NCT ID: NCT06307249 Recruiting - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

Precision Therapy for Solid Tumors: Synergistic CDK4/6 Inhibition and Anti-VEGF Targeting LncRNA

PTST_PALBEVA
Start date: February 15, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Solid tumors pose significant challenges in current therapeutic approaches. Targeted therapy has emerged as a promising avenue, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. This clinical trial focuses on an innovative combination of two targeted inhibitors, Palbociclib and Bevacizumab, for their potential synergistic effects in addressing these challenging malignancies. Moreover, this study incorporates a molecular approach by considering Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) as biomarkers. Initiating with a focus on colorectal cancer, the study aims to expand its scope to other solid tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian and other cancers. Palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, disrupts the cell cycle progression, particularly in cancer cells with specific molecular characteristics. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, targets angiogenesis-a critical process for tumor growth and metastasis. The rationale behind combining these agents lies in their complementary mechanisms of action, potentially leading to enhanced antitumor effects. LncRNAs have shown promise in predicting treatment response and prognosis in various cancers, providing an additional layer of precision to the treatment strategy. By elucidating the molecular basis through LncRNA analysis, the trial aims to tailor the treatment to the specific molecular profile of each patient, ultimately striving for better outcomes and improved survival rates. This novel combination therapy, coupled with a personalized biomarker-driven approach, represents a cutting-edge strategy in the pursuit of more effective and individualized treatment for solid tumors.

NCT ID: NCT06300684 Recruiting - Insomnia Clinical Trials

Exploring CBTi's Dual Effect on Sleep, Diet, & Chrononutrition

Start date: November 11, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to investigate the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) on both sleep patterns and dietary habits in Lebanese adults with insomnia. Sleep patterns and dietary habits are intricately linked, with dysregulated sleep associated with poor diet quality and increased snacking. Conversely, the types of nutrients consumed can affect hormonal balance and circadian rhythm. Insomnia and obesity are interrelated public health concerns, with CBTi showing efficacy in improving sleep. This study will recruit participants with insomnia and randomly assign them to receive either CBTi or basic sleep hygiene education. Baseline assessments will include validated questionnaires about insomnia, dietary habits, and physical activity and a 7-day 24-hour diet recall sheets, as well as actigraphy for sleep parameters, and physical activity assessments. The intervention will last for four weeks, with post-intervention assessments conducted similarly to baseline.

NCT ID: NCT06286176 Completed - Breast Feeding Clinical Trials

Start date: November 17, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study is a randomized control trial to assess the effect of a salutogenic intervention on breastfeeding initiation and duration of exclusive breastfeeding in Lebanon. In this Salutogenic intervention, infant feeding helpers will provide subjects of the intervention group breastfeeding related information , and will support these subjects by counseling and guiding them to find general resistance resources. This aims to increase sense of coherence and its parameters: comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, which are the base of salutogenesis.

NCT ID: NCT06277076 Completed - Dental Implant Clinical Trials

Accuracy of Computer- Guided Implant Surgery in Partially Edentulous Patients.

Start date: January 28, 2023

NCT ID: NCT06191471 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis

Hepatitis A Virus Induced Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis Diagnosed Postoperatively: Case Report

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

41-year-old previously healthy patient presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Pain started two days prior to presentation when an abdominal ultrasound in a peripheral hospital showed a 10 mm gallbladder stone with normal laboratory tests; however, her pain was resolved on analgesics. Now the pain was persistent and associated with vomiting and laboratory tests showed elevated bilirubin. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography was done that showed inflamed gallbladder but with no stones and normal cholangiography. Day one post-operation, while the pain resolved, labs showed elevated liver function tests and hepatitis workup showed acute HAV infection attributing her presentation to HAV induced AAC.
