Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects of DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 is a vaccine that may help the immune system specifically target and kill cancer cells. Poly ICLC may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.

To look at the prognostic value of new biomarkers in CSF and serum for characterisation of multiple sclerosis
Ticagrelor is a potent and fast-acting P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonist recommended as first-line agent in ACS (2). This drug was associated with a 20% relative reduction in the rate of MACE in ACS patients undergoing PCI compared to clopidogrel. This benefit came without any increase in major bleedings compared to clopidogrel (6). In the PLATO trial, a limited number of kidney failure patients were included (21%) and patients with terminal CKD were excluded. A sub-group analysis focused on CKD patients was performed. Only 214 patients with CKD below stage 4 (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) were included (7). No patient with terminal CKD or undergoing chronic hemodialysis was included. Of importance, kidney function impairment is frequent and affects up-to 40 % of ACS patients. In addition, CKD is a powerful independent predictor of ischemic complications during ACS (8-9).Indeed, CKD patients have a very high risk of MACE following ACS with an odd ratio between 2 and 3 compared to patients with normal kidney function and event rates above 40% at one year follow-up (8-13). Of importance these patients more often have high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity which was strongly associated with a worse clinical outcome (3,14-16). In CKD patients HTPR was associated with death after PCI (15). Accordingly ticagrelor which overcomes these limitations of clopidogrel could be associated with a major clinical benefit in severe or terminal CKD patients. Most of ticagrelor and is active metabolites are excreted through the feces. Preclinical data suggested that renal impairment had little effect on systemic exposure to the drug(EMEA/H/C/1241 (28)). Recent pharmacodynamic and kinetic studies confirmed these preclinical data on the safety of ticagrelor in severe and end-stage CKD (17-19). Therefore based on the rational above and to the lack of relevant clinical data, the optimal P2Y12-ADP receptor antagonist for patients with stage 4 and 5 and patients undergoing chronic dialysis remains undetermined in ACS treated with PCI. We aimed to compare the clinical efficacy ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with stage 4 and 5 or on chronic hemodialysis undergoing PCI for ACS.
Aim of the study is to test the feasibility of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) recording in the diagnosis of popliteal entrapment syndrome (PES) in 30 patients with suspected PES and 30 asymptomatic control heathy subjects
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, causing more than 379,000 deaths in 2015 notwithstanding the breakthrough in cancer screening and medical treatment. The primary treatment for HNC is a combination of surgery and radiotherapy, either delivered preoperatively or postoperatively. Although these treatments, especially the postoperative radiotherapy can greatly improve the survival of patients, they still have to pay a high price for numerous symptoms induced by radiation. On the other hand, research on symptoms clusters is an emerging field in oncology which aims to understand the complexity of multiple symptoms experienced by cancer patients. A thorough understanding of symptom clusters help informs the development of comprehensive care plans which target a group of symptoms that is likely to coexist, thus easing the total symptom burden in cancer patients.To date, there has been a paucity of evidence regarding symptom clusters of HNC. To address the gap in existing literature, this study described the symptom clusters among HNC patients who were treated with surgery with a combination of postoperative radiotherapy. In addition, a longitudinal approach was employed to examine the change in symptom clusters throughout the treatment course.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and safety of DLAAG protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with blast excess
Lorraine is one of the most affected French region by cardiovascular diseases with a mortality rate for ischemic heart disease higher than the national average in 2010. Due to practice change with the new recommandations of the European Society of Cardiology involving the myocardic revascularization, the investigators wanted to compare the Stemi care in 2005-2006, 2010-2011 and 2015 in the CHR Metz-Thionville.
Health organizations recommend exercise in an intensity based manner to promote cardiovascular adaptation and prevent disease. Metformin is a common anti-diabetes medication that reduces future type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, the optimal dose of exercise to be combined with metformin for vascular health remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combining high or low intensity exercise with metformin has the potential to outperform either exercise intensity alone on blood flow across the arterial tree as well as impact insulin action in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Identification of such outcomes will indicate 1) whether and how metformin should be combined with physical activity for CVD prevention, 2) provide the first indication of whether exercise intensity reduces CVD risk via multi-level vasculature function vs. metabolic insulin action, and 3) provide a rational early treatment for people with metabolic syndrome to prevent/treat type 2 diabetes and CVD.
The measurement of the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure (TCPO2) at exercise is, to our knowledge, the only method to estimate during the exercise the importance of ischemia segment of limb by segment of limb bilaterally and carry on. The diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome causing remains difficult and dependent operator in ultrasound because of the risk of false positive (loss of signal) or false negative (insufficient effort, inappropriate movement). Our main hypothesis is the existence of significant measurable ischemia in the forearm by transcutaneous oximetry during the maneuvering of the "candlestick". In the event of failure of this maneuver, the other maneuvers such as those of Wright, Roos, Tinel and Adson will be realized. In this study we want to evaluate the possibility of using dynamic transcutaneous Oximetry as a tool for evaluating ischemia in case of suspicion of thoracic outlet syndrome causing.
