Filter by:This clinical trial studies the safety of a real-time tele-exercise resistance training (training done using a tablet) in maintaining skeletal muscle, strength, physical function, and health-related quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer who are receiving combination chemotherapy or have undergone surgery for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Tele-exercise resistance training may improve physical function and quality of life in patients with pancreatic cancer.
To assess the effect of FDY-5301 on cardiovascular mortality and acute heart failure events in subjects with an anterior STEMI undergoing pPCI.
This study assesses the performance status in stage I-III triple negative breast cancer patients who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Information collected in this study may help doctors learn if movement and fitness trackers can be used to predict side effects in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the surgical safety and feasibility of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for participants with previously untreated locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will also evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and safety of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment, followed by adjuvant atezolizumab plus tiragolumab or adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy.
The primary hypothesis is that the objective response rate (ORR) with nab-paclitaxel and nivolumab will be significantly higher than the historical control (ORR 30%). The KEY secondary hypothesis is that the median PFS with nab-paclitaxel and nivolumab will be significantly longer than the historical control (median PFS 3.6 months).
To better characterize the neonatal hypotonia associated with in utero exposure to antidepressants, so far limited to clinical cases, we will perform an observational retrospective pharmacovigilance study, using two databases. First, disproportionality analysis in Vigibase®, the World Health Organization global database, will be perform between antidepressant drugs and neonatal hypotonia . Second, narratives from the French National Pharmacovigilance Database will be extracted.
This is a first-in-human Phase 1a/1b multicenter, open-label oncology study designed to evaluate the safety and anti-cancer activity of NX-2127 in patients with advanced B-cell malignancies.
Background: Addressing behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms of Veterans with dementia and serious mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia can be challenging for staff in VA long-term care settings, called Community Living Centers or CLCs. These behaviors of distress (agitation, aggression, and mood disturbance) are not just associated with staff stress and burnout; they also hasten residents' functional decline, decrease quality of life, and increase mortality. Staff training in non-pharmacological interventions can be effective. Yet systems barriers, task-based care models, and time constraints often result in staff employing "quicker," less effective strategies. Montessori Approaches to Person-Centered Care for VA (MAP-VA)- a staff training, intervention, and delivery toolkit- developed in collaboration with VA operational partners, Veterans, and frontline CLC staff is positioned to respond to this challenge. The investigators' prior work shows probable impacts on CLC quality indicators at the individual and unit level (e.g., psychotropic medications, depressive symptoms, weight loss, falls, pain). The goal of this study is to evaluate the MAP-VA program and necessary supports for a successful implementation at 8 VA CLCs. Significance/ Innovation: VHA's Modernization Plan focuses on empowering front-line staff to lead quality improvement efforts like the ones taught through MAP-VA. MAP-VA is distinct from existing interventions in its: 1) application to Veterans with a range of diagnoses and cognitive abilities; 2) emphasis on pairing practical skill-building for staff with overcoming system-level barriers that inhibit person-centered care; and 3) engagement of all staff rather than a reliance on provider-level champions. Yet, MAP-VA is a complex intervention that requires participation of multiple stakeholder groups, making implementation facilitation necessary. To date, no studies have evaluated MAP implementation success in operational settings (community or VA) and sustainability is rarely examined. Aims: This 4-year study will examine both the effectiveness of the MAP-VA program on resident outcomes, person-centered care practices, and organizational culture as well as an evaluation of the implementation barriers to adopting MAP-VA in a sustainable way over a 12 month period. Staff and residents at 8 CLCs will participate in the study.
This will be a nonrandomized, single arm feasibility study with the primary goal of evaluating the safety profile of the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in patients with advanced/metastatic HCC with Child-Pugh B7 and B8 liver disease who have received no prior systemic therapy.
Coronary microcirculatory dysfunction has been known to be prevalent even after successful revascularization of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is significant prognostic indicator in STEMI patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although current gold-standard method to assess microvascular damage or dysfunction in STEMI patients is CMR and assessment of MVO, previous study presented that index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in culprit vessel of STEMI patients showed significant association with the presence of MVO in CMR and the risk of cardiac death or heart failure admission. Nevertheless, the need for pressure-temperature sensor wire and hyperemic agents significantly limits adoption of IMR in daily practice. Recent technical development enabled angiographic derivation of IMR without pressure wire, hyperemic agents, or thermodilution method. In this regard, the current study will evaluate the feasibility of functional angiography-derived IMR (angio-IMR) in the evaluation of MVO after successful primary PCI for STEMI.
