The safety and feasibility of CAR-T cells (CD19.CAR-T) targeted at CD19 in the treatment of relapsed / refractory CD19 positive lymphoma were determined, and the proliferation and survival time of CD19.CAR-T cells in patients were determined.
Nearly one third of patients with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. It is well known that the achievement of a R0-situation is one of the most important factors for a positive long-term outcome. Despite further advantages in multimodal treatment concepts, only 20 - 30 % of the patients with metastases can be resected in curative intention. Recent studies, especially from Norway, have shown that liver transplantation might be a feasible option in well selected patients since the complete hepatectomy with subsequent liver transplantation can be an option for the achievement of a R0 situation. In this study, we pursue the strategy of two-stage hepatectomy combined with a left-lateral living donor liver transplantation. Inclusion criteria are as follows: non-resectable liver metastases of a primary colorectal carcinoma with an assumed portal-venous drainage of the tumor and at least a "stable disease" after a period of eight weeks systemic chemotherapy. Patients are excluded from the study if there is an extrahepatic tumor burden (with the exception of resectable lung metastases) or if the patient is not suitable for liver transplantation due to co-morbidities. The transplantation itself will be undertaken as a living donor liver transplantation where the left lateral liver lobe (liver segments 2 & 3) from a healthy volunteer donor will serve as graft. Prior transplantation, a left hemihepatectomy in the recipient is performed and the left lateral graft will be transplanted in this position. At the end of the transplantation procedure, the right portal vein will be closed to induce a rapid growth of the graft. The second step, and therefore the completion of the operation is performed after a growth period of the transplanted left-lateral lobe: in this procedure, the right hemi-liver of the recipient will be removed and the patient is supposed to be free of tumor at this point in time.
Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are used to reduce the risk of stroke (cerebral vascular dysfunction) in AF patients. However, VKAs interact with drugs/food and the drug level is influenced by worsening of renal function, liver congestion or hemodynamic alterations in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). New oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran) are alternatives to VKA, such as warfarin. In post hoc analysis of ROCKET AF trial, 63.7% patients had HF and treatment-related outcomes were similar in patients with and without HF (Circulation HF. 2013; 6:740-7). So rivaroxaban 20 mg daily (or 15 mg daily in patients with creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min) was safe in nonvalvular AF patients with HF. However, the clinical effect and safety of rivaroxaban were largely unknown in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). ROAD HF-AF is the exploratory study to assess the change of surrogate markers (hsTn, d-dimer) when treated with rivaroxaban vs. warfarin and to strengthen the basis for future biomarker-based therapy in ADHF patients
Investigators hypothesise that for patients undergoing elective total hip replacements, a single injection Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum (TQL) block, when compared to a single injection Fascia Iliaca Block (FIB), will provide better analgesia and less motor block in the initial 24 hour period.
This clinical study is an exploratory study, mainly to study the safety and efficacy of BCMA nano-antibody CAR-T in the treatment of MM. In this study, a 3 + 3 dose gradient climbing design was used. Three dosage groups, 5 x 106 / kg, 7.5 x 106 / kg and 1.5 x 107 / kg, were divided into three groups. Patients were enrolled in the sequence from low to high doses. When each dose group was completed, the next dose group could be enrolled if there was no more than 3-level toxicity or unpredictable severe toxicity. If the dose group had more than 3-level toxicity or unpredictable severe toxicity, two patients were enrolled to observe if there was any toxicity. Sexual occurrence, if two patients in each group developed grade 3 or more toxicity or unpredictable severe toxicity, the dose group was the dose-limiting group, and the dose group in front of the group was the maximum tolerated dose, at which the initial efficacy was observed. Nine patients were enrolled in the hill climbing test, and six patients were enrolled in the follow-up preliminary efficacy study, with an estimated 15 enrolled.
Post-authorisation non-interventional observational study of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis who started Ocaliva® treatment between October 1st, 2016 and December 31, 2017.
The aim of the study is to determine: (1) the effects of combined physical exercise and cognitive training versus exercise or cognitive training alone on cognition, physical function, daily function, quality of life and social participation outcomes, (2) determine the relative effects of simultaneous vs. sequential combination of physical exercise and cognitive training on these health-related outcomes, (3) determine the long-term effects of different types of trainings on these outcome measures.
To assess the efficiency and safety of combined extracorporeal blood purification in patients with septic shock in Neurosurgical ICU in comparison with the efficiency and safety of the continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
This study focuses on the treatment for complicated diverticulitis classified as Hinchey I-IV. The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate type of treatment and the success rate of treatment in acute complicated diverticulitis (ACD) at participating hospitals in Sweden and Norway. Furthermore, the effects on quality of life for this patient group will be evaluated.
It has been reported that radiation therapy followed by PCV chemotherapy (procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine) could improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high-risk WHO grade 2 gliomas after surgery. However, procarbazine is not available in China. In clinical practice, Chinese doctors often use radiotherapy combined with temozolomide to treat these patients, though large-scale prospective studies are lacking. This trial aims to confirm whether RT combined with temozolomide can improve PFS and OS in patients with high-risk low-grade gliomas.
