Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of personalized innovative fritters on the nutritional health of overweight and obese individuals aged 40 to 70 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does consuming personalized innovative fritters affect the nutritional health of overweight and obese individuals? - What is the mechanism underlying the impact of personalized innovative oil bars on nutritional health? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a trial group consuming personalized innovative fritters and a control group consuming traditional fritters with equal energy content. Over the course of 6 months, participants will undergo two phases of intervention separated by a two-month washout period. During the intervention, participants will be assessed comprehensively for sensory ratings and nutritional health status through biological indicators, physical examinations, and other relevant measures. Researchers will compare the trial group to the control group to determine if personalized innovative fritters lead to improvements in nutritional health compared to traditional fritters.
This study is a prospective, open label, multi-centre phase 2 trial which assesses the efficacy and safety of standard dosing compared to extended dosing interval of nivolumab, atezolizumab or pembrolizumab in advanced/unresectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction/oesphageal adenocarcinomas with PDL1 CPS ≥5%, hepatocellular carcinoma andnon-small cell lung cancer with PDL1 TPS≥50% with no prior treatment. The investigators hypothesize that nivolumab, pembrolizumab and atezolizumab can be used efficiently at extended dosing intervals, compared to their approved labels with comparable clinical outcome.
Rehabilitation Of Balance Function In Patients With Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness: A longitudinal Study
The aim of this study is to see if giving less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) during high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen treatment reduces the need for invasive ventilation in babies with breathing problems born 2-6 weeks early. Less invasive surfactant administration is where surfactant (a naturally produced substance which helps open up the tiny air sacs in the lungs making it easier for babies to breathe) is given into the lungs by putting a small tube into the windpipe through the mouth whilst the baby is awake. The surfactant is given slowly and breathed in. High flow nasal cannula is a form of non-invasive support where a machine delivers warmed, moist oxygen and air through short tubes in the nose. The investigators will be assessing whether a lower percentage of neonates need invasive ventilation within 72 hrs from birth when they have had LISA during HFNC treatment, compared to when they don't receive this treatment. The investigators will also be looking at the length of neonatal unit stay and the cost of the stay. The investigators will also be measuring the lung function of the babies before and after they receive LISA.
The survival of children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with acute leukemia has improved dramatically over the last two decades. This success is a result of using multiple chemotherapy drugs in combination, with the inclusion of drugs that enter the brain and prevent leukemia cells from growing there. Studies in these cancer survivors have shown that the exposure to these chemotherapy drugs can lead to risks for impaired brain function, also referred to as neurocognitive side effects of chemotherapy. There is an opportunity to identify participants at risk for these side effects and to prevent their development. The purpose of this study is to incorporate a brain imaging tool known as Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) to look for brain matter changes in acute leukemia participants receiving chemotherapy. The MRF scan will be performed at diagnosis and repeated at multiple times during the entire therapy duration as well as at defined intervals after therapy is complete. Investigators would also do an electronic test of memory and brain function (cognitive function), which would be administered in a gaming format on iPads or a similar device. The goal will be to correlate results of MRF imaging with the tests of cognitive function. The benefits of this imaging technique include that it can be done quickly (in minutes), it is non-invasive, it is resistant to motion-artifacts and it can be easily repeated for comparison purposes. The advantages of the cognitive test include its short duration of 20 minutes and its gaming format making it friendly for children to use.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction Adebrelimab (anti-PD-L1 antibody) combined with chemotherapy, then guided by PET-CT assessment to change the following chemoradiotherapy regiment for locally advanced unresectable ESCC.
The issue of valve durability has become one of the most important aspects in the TAVR field in recent years since transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been progressively applied to younger patients with a low co-morbidity burden. The SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve represents the last generation of the SAPIEN valve system and includes several important iterations (newer leaflet calcium-blocking technology targeting calcium-attracting free aldehydes, dry tissue storage, newer skirt textile design) that should translate into a favorable impact on valve durability at mid- to long- term follow-up
This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 as a treatment in patients with acute ulcerative colitis. Patients who qualify are adults who have not responded to treatments for their severe ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as an open-label pilot study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 7 study visits, all of which will be conducted at a study site. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool and urine sample for a few lab tests throughout the study. Participants may also undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy at the beginning and end of the study.
This is an investigator-initiated trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti- CD19-CAR-T cells in the relapse or refractory autoimmune diseases.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells targeted against CD19 have demonstrated unprecedented successes in treating patients with hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies. Besides CD19, many other molecules such as CD22, CD30,BCMA,CD123, etc. may be the potential to develop the corresponding CAR-T cells to treat patients whose tumors express those markers. In this study, investigators will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sequential CAR-T Cells Targeting CD5/CD7 in patients with patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL/ETP-ALL. The primary goal is safety assessment including cytokine storm response and any other adverse effects. In addition, disease status after treatment will also be evaluated.
