Filter by:Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by uncontrolled hyperinflammation which may develop on the background of several clinical conditions (e.g. autoimmune disease, infection, malignancy). Emapalumab (previously referred to as NI-0501) is a monoclonal antibody neutralizing interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), a key cytokine driving the inflammation and tissue damage seen in HLH. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of emapalumab in adult patients with secondary HLH.
The Livongo-Insulia Study App Pilot Study (LISA Pilot) is a 3-month, prospective, interventional study. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using the Livongo-Insulia Study App for individuals with type 2 diabetes using basal insulin. This will be assessed by measuring the impact of the Livongo-Insulia Study App on glycemic control for these individuals.
In the hospital, one out of every two elderly people is malnourished. This condition of undernutrition generally worsens during hospitalization, where the effects of polypathology and psychological distress are added. Muscle loss due to inadequate dietary intake, hypermetabolism and immobilization results in the onset or worsening of mobility disorders and functional decline. After hospitalization, 30-50% of elderly people hospitalized in emergency in medical departments have lost autonomy in daily life. Nutritional management and adaptive physical activity (APA) could have synergistic action to improve the nutritional status and mobility of elderly patients. The short duration of the average stay the acute geriatric units (10-15 days) is not enough to renew, nor to re-educate patients. It seems important to continue these actions at home. The implementation of programs combining nutrition and adapted physical activity (APA) at the hospital exit has not been studied to date. We formulate the hypothesis that in elderly people who are malnourished or at risk of undernutrition, after hospitalization, a personalized home intervention combining nutritional advice and appropriate physical activity will limit their loss of autonomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of itacitinib in participants with post-lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).
Anticoagulants are used to prevent thrombotic events in patients with predisposing factors. However, the use of such therapies is associated with bleeding complications, which can be a serious safety issue. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of such therapies based on data collected in clinical practice in order to generate relevant scientific data that could be used to support clinical and regulatory decisions. This is an open, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study that aims to prospectively record the clinical history of adult patients receiving anticoagulant treatment, irrespectively of the prescribed drug and the indication for its use.
This study assess the effectiveness of core stability exercises performed in subacute phase of stroke. Half of participants will receive conventional physiotherapy, while the other half will receive core stability exercises and core stability exercises plus transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).
Current standard of care for patients with metastatic Pancreatic Ductal AdenoCarcinoma (PDAC) is chemotherapy, preferential regimen being FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin). Due to more hematologic (neutropenia) and gastrointestinal toxicities, FOLFIRINOX is only administered in fit patients (age < 75 years, ECOG Performance status 0-1, and bilirubin < 1.5 ULN). However, elderly or frail patients represent more than half of patients with PDAC and are treated with gemcitabine monochemotherapy. Maintaining more than one drug (polychemotherapy) may improve survival and quality of life in this population. ALIX is a non-comparative randomized 2:1 phase II study. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of the polychemotherapy with XELOXIRI-3 versus gemcitabine as first-line chemotherapy in elderly or frail patients with locally advanced or metastatic PDAC.
The goal of this study is to estimate the efficacy of encorafenib and binimetinib as measured by radiographic response in recurrent high-grade primary brain tumors.
This is a randomized, open label, comparative, Phase II study to determine which dose of fecal microbiota transplant using Penn Microbiome Therapy (PMT) products is most effective in treating and preventing recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection (C diff).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravitreal injections of galegenimab (FHTR2163) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 8 weeks (Q8W) for approximately 76 weeks in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with sham control. After completing the study's last visit (Week 76), eligible participants will have the option to enroll in open-label extension study NCT04607148 (GR42558) and receive open-label galegenimab (FHTR2163) injections.
