Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if nVNS will decrease autonomic symptom intensity (COMPASS-31 and Child Functional Disability Inventory) in adolescent patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in comparison to standard recovery STEPS management.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of hypertonic saline nebulization with adrenaline nebulization in the treatment of acute bronchiolitis in children. Main aim is to evaluate the following in both group of patients 1. Improvement in Wood-Downes clinical score (WDF score) in bronchiolitis 2. Length of Hospitalization
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab compared with placebo plus atezolizumab administered to participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.
This is a prospective observational study using whole genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate whether new strains (other than the initially identified strain(s)) of M. avium are responsible for persistently culture positive sputum during treatment (refractory disease), or the reversion to culture positive sputum after prior conversion to negative. The study will further investigate for differences between participants living in the Toronto/York region versus participants living elsewhere. The primary goal of this prospective observational study is to understand why some patients with M. avium lung disease have persistent or recurrent M. avium in their sputum despite treatment. The aim is to understand whether it is usually due to treatment failure or new infection.
This is a first-in-human study of KK2269. Part 1 and Part 2 will be conducted as a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study. Participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which no standard therapy is available will be enrolled in Part 1. In Part 1, the primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of KK2269. In Part 2, only participants with gastric adenocarcinoma, GEJ adenocarcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, or NSCLC who have experienced at least one systemic therapy will be enrolled. In Part 2, the primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of KK2269 in combination with docetaxel and to determine the recommended dose(s) and dose interval(s) of KK2269 in combination with docetaxel for subsequent studies. In both Part 1 and Part 2, participants who refuse to undergo standard therapy are also eligible.
This trial aimed to test internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention to induce a meaning-making process in cancer patients following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). ACT includes identifying personal values and engaging in activities consistent with these values, developing acceptance, as well as focusing on the present moment or performing activities with greater awareness. In total, 192 patients following the first (autologous or allogeneic) HCT will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to either the ACT intervention or an education session. Participants in both conditions will take part in 14-day training (about 5-10 minutes a day). The outcomes will be measured at baseline, during the intervention, immediately, 1 month, and 3 months after the intervention. Moreover, 6-9 additional participants will be randomly assigned to pre-intervention measurement length (1-3 weeks) before completing ACT intervention, followed by 7-day observations at the 2nd and 3rd post-intervention measure. The researchers hypothesized that ACT intervention would foster a meaning-making process and thus reduce distress induced by the discrepancy between global and situational meaning as compared to education.
Histologically, BPH is a benign proliferative process involving both epithelial and stromal elements and is characterised by progressive enlargement of the prostate. Symptom complex including increased frequency of urination, sudden feeling of urge to urinate, nocturia, difficulty in urinating, feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, decreased flow rate and intermittent urination are called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The most important cause of LUTS in men is BPH. Many structural and physiological changes occur in the lower urinary system with bladder outlet obstruction. Detrusor hypertrophy and bladder hyperactivity may occur due to bladder outlet obstruction. Although the density of afferent and efferent nerves in the bladder decreases after urethral obstruction, enlargement of their trunks indicates that changes occur in these nerves. In addition, changes also occur in the neural pathways of the central nervous system following lower urinary tract obstruction. Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain derived neurotropin factor (BDNF) are trophic proteins that act as retrograde messengers between peripheral effector tissue and the nerves that innervate it. In peripheral tissues, the source of NGF and BDNF is presumed to be the target tissues innervated by nerves. Smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, astrocytes and other cells synthesise NGF and BDNF in culture medium. Many potential stimuli that increase NGF in the lower urinary system have been identified. These are denervation, inflammation and mechanical tension. This information has led to the idea that autonomic innervation changes in the bladder may be related with changing NGF levels. Altered afferent and adrenergic innervation in the obstructed bladder increases the possibility that NGF plays an important role in this neural growth because this type of nerves are highly sensitive to this neurotrophin. In this study, we investigated NGF ve BDNF levels in urine samples obtained before surgery (Transurethral Prostate Resection, Prostate Enucleation with Holmium Laser and Prostate Enucleation with Thulium Fibre Laser) and after removal of obstruction in patients with bladder outlet obstruction secondary to benign prostatic enlargement using ELISA method, We aimed to determine the role of NGF and BDNF in bladder outlet obstruction and bladder changes secondary to obstruction by comparing with control patients without obstruction.
This study is designed to observed CBD stones cases with high recurrence risks applying IDUS or not during ERCP. Patients with CBD stone high recurrence risks were enrolled in this study, and prospectively randomized into IUDS group and control group during lithotomy. Operation time, radiation time, hospitalization cost, retain of nasobiliary tube, deployment of stent were recorded. Symptoms and conditions after ERCP were also followed up including blood amylase, routine blood test, abdominal pain, post-ERCP pancreatitis, resection of gallbladder, recurrence of CBD stone and onset of cholangitis.
This phase II trial compares the impact of subcutaneous (SC) nivolumab given in an in-home setting to an in-clinic setting on cancer care and quality of life. Currently, most drug-related cancer care is conducted in clinic type centers or hospitals which may isolate patients from family, friends and familiar surroundings for many hours per day. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. Traveling to and from medical facilities costs time, money, and effort and can be a disadvantage to patients living in rural areas, those with low incomes or poor access to transport. Studies have shown that cancer patients often feel more comfortable and secure being cared for in their own home environments. SC nivolumab in-home treatment may be safe, tolerable and/or effective when compared to in-clinic treatment and may reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life in cancer patients.
The goal of the Dose Escalation phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or preliminary recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT3447 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The goal of the Expansion phase of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and the preliminary antitumor activity of NKT3447 in adult subjects with cyclin E1 (CCNE1) amplified ovarian cancer at the RDEs selected in Dose Escalation and to determine the preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
