Researchers are looking for a better way to treat men who have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). mCRPC is a cancer of the prostate (male reproductive gland found below the bladder) that has spread to other parts of the body. This type of prostate cancer does not respond to hormone treatment used to lower the level of testosterone, a male sex hormone, to prevent cancer from growing. The study treatment 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, also called BAY3563254, is under development to treat advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It works by binding to PSMA and giving off radiation that can damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to learn: - How safe is BAY3563254 in participants. - What is the recommended dose of BAY3563254 that is safe and works well that will be further tested in Part 2 of the study. - How well does BAY3563254 work in participants. To answer this, the researchers will look at: - The number and severity of medical problems including serious medical problems that participants experience after taking BAY3563254 - The number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) at each dose level. A DLT is a medical problem caused by a drug that is too severe to continue the use of that specific dose. - The number of participants whose cancer completely disappears (complete response) or reduces by at least 30% (partial response) after taking the treatment (also known as objective response rate (ORR)) - The number of participants who have a decrease in the levels of PSA* by at least 50% in their blood (also known as PSA50). PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland. High levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. - Participants' best response to treatment based on their PSA levels (also known as the best overall PSA response). The study will have two parts. The first part, called dose escalation, is done to find the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 for use in the second part of the study. For this, each participant will receive one of different increasing amounts of BAY3563254. They will take BAY3563254 as an injection into a vein. All participants in the second part of the study, called dose expansion, will receive the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 that was identified from the first part of the study. Participants in this study will take the study treatment once every 6 weeks, which is known as a treatment cycle. Each participant will have up to 4 of these treatment cycles, if the participant benefits from the treatment. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 6 years, including a screening phase of up to 30 days, 6 months of treatment depending on the participant's benefit, and a follow up phase of 60 months after the end of treatment. In addition, substudies performed during both dose escalation and dose expansion parts of the study will evaluate: - the clearance of radioactivity from the body over time - the doses of radiation that are delivered to normal organs and tumors - the ability of an experimental agent (Tris-POC) to decrease the amount of radiation absorbed by normal organs. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood and urine samples - check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature - examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) - take tumor samples if required - check if the participants' cancer has grown and/or spread using CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and bone scan - check the tumor status using PET (positron emission tomography) - check the amount of radiation absorbed by tumors and normal organs using SPECT/CT (single-photon emission tomography and computed tomography scan) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study. The treatment period ends with a visit in 6-12 weeks after the last BAY3563254 dose. About 6-12 weeks after the last dose and every 6 weeks thereafter, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health and any changes in their cancer. This active follow-up period ends after 18 months. The long-term follow-up period will start after the end of the active follow-up visit and will continue for up to 60 months after the the last BAY3563254 dose. Participants will be contacted, typically by phone call or clinic visit, approximately every 12 weeks after the end of active follow-up.
This study will use lung ultrasounds (LUS) to evaluate the incidence and severity of intraoperative atelectasis in anesthetized children undergoing minor surgery using a laryngeal mask airway. The children will be randomly assigned to be left in spontaneous ventilation with a Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 5cmH2O or to be ventilated with a pressure support mode.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of povorcitinib in participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa who completed the 54 weeks of study treatment within the originating parent Phase 3 studies (INCB 54707-301 [NCT05620823] or INCB 54707-302 [NCT05620836]).
The goal of this observational study is to: 1. develop and validate a health behavior theory-based questionnaire to examine the older adults' and informal caregivers' determinants of deprescribing behavior 2. assess the psychometric properties of this new instrument 3. analyze the moderating influence of health literacy and locus of control on the effect of the determinants on deprescribing intention or behavior. Participants will be involved in the validating process by completing the questionnaire to be validated, as well as the HLS19_Q12 for health literacy and the MHLC questionnaire for locus of control.
