Almost 85% of new therapeutic molecules are abandoned before the clinical trial stage. Most of these failures currently concern cancer therapies. In order to optimize the development of these molecules and allow the development of precision medicine, an innovative screening device that is as close as possible to in vivo is necessary. For this reason, the platform the investigators are setting up takes into account tumor vascularization as well as the 3D microenvironment. The platform the investigators intend to set up is based on 4 cornerstones: - the formation of patient-derived organoids seems to be the best option to take into account the microenvironment and cellular interactions. - the vascular network: the formation of a peri-tumoral vascular network, either by using HUVECS cells or by using endothelial cells from the patient. - the extracellular matrix, and the set of proteins it contains, is a major element of in vivo interaction. Moreover, the presence of a matrix is a key element for the development of vascularization in vitro. - Functional tumor microenvironment: peri-tumor vascularization is necessary but not sufficient to claim to recreate a tumor microenvironment. It must be functionalized, and this implies the use of a microfluidic system. This ready-to-use platform will be used on tumor biopsies of the patient, to constitute a tool for personalized medicine. This could even be a future component of decision at multidisciplinary board meetings. The main objective of our research is the constitution of organoids derived from the patient in order to select, via a screening device, the best anti-tumor therapy to administer to the patient. A secondary objective is to collect lymphocytes from the patient's blood in order to test the effectiveness of therapies mediated by the immune system (immunotherapy).
This is an open-label, single-center, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules in subjects with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
This is a national, multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase II/III trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of favipiravir and ribavirin in the treatment of patients with confirmed COVID-19 observed within 72 hours. Approximately 100 patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio and divided into two groups.
Self-swabbing requires less personal protective equipment and could allow to test more people and even to do quick self-diagnosis if antigenic tests are available. In a preliminary study on 190 medical students, the investigators have shown that self and conventional swabbing were identically well-accepted with equivalent level of pain and discomfort induced by swabbing. In a sub-group of this sample, the investigators have shown that the quality of the 2 sampling methods were equivalent. The goal of this large study in the general population is to confirm these findings in an adequately powered study. Such results would allow to develop self-swabbing for large screening campaigns and eventually self-diagnosis using antigenic tests.
to find metabolic factors that correlate with the development of no-reflow phenomenon that may help prevent its occurrence
This randomized controlled trial study aims at investigating the efficacy and safety of topical antioxidants in treatment of a cohort of non-elderly volunteers with photoaged skin.
In colorectal surgery, hand suturing and stapling are routine methods for performing intestinal anastomoses, and these methods appear to be similar in terms of clinical safety. Despite several years of experience with surgical procedures as well as improvements to the medical devices, problems with disturbed anastomotic healing leading to leakage and stenosis after colorectal surgery remain a significant challenge for surgeons. A frequency of anastomotic leakage after stapling or suturing has been reported to range from 3% to 20%. In addition, preoperative radiotherapy has been shown to increase the risk of anastomotic leakage even further. The methods that are used today to detect leakages are unfortunately inaccurately and limited to monitoring symptoms, temperature, CRP-levels, and performing abdominal examinations and CT-scans. These clinical signs and parameters usually become apparent several days after onset of the leakage, which leads to a delayed diagnosis. Anastomotic leakage is not only a significant cause of increased morbidity of complications and mortality in patients, but also associated with increased risk of local recurrence and poor prognosis. Moreover, when reoperation is required to fix the leakage, a permanent stoma may be made at the level of the sigmoid colon and this procedure impacts live quality of patients negatively. Based on the above considerations, a novel, adaptive anastomotic method has been developed by CarpoNovum to achieve a safer anastomosis. The method's working name is C-REX Ring-locking Procedure. C-REX is referred to our Colorectal anastomotic rings for Re-join the intestinal ends and validate the anastomosis, with function of Extract samples for analysis and conduct X-ray through connected catheters. The newly developed adaptive anastomotic medical devices, C-REX LapAid Cath and C-REX RectoAid Cath are easy to use, with unique possibility to control the anastomosis during and after surgery. The previous successful pre-market data support a successful CE marking of the devices, which encourages a post-market clinical follow-up (post CE mark clinical study) in patients undergoing colonic resection to collect post-market data of C-REX LapAid Cath and C-REX RectoAid Cath for the purpose of clinical evaluation and risk analysis.
A randomized, single-blinded, parallel design phase I clinical trial to investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of CKD-841 A-1, CKD-841 D or Leuplin Inj. after subcutaneous injection in postmenopausal female
Vascular dysfunction is an important mechanism involved in organ failure, in the setting of sepsis condition, with different types of circulating endothelial cells.Transcriptom analysis via RNAseq in different types of circulating endothelial cells, comapring critically ill patients with or without sepsis will allow determining differential gene expression for signal pathways in endothelial alteration and restoration associated with sepsis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a program for the secondary prevention of drug-realted problems (DRP) focused on the patient empowerment through Digital Health in patients who visit the Emergency Department (ED) of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCiSP) for a health problem related to medication in terms of readmissions, revisits and quality of life.
