Filter by:In summary, all evidence points in the direction that amino acid supplementation is justified for augmenting desired fat loss associated with physical exercise as an obesity therapy. Nonetheless, the present clinical data concerning oral use of amino acid is insufficient for justifying its usage in humans as questions could arise with regards to its safety. Therefore, the present study was proposed to establish the safety profile of amino acid for human use by evaluating its use at a dose of 1000 mg per day in healthy individuals. The occurrence of adverse events will be monitored and reported as per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0), whereas the cardiac safety will be assessed by changes in electrocardiogram parameters, blood pressure, and heart rate. Furthermore, the effect of amino acid consumption on lipid profile will also be assessed by measuring peripheral levels of leptin, adiponectin, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in healthy individuals.
This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double blind study of Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma (also known as convalescent plasma) plus standard medical treatment (SMT) versus placebo plus SMT in mild or moderate COVID-19 patients who are non-hospitalised. Subjects with confirmed infection by SARS-CoV-2 will receive SMT plus a total of 200-300 mL of convalescent plasma that has been pathogen-inactivated using MBT or placebo. Approximately 474 individuals will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after the first 60 subjects (30 in each arm). The sample size will be re-assessed upon interim analysis. Approximately 135 individuals from selected study sites will be included in the substudy to assess the immune response and the methods of sampling.

Approximately 135 individuals from selected study sites will be included in the substudy to assess the immune response and the methods of sampling. The investigational product will be administered by IV infusion at baseline. Participants will continue their standard medical treatment (SMT) for SARS-CoV-2 infection as prescribed by their regular physician. If applicable, SMT may be modified during the study, depending on personal requirements, the severity and progression of the disease, and need for hospitalization. Subjects' participation (from inclusion/baseline visit to the end-of-study visit) will be up to 60 days.
Extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma(ENKTCL) is a distinct lymphoid neoplasm with aggressive course and poor outcomes. Optimal treatment strategies for advanced ENKTCL have not been fully defined.Patients with disseminated or relapsed disease have a very poor outcome,and there is no standard management for relapsed or refractory disease.Combination chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment.In small retrospective studies have observed very good response and survival rates in patients treated with L-asparaginase.In several prospective study that examined relapsed/refractory patients treated with SMILE outside a trial setting,the efficacy sounds good. But treatment related mortality was 7%. The regimen has toxicity, with careful attention to adverse effects and skill acquired through experience. Chidamide, a oral subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor monotherapy was effective on the patients with relapsed or refractory ENKTCL in our study. Objective response rate was 50.0% (6/12) with complete response(CR) rate 33.3 %( 4/12).All four CR patients were still in disease-free more than 6.9 months (6.9-10.5). ENKTCL are invariably infected by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV).EBV-infected lymphoma cells upregulate programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1), ligand of the inhibitory receptor programmed death 1(PD1) on T cells.Ligation of PDL1 on lymphoma cells with PD1 on effector T cells suppresses T-cell cytotoxicity. The PDL1/PD1 axis is therefore a potential mechanism for ENKTCL to avert effector T-cell targeting.PD1 blockadewith pembrolizumab was a potent strategy for ENKTCL failing L-asparaginase regimens in several reports.We carried out a single, open-label, multicenter clinical trial enrolled patients with relapsed or refractory ENKTCL to safety and efficacy of sintilimab in combination With chidamide.
Persons over age 65 years constitute a large and growing population of cancer survivors. Available data indicate that both short- and long-term female breast cancer survivors report more limitations related to strength and mobility than women with cancers of other sites and women without a personal history of cancer. Further, better mental health among breast cancer survivors has been shown to protect against physical decline and overall quality of life. The combination of mental and physical interventions may result in substantial improvements in quality of life. Tai Chi Chih (TCC), a form of mind-body exercise, is one such intervention. TCC may be particularly suited toward elderly breast cancer survivors with impaired physical and/or mental functioning, yet despite its increasing popularity and benefits in healthy and diseased populations, its benefits have never been scientifically evaluated in this population. The overarching goal of this study is to conduct preparatory work regarding the effects of TCC on quality of life and physical function that will underpin future definitive trials of TCC in elderly cancer survivors. As part of this 12-week trial, participants will be randomized to a TCC or a health education control group (HEC). Establishment of meaningful interventions that facilitate a more positive cancer survival experience in old age is an important issue; there are substantial public health and clinical benefits should a TC intervention be successful in this patient population.
