Filter by:The goal of this multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy. The main question it aims to answer are whether intravenous lidocaine reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy. Participants will be given intravenous lidocaine infusion in lidocaine group or placebo in control group.
ELOS is a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled, two-armed parallel group, phase II multicentre trial in local advanced stage III, IVA/B head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx or hypopharynx (LHNSCC) with PD-L1-expression within tumor tissue biopsy, calculated as CPS ≥ 1 curable by total laryngectomy. Induction chemotherapy (IC) with Docetaxel and Cisplatin (TP) followed by radiation will be compared to additional PD-1 inhibition. Patients will be selected after short induction early response evaluation after the first cycle IC (IC-1) aiming on larynx organ-preservation by additional 2 cycles IC followed by radiotherapy (69.6 Gy) for responders achieving endoscopic estimated tumor surface shrinkage (ETSS) ≥ 30%. Nonresponders (ETSS < 30% or progressing disease) will receive total laryngectomy and selective neck dissection followed by postoperative radiation or chemoradiation according to the recommendation of the clinics multidisciplinary tumor board. However, Patients randomized into the intervention arm starting day 1 will receive 200 mg Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) i.v. in 3-week cycle (q3w) for 17 cycles (12 months). Treatment with pembrolizumab will continue in the experimental arm regardless of ETSS status after IC-1 in both responders and laryngectomized nonresponders, independent from subsequent decision on adjuvant therapy after TL.
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome(OHS) is characterized by daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing without other causes of hypoventilation in individuals with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. It is stated that obesity is at the basis of the metabolic changes seen in individuals diagnosed with OHS. Also sedentary lifestyle habits, which are common in obese individuals, cause the risk of sarcopenia due to loss of muscle strength and mass, accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, and decreased exercise capacity. Reduced exercise capacity due to obesity has been shown in the literature to strongly interact with mortality risk. As a result of obesity and all this negative picture, impaired emotional state and decreased quality of life are observed in individuals. Simultaneously, sleep parameters are also negatively affected. In particular, increased adipose tissue leads to loss of muscle mass and strength, increased risk of sarcopenia and sleep-related problems. The association of obesity and sarcopenia is referred to as 'sarcopenic obesity'. Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity. The concept of sarcopenic obesity has recently taken its place in the literature. In particular, there are very few studies on its relationship with sleep parameters. However, while obesity is the basis of OHS, there are no studies on the presence and effects of sarcopenic obesity in this patient group. Based on this point, we aim to investigate the effects of sarcopenic obesity on sleep parameters, exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with OHS.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to assess if prenatal vaccine education and in-office vaccination administration for non-birthing partners of pregnant patients increases Tdap vaccination rates compared to usual care. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To assess whether compared to standard prenatal care, targeted prenatal education regarding Tdap vaccination recommendations with and without in office vaccination opportunities improves Tdap uptake among non-birthing partners of pregnant patients. - To assess whether non-birthing partners presenting for Tdap vaccination are willing to accept dual vaccination with Tdap and influenza. Participants will receive direct verbal and written education at the time of enrollment on cocooning and recommendation for partner Tdap vaccination prior to delivery with or without the option to receive Tdap at their convenience at the WIH obstetric care clinic. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare "Upfront Education" and "Upfront Education and Vaccination Administration" to "Usual care" to see if education and/or the offer for vaccination in the office increases Tdap vaccine acceptance for non-birthing partners.
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical and antibacterial efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of the drug Fluorothiazinone compared to placebo to prevent nosocomial gram-negative bacterial infections with participation of patients on mechanical ventilation. The main objectives of this study are: - Evaluation of the clinical and antibacterial efficacy of the drug Fluorothiazinone in combination with standard measures for the prevention of nosocomial infections compared to placebo in combination with standard measures for the prevention of nosocomial infections for the prevention of nosocomial infections caused by bacterial gram-negative flora in patients on mechanical ventilation. - Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of the drug Fluorothiazinone in patients on mechanical ventilation. - Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics (in whole blood) of the drug Fluorothiazinone with a single daily dose of 2400 mg/day. Researchers will compare results for the treatment and the placebo arms.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MY008211A in adult patients with PNH, showing signs of active hemolysis.
This multicenter, prospective, cohort study enrolled patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who had been treated with other novel endocrine or systemic regimens (excluding patients treated with pre-order chemotherapy alone or bicalutamide); To observe the efficacy and safety of rezvilutamide alone or in combination with abiraterone in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients with PSA progression following prior sequence therapy.
A multicenter, open-label, prospective study to investigate immune boost response changes in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
The goal of this observational study is to learn the how to determine the mean arterial pressure(MAP) or blood pressure level to be maintained during non-cardiac surgery for optimal brain health in patients above the age of 60 undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a way to tailor the blood pressure to be maintained in such patients during surgery for optimal brain health using non-invasive monitors that check the brains electrical activity, the electroencephalogram(EEG) monitor, and the brain's blood oxygen levels, the cerebral oximetry(CO) monitor? - How much does this optimal blood pressure level vary between patients? Participants will be asked to: - Complete a questionnaire at the time they enroll into the study, as well as a daily questionnaire to help determine their level of thinking and brain health. This questionnaire will be administered by a member of the study team. - They will also have an EEG and CO monitoring sticker placed on their foreheads. This will be connected to a monitor that will collect this data just before, during, and after their surgery. The data collected through these monitors will help us with our study goals.
Evaluate feasibility and acceptability of recruiting Black and Hispanic families for an open label clinical trial of micronutrients while collecting real-time parent-reported child behavior data and collecting at-home biospecimens to explore their potential as biomarkers, in a study of pediatric ADHD.