The purpose of this study is to compare disease free survival (DFS) in participants with recurrence of papillary-only high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) within 1 year of last dose of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy and who refused or are unfit for Radical Cystectomy (RC), receiving TAR-200 versus investigator's choice of single agent intravesical chemotherapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of HMB-001 in Participants with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Parts A, B, and C: To determine the safety and tolerability of HMB-001 - Part A: To establish the dose level(s) and dosing interval(s) of HMB-001 to be investigated in Parts B and C - Parts B and C: To estimate the ability of HMB-001 to prevent the number and severity of bleeds Part A will assess differing singular doses of HMB-001 in small groups of participants. The dose administered to a newly enrolled participant (or groups of participants) may only increase if analysis of data from previous dosing shows it is safe to do so. The planned duration of participation in Part A is approximately 6 months, which consists of a Screening Period, an optional Run-in Observation Period, and a follow-up period of 8 weeks. Part B is similar to Part A as it involves testing different dose levels of HMB-001 in small groups of participants. However, in Part B, HMB-001 is given multiple times over a 3-month period, either weekly, every 2 weeks, or every 4 weeks. Part B consists of a Screening Period, a Run-in Observation Period, a 3-month Treatment Period, and a Safety Follow-up following the last dose of HMB-001. Part C is open to participants from Part B and consists of approximately a 9-month Treatment Period and a Safety Follow-up following the last dose of HMB-001.
The main objective of this observational study is to use commonly-used connected objects (smartphones and smartwatches) to remotely assess and monitor the health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of people with Parkinson's disease at different stages of progression.
Neurofeedback training, based on operant conditioning techniques, involves the measurement and conscious regulation of specific neural parameters through participant-specific feedback. This technique has gained recognition for its role in efficiently altering brain activity. Among its various applications, neurofeedback training is noted for its ability to facilitate meditative practice and enhance stress regulation abilities. However, most neurofeedback studies focus on modulating isolated brainwaves and overlook how brainwaves interact across frequencies. To address this gap, the present study will evaluate an intervention that combines meditation techniques with a novel cross-frequency neurofeedback training to enhance the outcomes of meditative practice for stress regulation. Previous research has established that brain rhythms exhibit interactive patterns, forming harmonic and non-harmonic relationships to respectively facilitate and preclude cross-frequency coupling. Harmonic relationships are essential for the synchronization of oscillations, a process necessary for coordinating complex neural and physiological activities. In contrast, non-harmonic relationships result in a highly desynchronized state characterized by reduced neural and physiological coordination, typically observed during cognitive restful periods. In this regard, prior studies have demonstrated a link between an increased occurrence of non-harmonic alpha-theta ratios and mindfulness meditation. Recent research has shown the possibility of upregulating the incidence of non-harmonic alpha-theta ratios during mindfulness meditation in a single-session neurofeedback training context. However, the impact of long-term training on stress regulation abilities remains unclear. The current study addresses this gap by conducting a 10-session neurofeedback training focused on upregulating the incidence of non-harmonic alpha-theta ratios during focused attention meditation. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of this training in assisting mindfulness practice and improving stress regulation as assessed by a range of neurophysiological, psychological, and biological outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of either talquetamab plus pomalidomide (Tal-P) or talquetamab plus teclistamab (Tal-Tec) with elotuzumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (EPd) or pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (PVd).
Previous studies have shown that healthy individuals who take more steps per day and who spend more time on moderate- to vigorous-intensity activities exhibit better pain inhibition and less pain facilitation. Furthermore, exercise training (i.e., exercise performed over a number of sessions) can result in reduced pain sensitivity (increased pressure pain threshold). However, the optimal exercise prescription required to achieve pain sensitivity reduction is currently unclear. The next step is to determine experimentally whether increasing physical fitness will lead to positive effects on central pain processing (i.e., pain sensitivity, pain modulation, spinal nociception). The aim of this study is to examine the effects of two exercise programs on central pain processing in healthy sedentary individuals. In case of positive effects, this would provide a rationale for the future to investigate this in chronic pain patients with impaired pain modulation.
