Filter by:In this study, subjects that do not have Hepatitis C virus (HCV) will be transplanted with livers or kidneys from donors who do have HCV. Medications that are used to treat HCV will be given to the study subjects shortly after transplant to protect them from developing the problems HCV can cause to the liver.
The aim of this case-controlled observational cross-sectional study is to investigate the test-retest reliability, validity and clinical utility of a rapid robotic assessment of finger proprioception using a passive gauge position matching tasks in MS and stroke subjects. Session 1 Informed consent Descriptive measures Session 2 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x) Session 3 Clinical testing Robotic assessment (3x)
The Primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZSP1603 and the Secondary objective is to estimate the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters after orally administered once daily of ZSP1603.
This is an international, multicentre, parallel-group, event-driven, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in HFpEF patients, evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo, given once daily in addition to background regional standard of care therapy, including treatments to control co-morbidities, in reducing the composite of CV death or heart failure events.
Purpose: Evaluate the impact of cleaning the bathroom environment on the severity of eczema. Determine if part of the efficacy of bleach baths may be in cleaning the bathroom. Record data on the process in order to improve future interventions. Participants: Patients and families with eczema Procedures (methods): - Obtain baseline eczema severity scores and bacterial cultures from bathtubs - Randomize subjects to receive (1) a bathtub culture alone; (2) a culture and bathroom cleaning; and (3) a culture, cleaning, and bleach baths. - Measure changes in eczema severity scores over 4 weeks - Qualitatively evaluate the process by participants and investigators
This pilot phase I trial studies how well durvalumab given with or without metformin works in treating participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Metformin, a drug typically used for the treatment of diabetes, may help to reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues. It is not yet known whether giving durvalumab with or without metformin may work better in treating participants with head and neck squamous carcinoma.
This study will explore whether financial incentives, reminders, information about HIV/AIDS and its treatment and anti-stigma counseling help improve anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV infected individuals in a resource-limited environment. The interventions will be randomized in the study population in a cross-cutting design, with a control group, a financial incentive treatment group, a reminders treatment group, a treatment group that receives both the financial incentive and reminder interventions. In addition, there will be an information treatment group, a stigma-relieving treatment group and a group that receives both information and stigma-relieving interventions. The primary outcomes of interest for this study will be the adherence to ART, measured by attendance rates at clinic appointments and refill collection rates.
Stroke is a common disease. It is increasingly managed in non-specialized centers. The volume of the lesion, evaluated on the diffusion weighted imaging, is a prognostic factor of clinical progression and is useful for the treatment decision. There is therefore a real interest in having a reliable software able to detect the stroke and evaluate the volume of the cerebral infarction. The aim is to provide rapid information to the interventional neuroradiologist and optimize the care of the patient. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score currently used to predict response to treatment divides the territory of the middle cerebral artery. It has a few limitations, it is unreproducible and concerns only the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Manual volumetry is a long and also not very reproducible technique. The aim of our study is to evaluate the reproducibility and diagnostic performances of the automated segmentation software based on the diffusion weighted imaging sequence, and to compare it to manual and semi-automatic measurements.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in patients with stage IV extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.
- Background/Rationale: Epidemiological data about Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDD) in Kuwait is needed to better understand peculiarities and to compare them with other regions and ethnicity. - Study hypothesis: PIDD is relatively common in Kuwait compared to populations from different geographic areas. The distribution of PIDD in Kuwait is different from other geographic areas with more severe forms being more frequent. - Brief inclusion and exclusion criteria of study participants: PIDD patients presented at different clinics/hospital in Kuwait. Patients with secondary immunodeficiencies (drug induced, virus induced, and immunodeficiency associated with metabolic disorders... ect), will be excluded - Estimated sample size of the study: All patients who were registered in KNPIDR since 2004 will be included in the study along with the new patients who will be recruited during the study period. - Primary objectives: - Determine the prevalence and frequency of different PIDD in Kuwait - Identify clinical presentation patterns for PIDD in Kuwait - Identify natural history of PIDD in Kuwait - Help to asses epidemiology of PIDD in Kuwait - Determine particularities about PIDD affecting the population in Kuwait - Determine the health impact of PIDD in Kuwait - Development of strategies to improve the care and the quality of life of patients with PIDD
