The objective of this clinical feasibility study is to evaluate initial clinical safety and device performance of the CellFX Percutaneous Electrode (PE) System for the treatment of symptomatic benign thyroid nodules.
This is a phase Ib/II exploratory study. Phase Ib includes the dose escalation and expansion study of monotherapy, as well as the dose escalation study of combination therapy. After determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), a dose expansion study is conducted to observe the safety and efficacy in monotherapy. Phase II study is to further observe the safety and efficacy of TQB2930 combined with albumin-paclitaxel (cohort 3), or chemotherapy selected by investigators (cohort 4).
This study aims at improving knowledge about the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and treatment with growth hormone (GH), with the goal of providing information on the presence of new biomarkers, such as miRNAs, for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, with the goal of establishing a personalized GH treatment scheme, optimizing resources, reducing costs, and improving outcomes.
There is no cure to arrest or delay SBMA progression. It is estimated that ~1000 individuals are affected by SBMA in Italy at any given time (prevalence: 1.5/100000) with an annual incidence of 0.19/100000 males. Here, we are going to test the potential of beta2-agonist stimulation on muscle as a therapeutic avenue for SBMA. We have provided pre-clinical evidence that β-agonist stimulation may be a therapeutic strategy for SBMA. Moreover, we have shown that beta2-agonists are effective in improving motor function without relevant adverse events in a small cohort of SBMA patients. To establish safety and efficacy of clenbuterol as a cure for SBMA, we are conducting a multicenter, phase II, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, single dose, placebo-controlled trial. Indeed, based on our preliminary data, some concerns remain to be addressed.
Atrophy and weakness of the shoulder are a common problem following treatment of a number of shoulder and elbow pathologies. Even with relatively short periods of reduced activity, the magnitude of muscle loss can be quite substantial.
Randomized, Vehicle-controlled, Parallel Group Study of TDM-180935 in Atopic Dermatitis Patients
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of different forms of a gentle form of electrical stimulation applied to the ear, known as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). The research team is interested in how the different forms affect comfort and tolerability, as well as how well it works.
Background: - Medical problems and treatments can cause stress in some people. Researchers want to learn more about how to measure distress in young people with medical illnesses. A screening tool called Checking In will be developed in order to help researchers find ways to identify concerns and stresses common to this group. Objective: - To create a screening tool that will help health care providers identify psychological and social distress in young people with serious illnesses. Eligibility: - Outpatient youth ages 8 21 who are enrolled on a research protocol at the NIH at the time of the study. Design: - Phase 1 participants will complete a paper-and-pencil version of Checking In. It asks about mood, pain, fatigue, peer relationships, and sleep. During this phase, participants will be asked about the wording of the questions in Checking In. They will also talk about what they thought of the questions and if they understood them. - Phase 2 will not involve participant enrollment. During this phase the researchers will be working with technologists to develop the software for an electronic version of Checking In. - Phase 3 participants will complete an electronic version of Checking In. Researchers will ask questions about the ease or difficulty of using an electronic screen. - Phase 4 participants and one of their caregivers will complete an electronic version of Checking In. They will also complete other questionnaires related to mood, pain fatigue, peer relationships and sleep. They will be asked their thoughts about using Checking In. On the same day, their NIH doctor will get summary data about their questionnaire answers. The doctor will also provide feedback about the summary form. - Researchers will compare data from Checking In with data from the other questionnaires.
The purpose of this research project is to develop a vision surveillance system, in order of understanding the vision health status of children and adolescents in Taiwan.
The objective of the work described in this protocol is to determine the optical signatures of cervical dysplasia using optical technologies.
