This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, randomized, umbrella study in participants with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The study will enroll treatment-naive participants with resectable Stage III-IVA human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive SCCHN with measurable disease, as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) who have not received systemic treatment for their disease.
This study is being done to assess the effects of S. boulardii CNCM I-745 compared to placebo on impaired intestinal permeability, which is the control of material passing from inside the gastrointestinal tract through the cells lining the gut wall into the rest of the body.
Taking prescription opioids for pain together with benzodiazepines for the treatment of anxiety disorders is not recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of the elevated risk of serious complications, including fatal overdose. However, this concurrent prescription use continues to be prevalent, likely due to the high comorbidity between pain and anxiety disorders. Efforts are urgently needed to reduce benzodiazepine use among patients taking opioids. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a first-line treatment for anxiety disorders, and represents a safer and more effective treatment for anxiety disorders compared to benzodiazepines. The proposed study aims to make minor adaptations to a CBT protocol to facilitate benzodiazepine tapering and to then conduct a 2-arm randomized clinical trial with primary care patients who receive benzodiazepine and opioid prescriptions. Participants will be randomized to receive a telehealth-delivered intervention consisting of a gentle, 12-week benzodiazepine taper (BZT) with either CBT or a health education control (HE). Participants will be assessed at baseline, several points throughout treatment, at post-treatment, and at a 2-month follow-up assessment on benzodiazepine use, opioid use, and anxiety symptoms. Should CBT + BZT outperform HE + BZT, this intervention could make a significant impact by reducing major consequences of concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepines, including mortality.
This study is intended to investigate safety and feasibility of a new weight loss technique called Gastric Mucosal Ablation (GMA) that does not require surgery, but can be achieved using an endoscopic procedure. Previous studies have suggested that weight loss after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is partly due to the removal of normal stomach tissue suspected of having hormonal function. The study will investigate the minimally invasive treatment of obesity Class III participants by means of argon plasma coagulation (APC) in combination with waterjet submucosal injection using HybridAPC. As primary endpoint device or procedure related occurrence of complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification will be determined. After signing the informed consent the doctor and research team will determine if the participant meets all requirements for this study. If a participant is confirmed to be a suitable candidate additional tests will be performed prior to the first application of GMA to assess the health status of the participant prior to treatment. During the screening and baseline visit the medical history and the medications of the participant will be reviewed. After the treatments the participants will be followed for up to 6 months to assess the outcome of the GMA procedure.
The purpose of this study is to assess a novel rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) interpretation software to determine whether its use improves the accuracy of clinician interpretation.
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate whether patients who receive modified anteversion angle (( α-15°)±10°) of the acetabular cup have a lower risk of dislocation within one year after surgery, compared to patients who receive conventional anteversion angle ( α±10°) of the acetabular cup. The hypothesis is that patients with placement of the modified (( α-15°)±10°) anteversion angle of the acetabular component will have decreased risk of dislocation 1 year after surgery compared to patients with conventional anteversion angle ( α±10°) placement. PS: α refers to the preoperative anteversion angle of the affected hip. α equals to the anteversion angle of the contralateral limb if it cannot be accurately measured on the affected limb. A standard error within 10° is accepted
This is a multi-site, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study design for SEEG-guided 4-lead DBS for treatment-refractory OCD, followed by open label stimulation for an additional 6 months. The study will be conducted in 3 stages: Stage 1 will consist of SEEG brain mapping and optimization of stimulation parameters. Stage 2 will consist of DBS surgery and further optimization of stimulation parameters. Stage 3 will be randomized, crossover treatment, followed by open label treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tobemstomig alone or in combination with tiragolumab compared with atezolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who are ineligible to receive a platinum containing chemotherapy.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (including preeclampsia) are among the leading causes of pregnancy complications and maternal deaths worldwide. They also increase the risks to the babies. Numerous interventions have been suggested in order to reduce the rate of preeclampsia. Low-dose aspirin is the most beneficial prophylactic approach in this regard. Nevertheless, aspirin failure is not uncommon. The genetic, laboratory, and clinical factors associated with low-dose aspirin failure in the prevention of preeclampsia are largely unknown. The presence of a genetic variant in PAR4 receptor expressed on platelets, is associated with increased platelet function and possibly with aspirin failure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze if intraperitoneal drainage is necessary following distal pancreatectomy. This study aims to determine whether the omission of routine intraperitoneal drainage in the setting of reinforced staple technology is non-inferior to routine intraperitoneal drainage with respect to a composite post-operative complications of Grade B or C Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), readmission, or organ space surgical site infection following a distal pancreatectomy.
