Filter by:Greater than 50% of lung transplant recipients show signs of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) by 5 years post-transplantation.Therapies to prevent or slow CLAD are lacking. Anti-fibrotic therapies may offer an avenue to prevent progression of CLAD and prolong allograft survival. This study investigates if Pirfenidone therapy will stabilize lung function decline and slow progression of Functional small airways disease (fSAD) in lung transplant recipients with CLAD.
Basic characterization of the drug delivery system for cannabidiol. A comparative bioavailability study.
A multicenter, randomized, double masked, placebo-controlled, parallel treatment groups phase 2 trial of losartan for pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study to verify the efficacy of prednisone alone and combination therapy with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide in the treatment of stage I membranous nephropathy.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative treatment with a novel, wireless, low-level microcurrent-generating antimicrobial device (brand name: JumpStart) in preventing the spread of Propionibacterium acnes in patients receiving open or arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Safety Assessment of Pegcetacoplan in Patients with Neovascular AMD
The majority of schizophrenia patients is impaired in hand gesture performance, which contributes to poor functional outcome and poor communication skills. The left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the left inferior parietal lobe (IPL) are key nodes of the gesture network, which is less active in patients with schizophrenia. Here, the investigators test single 10 min sessions of tDCS known to either enhance or inhibit local brain activity for app. 1 hour. The investigators aim to determine, which protocol may improve gesture performance in patients and healthy controls. This is a randomized, double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled single-center trial in 20 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and 20 healthy controls. Gesture performance will be tested immediately after each tDCS session, which are separated by 24 hours. Results of this study will inform larger interventional trials comparing 2 tDCS protocols with repeated administration.
Study to determine response rate of the combination of pembrolizumab plus epacadostat in patients with head and neck cancers that have received prior immunotherapy.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled study. The study population will include 220 subjects scheduled to undergo laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma with preventive ileostomy (Phase 1 operation). During the Phase 1 operation, when the definite decision to create a temporary ostomy is made, patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to either the treatment arm (INTERCEED™) or the control arm (standard of care treatment: no adhesion barrier, no placebo). In subjects assigned to the treatment arm, the INTERCEED™ must be applied beneath the target incision site (the midline incision mainly for the removal specimen). The subjects will return 3-9 months after the phase 1 operation (colorectal resection with temporary ileostomy) for phase 2 operation, to have their diverting ostomy taken down (ileostomy reversal). During the phase 2 operation (ileostomy reversal), the incidence, extent and severity of adhesions will be evaluated through the laparoscope.
The primary objective of the trial was to investigate the effect of the use of inhaled colistimethate sodium (CMS), administered twice a day (b.i.d.) via a specific nebulizer for 12 months, compared to placebo in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) chronically infected with P. aeruginosa on the annualised frequency of pulmonary exacerbations.
