Filter by:This phase II trial tests the willingness of patients undergoing nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) to enroll in a randomized study of NSM with or without neurotization of the nipple areolar complex (NAC). This trial also compares patient reported outcomes, including quality of life and breast and NAC sexual functionality, for patients undergoing NSM with or without neurotization of the NAC. NSM is a standard practice option for patients undergoing preventative mastectomy, but many report dissatisfaction with decreased nipple sensation. Neurotization is a surgical technique using a nerve graft in an attempt to restore NAC sensation. Neurotization during NSM and reconstruction may restore NAC sensation and improve quality of life in breast cancer patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if the study drug, CIN-103, can help reduce the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D) in adult patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To evaluate the efficacy of CIN-103 on symptoms of IBS-D when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CIN-103 when given to patients with IBS-D compared to a placebo Participants will attend the following visits: - Screening Period (1 Visit) - Baseline Period (1 Visit) - Will complete daily diary and other Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) as described in the protocol to assess eligibility for continued participation. - 12-Week Treatment Period (5 Visits) - Study drug taken twice daily by mouth. - Will complete daily diaries and other PROs as described in the protocol. - Follow- Up Period (1 Visit) Researchers will compare CIN-103 Dose 1, CIN-103 Dose 2, and placebo, to evaluate the clinical response to multiple dose strengths of CIN-103 relative to placebo on abdominal pain and stool consistency along with safety and tolerability.
The purpose of this study is to assess BMS-986453 in participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with mirdametinib in patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) or other histiocytic disorders will be better than current treatments and with fewer side effects.
A substantial part of children/adolescents with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (AD/OCD) do not profit substantially from first-choice treatment (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy; CBT). For them, no evidence-based treatment is available. The aim of this project is to evaluate and optimize a newly-developed personalized, short, and intensive exposure-based intervention, 'HANDS-ON', for 'treatment non-responders'. Collaboration with children, parents and teachers, guided exposure in a child's natural environment, personalized treatment goals and meaning/motivation are central principles. Methods: A multiple baseline single-case experimental design is used (qualitative and quantitative). Participants are children/adolescents (10-18 years; N=12) with an AD/OCD diagnosis for whom standard CBT did not lead to sufficient improvement. Children and parents are asked to complete questionnaires before, during, and after the treatment. Children, parents, and school professionals will be asked to participate in qualitative interviews to evaluate their experiences with the HANDS-ON treatment program.
Over the last 20 years, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to support adult patients with respiratory or cardiac failure who are unlikely to survive conventional treatment methods. ECMO circuit, pump, and oxygenator technology improvements permit safer perfusion for extended periods. The prolonged use of an ECMO circuit increases the risk of membrane lung (ML) dysfunction. The ML is responsible for taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. The non-biologic surface of the ML triggers inflammatory and coagulation pathways, resulting in the formation of blood clots, breakdown of fibrin, and activation of white blood cells, which ultimately leads to ML dysfunction. Coagulation and fibrinolysis activation can cause systemic coagulopathy or hemolysis, and the deposition of blood clots can block blood flow. Moreover, the accumulation of moisture in the gas phase and the buildup of protein and cellular debris in the blood phase may contribute to shunt and dead-space physiology, respectively, impairing the exchange of gases. These three categories-hematologic abnormalities, mechanical obstruction, and inadequate gas exchange-account for most ML exchanges. Worsening oxygenation during ECMO should prompt quantification of oxygen transfer. ML exchange is indicated when the ML can no longer meet the patient's oxygen demand. The partial pressure of Post-ML arterial oxygen less than 200 mmHg is the most important consideration in this decision. In some high-altitude regions of China, ECMO treatment is also routinely conducted. The experiences above are derived from low-altitude areas, and whether they apply in high-altitude regions is still being determined. This study aimed to explore the significantly lower membrane lung oxygen uptake in high-altitude regions compared to low-altitude areas.
AZD9550 is in early development for the treatment of NASH, a type of liver disease that commonly affects overweight and obese patients who have T2DM. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and effects of increasing doses of AZD9550 in overweight and obese participants aged 18 through 65 years living with T2DM, and to investigate how AZD9550 is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated from the body.
This phase II trial tests how well lifileucel, with reduce dose fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for lymphodepletion and interleukin-2, work for treating patients with melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic).Lifileucel is made up of specialized immune cells called lymphocytes or T cells that are taken from a patient's tumor, grown in a manufacturing facility and infused back into the preconditioned patient to attack the tumor. Giving Lifileucel with a reduced dose of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for lymphodepletion and interleukin -2 is being studied in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
This study evaluates the incidence and management of new and worsening high blood pressure in patients with B-cell cancers on BTKi treatment.
ALA is administered orally since it is without difficulty absorbed in the stomach. ALA goes through the blood brain barrier and does not show toxic effects and actions at doses used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. This has encouraged us to use an efficient anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, alpha-lipoic acid (biochemical) as a relevant option to prevent POAF.
