Filter by:Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD or wet AMD). In people with wet AMD, the body makes too much of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This causes too many blood vessels to grow in the area of sharpest vision in the eye, called macula. Fluid buildup due to leakage from these vessels can damage the macula, leading to vision problems such as blurring or a blind spot in the central (straight ahead) vision needed for reading or face recognition or car driving. Wet AMD is common in people aged 50 and older. The study treatment intravitreal aflibercept (also called BAY865321) is injected into the eye. It works by blocking the VEGF protein and thus reduces blood vessel growth. It has already been approved for patients with wet AMD to be given as intravitreal injection monthly at start and then every 8 weeks or longer. Repeated injections of aflibercept prevent worsening of vision but place a burden on the patient. Doctors try to increase the time between injections (treatment interval) in routine clinical practice based on individual patient needs. This is called treat and extend (T&E). Treatment intervals are stepwise extended or shortened depending on how the treatment works. This is checked with optical coherence tomography (OCT), an imaging technique used to observe relevant changes in the eye. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well aflibercept works if treatment intervals are extended faster (timepoint of extension is the same for both treatments arms), compared to standard T&E regimen in people with wet AMD in a preselected patient population with no fluid after treatment initiation. To answer this, researchers will assess changes in vision called best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between study start and after 36 weeks. Changes will then be compared between participants whose treatment intervals were extended early and those on standard T&E regimen. All participants will receive 2 mg aflibercept as intravitreal injection for up to 52 weeks in intervals of every 4 to 16 weeks. Each participant will be in the study for up to 56 weeks. During this time 4 visits to the study site are set for all participants. The other visits are set individually. A final phone call is planned 3 days after treatment at the end of study. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - check patients' eye health using various eye examination techniques (slit lamp microscopy, OCT, and ophthalmoscopy) that may necessitate eye drops to widen the pupil) - measure patients' eye vision (BCVA) - do physical examinations - check vital signs - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, participants in the fast extension arm will be provided with a home monitoring OCT device.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of sitravatinib in combination with tislelizumab for the treatment of participants with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the impact of cobicistat (COBI) (P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and strong cytochrome P450 enzyme [CYP]3A inhibitor), voriconazole (VOR) (strong CYP3A inhibitor), and rifabutin (RFB) (moderate CYP3A inducer) on the study drug, vesatolimod (VES), in people with HIV-1 on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
The purpose of this study was to confirm a safe dose and schedule as well as the preliminary efficacy of siremadlin alone, and in combination with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), in adult participants with AML who are in remission following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) but are at high risk for relapse based on the presence of pre-transplant risk factors.
Phase 2, multi-center, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VB119 on the maintenance of remission and duration of response in adults with primary MCD or primary FSGS who previously responded to steroid therapy.
This study is designed to evaluate the presence and numbers of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer related gene expression levels in subjects with localized high-risk prostate cancer (HRLPC) and from subjects with non-metastatic disease experiencing biochemical recurrence and castration-resistance (BCRLPC and NMCRPC groups, respectively) who are about to undergo next generation imaging (NGI, such as Axumin® or PSMA PETCT). The investigators will also evaluate subjects with localized indolent prostate cancer who are on active surveillance (AS) as a control population. The CTC and gene expression results will be evaluated for association with disease state and progression and survival.
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best doses of capmatinib plus trametinib when given together for the treatment of patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Capmatinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Trametinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells. Capmatinib and trametinib are "targeted therapies." These targeted therapies work by detecting and targeting a mutation in the MET gene. Giving Capmatinib and trametinib may kill more tumor cells in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common condition with prevalence was up to 80%. Symptoms associated with GSM include vaginal or vulvar dryness, itchiness, dyspareunia, increased urinary frequency or urgency and dysuria. Although the symptoms are disturbing and causing a significant negative impact on quality of life, it is observed that only a minority of the women receive proper treatment. Treating these GSM-associated symptoms properly is important because these symptoms usually persist with time, unlike vasomotor symptoms of menopause which may subside spontaneously with time. The clinical efficacy and metabolism of vaginal DHEA has been evaluated in western population. However, there is lack of local data on the effectiveness of vaginal DHEA in treating Chinese women with GSM. Therefore, we aim at evaluating the clinical outcome of our participants who have moderate to severe symptoms of GSM who has been treated with vaginal DHEA.
Collection of clinical and genetic data to help identify individuals that carry genetic variants of known importance in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
This is a two-part study evaluating the effectiveness of CRD-740 in patients with either Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) or Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) after 12 weeks of treatment. The primary objective in Part A is to assess the effect of CRD-740 compared to placebo in plasma cGMP at Week 4. The primary objective in Part B is to determine whether CRD-740 reduces NT-proBNP compared to placebo at Week 12.
