Filter by:The Just TRAC It! study (Transitioning Responsibly to Adult Care using smart phone technology) is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the impact of using smart phone technology in combination with the nurse led transition intervention, versus the current standard of care (nurse led transition intervention including MyHealth Passport), on preparing adolescents with chronic cardiac disease to successfully transition from pediatric to adult cardiology care. "Just TRAC it!" is a mobile-health intervention designed to teach youth to manage their health using existing functions on their mobile devices. We propose to conduct a nurse-led intervention that encourages adolescents to use "Just TRAC it!" while addressing the healthcare transition needs of 16-18 year olds.
Subjects will be screened for study eligibility within 14 days prior to enrolling in this study. Subjects with 2 treatment areas (bilateral buttocks) with moderate or severe levels of cellulite as independently assessed by the subject using the Patient Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (PR-PCSS) and by the Investigator using the Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS) will be eligible. The eligibility of the buttocks will be confirmed on Day 1. Once the eligibility of the buttocks is confirmed, subjects will be randomly assigned to a treatment group (EN3835 0.84 mg per buttock or placebo) in a 1:1 ratio within an investigational site. Each subject will receive a treatment course which consists of up to 3 treatment visits (sessions), separated by 21 days (ie, Days 1, 22, and 43). Each treatment visit will consist of 12 injections (0.3 mL per injection of EN3835 0.07 mg/injection or placebo; 0.84 mg in 3.6 mL per buttock) in each of the two buttocks for a total volume of 7.2 mL (1.68 mg). Selection of dimples to be treated in the buttocks will be at the discretion of the Investigator. End of study will occur at study day 71.
This is a single-arm, open label, Phase II study of Roflumilast in stable-state non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis subjects. Bronchiectasis refers to a suppurative lung condition characterized by pathological dilatation of bronchi. The predominant aetiology of bronchiectasis in the Western population is related to cystic fibrosis (CF), which is genetically determined. Bronchiectasis due to other causes are generally grouped under the term "non-CF bronchiectasis", which accounts for practically all cases that are seen commonly in Hong Kong and many other Chinese populations. The main pathogenesis of non-CF bronchiectasis involves airway inflammation, abnormal mucus clearance and bacterial colonization, resulting in progressive airway destruction and distortion. The current treatment strategies mainly focus on targeting the key elements in the pathogenesis of non-CF bronchiectasis. In patients with bronchiectasis, there is also neutrophilic inflammation as in COPD. It is hypothesized that roflumilast can improve airway inflammation, sputum volume and sputum inflammatory markers in patients with bronchiectasis. This study aims to investigate the effect of short-term (4-week) treatment with roflumilast on neutrophilic airway inflammation in stable-state non-CF bronchiectasis.
The primary indication for superior hypogastric (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Percutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. Because of the close proximity of SHP to major vessels, and structures like vertebral column (for posterior) and guts (for anterior) are being on the way of the needle, these percutaneous blocks are associated with serious complications. Performing SHP during hysterectomy surgery, gives advantages to rule out these complications by exploring the whole intraabdominal anatomy. The investigators' theory is to find out if SHP blocks (during pelvic surgery) are useful for decreasing VAS pain scores and opioid consumption for postoperative pain.
In this study, we try to evaluate the effect of using ALA as an adjuvant treatment in patients scheduled for pulsed radiofrequency treatment (PRFT) of the affected dorsal root ganglion (DRG) for treatment of Lumbo-Sacral radicular pain.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if durvalumab and trametinib can help to control microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Durvalumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of previously treated advanced bladder cancer. Trametinib is FDA approved in combination with another drug called dabrafenib for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K. It is investigational to use durvalumab and trametinib to treat MSS colorectal cancer. Up to 56 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy is usually performed through the classic spoon grasper. Recently, a new hysteroscopic grasper with knurled terminal end and cutting jaws was designed, in order to improve feasibility of the procedure, reduce its duration and the discomfort for the patients. This study aims to compare the outcomes of the three hysteroscopic graspers for endometrial biopsy in post-menopausal patients.
The purpose of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that chronic supplementation with a dairy-based beverage containing a mixture of blueberry, green tea, and cocoa flavonoids (non-nutritive natural plant compounds) will ameliorate exercise-related changes in gut permeability and inflammation. In a previous feeding study in humans, (NCT02728570) a high flavonoid diet (flavonoids at 340 mg/1000kcal) was effective in mitigating gut permeability and inflammation in overweight and obese adults compared to a low flavonoid diet (10mg/1000 kcal). To test this hypothesis, 20 trained cyclists will complete a randomized crossover study with supplementation for 2 weeks with a dairy-based sports beverage containing either a high flavonoid (approximately 620 mg) or low flavonoid (approximately 5mg) beverage. After the two week intervention, cyclists will complete a 1 hour cycling trial (45 min at 65% VO2 max then 15 minute time trial). The primary endpoints will be gut permeability as measured by plasma intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and the differential sugar test. Secondary endpoints will include gut inflammation (measured via fecal calprotectin), plasma cytokines (IL-6, IL-10 and TNFα) and plasma LPS. In addition, the distance completed in the time trial is a secondary endpoint.
This study enrolled participants with previously-treated advanced or inoperable gastric cancer who have responded to first line platinum therapy into two treatment arms. In Arm A participants received BGB-290; in Arm B participants received placebo. The purpose of this study is to show that BGB-290 (pamiparib) (versus placebo) will improve progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with advanced or inoperable gastric cancer.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the phenotype in a sub-population of adults with severe primary immunodeficiency with lymphoproliferation and neutropenia and to decipher the possible pathways involved, especially under the hypothesis of a CTLA4/LRBA schema
