Filter by:This study will be a prospective, tandem-designed study to determine the proportion of clinically significant missed lesions when using a side- or oblique-viewing endoscope as compared to the standard forward-viewing endoscope. Utilizing standard endoscopy protocols in current practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital, consecutive adult patients undergoing ERCP for traditional reasons will undergo back-to-back tandem EGD and ERCP examinations. This process entails an EGD performed by an attending gastroenterologist first. Next, a second blinded attending gastroenterologist will perform ERCP immediately after index EGD. Both endoscopists will note any clinically significant findings, independent of the other providers procedural findings. Clinically significant findings defined as endoscopic findings that alter patient management (i.e., esophageal varices, peptic ulcer disease, hemorrhage, mass, etc.) during EGD and ERCP will be recorded. As previously stated, some institutions already routinely perform EGD with every ERCP.
This is a multi-site comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing annual fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) and colonoscopy for post-polypectomy surveillance among adults aged 65-82 with a history of colorectal polyps who are due for surveillance colonoscopy.
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of second line Bismuth containing quadruple therapy with supplementary probiotic for Helicobacter pylori eradication
Supplements and functional foods are now readily available and usable by the general population. Many supplemnets are commonly used in poly-treated patients where interactions or adverse events may develop, therefore we evaluate in the rela life the use of nutraceuticals, their clinical effects and the development of adverse drug reactions
This is an open label, randomized, phase Ⅱ, multi-cohort study to treat subjects with ctDNA Positive Gastric and Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma. The patients will be randomized into two arms consist of Penpulimab + Anlotinib (3 weeks/cycle) + XELOX and XELOX at a ratio of 1:1. This study is conducted to assess safety and anti-tumor activity of the monoclonal antibody Penpulimab in combination with Anlotinib and standard chemotherapy as adjuvant treatment for ctDNA-positive Gastric, or Gastroesophageal Junction Carcinoma.
This is the first clinical trial of IDRX-42. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary antitumor activity of IDRX-42 in adult participants with advanced (metastatic and/or surgically unresectable) GIST.
The aim of the current study, embedded in The Danish FGID Treatment Study, is to test Danish versions of Swedish i-CBT programs for children and adolescents with FGID in a Danish clinical context and to further evaluate the presence and impact of important psychological and parental factors.
This randomised controlled trial aims to determine the efficacy of a 12-week, smartphone-based Prosocial-orientated Acceptance and Commitment Training (PACT) programme plus age-appropriate positive parenting advice on the psychological flexibility, prosociality, parenting competence and family functioning with parents of children with special health care needs as well as the mental well-being of parent-child dyads over 12 months follow-up.
In this study, the investigators used the optical flow method to measure the colonoscopy withdrawal speed, and doctors were selected from multiple hospitals to collect prospective colonoscopy screening videos, and the percentage of colonoscopy withdrawal overspeed was calculated to explore the relationship between it based on optical flow method and the adenoma detection rate.
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
