Filter by:The aim of this early phase two-part study was to compare the bioavailability (BA) pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of racemic pindolol with the benzoate salt of the S-enantiomer of pindolol (ACM-001.1) and provide safety information. A total of 51 healthy male and female subjects were enrolled, and 48 healthy subjects completed the study. Part 1 consisted of two Groups to compare BA and PK, Group 1 received two treatment sequences of a single dose of ACM-001.1 versus racemic pindolol; Group 2 ran in parallel with Group 1 and assessed the PK of a single dose of racemic pindolol in a single period. Part 2 consisted of four groups, to evaluate the steady state PK and PD of ACM-001.1 with multiple ascending doses over 4 days.
This is a proof-of-concept trial that aims to compare the efficacy of an 8-week treatment with higher-protein-Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) with standard RUTF in improving levels of markers of growths, height, nutritional recovery, and lean mass deposition among children with severe wasting. The study will also assess the safety and acceptability of the high-protein RUTF in comparison to the standard RUTF. The study will be conducted at four outpatient therapeutic programs in the Blantyre district of Malawi.
In this study, the investigators aimed to observe the effects of medium cut-off dialysis filters and high-flux dialysis filters on malnutrition inflammation score, uremic itching, restless leg syndrome, anemia, and ESA treatment, which are prominent complications in hemodialysis, and routine follow-up parameters.
Evaluating the efficiency of using the nutrient production toward nutrition status (anthropometric index, the prevalence of wasting), digestive disorders, anorexia, and upper respiratory infections in children aged 24 - 71 months.
This study will test an experimental drug named TCMCB07 for the treatment of cancer cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome characterized by weight loss, anorexia, weakness or lack of energy, and anemia. Cachexia occurs in many cancers, usually at the advanced stages of disease.
The food intake is often compromised in the elderly, and during hospitalization, dietary restrictions may be imposed, making them more susceptible to the risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia. It is essential to make an early identification of the elderly with low intake and involve them in their self-care. The aims will be assess the influence of the nutritionist's educational action to increase protein intake in elderly patients, to analyze the knowledge on its importance in the prevention of sarcopenia and to identify the prevalence of nutritional risk. This is a field, prospective, correlational, comparative and randomized study. The elderly patients will be randomized into a Control Group and Intervention Group.
Aim: By application of wearable devices and health management platform to strengthen physical activity and improved life quality in hemodialysis patients.
Oncocross is developing OC514, a drug-drug combination product containing 2 active pharmaceutical ingredients for cancer cachexia. This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of OC514 in healthy adult volunteers.
Background Sarcopenia is characterized by the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle and is associated with increased adverse surgical outcomes. Glutamine is considered as an immune-modulating formula, which may stimulate protein synthesis in the skeletal muscle but also inhibited protein-degradation. In this study, the investigators calculate the area and volume psoas major muscle (PMMA; PMMV) of the third lumbar vertebral body as the reference of skeletal muscle. The aim of this study is to investigate whether perioperative glutamine supplementation restores atrophy of psoas muscle.
The IRAM MALI impact evaluation uses a cluster-randomized controlled study design to assess the impact of the package of integrated interventions aimed at reducing the longitudinal prevalence of wasting by reducing the incidence of child wasting, enhancing the recovery/cure rate from wasting treatment and reducing the relapse rate determined three months after post-treatment recovery from wasting. These interventions include, among other things, strengthening of community care groups (NASGs); home visits with delivery of behavioral change communication about nutrition, health and hygiene (WASH) for young children; distribution of a preventive nutritional supplement; and improved coverage of wasting screening (family MUAC and community screening), management, adherence to treatment and prevention of relapse in the health district of Koutiala, Sikasso region, Mali, West Africa.
