Filter by:The phase I portion of this study is designed for children or adolescents and young adults (AYA) with a diagnosis of a solid tumor that has recurred (come back after treatment) or is refractory (never completely went away). The trial will test 2 combinations of therapy and participants will be randomly assigned to either Arm A or Arm B. The purpose of the phase I study is to determine the highest tolerable doses of the combinations of treatment given in each Arm. In Arm A, children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors will receive 2 medications called Onivyde and talazoparib. Onivyde works by damaging the DNA of the cancer cell and talazoparib works by blocking the repair of the DNA once the cancer cell is damaged. By damaging the tumor DNA and blocking the repair, the cancer cells may die. In Arm B, children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors will receive 2 medications called Onivyde and temozolomide. Both of these medications work by damaging the DNA of the cancer call which may cause the tumor(s) to die. Once the highest doses are reached in Arm A and Arm B, then "expansion Arms" will open. An expansion arm treats more children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors at the highest doses achieved in the phase I study. The goal of the expansion arms is to see if the tumors go away in children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors. There will be 3 "expansion Arms". In Arm A1, children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (excluding Ewing sarcoma) will receive Onivyde and talazoparib. In Arm A2, children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors, whose tumors have a problem with repairing DNA (identified by their doctor), will receive Onivyde and talazoparib. In Arm B1, children and AYAs with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (excluding Ewing sarcoma) will receive Onivyde and temozolomide. Once the highest doses of medications used in Arm A and Arm B are determined, then a phase II study will open for children or young adults with Ewing sarcoma that has recurred or is refractory following treatment received after the initial diagnosis. The trial will test the same 2 combinations of therapy in Arm A and Arm B. In the phase II, a participant with Ewing sarcoma will be randomly assigned to receive the treatment given on either Arm A or Arm B.
The period of about a month after the discharge of acute heart failure patients is defined as a transition time. During this period, the patient has a high mortality rate and a readmission rate because the patient is not stabilized. In the United States and Europe, the readmission rate is more than 25% within 30 days, and the mortality rate within 30 days after discharge is three times that of patients with chronic heart failure. The TRANS-HF is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, controlled study, which enrolls patients with acute heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The objective of TRANS-HF is to improve GAI at six months through three interventions: pre-discharge checklist, heart failure education, and telephone monitoring before the first outpatient visit.
This study will be conducted as a randomized trial of the TransAeris system for the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) in patients identified prior to surgery to be at greater risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).
A feasibility study is to assess the preliminary safety and performance of the Xeltis hemodialysis access (aXess) graft.
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Belantamab Mafodotin, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is increasingly identified as an important cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality, especially of SCD, in a younger population. Although there are no epidemiological data available, the investigators' experience is that in the North Indian region, ACM is rare outside our regions. ACM is also an understudied cardiac disorder in the South-Asian region. An ethnic nonmigratory population inhabits the two regions, and consanguineous marriages are common. Based on these observations, the investigators firmly believe that there may be a founder gene in our populations responsible for the increased incidence of ACM. Our project includes a thorough phenotypic analysis ((ECG, Holter, and echocardiography) in the ACM patients and their first-degree relatives; cardiac MRI and high resolution endocardial bipolar and unipolar voltage mapping (using HD grid catheter) in the patients. The patient provided blood for the extraction of DNA will first undergo target panel sequencing for 20 known classic right-dominant ACM and left-dominant ACM. If this is negative for known pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants but identified novel variants of uncertain significance (VUS), then co-segregation analysis in family members will be performed. This technique can provide helpful information to reclassify VUSs. If both these are negative, then whole-exome 'trio' analysis will be performed, whch includes the proband and two family members, to triangulate from all 20,000 genes to a list of candidates for further interrogation. The investigators wish to provide comprehensive answers to the research question by combining the genetic analysis with phenotypic evaluation.
Corneal edema is the most common indication for corneal transplantation, accounting for approximately 70% of penetrating keratoplasty (PK), and 100% of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) procedures annually. There is currently no disease-modifying treatment for corneal edema. Topical treatments like hypertonic saline are not effective on a long-term basis. For those with advanced disease, where edema and vision loss are not controlled by topical treatment, the only option is a corneal transplant. A potential approach to avoidance of the risks of corneal transplantation is to inject cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) into the anterior chamber of the eye. This approach may avoid surgery by re-populating the inner most aspect of the cornea with functioning endothelial cells. Emmecell has developed a treatment based on technology integrating biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles with cultured HCECs to treat corneal edema in a minimally invasive way. The primary objective of this phase 1, prospective, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of EO2002 with and without endothelial brushing (EB) or Descemet Stripping (DS) in eyes with corneal edema secondary to corneal endothelial dysfunction that qualify for surgery involving full-thickness corneal transplantation or EK.
A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, pre-market, clinical study designed to provide safety and performance data regarding the use of the Adagio Medical VT Cryoablation System in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia.
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed or amplified in 10-20% of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Trastuzumab combined with fluorouracil and platinum has been established as first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer. The role of trastuzumab in second-line treatment for HER2-positive gastric cancer has not yet been addressed. Here, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of adding trastuzumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel combination as a second-line treatment in HER2-positive gastric cancer progressed after trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of the RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine in preventing Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in adults ≥60 years of age following a single dose of the RSVPreF3 OA vaccine and following annual revaccination doses in Northern Hemisphere (NH) and in Southern Hemisphere (SH). This study will also assess if the vaccine is safe and induces an immune response.
