Filter by:Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of I10E administered at a reduced maintenance dose in sustaining CIDP response after an initial 6-month treatment in PRISM study. (I10E-1302). Secondary objective: To assess the safety of I10E in this patient population.
Background: - Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) come from cells of the hormonal and nervous systems. Some people have surgery to shrink the tumor. Sometimes the tumors come back. Researchers think that treatment with drugs based on knowing the defective gene might give better results. Objective: - To see if drugs selected based on the defective gene result in better tumor response. The drugs are Sunitinib and Everolimus. Eligibility: - People age 18 and older with an advanced low- or intermediate-grade gastrointestinal or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Scans - Blood, urine, and lab tests - The study team will see if participants should have surgery. - If yes, participants will: - Sign a separate consent - Have computed tomography (CT) scan before and after surgery - Have as much of the tumor removed as possible. A small piece will be tested for mutation type. - If no, participants will have a small piece of tumor removed for the testing. - If the surgery might cure them, the participant will leave the study. The other participants will be assigned to take either Sunitinib or Everolimus. - Participants will take their drug by mouth once a day. They will keep a medicine diary. Some will keep track of their blood pressure at least weekly. - Screening tests may be repeated at study visits. Participants also may have their heart evaluated. - About 30 days after the last day of their study drug, participants will have a follow-up visit that repeats the screening tests. - Participants will be contacted every 3 months after this visit.
Gastrointestinal bleeding originating from the small bowel is difficult to diagnose and treat because the small bowel is difficult to see and reach. Balloon assisted enteroscopy (BAE) is a new enteroscopy methods that allow examination of the small bowel and allows for diagnosis and treatment of bleeding originating from this part of the intestine. Unfortunately, BAE is unsuccessful in identifying the cause of bleeding in 40-50% of patients. This may be due to limited visualization of the small bowel lining during conventional endoscopy. One way to improve visualization of the small bowel lining is by adding a transparent plastic cap to the end of the endoscope (camera), which allows the endoscope to see around sharp turned and behind folds in the small bowel. The investigators goal in this randomized controlled study is to see if adding a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will help to identify and treat small bowel bleeding. The investigators will invite patients referred for BAE to participate in the study; the alternative to participating in the study is having standard BAE (without a cap). If patients choose to participate in the study they will be randomized to BAE with or without a cap on the end of the endoscope. Subjects time commitment will be limited to the consent process and pre-procedure paperwork at time of initial endoscopy and time required to complete telephone questionnaire at 12 months follow up.
The European Home Mechanical Ventilation Registry (EHMVR) will enable a thorough evaluation of HMV by documenting the characteristics of HMV patients and their treatment. This will facilitate a prospective, observational study to identify the primary indications for HMV, describe patterns of HMV use in European countries, and characterize changes in the initiation and utilization of HMV over time. The registry will target all adult individuals who have an indication for HMV. In the EHMVR, patient data from routine clinical care will be documented using an electronic case report form (eCRF). The eCRF will record: patient demographic data; diagnostic information (including primary diagnosis, 6-minute walk time, the presence of depression, and quality of life); blood gases; ventilation treatment (including type of ventilator, modes and settings, interfaces used); follow-up data (including failure rates, side effects, technical issues). An initial Pilot Phase will be launched with the aim to enrol at least 200 patients over a 6-month period to determine the feasibility of the registry. Steering committee members and their institutions will be the main participants in the Pilot Phase. After completion of the Pilot Phase, the registry will be expanded across Europe with the goal of enrolling approximately 10,000 patients over 5 years.
Diagnostic comparison between PET/CT and PET/MRI with integrated perfusion measurement in CT and MR. Study aim is to gain knowledge about additional value of CT perfusion and MR perfusion in solid tumors concerning tumor physiology, diagnostic accuracy and possibly prognostic.
This is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label phase 2 study of the SINE™ compound selinexor given orally to patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL or CTCL. Approximately 60 patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL or CTCL who meet the eligibility criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled to receive selinexor until either disease progression or intolerance has occurred.
This is a multi-center, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm efficacy and safety study in subjects newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis. Subjects will remain on-study until study completion, which will occur when all primary endpoint events (all-cause mortality or cardiac hospitalizations) have been reached.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide improves immune response to pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Lenalidomide may also improve the effectiveness of pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine that is used to prevent infection.
Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety of vatelizumab in MS patients Secondary Objective: To assess the long-term efficacy of vatelizumab
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sildenafil 20mg taken three times a day is effective in the treatment of Heart Failure with Reactive Pulmonary Hypertension. This is a double-blind, placebo controlled trial.
