Filter by:This will be a descriptive study designed to evaluate the propensity for hospitalized pediatric patients treated adequately with Clinolipid or standard of care for up to 90 days to develop Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency (EFAD). Additionally, this study design will evaluate the safety and efficacy of using Clinolipid in a pediatric population.
Incontinence is a widespread problem in all health care setting. One of the main complications of incontinence is inflammation of the skin in the genital and anal region, also known as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). IAD is a known risk factor of pressure ulcer development. Prevalence figures of IAD vary between 5.6% and 50%. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a 3-in-1 genital wipe versus standard care (traditional water and soap) for the prevention of IAD. The second aim is to perform a health economic evaluation of the 3-in-1 genital wipe versus standard care, and third to compare the cost of a 2-in-1 total body wash wipe versus standard care for total body wash. Other outcomes are the comfort and tolerance of both the nurses and participants. In this Randomized Controlled Trial, performed in 13 long-term care settings, the participants will undergo a 30 day study period. In the experimental intervention, the participants will be washed with body wash wipes and genital wipes. In the control group, the subjects will receive traditional care. IAD as well as Pressure Ulcer prevalence will be monitored. Subjective and objective time measurements will be performed.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose onalespib when given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Onalespib works by blocking proper processing of proteins that are important for cancer growth. This results in inability of these proteins to work properly. Paclitaxel kills breast cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide. Giving onalespib together with paclitaxel may be better than giving either one alone in treating patients with breast cancer.
The QTRAC method is an electrophysiological technique that assesses peripheral nerve axonal excitability, using computerized analysis of the muscular response of musculus abductor pollicis brevis, to series of electrical stimulations of the median nerve. Because of its high sensitivity to small changes in axonal excitability, QTRAC may help improve the follow-up of patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy caused by anti-myelin-associated-glycoprotein antibodies (anti-MAG neuropathy), as axonal excitability is early affected in this disease. The main aim of the study is to compare QTRAC results in anti-MAG neuropathy patients, with QTRAC results in healthy persons (matched for sex and age). A secondary aim is to determine whether or not the disease's clinical severity (measured by quantitative clinical scores) is correlated with the results of the QTRAC and could be predicted by a model based on the several parameters measured in the QTRAC exploration. 100 anti-MAG neuropathy patients will undergo a QTRAC exploration and a thorough neurological examination with clinical scoring. The results will be compared with data (matched by sex and age) from the reference database on healthy subjects, that is provided with the QTRAC software. The investigators expect to prove that QTRAC results are modified in anti-MAG neuropathy patients, and that the clinical severity of the disease can be predicted by a combination of QTRAC-measured parameters.
This study was a double-blind, randomized, parallel group, proof of concept study comparing FX006 to Kenalog®-40 (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP) in patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of single agent idelalisib and to evaluate safety and define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of idelalisib in combination with chemotherapy in adults with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
The objectives of this study are to assess safety and to evaluate the biologic activity of TARGTEPO treatment in Peritoneal Dialysis patients
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics，safety and tolerability of Hemay020 and to determine the recommended dose for future Phase II study as well as to obtain preliminary information on the efficacy of Hemay020 in subjects with solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part one, testing will be done on up to 16-31 subjects to determine the safety and tolerability of Hemay 020 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Part two, another 16-24 subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, will be added to the trial to better define the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Hemay020.
This is Proof-of-Concept (POC) study to assess the preliminary antitumor activity and safety and tolerablity using ceritinib (LDK378) in the treatment of life threatening tumors that are characterized by ALK genetic alteration (and/or overexpression in some diseases).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of JBT-101 in adult subjects with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis.
