Filter by:A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Mexiletine During 26 Weeks of Treatment in Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 and Type 2 [The MIND Study]
The purpose of this study is to assess whether switching nAMD patients from aflibercept to brolucizumab would permit extension of treatment intervals while maintaining treatment efficacy, thereby alleviating the treatment burden on patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and medical institutions.
The study is being done to identify types of bacteria associated with the lining of the large intestine in people who have recently been diagnosed with C. difficile infection to determine if there are features associated with development, clearance, and recurrence of disease.
The study is a Phase 3 multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HLX01 versus European Union (EU)-sourced Mabthera® as first line treatment in patients with low tumour burden FL. The study will consist of a Screening Period (up to 42 days), Treatment Period (Week 1 to Week 44/Month 11), and End of Study (EOS; Month 12 Visit). Approximately 212 patients (106 in each treatment group) will be enrolled. Utilising a 1-sided 97.5% CI for the risk difference, a reference proportion of 83.2% for Mabthera®, delta for non-inferiority of -17%, and assuming a true difference of 1%, a sample size of 106 patients per arm (212 total) provides approximately 85% power to show non-inferiority of HLX01 to Mabthera® on a primary endpoint of risk difference in ORR up to Week 28. No dropout is included, as all patients will either have data provided for ORR (based on best response), or will be classed as non-responder.
SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
In spite of conventional immunosuppression with lymphocyte-depleting induction followed by tacrolimus- and mycophenolate-based regimens, African American (AA) renal transplant recipients experience higher rates of acute rejection (AR), donor specific antibodies (DSA), and graft failure. Envarsus Extended-Release (XR)® (ENV) is a novel extended-release formulation of tacrolimus with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, even in the setting of CYP3A5*1 allele (rapid metabolizers). The investigator will evaluate the safety and efficacy of early dose escalation with ENV in AA recipients. The study hypothesis is that higher tacrolimus target concentrations may be achieved without typical dose-limiting toxicities, and this may ultimately result in lower incidence of early AR, DSA, and graft loss.
Creativity is a complex neuro-psycho-philosophical phenomenon that is difficult to define. Neurocognitive models of creativity suggest that creativity is associated with the activity of a distributed, bilateral fronto-temporal and parietal network. Therefore, a modulation of frontal activity is necessary to allow a certain degree of "controlled disinhibition", which seems to be necessary for creative thinking. In addition, a modulation of the lower parietal lobe (IPL) might allow targeting the brain regions responsible for idea generation. This project will investigate the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with the intent of modulating creativity performance of healthy subjects. Resting state electroencephalography (EEG) that will be acquired pre- and post-TMS and participants' creative performance will be measured. Perspectives include a better understanding of the differences between high- and low-creativity groups, as measured by a creativity test battery, in their response to TMS. Additional perspectives are whether there are differences in creativity performance depending on the stimulation location.
Background: About one-third to one-half of all people dying of extrathoracic malignant diseases have cancer that has spread to the lungs. Surgery may help some people. But most people with pulmonary metastases do not survive long. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To find a safe dose of Azacytidine, when taken as a fine mist that is inhaled (aerosolized Azacytidine), together with Bintrafusp Alfa to treat cancers that have spread to the lungs. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have cancer that has spread to the lungs, cannot be cured with surgery, and has not responded to standard treatments. Design: Participants will get Azacytidine by breathing treatments once a day for 3 days each week, for 3 weeks. The 3-week period is 1 cycle. Each course of treatment is 3 cycles. Once per cycle, participants will get Bintrafusp Alfa via IV. An IV is a small tube that is put into an arm vein. Participants will keep a diary of any side effects. Participants can take the study drugs for as long as they can continue treatment. Participants will have medical histories and physical exams. They will give blood, urine, and lung lining fluid samples. Tumor samples will be taken via bronchoscopy. They will have lung function tests. Participants will have an imaging scan that shows how spray particles move in their airway when they inhale. They will have tumor imaging scans of the chest and brain. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after they stop treatment....
Background: T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are rare cancers. Many types of TCLs do not develop in the lymph nodes but in places like the skin, spleen, and bone marrow. Researchers want to see if a mix of 4 drugs can help people with TCL. Objective: To test if the combination of romidepsin, CC-486 (5-azacitidine), duvelisib, and doxorubicin can be used safely in people with TCL. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older with TCL that is newly diagnosed or that returned after or did not respond to standard treatments. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They may have a tumor biopsy. Participants will have medical histories, medicine reviews, and physical exams. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They will have blood and urine tests. Participants will take duvelisib and CC-486 (5-azacitidine) by mouth. They will get romidepsin and doxorubicin by intravenous infusion. They will take the drugs for up to eight 21-day cycles. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. Bone marrow will be taken through a needle inserted in the hip. Participants will have tumor imaging scans. Some may have a brain MRI and lumbar puncture. Some may have skin assessments. Participants will give blood, saliva, and tumor samples for research. Participants will have a safety visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up visits every 60 days for 6 months, then every 90 days for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. Then they will have yearly visits until their disease gets worse or they start a new treatment....
This phase I trial studies the safety and how effective the combination of ublituximab, umbralisib, and lenalidomide is in certain types of indolent (slow-growing) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma. Lenalidomide may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Lenalidomide may also stop the growth of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Umbralisib is designed to block a protein called PI3 kinase in order to stop cancer growth and cause changes in the immune system that may allow the immune system to better act against cancer cells. Ublituximab is an antibody that attaches to the lymphoma cells and triggers immune reactions that may result in the death of the targeted lymphoma cells.
