Filter by:Pulmonary abnormalities are present in up to 60% of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and up to 10% of the patients will develop clinical interstitial lung disease (ILD). Recent data indicate that inhibition of Janus kinase is beneficial for this extra-articular manifestation. Our goal is to determine whether tofacitinib is an effective and safe treatment, compared to standard-of-care methotrexate, for subclinical and clinical ILD in patients with early RA. The study also explores disease mechanisms in lungs and joints, to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and response to treatment of RA-ILD.
The investigators wish to compare the brain distribution of GABA(A) receptors and GABA levels in young adult males with Fragile X Syndrome compared to idiopathic intellectual developmental disorder. The radiopharmaceutical [18F]flumazenil has been used to study GABA(A) receptor distribution in other genetic syndromes with autistic features; however, despite overwhelming evidence supporting the importance of the GABAergic system in FXS, no clinical investigation of this system in human FXS has been reported in the literature. Therefore, this study will provide the first in vivo comprehensive examination of the GABAergic system in FXS using hybrid positron emission tomography/ magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI).
This is a phase 2 single-arm, open-label determining efficacy of Neo-adjuvant Abemaciclib and Fulvestrant in subjects with Hormone receptor positive patients with localized non-metastatic breast cancer who develop local recurrence while on adjuvant endocrine therapy with molecular evidence of endocrine resistance.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0598 Otic Solution. This study also evaluated the efficacy of ASP0598 otic solution.
To determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TBio-6517 when administered by direct injection into tumor(s) or intravenously and when combined with pembrolizumab in patients with solid tumors (RIVAL-01).
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of United States (U.S.) cancer deaths in women. Immunotherapy drugs use a person's immune system to fight cancer. Researchers want to see if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can help treat breast cancer that has gone to places in the body outside of the breast (metastasized). Objective: To learn if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can shrink tumors in people with metastatic breast cancer. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older who have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptors (ER)-/progesterone receptors (PR)-/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ Breast Cancer (HER2+BC) Design: Participants will be screened with: medical history physical exam disease confirmation (or tumor biopsy) tumor scans (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or bone scan) blood and urine tests electrocardiogram (measures the hearts electrical activity) echocardiogram (creates images of the heart). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups. The drugs they get will be based on the group they are in. Drugs are given in cycles. Each cycle = 3 weeks. Participants will be seen in clinic every 3 weeks, prior to the start of a new cycle. At each visit, participants will have an clinical exam, have blood drawn and will be asked about any side effects. They will repeat the screening tests during the study. New scans, like a computed tomography (CT) scan, will be done every 6 weeks to see if the treatment is working. All participants will get Bavarian Nordic (BN)-Brachyury. It is 2 different vaccines - a prime and a boost. First the priming vaccines, called MVA-BN-Brachyury help to jump start the immune system. Next the boosting vaccines, called fowlpox virus (FPV)-Brachyury help to keep the immune system going. They are injected under the skin during different cycles. All participants will get M7824 (also known as Bintrafusp alfa), which is an immunotherapy drug. Some participants will get a commonly used drug is HER2+ breast cancer called adotrastuzumab emtansine (also known as T-DM1DM1 or kadcyla). For both, a needle is inserted into a vein to give the drugs slowly. Some participants will take Entinostat weekly by mouth. It is in tablet form. Participants will keep a pill diary. Participants will continue on their assigned treatment until their cancer grows, they develop side effects or want to stop treatment. About 28 days after treatment ends, participants will have a follow-up visit or a telephone call. Then they will be contacted every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months for 1 year. They may have more tumor scans or continue treatment.
As a primary exploratory study, this study aims to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of intravitreal Conbercept injection in UME, and to explore the correlation between inflammatory factors like VEGF and the responsiveness to treatment.
PrimECC is a colloid priming solution for cardiopulmonary bypass/ extracorporeal circulation (ECC) based on Ringers Lactate, supplmeneted with Dextran 40 and Dextran 1. In a previous RCT comparing PrimECC with crystalloid priming fluid, patients in the PrimECC group experienced less hemolysis, less tubular cell injury and beneficial effect on the fluid balance. This study will investigate if, in a population at high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), priming the ECC circuit with PrimECC instead of crystalloid solution will lead to a reduction of postoperative AKI. The hypothesis is that PrimECC, compared to crystalloid prime, will reduce postoperative AKI. The study is a Swedish multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial. The trial will include 366 patients aged ≥18 years, scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, with an "Acute kidney injury risk score" ≥30% according to Birnie et al. (2014). The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of postoperative AKI of any stage according to the KDIGO creatinine criteria (serum-creatinine increase ≥ 27 μmol/l within 48 h or ≥ 50 % increase from baseline) within 96 hours after arrival to the ICU. Secondary outcomes are between-group differences in hemolysis, tubular cell injury (NAG-excretion), estimated GFR, and incidence of AKI of different stages according to the KDIGO creatinine criteria. In addition, differences in CNS (Tau, NFL, NSE, and S100B) and cardiac (TNT/TNI) injury markers will be investigated.
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) seems to be is an important marker for immune checkpoint inhibitors efficacy. This study aims to assess the feasibility of the TMB assessment in first-line lung cancer in routine practice both on biopsy and surgical tumor samples. Results will be an element of discussion for the generalization of the TMB implementation in cancer centers.
This is a phase I/II trial designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with urinary tract infections.
