Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of umbralisib and ublituximab (U2) as salvage therapy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have progressed either on a BTK inhibitor (BTKi) or BCL-2 inhibitor. The study will evaluate this combination in two parallel cohorts and subjects will be assigned based on which class of novel agent-containing regimen was used prior. Cohort A will consist of patients who progress after BTKi containing regimens and Cohort B will consist of patients who progress after a BCL-2 containing regimen. Subjects who progress on a regimen containing both a BTKi and a BCL-2 inhibitor, will be enrolled in cohort B. Each cohort will be evaluated independently of each other.
To evaluate the benefit of SAbR for oligo-progressive metastatic urothelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of giving atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab in patients with stage 4 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has gotten worse while receiving osimertinib.
In a randomized, doubleblind and placebo-controlled trial we assess both clinical and cellular effects of atorvastatin in patients with liver cirrhosis. 162 participants will be allocated to atorvastatin 10-20 mg or placebo for 18 months. Clinical outcomes of survival, hospitalizations and safety will be evaluated. Also, the trial will investigate cellular functions in the liver by mass spectrometry proteomics, and single cell transcriptomics as well as exploring atorvastatin effects on different fenotypes by metagenomics.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of brigatinib and binimetinib in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer and a type of gene mutation called a rearrangement in the ALK or ROS1 genes. Brigatinib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to look at a blood marker of inflammation in early untreated Parkinson's disease.
The diagnosis and treatment trajectory of cancer can constitute a traumatic event because these can be perceived as sudden, catastrophic and life threatening. One common mental disorder following traumatic events is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), described as reexperiencing of the event (e.g., having intrusive thoughts), having avoidance of trauma memories, emotional numbing, and experiencing hyperarousal symptoms. To date, and to the best of the investigator's knowledge, few studies have focused on PTSD in advanced cancer, but the existing data show that these patients are at risk for experiencing PTSD symptoms. Among the early interventions for preventing PTSD in people confronted by traumatic events is group debriefing, the retelling of the event, receiving empathy and compassion, and being encouraged to express feelings. However, four meta-analyses found debriefing to be ineffective. A neuroscience-based and evidence-based alternative may be the Memory Structuring Intervention (MSI) that tries to shift trauma processing from a limbic, emotional and somatic level to a frontal-cortical, cognitive and verbal level of processing. The MSI tries to achieve this shift by teaching people confronted with traumatic events to chronologically organize the segments of the event, to verbally label feelings or somatic sensations rather than re-experience them, and to provide causal links between the event's segments and causality to their feelings and sensations Since in males, sympathetic responses were more predictive of PTSD than in females , parasympathetic activation may be needed to be added to the MSI, for men. A main branch of the parasympathetic response is the vagus nerve, whose non-invasive index is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). One way to increase HRV, and thus parasympathetic activation, is through vagal breathing (i.e., deep, paced breathing). Therefore, adding to the MSI deep vagal breathing (VB) to reduce sympathetic hyperactivity, may increase connectivity between the amygdala and the frontal cortex. This may also increase the emotional regulation possibly yielded by the MSI, however in both genders. The effects of the MSI + vagal breathing on PTSD symptoms and on prognosis in advanced cancer patients receiving announcement of terminal cancer have never been investigated. Furthermore, whether reduced inflammation and increased emotional regulation may account for such effects needs to be investigated at the fundamental level. This project reflects the merging of neuroscience, psychooncology and psychoneuroimmunology for better understanding and treating cancer patients, as well as their partners.
Prospective, open-label, single-center, study to investigate the effect of sevoflurane sedation compared to a propofol-controlled arm during COPD exacerbation requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in ICU. Primary outcome measure: Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients, Secondary outcomes measures: Respiratory mechanics (Maximum pressure, PEEPi and PEEPtot, trapped volume), Gas exchange by the help of blood gases, The heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetry, Evolution of pulmonary inflammation, Trophicity and contractility of the diaphragm,
This is a single-arm, single-site pilot of Radium-223 (55 kBq/kg) IV q3 weeks for up to 6 doses in combination with Atezolizumab 1200mg IV once every 3 weeks until investigator determined lack of benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or 17 doses in patients with urothelial carcinoma with bone metastases who have disease progression after platinum-containing chemotherapy.
This is a pilot study to investigate the effect of danirixin hydrobromide 35 milligram (mg) tablets on lung function and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in subjects with mild to moderate airflow obstruction and a demonstrated history of decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Specifically, this study aims to assess whether or not danirixin has the potential to impact disease progression in subjects with a COPD progression score indicating they are likely to decline based on 5 year data from a COPDGene study and support the conduct of a larger Phase III study for disease progression. Subjects will receive either placebo or danirixin 35 mg tablets (as hydrobromide hemihydrate salt) twice daily for 52 weeks (12months). Study subjects will continue with their standard of care inhaled medications (i.e. long acting bronchodilators with or without inhaled corticosteroids) while receiving study treatment. This study will be an ancillary study within the COPDGene study investigating the enrichment strategy for assessing disease progression. Potential subjects most likely to decline from the well established COPDGene cohort, will be based on data collected over the initial 5 year period. With the use of an enriched population, it is anticipated that one year of treatment will be sufficient to detect a trend in altering disease progression. Approximately 130 subjects will be screened to enroll 100 subjects in this study. The data from this study will provide useful information in determining whether to progress to a Phase III study to explore an indication for slowing disease progression.
