Filter by:Phase I/IIa study to determine the safety and clinical effects of intra-articular injections of MTX-071 (Lopain) in patients with chronic osteoarthritic knee-joint pain.
Researchers at the John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI) at Providence Saint John's Health Center (PSJHC) are trying to examine whether acupuncture reduces joint pain in patients being treated with aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for breast cancer and whether the reduction in pain happens by lowering inflammation.
This is a phase IV, open-label and single-arm study of patients with non-malignant pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and joint/muscle pain, who were not responding to non-opioid analgesics. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain control among these patients.
Foot silicone implants suffer from bad reputation on the market, due to poor results obtained with the first generations of implants. Allergies to silicone, infections due to silicone and implants breakage used to be common with previous generations of silicone implants. Publications relative to those implants showed that the survival rates after 5 years of follow-up were unsatisfactory. Since 1998, Tornier has been selling a new generation of silicone implants made of Ultrasil™. The use of this new material in its manufacturing process together with its innovative geometry, make the Primus™ FGT a much more resistant, anatomic and long lasting implant. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the implantation of Primus™ FGT implant in great toe arthroplasty. The study will capture long term outcomes in terms of functional metrics from documented clinical data. Other objectives are to evaluate the outcomes in terms of radiological evaluation and of safety during all the follow-up.
Bone and muscle losses occur during ageing leading to increased risk of osteoporosis (there are more than 200 million people affected by osteoporosis worldwide), sarcopenia, loss of functionality and mobility. From around 45-50 years onwards, there is a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). This is partially due to an impairment of muscle protein synthesis in response to dietary proteins. Insufficient dietary protein may contribute to age-related loss of lean body mass (LBM) and strength which ultimately affects body movement. Key ingredients in selected investigational product are:Milk proteins, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Glucosamine Sulfate, Zinc. They have effects to improve physical mobility and functionality. The investigators expect improved effects of a nutritional intervention combined with a physical activity program on mobility in healthy aging subjects with joint discomfort.
Early stage hormone receptor positive breast cancer is typically treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy in order to decrease risk of breast cancer recurrence and to improve overall survival from the disease. Typical agents used for treatment include tamoxifen and the aromatase inhibitors. In postmenopausal women, aromatase inhibitor therapy is increasingly common because it is associated with fewer long-term serious toxicities compared to tamoxifen. However, aromatase inhibitors cause arthralgias in 40-50% of patients, which can influence adherence to therapy and can lead to treatment discontinuation in a minority of cases. The mechanism underlying development of this toxicity remains unclear, and predictors of who will develop these symptoms remain undefined. This observational study is designed to collect patient-reported outcomes and serial serum samples in order to investigate potential etiologies of this bothersome toxicity.
In this study, the investigators are attempting to determine whether intra- or extra-articular injections are more effective; the relative prevalence rate of intra-articular and extra-articular SI joint pain; and the accuracy of extra-articular injections using fluoroscopy as the reference standard. 124 consecutive patients with mechanical low back pain below L5, tenderness overlying the SI joint(s) and at least 3 positive provocative maneuvers will be randomized to receive SI joint injections by 2 different approaches. Group 1 will receive fluoroscopically-guided injections into the joint. Group 2 will receive landmark-guided injections into the tender area around the joint. In order to determine whether the injection in group 2 was intra-articular or extra-articular, an x-ray will be done after the injection to ascertain the location of contrast spread. The primary outcome measure will be pain relief at 1-month. Patients who obtain benefit at 1-month will be followed at 3-months, while those who fail to obtain benefit will exit the study to receive alternative care.
In this study, the dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet is being made available to women who become pregnant while participating in study ING117172. Continuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is key to both mother and the unborn fetus in order to maintain virologic suppression in the mother (thereby decreasing the risk for maternal disease progression), but also to reduce the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to her unborn child. This study also offers the first opportunity to investigate the impact of pregnancy on DTG pharmacokinetics (PK). This is an open-label, single arm interventional study. The number of women that will be enrolled into this study cannot be established a priori, as unintended pregnancies cannot be determined in advance. The maximum number of women would include all of those women randomized to DTG/ABC/3TC FDC (approximately 237), though unintended pregnancies in all of these women would not be anticipated.
Assess the safety and functionality of the Freedom Knee® system through a multi-center clinical trial. Study endpoints include a comparison of Pre-Surgery versus Post-Surgery data for: 1. Range of Motion 2. Quality of Life measurements using Knee Society Scale (KSS) 3. Survivorship as defined by 'No Revision' of baseline implant 4. Quality of Life measurements using the WOMAC Score
The investigators propose to examine 121 postmenopausal women diagnosed with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer who have been taking aromatase inhibitors (AI) for at least 6 months and are experiencing at least mild arthralgia originating during AI treatment, the yearlong effect of exercise vs. attention control (health education), and on toxic side effects of AI.
