Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of weight reduction through a diet management application and an intelligent weight scale on a composite cardiovascular endpoint in obese patients with heart failure. The main questions are: Does the use of a diet management APP and intelligent weight scale reduce 1-year all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and first heart failure hospital stay? Does the use of a diet management APP and intelligent weight scale improve the outcomes of assessment of heart failure frailty and quality of life for heart failure? Researchers will compare using the fully functional diet management app and intelligent weight scale to using the limitedly functional app and intelligent weight scale to see if the app works to improve heart failure conditions. Participants will: Use the diet management app at every meal and the intelligent weight scale every day for 12 months, and visit the clinic at 12 months for checkups.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Chinese Medicine on patients with severe AECOPD, and to provide a basis for the establishment of integrated CM and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment scheme for patients with severe AECOPD.
The purpose of this pilot interventional study is to collect preliminary data on administering magnesium sulfate as a neuroprotective medication in patients who achieved Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) following Cardiac Arrest (CA). The primary aims are to assess the feasibility and safety of administering magnesium and measure serum markers of neuronal injury at prespecified time points in the post-cardiac arrest period. Because this is a pilot study with a limited sample size, the primary objective is to evaluate the precision and stability of the collected measures to inform the design and formal analysis in a larger trial.
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the impact of a virtual reality program for improving the ability of emerging adults (age 18-25) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to stay focused while completing homework and studying. This study compares the impact of using a virtual reality headset to using a virtual reality headset while also receiving feedback about levels of focus to a control group. The main question is whether participants demonstrate significantly improved concentration while completing homework and studying in virtual reality and whether they enjoy and prefer working in a virtual reality environment. Concentration is measured both through participant report and also using keyboard and mouse click data to assess work productivity objectively.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of a clinical decision support tool consisting of a 48-hour stop order for indwelling urinary catheters versus no clinical decision support in hospitalized patients with indwelling urinary catheters. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the presence of an automated stop order integrated as part of a clinical decision support tool reduce dwell time of urinary catheters and the rate of catheter associated urinary tract infections? Participants who have indwelling urinary catheters ordered will be randomized to either have these orders automatically expire after 48 hours unless an action is taken or have orders without expiration. Researchers will compare the urinary catheter dwell time and the rate of catheter associated urinary tract infections between the two groups.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 2 clinical study aiming to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of sintilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) in combination of fruquintinib and chemotherapy (S-1 plus nab-paclitaxel) versus sintilimab and chemotherapy as conversion therapy in patients with stage IV gastric cancer in China.
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of regorafenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Regorafenib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking BCL-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. Giving regorafenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of leflunomide in combination with gemcitabine in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Improving the effectiveness of gemcitabine without increasing side effects could lead to a greater impact for pancreatic cancer patients' survival and quality of life. Gemcitabine is commonly used as a first-line chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer. Leflunomide is a drug approved for use against rheumatoid arthritis that is being looked at as a cancer treatment option. It has shown promising results when combined with gemcitabine. Giving gemcitabine in combination with leflunomide may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Exploring the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma with the combination of orelabrutinib, rituximab and methotrexate (ORM regimen).
This is a parallel, Phase 2, 2-arm, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study for treatment of CRSwNP. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with subcutaneous lunsekimig in adult participants (aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive) with CRSwNP who are inadequately controlled on intranasal corticosteroid treatment. Participants with and without co-morbid asthma will be included in the study, and lung function will be assessed in both groups. The study duration will be up to approximately 40 weeks per participant, including 4 weeks of screening run-in period, 24 weeks of intervention period, and 12 weeks of follow-up.
