This randomized, controlled, pivotal study is intended to determine whether up to ten sequential 24-hour treatments with the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) will improve survival in patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) when compared to CKRT alone (standard of care). This study is further intended to determine whether SCD therapy will reduce the duration of maintenance dialysis secondary to AKI. This study will enroll approximately 200 subjects across 30 US sites. Participants will be patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting with a diagnosis of AKI requiring CKRT.
The subacute phase of stroke provides a window into how a lesion perturbs sensorimotor functions prior to reorganisation driven by plasticity and neurorehabilitation. The recovery from motor impairment has been extensively studied, but it is currently unknown whether motor skill learning (MSkL) is enhanced or impaired during acute stroke, especially bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL), which likely requires more motor-attentional-cognitive resources than unimanual MSkL. The goals of this project are: to determine the neural substrates critical to achieve proximal and distal bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL) by specifying whether (sub)acute stroke to different brain areas (cortical and subcortical) induce specific deficits in bimanual and/or distal bim-MSkL, which behavioral components are involved in bim-MSkL, and whether damage to the motor, sensory and inter-hemispheric pathways specifically impairs proximal and/or distal bim-MSkL.
Study STX-478-101 is a multipart, open-label, phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity of STX-478 in participants with advanced solid tumors with certain mutations. Part 1 will evaluate STX-478 as monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors and breast cancer; Part 2 will evaluate STX-478 therapy as combination therapy with fulvestrant in participants with breast cancer. Each study part will include a 28-day screening period, followed by treatment with STX-478 monotherapy or combination therapy.
This is a multi-center, non-interventional and prospective study of patients receiving Epidyolex as part of standard clinical practice in France. The study will state an overview of patient characteristics and clinical history (including age, sex, diagnosis, duration of epilepsy, predominant seizure type, previous medications, current co-medications and Epidyolex dose), and an evaluation of retention rates, safety profile, seizure activity, changes in executive function and quality of life measured in a 2-year follow-up period.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder occurring in 7 million patients worldwide. PD is caused by progressive loss of nigro-striatal dopamine cells, which causes motor symptoms such as slowness of movement and tremor, and non-motor symptoms such as cognitive dysfunction. Converging clinical evidence indicates that PD patients are very sensitive to the effects of psychological stress. There is a high prevalence of stressrelated neuropsychiatric symptoms in PD: 30-40% of patients experience depression and 25-30% have anxiety. Furthermore, stress worsens many motor symptoms, e.g. tremor, freezing of gait, and dyskinesia. In addition to these immediate negative effects, chronic stress may also have detrimental long-term consequences, and specifically by accelerating disease progression, as suggested by animal models. However, this hypothesis remains to be confirmed in humans. Better evidence about the impact of stress on PD would have major treatment consequences: novel stress-reducing interventions may have symptomatic effects, and perhaps also disease-modifying effects. The aim of this study is to test whether a stress-reducing intervention improves clinical symptoms, slows neurodegeneration, and/or enhances neuroplasticity in PD. In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators will compare a stress-reducing mindfulness-based intervention group (MBI; one year) to a treatment as usual (TAU) group on clinical symptoms, cerebral markers of nigro-striatal dysfunction and stressor-reactivity (MRI), and inflammatory markers (serum).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare oxytocin infusion rates for induction and augmentation of labor in nulliparous women. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect length of induction to delivery interval? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect mode of delivery? - Does a high dose oxytocin infusion protocol affect maternal and neonatal outcomes? Participants will be randomized to either low- or high-dose oxytocin groups: - The low dose group will receive an infusion to start at 2 milli-units/min and will be increased by 2 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. The maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min. - The high dose group will receive an infusion to start at 6 milli-units/min and will be increased by 6 milli-units/min every 20 minutes. Maximum rate of infusion is 40 milli-units/min.
This research study uses a cluster randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of Treatment Text (TXTXT) intervention on adherence and viral load suppression at 3- and 6- months post intervention initiation for youth and young adults with HIV. A total of 12 clinics will be randomized into one of the following two conditions: 1. Comparison Arm (n=6 clinics)- Clinics randomized to the comparison arm will have participants receive the standard of care for 3 months, followed by a 3-month intervention period. 2. Intervention Arm (n=6 clinics)- Clinics randomized to the intervention arm will have participants receive the TXTXT intervention for 6 months.
This sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial will test treatments designed to reduce alcohol use before and after surgery to promote surgical health and long-term wellness.
The goal of this interventional clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a 12-week precision exercise training intervention to improve exercise tolerance in sepsis survivors. The main question it aims to answer is does a 12-week precision exercise training program improve constant load exercise time in sepsis survivors? Participants will: - Answer questionnaires related to patient reported outcomes and give a blood sample - Perform a constant load exercise test - Complete 12-weeks (3 x per week, 36 session in total) of precision exercise training consisting of individualized, nonlinear periodized strength and aerobic exercise training. Researchers will compare the exercise group to an attention control group of sepsis survivors who do not receive exercise training but instead undergo usual care procedures and receive general lifestyle advice 1x per week.
Poor sleep quality is one of the most common problems among adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The causes of sleep disturbance are complicated. Poor sleep quality can lead to negative consequences for patients' physical and mental health. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as background noise, have been recommended to increase the threshold level of sound during nighttime and achieve masking effects to improve subjective sleep quality. This study is a randomized controlled trial that compared two parallel patient groups.The hypothesis of this study is that background noise can improve sleep quality in adult ICU patients compared with conventional treatment group.
