Filter by:This study aims to assess the performance of an ultrasonic system for automatic classification of cataract type and severity, as well as the estimation of the optimal phacoemulsification energy. Ultrasonic signals from the lens will be acquired with the Experimental Medical Device (ESUS) in participants with cataract, and in healthy subjects (control). The proposed technique may represent an important advance in cataract treatment. The quantitative and automatic classification of cataract type and severity, and the estimation of the optimal phacoemulsification energy is may represent a valuable tool for surgical planning, reducing complications associated to excessive levels of phacoemulsification energy, as well as the times spent on surgeries. This device may be relevant not only for patients, but also for public health systems, reducing waiting lists and associated costs.
It is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, two-stage optimized design, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of F520 for the treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) or Secondary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (SCNSL).
The goal of this study is to adapt an evidence-based sedentary behavior reduction intervention for men and women living in Alabama and determine its feasibility, acceptance, and limited efficacy.
This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase II study assessing the efficacy and safety of Almonertinib compared Erlotinib or platinum doublet chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin + pemetrexed) as neoadjuvant therapy to EGFRm+ IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients.
Heart disease is still one of the world's most important health problems, and it ranks second among the top ten causes of death among Taiwan. The main cause of death is acute coronary syndrome, and vascular stent placement is the main treatment method for acute coronary syndrome. The probability of restenosis in patients within half a year after a general stent is as high as 25% to 40%. Re-hospitalization and surgery is a big burden on patients and the country's medical costs. However, a set of convenient and accurate clinical tools to determine the prognosis of patients has not yet been developed. Miniaturized wearable devices have been the mainstream trend in medical development in recent years. ECG and heart sound analysis technology are an easy to used medical device for automatically calculating the parameters including EMAT (electromechanical activation time), S4, S4, SDI (Systolic dyssynchrony index). ECG and heart sound could evaluate the heart function, and has the potential to be an effective tools for prognosis and treatment guidelines. Heart rate variability (HRV) and Accelerationplethysmogram (APG) is also proved the predictive effect the outcome of patients. This study is start on June 1 2020. We will enroll 400 patients who diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and have been a heart stent surgery, and registry there medical history,routine examination and medication, ECG and heart, HRV and APG record at admission, pre-discharge and every routine return visit within I year after discharge.Patients will also wear ECG and PPG (Photoplethysmography) band ever day after discharge, and collected the longitutinal data .All subjects will be tracked the medical adverse events in 1 years after discharge, and compare the characteristic and prognosis value of between patients with and without events. Therefore, our purpose of this study is to drive an effective outcome prediction model by non-invasive device, and establish a telecare model of patient with heart stent implantation to reducing medical adverse events.
This Phase 2, open-label, multi-site study will explore the safety and feasibility of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)-assisted psychotherapy and adjunctive caregiver involvement in the treatment of 18 participants with eating disorders. The study will enroll 12 participants with anorexia nervosa restricting-type (AN-R) and six participants with binge eating disorder (BED). A supportive caregiver, such as a parent or partner, for each participant will also be recruited to participate in the study and receive non-drug psychotherapy support. The study will consist of Preparatory Sessions, Experimental Sessions of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, as well as Individual and Dyadic Integrative Sessions. A flexible dose of MDMA will be given during Experimental Sessions, ranging from 80 to 120 mg with a supplemental half-dose of 40 or 60 mg 1.5 to 2 hours later, respectively, unless contraindicated. The primary outcome measure is the change in Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) results from Baseline to Visit 16 (Study Termination).
In the literature, it is emphasized that oral colostrum administration in very low birth weight infants supported the immune development of the premature newborn, contributed to the development of oral microbiota and reduced the length of hospital stay (Manzoni 2011; Pammi 2011; Zhang 2017; Moreno‐Fernandez 2018; Rodriguez 2009). However, there was no source answering the question of how both the mother and the infant are affected by oral colostrum administration in very low birth weight infants. Based on the studies indicating that premature infants distinguished their mother's milk smell and taste (Lecanuet and Schoal, 1996; Aoyama et al. 2010), it was aimed to find answers to the questions of whether this administration in infants without oral intake had positive effect on the success of breastfeeding. Research Hypotheses: H0: Oral colostrum administration in very low birth weight premature infants who cannot be fed orally has no effect on breastfeeding. H1: Oral colostrum administration in very low birth weight premature infants who cannot be fed orally affects the success of breastfeeding
This study will compare maintenance therapy with anlotinib plus pemetrexed versus pemetrexed or anlotinib alone, in patients with Non-squamous Non-small cell lung cancer who have not progressed during first-line therapy with anlotinib + pemetrexed + carboplatin. The primary endpoint of the study is progression-free survival (PFS); the secondary endpoints are disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS).
This is a phase 1/2a study including 2 parts, phase 1 and phase 2a. The phase 1 part is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety and explore the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of a human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell product (BX-U001) in severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Qualified subjects after the screening will be divided into low, medium, or high dose groups to receive a single intravenous infusion of BX-U001 at the dose of 0.5×10^6, 1.0×10^6, or 1.5×10^6 cells/kg of body weight, respectively. The Phase 2a part is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial examining the safety and biological effects of BX-U001 at the appropriate dose selected from phase 1 for severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as the phase 1 part.
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a neuro-respiratory disease characterized by lifethreatening sleep-related hypoventilation involving an alteration of CO2/H+ chemosensitivity. This suggests cortical activity during awakening to maintain breathing. Cortical activity to keep breathing is usually associated with breathing discomfort ; this is the case in healthy subjects under non invasive ventilation (NIV) or with expiratory charge as well as in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This can suggest that CCHS may be breathless at rest and this discomfort could be reduced by NIV. The objective is to evaluate dyspnea with a multi dimensional score, MDP, in CCHS patient at rest in every day life and during 1H session of NIV. The investigators will perform a prospective, including 20 CCHS patients. MDP scores will be measure before and after 1H-non invasive ventilation as well as a visual scale of 100mm in order to evaluate variation of breathing discomfort before/after NIV. The investigators expect that CCHS patients don't have rest dyspnea but NIV would improve breathing discomfort that would mean they have latent rest dyspnea.
