristics, documented by Foundation Medicine (or equivalent) genomic profile report, and specific tumor types. Toca 511 will be administered by IV injection followed by (1) intratumoral injection following biopsy or (2) injection into the resection cavity wall following planned resection in the case of rHGG or brain metastases. Toca FC will be administered orally in cycles of therapy. Patients not undergoing resection of brain tumors will undergo 2 biopsies to allow assessment of baseline and follow-up immune activity in the tumor. Changes in immune activity in peripheral blood will be measured in all patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of multiple doses of BMS-955176 on the QT interval corrected with Fridericia's method (QTcF) in healthy subjects.
This 2-part, Phase 1/2 study will test investigational cancer drugs known as CRS-207, epacadostat (IDO), and pembrolizumab (pembro). The purpose of this study is to find out how safe it is to give the investigational drugs to women with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer and if it helps patients with these types of cancer live longer or can help shrink or slow the growth of cancer.
To Assess the Safety of Vitreous surgery with intraocular assistance (VISIA) & to identify and document with video evidence and surgeon's case report forms intraocular maneuvers that are facilitated by VISIA.
The purpose of this study is to determine how changes in speech perception resulting from a computerized auditory training program are related to concurrent changes in auditory brainstem function resulting from the training. It is hypothesized that the degree of improvement in speech perception will be correlated with the degree of change in brainstem function.
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms including vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation or chronic diarrhea affect a large number of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Furthermore, abnormal GI transit times restrict correct dosing of medication. Two new methods, in combination only available at Aarhus University Hospital (AUH), allow examination of human whole-gut function with a high degree of detail: PET-scans (positron emission tomography scans) of cholinergic signaling in the bowel wall The most important nerve fibers stimulating GI peristalsis use acetylcholine as neurotransmitter. The novel PET technique, [11C] Donepezil PET/CT (Donepezil PET/CT scan based on a carbon isotope), developed at AUH, allows in vivo quantification of cholinergic cells within the bowel wall. 3D-Transit With 3D-Transit electromagnetic capsules are followed during their passage through the GI tract. The novel method provides highly detailed information about regional and whole-gut passage times and contractility patterns. Study protocol 20 healthy subjects and 25 diabetic patients with severe GI symptoms will be included. 1. With [11C]donepezil PET/CT, we aim to describe the degree of cholinergic denervation of the intestine in DM patients with GI severe symptoms. 2. Using 3D-Transit in DM patients before and during intervention with acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor we aim to determine how cholinergic denervation of the intestine contributes to abnormal GI transit patterns. 3. Comparing the transit times of DM patients with either vomiting or diarrhea as main symptoms, we aim to provide pilot data on phenotypes of diabetic GI dysfunction. 4. We aim to explore various aspects of "pan-enteric" dysfunction in DM, including prolonged gastric emptying secondary to severe constipation and delayed small intestinal transit in patients with symptoms of gastroparesis with or without delayed gastric emptying Perspectives Detailed information about cholinergic denervation in DM and objective classification of the pathophysiology of diabetic GI dysfunction may allow targeted future treatment of individual patients.
