This study involves two non-randomized groups of patients: the observation group and the comparison group. The comparison group will retrospectively include data on 29 patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who received treatment with trastuzumab-emtansine and had a history of SRT. The prospective part of this study aims to include 29 patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. These patients will undergo SRT followed by the administration of trastuzumab emtansine 24 hours after the SRT. The combined effect of stereotactic radiation therapy on a metastatic lesion followed by anti-HER2 therapy in the 2nd line - trastuzumab emtansine, remains unexplored. This study plans to evaluate the effectiveness of combining systemic therapy and local control methods (SRT) in patients with oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. It will be the first time the efficacy and toxic profile of this new combined treatment method in this patient population will be studied. This basket trial evaluates trastuzumab emtansine for oligo-metastatic breast cancer with the aim of inducing deep responses, long-lasting disease remissions, and potentially cure.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.
Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia (TDT) is an emerging global public health concern. Hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment. But its adoption is limited due to lack of HLA matched donor, experienced centers and high initial cost. So, researches are going on in search of an effective, safe, easily available treatment option. Use of fetal haemoglobin inducing agents shows promising effects in treatment of TDT patients. Thalidomide an immunomodulating and anti-angiogenic drug has been shown to induce γ-globin gene expression and increase the proliferation of erythroid cells. Furthermore Hydroxyurea (HU) is known to increase haemoglobin (Hb) by HbF induction and reduction of inflammation and hypercoagulability. Recent studies with combination of HU and Thalidomide have shown promising results in treatment of Thalassemia patients. However, most of those studies are retrospective or single arm nonrandomized trials & The study population includes both adult and children age group . So the effectiveness of combination therapy of Thalidomide and HU needs to be established through randomized trials. This single centered non blinded quasi randomized clinical trial will be conducted at the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh for one year of period. Thirty transfusion dependent thalassemia children of 3-18 years old will be included in each group. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of combination of Thalidomide and Hydroxyurea in TDT children. It will play an important role in planning a cost effective and affordable treatment option for TDT children.This study will involve minimum physical risk to the patient. Written informed consent will be taken from parents or study subjects after brief explanation of the purpose and procedure. They will also be informed about the freedom to participate or not to participate at any time. Privacy and confidentiality will be safe guarded. History regarding age, sex, height, weight of these patients will be taken. Thorough physical examinations and laboratory investigations including CBC, Hb electrophoresis, serum Ferritin, serum creatinine, SGPT will be done. Data will be collected in a predesigned questionnaire and will be kept confidential. Statistical analysis will be done using the statistical software SPSS.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an individual physical activity intervention (IPAI) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in participants with first line or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) initiating ibrutinib in a routine clinical practice setting. HRQoL will be measured using functional assessment of cancer therapy - general scale (FACT-G).
The primary objective of this study is to explore and evaluate the use and utility of a guided Internet-delivered psychological treatment for adults with ADHD with a combined focus on: i) Evaluating the impact of potential predictors to treatment adherence, treatment response, treatment use and utilty. ii) Evaluating the feasibility, clinical benefits and implementation process of the treatment in routine outpatient care. iii) Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment program.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of repeat-dose OMS906 5 mg/kg IV administration at 8-week intervals in patients with PNH.
This prospective comparative study aims to compare medial rectus (MR) muscle fenestration and recession in patients with partially accommodative esotropia (PAET). The main question it aims to answer is whether MR fenestration is equally effective as MR recession for PAET. All patients will receive complete ophthalmic and orthoptic assessment. Patients will be randomly allocated using a random table to one of two groups; Group 1 will receive conventional MR recession, and Group 2 will receive MR fenestration.
Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the western world. The beneficial effects of cardiac rehabilitation on the evolution of ischemic heart disease are known, but the effects of rehabilitation on the metabolic processes of the patients are so far poorly understood. Metabolomics is the qualitative/quantitative analysis of the body's metabolic responses to pathophysiological stimuli or genetic alterations. Metabolic changes caused by physical activity have been demonstrated in obese and diabetic patients and in athletes. Aim of the study is to evaluate whether cardiac rehabilitation after a first myocardial infarction induces changes in the metabolic state of patients, and whether these changes may be related with changes in the usual risk factors (i.e. glyco-lipidic profile, natriuretic peptides, homocysteine).
Rationale: Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (eGPA), eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) are airway diseases where eosinophils and interleukine-5 are involved in the pathogenesis. eGPA differs from the other diseases with respect to involvement of other organs. The investigators hypothesize that nasal microbiome dysbiosis with a central augmenting role for S. Aureus plays an important role in disease expression. The investigators expect that anti-interleukin-5 treatment with mepolizumab restores the changes of the nasal microbiome and immune responses to a healthy control phenotype. To study this, the nasal microbiome, the local and systemic immune response and the effect of mepolizumab treatment will be assessed.
