Filter by:The primary aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary evidence of efficacy of a self-guided, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based mobile app intervention (SparkRx) for symptoms of depression among adolescents being treated in specialty medical care settings at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA).
This study will assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of THE-630 in participants with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see if using a micro-current through a device called a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) unit helps to improve functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) symptoms in children by stimulation of the vagus nerve. The study will compare two methods of stimulation to determine if there is a difference in the two methods.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of treatment (medical and/or surgical) on Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Complex Perianal Fistula (CPF), by the Quality of Life in patients with Anal Fistula Questionnaire (QoLAF-Q), at 12 months after treatment initiation in routine clinical practice.
The sarcopenia is defined as a loss of muscle mass and a loss of muscle function ( strength or performance). Some studies showed that the sarcopenia increase the postoperative complications and the overall survival in abdominal surgery. But the sarcopenia is not evaluated in the Hepatobiliary surgery. This prospective, monconcentrique study aim to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia, and its associated morbimortality in hepatobiliary surgery for malignant or benign tumors.
This is a single blind, dose escalating, placebo-controlled, crossover study of gluten-degrading drug PvP001 administered to healthy volunteers (age 18-64 years). Subjects will be randomized to one of three groups representing different levels of gluten exposure - low, medium, or high - in a single meal. Within each gluten exposure group, increasing doses of PvP001 (or placebo) will be administered.
This trial aims to determine whether Hou Gu Mi Xi is an effective treatment for improving symptoms and indicators in patients with spleen qi deficiency and radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Patients who receive renal transplantation at Barnes Jewish Hospital (BJH) are placed on triple maintenance immunosuppression, which means that patients take 3 types of immunosuppression drugs to suppress their immune system including tacrolimus, mycophenolate (MPA), and prednisone. However, due to the effects of MPA on the gastrointestinal tract, patients often complain of GI adverse effects. Current practice is to either dose-reduce MPA or convert the patient to an alternative agent, typically Azathioprine. Both of these strategies have limitations, largely due to concerns related to efficacy. Everolimus (EVR) has demonstrated similar efficacy to MPA in renal transplantation and may offer a benefit related to GI adverse effects, so the investigators will convert patients to EVR in this study. Patients who are within their first year post-transplant will be converted to EVR upon enrollment in the study, and serial measurements ,or a series of measurements looking for an increase or decrease over time, of GI adverse effects will be conducted over 1 year post-enrollment.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of a four-week consumption of a fresh fermented dairy drink containing probiotic strains on Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea and Gastro-Intestinal disorders in adult subjects treated for Helicobacter pylori eradication.
