Filter by:50 patients will be included for each of the 2 procedures: - For procedure 1: Patients will be selected during multidisciplinary consultations for amputees who are stabilized with their definitive prosthesis and have returned to their usual place of residence. The aim of this procedure is to show the validity and reproducibility of measurements of tissue oxygenation using NIRS (TcPO2 being the reference measurement), to determine the way in which NIRS measurements are more precise (i.e. in terms of validity and reproductibility) (values at rest with the patient lying perfectly flat or with the amputated limb raised 30°). These patients will require a single visit which will include measurements by NIRS and TCPO2, a walk test and the completion of 2 questionnaires (visual scale). - For procedure 2: The patients will be included in the initial phase of postamputation rehabilitation, during the period of in-hospital rehabilitation. The main problems of healing and tolerance to the temporary prosthesis arise during this phase. The specific objectives will be: To show that measurement by NIRS predicts the quality of healing in trans-tibial amputees; to show that the zone of uncertainty concerning the predictive values for the viability of the stump is smaller with NIRS than with TcPO2 (better discrimination). NIRS and TCPO2 measurements as well as the evaluation of stump healing will be done 15, 30 and 45 days after the amputation.
Step 1: Inclusion of eligible patients to carry out a translational search for prognostic and predictive markers of Complete Clinical Response and Pathologic Complete Response (using blood samples and diagnostic biopsies) and to collect data on radiochemotherapy and its toxicity. The trial will evaluate strategies after neoadjuvant treatment and not RCT protocols. The RCT will thus be chosen by the investigator from published effective schemes in a pre-operative setting or in patients not undergoing surgery. Evaluation of the response 5 to 6 weeks after the RCT. Step 2: Randomisation in patients with a complete clinical response: Arm A: Systematic surgery Arm B: Surveillance and rescue surgery in cases with resectable loco-regional recurrence Patients not eligible for randomisation will have the possibility to participate in a specific study (information can be obtained from the SAKK group (Switzerland Group Clinical Research on Cancer)).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Part 2 dose, safety and efficacy of MLN1117 (TAK-117) in combination with docetaxel, paclitaxel, investigational TAK-659 or investigational alisertib in adult participants with advanced and metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The study consists of a dose escalation phase (Part 1) and a dose expansion phase (Part 2).
This randomized pilot clinical trial dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone with or without aprepitant in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy for gastrointestinal malignancy. Antiemetic drugs may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving aprepitant together with dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone is more effective than dolasetron mesylate and dexamethasone alone in preventing nausea and vomiting.
The study aims to asses the ability of cell tests based on the analysis of the anti-Aspergillus cell responses and identify Aspergillus bronchitis with patients with cystic fibrosis. In addition, the study will evaluate the contribution of biological classification of aspergillosis according to criteria recently proposed by Baxter et al. compared to the classification used in clinical practice in the hospital of Montpellier.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of Obeticholic Acid treatment compared to placebo on 1) histological improvement and 2) liver-related clinical outcomes in patients with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of CINRYZE administered with plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, or immune adsorption treatments and sucrose-free immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of renal allograft in kidney transplant recipients as measured by the proportion of participants with new or worsening transplant glomerulopathy (TG) at 6 months after treatment initiation.
The primary aim of the study is to compare two techniques for treatment of total knee infection: resection total knee arthroplasty with an articulating (motion in the joint) spacer and resection total knee arthroplasty with a static (no motion in the joint) spacer.
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II
Aim of the study is the determination of the ideal timepoint for the treatment of patients with acute Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and an acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a GRACE score < 140. It should be determine if a prompt coronary angiography or the protection of the kidneys from the used contrast agent is more important for the outcome of the patients. Additionally it will be investigated if the ischemic precondition can help to prevent heart damages.
