Filter by:Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) that have suffered a major anterior wall infarction or where coronary blood flow is less than normal in spite of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have a poor prognosis. There are today no medical treatments that specifically reduce risk in these patients. The acute inflammatory reaction in conjunction with a STEMI and reperfusion by PCI determines the final size of the infarction and the signals leading to left ventricular remodelling. This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of single intravenous injection with ATH3G10, a fully human IgG1 antibody against phosphorylcholine, in high-risk subjects with STEMI. ATH3G10 aims to reduce inflammation and thereby infarction size and remodeling.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of nasal theophylline irrigation in treating smell loss related to a viral respiratory infection. Half the participants will undergo nasal theophylline irrigation treatment while the other half will undergo placebo nasal irrigation with saline alone. All participants will have their sense of smell tested before and after 6 weeks of treatment. All participants will also be regularly asked about any potential side effects related to treatment. In addition, the first 10 participants will have their blood drawn to measure their theophylline level after 1 week of starting treatment to ensure it is not abnormally elevated.
10% of patients with hypertension potentially have the treatable condition - primary aldosteronism. Primary aldosteronism (PA) is caused by either bilateral adrenal disease (~40%), managed with lifelong medications; or unilateral disease (~60%), cured with laparoscopic surgery (adrenalectomy). Unfortunately, many patients with curable hypertension remain undiagnosed and consequently develop cardiac disease and strokes. The difficulty with identifying curable unilateral disease is due to adrenal vein sampling (AVS): an invasive, and technically-difficult procedure, with inconclusive results in 50% of patients. An alternative novel imaging, 11C-metomidate Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), can detect adrenal tumors, and concurrently confirm their over-activity. It is non-invasive, non-operator-dependent, and can identify more patients with curable hypertension. Investigators hypothesize that 11C-metomidate PET-CT can accurately identify patients with surgically-curable unilateral adrenal disease among hypertensive Asians with primary aldosteronism.
This phase II trial studies how well axitinib and avelumab work in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving axitinib and avelumab together may help to control adenoid cystic carcinoma.
This is a randomized clinical trial in which maintenance hemodialysis patients will be provided with salt restricted 'dialysis friendly' meals and compared to a control arm receiving usual care.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pro-ocular™ 1% topical gel administered twice daily for 70 days in reducing or eliminating symptoms and signs of chronic ocular GvHD.
The main purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab after a 16-week treatment period in adult and adolescent subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) not adequately controlled with topical treatments.
The study will compare PK, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SIBP-01 (Trastuzumab Biosimilar) in combination with Docetaxel and Carboplatin versus Herceptin® (CN-Trastuzumab) approved in the CN in combination with Docetaxel and Carboplatin in patients with operable HER2 positive, with early or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. The hypothesis to be tested in this study is the tpCR of patients with Cycle 6 of SIBP-01 is similar to CN-approved trastuzumab, using a 90% bilateral confidence interval between 0.74 and 1.5.
A case series of patient having mucoepidermoid carcinoma, had standard treatment protocol and surgeries and followup was performed and the patient postoperative quality of life and recurrent rate was recorded
The goal of the present randomized control trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel cognitive training approach using simulated games, where older adults will learn to flexibly deploy attentional control during working memory, for prevention of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Based on our extensive pilot work, we expect training-related enhancements in both neural and cognitive functions on a broad range of cognitive abilities due to the importance of attentional control and working memory in many types of cognition. These outcomes are widely applicable to the cognitive health and the quality of life of elderly Americans, and have further potential to offset degenerative processes common to normal aging.
