Filter by:Phase 2, open-label study of nab-sirolimus in patients with recurrent high grade glioma following prior therapy and patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. nab-Sirolimus was administered as single agent or in combination therapies.
This is a multi-regional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of SHR-1314 in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
To determine if the epidural route provide an acceptable analgesia in spine surgeries and avoided the need for excessive IV analgesics. Also to determine whatever dexmedetomidine or fentanyl is more better neuroaxial adjuvant regarding providing early onset and prolonged analgesia and stable cardiorespiratory parameters
This study intended to assess the expiratory flow limitation (EFL) during tidal breath in patients intubated in intensive care unit (ICU) for moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). EFL is defined as the lack of increase in expiratory flow in response to an increase in alveolar-to-atmospheric pressure gradient. It reflects airway closure. Early studies have been done using the Negative expiratory pressure (NEP) technique, which is no longer available. We proposed in present study a new method, which consists of diverting manually the expiratory flow to the atmosphere by-passing the expiratory valve. We aimed at assessing EFL at positive expiratory pressure (PEP) 5 cmH2O in semi-recumbent then in supine position together with measurement of trans-pulmonary pressure and regional lung ventilation. Higher PEP levels will be tested, namely 10, 15 and a trans-pulmonary PEP of 3 cmH2O, in semi-recumbent position.
The value of this study is to compare between stented endotracheal tube with nelaton catheter and non stented tube as regard nasotracheal related complications as epistaxis and nasal cavity injury.
The Laryngeal Mask Airway is a supraglottic airway device that has been used in anesthesia for decades. Now the third generation (LMA Supreme) is commonly used. Recently the LMA Protector is manufactured. The primary hypothesis of this study is: the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the LMA Protector is 5 cmH2O higher than the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the LMA Supreme. Secondary outcome measures are: ease of insertion, fibreoptic position, ease of gastric tube placement. Differences between LMA Supreme and LMA Protector are: the LMA protector has a dual gastric drainage channel, LMA supreme one. For LMA protector, airway tube and cuff are 100% silicone, in LMA supreme the cuff is polivinylchloride. Silicone cuffs have shown to reduce risk of sore throat and achieve higher seal pressures. There are no aperture bars in the LMA protector (2 in LMA supreme). The tube of LMA protector is more flexible. An integrated cuff pressure indicator for single use airway management devices that enables continuous cuff pressure monitoring only in the LMA protector.
This study evaluates the efficacy of prophylaxis with oral vancomycin for preventing recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) in patients who have experienced at least one CDI episode in the last 180 days and are receiving antibiotics for a non CDI condition. Participants will be randomized to receive either placebo or oral vancomycin in addition to their prescribed antibiotic therapy.
Clinical preventive services (CPS) are fundamental to early disease detection and improvement of health outcomes but are often poorly understood and utilized by patients. Myhealthfinder is a web-based tool developed by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (https://healthfinder.gov). This study tests the "prescription" of myhealthfinder to engage patients in CPS, improve patient-clinician communication and increase uptake of CPS.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, Phase 2 study, with an optional open-label extension, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of RPh201 in subjects with mild to moderate AD who are eligible for enrollment in this study. Subject participation will include a Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and an Optional Open-Label Extension. The Screening Phase will be up to 4 weeks prior to randomization. Both the subject and their study partner(s) will sign an informed consent form (ICF). At Visit 2, Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to RPh201 or placebo. The Treatment Phase will last for 6 months post-randomization, or until subject withdrawal from the study, whichever comes first. The Optional Open-Label Extension will begin once a subject has completed the Treatment Phase and the subject and their study partner(s) have signed an ICF to continue on the study. The Optional Open-Label Extension will continue for 6 months, or until subject withdrawal from the study, whichever comes first. Subjects who do not participate in the Optional Open-Label Extension will be asked to return for an optional post-study visit 6 months after the end of the Treatment Phase. Subjects may participate in an optional biomarker sub-study. Up to 15 subjects may also participate in an optional FDG-PET sub-study during their study participation. Separate informed consent will be required for both of these sub-studies.
Primary Objective: To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of SAR247799 on macrovascular endothelial function of the brachial artery using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Secondary Objective: - To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of SAR247799 on microvascular endothelial function using laser Doppler perfusion monitoring in patients with T2DM. - To assess the safety profile of SAR247799 in patients with T2DM. - To assess the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of SAR247799 in patients with T2DM.
