NCT ID: NCT03650517 Recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Minimally Invasive Right Colectomy Anastomosis Study

MIRCAST
Start date: November 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Right colectomy (hemicolectomy) involves the removal of the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure, the first one-third of the transverse colon, part of the terminal ileum, and the associated regional fat and lymph nodes, and is the accepted treatment for malignant neoplasms of the right colon. A minimally invasive approach is commonly used for right colectomy, with studies reporting reduced complications, less blood loss, and hospital stay when compared to an open approach. However, there remains controversy regarding whether robotic assistance is advantageous for this technique and whether an intracorporeal (ICA) or extracorporeal anastomosis (ECA) is best. MIRCAST is a prospective, observational, international, multi-center, 4-parallel-cohorts study. Sites or surgeons will select a cohort of the study for which they are qualified. Four cohorts will be the subject of study: 1. Robotic Right Colectomy with ICA 2. Robotic Right Colectomy with ECA 3. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ICA 4. Laparoscopic Right Colectomy with ECA All patient assessments will be done according to the sites standard of care. Parameters routinely recorded during right colectomy surgery will be collected prospectively. Enrolled subjects will undergo assessments at the following intervals: pre-operative, operative, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery.

NCT ID: NCT03650114 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

Long-term Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness Study of Ofatumumab in Patients With Relapsing MS

ALITHIOS
Start date: December 28, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety, tolerability, effectiveness and health outcomes data in eligible subjects who have participated in a Novartis ofatumumab clinical MS study. Vaccination sub-study The purpose of this research sub-study is to find out the effects of ofatumumab on the development of antibody responses to selected vaccines and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) neo-antigen in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).

NCT ID: NCT03626688 Recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Ralinepag to Improve Treatment Outcomes in PAH Patients

Start date: August 30, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Study ROR-PH-301, ADVANCE OUTCOMES, is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ralinepag when added to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) standard of care or PAH-specific background therapy in subjects with World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 PAH.

NCT ID: NCT03513614 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Node-positive Breast Cancer

Tailored Axillary Surgery With or Without Axillary Lymph Node Dissection Followed by Radiotherapy in Patients With Clinically Node-positive Breast Cancer (TAXIS)

TAXIS
Start date: August 7, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: The use of tailored axillary dissection as a tailored procedure will avoid surgical overtreatment by selectively removing the lymph nodes that are affected by the cancer, thereby sparing many women the unnecessary complications of a radical surgery, providing a better quality of life while keeping the same efficacy. PURPOSE: The phase III trial is evaluating the optimal treatment for breast cancer patients in terms of surgery and radiotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT03488771 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Kidney Transplant Rejection

Evaluation of Cell-mediated Immune Response by QuantiFERON Monitor® Assay in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Start date: March 5, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

All kidney transplant recipients require immunosuppression, the net level of which is difficult to assess. Current practice in assessing immune reactivity is to monitor levels of some immunosuppressive drugs. QuantiFERON Monitor® (QFM) is an in vitro diagnostic test that detects interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release in peripheral blood. Its clinical utility in assessment of the net state of immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients has not been well studied. The aim of our study is to evaluate the discriminating value of QFM testing results for infection and rejection in a single-centre cohort of kidney transplant recipients.

NCT ID: NCT03467958 Recruiting - Crohn Disease Clinical Trials

An Extension Study of Oral Ozanimod for Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

Start date: August 24, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is an extension study to evaluate safety and efficacy of ozanimod in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.

NCT ID: NCT03464097 Recruiting - Crohn Disease Clinical Trials

A Placebo-Controlled Study of Oral Ozanimod as Maintenance Therapy for Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

Start date: June 27, 2018
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a study to demonstrate the effect of oral ozanimod as maintenance therapy in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.

NCT ID: NCT03429127 Recruiting - Benign Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Normal Saline Vrs Balanced i.v. Fluids in Neurosurgery

Start date: March 23, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the balanced fluids therapy change plasma osmolality in neurosurgical procedures due to brain tumors, meningeomas and arterio-venous malformation.

NCT ID: NCT03321201 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pterygium of Conjunctiva and Cornea

Cauterization Versus fibrin Glue for Conjunctival Autografting in Primary Pterygium Surgery

Start date: May 8, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pterygium is a noncancerous growth of the conjunctival tissue over the cornea. It is a progressive disease that may lead to visual impairment in advanced stages, as well as restriction of ocular motility, chronic inflammation and cosmetic concerns. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice, but recurrence of pterygium is a frequent problem. In this randomized controlled cauterization will be compared with fibrin glue for conjunctival autografting in primary pterygium surgery.

NCT ID: NCT03253237 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Primary Care - Continuous Glucose Monitoring

PC-COSMO
Start date: August 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Introduction and objective: The key to optimal diabetes management is tight glucose control. Hemoglobin A1c is the gold standard to assess glycemic control but in cases of unrecognized hypoglycemia, confusing nighttime events or in cases of large variations in blood glucose, a haemoglobin A1c can not detect specific movement of blood glucose. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides informations of glucose levels in a real-time format and may be helpful for making the personalized therapy decisions desired in the era of precision medicine. Our aim is to analyse the benefit of tracking patterns of glucose values by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with T2DM in family medicine office.
