Filter by:The main purpose of this study will be to evaluate the prognostic value at 3 months of life of brain perfusion MRI determined by Arterial Spin Labeling technique in the first week of life of term newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy requiring management in neonatal intensive care unit.
Fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) has been widely used in ERCP patients with malignant or benign biliary stricture, difficult CBDS, post-EST bleeding, bile leak or perforation. Compared with uncovered SEMS, FCSEMS can be removed several months later and has the advantage of longer patency. Proximal or distal migration is one of major disadvantages of FCSEMS. The migration rate ranged from 7.0%-33% in previous reports. We hypothesized that the fixation of the distal end of FCSEMS by a metal clip could decrease the migration rate and migration-related cholangitis.
Neonatal Cardio-Pulmonary outcome measure (N-COM) will be used to assess the overall status of pulmonary and cardiac vascular system of neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). There are many scales available which are helpful for assessing behavior, pain, and neurological status of neonates but there is no scale available till now which can help to assess cardio-pulmonary status of neonates.
ACT is a randomized clinical trial to assess therapies to reduce the clinical progression of COVID-19.
the study was to evaluate the effect of intra-canal cryotherapy on post-endodontic pain and interleukin-6 expression in teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis using different irrigation protocols.
SURF-201 is being studied for the treatment of eye inflammation and pain in people who are undergoing cataract surgery. SURF-201 is an investigational drug (which means the study drug is currently being tested) in the form of a sterile eye drop. The purpose of this research study is to see how well SURF-201 works and what side effects there are, and to compare it with Vehicle (placebo). This study will involve about 80 study participants at several different research sites in the United States.
This is a Phase 1, single-center study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and bioavailability of subcutaneously administered lirentelimab (AK002) in adult healthy volunteers. Subjects will receive a single dose of intravenous AK002 or subcutaneous lirentelimab (AK002) assigned in a double-blind, randomized fashion.
TC-110 T cells are a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing a single-domain antibody that recognizes human CD19, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex. This is a Phase 1/2 open-label study to evaluate the safety of autologous genetically engineered TC-110 T cells in patients with aggressive NHL (DLBCL, PMBCL, TFL), high-risk indolent NHL (including MCL), or adult ALL.
COVID-19 infection is overwhelming Italian healthcare. There is an urgent need for a solution to the lack of ICU beds and increasing deaths day after day. A recent retrospective Chinese paper (JAMA Intern Med, online March 13, 2020) showed impressive positive effect of methylprednisolone (MP) on survival of SARS-CoV-2 critically ill patients. Moreover, the Italian Infectious Disease leading institution guidelines for COVID-19 clinical management included as an option for patients with "incipient worsening of respiratory functions" methylprednisolone treatment at an approximate dose of 80mg. The main objective of this multi-centre observational trial is to analyse the association of low dose prolonged infusion of methylprednisolone (MP) for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome with composite primary end-point (ICU referral, need for intubation, in-hospital death at day 28).
In December 2019, the Municipal Health Committee of Wuhan, China, identified an outbreak of viral pneumonia of unknown cause. This new coronavirus was called SARS-CoV-2 and the disease caused by that virus, COVID-19. Recent numbers show that 222,643 infections have been diagnosed with 9115 deaths, worldwide. Currently, there are no approved therapeutic agents available for coronaviruses. In this scenario, the situation of a global public health emergency and evidence about the potential positive effect of chloroquine (CQ) in most coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, and recent data on small trials on SARS-CoV-2, the investigators intend to investigate the efficacy and the safety of CQ diphosphate in the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome in the scenario of SARS-CoV2. Preliminary in vitro studies and uncontrolled trials with low number of patients of CQ repositioning in the treatment of COVID-19 have been encouraging. The main hypothesis is that CQ diphosphate will reduce mortality in 50% in those with severe acute respiratory syndrome infected by the SARS-COV2. Therefore, the main objective is to assess whether the use of chloroquine diphosphate reduces mortality by 50% in the study population. The primary outcome is mortality in day 28 of follow-up. According to local contingency plan, developed by local government for COVID-19 in the State of Amazonas, the Hospital Pronto-Socorro Delphina Aziz, located in Manaus, is the reference unit for the admission of serious cases of the new virus. The unit currently has 50 ICU beds, with the possibility of expanding to 335 beds, if needed. The hospital also has trained multiprofessional human resources and adequate infrastructure. In total, 440 participants (220 per arm) will receive either high dose chloroquine 600 mg bid regime (4x150 mg tablets, every 12 hours, D1-D10) or low dose chloroquine 450mg bid regime (3x150mg tablets + 1 placebo tablet every 12 hours on D1, 3x150mg tablets + 1 placebo followed by 4 placebo tablets 12h later from D2 to D5, and 4 placebo tablets every 12 hours, D6-D10). Placebo tablets were used to standardize treatment duration and blind research team and patients. All drugs administered orally (or via nasogastric tube in case of orotracheal intubation). Both intervention and placebo drugs will be produced by Farmanguinhos. Clinical and laboratory data during hospitalization will be used to assess efficacy and safety outcomes.
