Filter by:Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation and is manifested by acute episodes of obstruction related to loss of control of airway inflammation mostly in response to a viral respiratory tract infection .The significance of eosinophilic inflammation in asthma is well established. Late clinical reactions in asthma are associated with increase of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in serum. Serum IgE can be used as a measure of allergen provocation causing increased eosinophil activity. Serum IgE can be used to assess the exposure to environmental allergens, or decreasing presence of allergen in the environment and the need for increase or reduction of therapy. Allergen immunotherapy is defined as the repeated administration of specific allergens to patients with IgE-mediated conditions for the purpose of providing protection against the allergic symptoms and inflammatory reactions associated with natural exposure to these allergens. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of sublingual versus subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy as regard clinical response, serum IgE and sputum eosinophils
This study aims to prove the efficacy and safety of low dose nivolumab (40mg as the lowest available presentation) in combination with AVD (adriamycin,vinblastine sulfate and dacarbazine) as frontline treatment for classic Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients may be unsatisfied to entecavir (ETV) therapy due to the inconvenience in drug taking, i.e., fasting for more than 2 hours and/or dose adjustment according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has been approved to be highly effective and safe in patients with CHB, and is convenient in drug taking, i.e., once daily regardless food taking and renal function.Therefore,TAF can be a good option in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the improvement on satisfaction (including drug adherence) of TAF switch therapy in CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy. In addition, with expected adherence improvement in TAF switch therapy, the efficacy of TAF switch therapy may be improved, and the efficacy benefits can be evaluated by the changes of some novel biomarkers, such as HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg). The investigators therefore aim to conduct a prospective cohort study of TAF switch therapy for CHB patients who are unsatisfied to ETV therapy.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Venetoclax plus IM2 regimen for relapsed and refractory T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia. Dosage of Venetoclax:100mg/d-400mg/d(dose adjustment when concomitant used with CYP3A inhibitor) for 1-28 days (at least 7 days); IM2 regimen: Ifosfamide 1-1.5g/m2/d for 5 days; Mitoxantrone 6-8g/m2/d for 3 days( or Liposome mitoxantrone 20mg/m2 d1 or Idarubicin 6-8mg/m2/d for 3 days) ;methotrexate 1-1.5g/m2/d for 1 day;
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard modality for locally advanced small-cell lung cancer, which could achieve median overall survival of 25 mos. Conventional fractionation of 66Gy/33f and hyperfractionation of 45Gy/30f twice daily have been acknowledged as the two standard radiotherapy modalities according to CONVERT study. In 2021, a phase II trial demonstrated that 60Gy/40f twice daily was superior to the standard 45Gy/30f twice daily in light of overall survival (2y OS 74.2% vs. 39% p=0.0005), which to some extent implied that higher dose may confer better survival. Hypofractionated radiotherapy was another useful modality to increase biological effective dose with the advantage of short course and convenience. The effectiveness and safety of 60Gy/15f has been demonstrated in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, this trial is designed to explore the safety and primary efficacy of hypofraction radiotherapy for stage III locally advanced small cell lung cancer.
Objective: To determine efficacy of dexamethasone in treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome. Study design: Randomized control trial. Place and duration: Services hospital, Neonatal unit, Lahore. During time span of 1st January to 30th June 2021. Material and methods Total 100 neonates were randomly divided in two groups. Group A (n=50) was treated with dexamethasone (Cases) and Group B (n=50) served as control. Dexamethasone was given in dose of 0.2mg/kg, 12 hourly for 7 days after confirmation of diagnosis. Infants present in clinical trial were evaluated by ventilation duration (invasive and non-invasive), oxygen therapy and hospital stay.
This study aims to compare the mid- and long-term outcomes between paclitaxel-coated balloon and primary selective stenting in the treatment of TASC C/D femoropopliteal artery occlusive disease.
Darvadstrocel is an expanded allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease. Safety and efficacy of the procedure has been sufficiently demonstrated and the Spanish Agency of Medication approved its application a few months ago. Being aware about the difficulties to a proper application and management of the stem cells the Spanish Stem Cell therapy group devised, in a joint activity with the Spanish Group GERM (Grupo Español de Rehabilitacion Multimodal) dedicated to expand the best surgical clinical practices, a national project for the application of the therapy. The objective is to get a homogeneous implementation in all hospitals in Spain that have being baked to use this biological therapy.
Endocopic remission rates of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis are low. Biologics including Vedolizumab, infliximab, and adalimumab are effective in induction and maintainence of ulcerative colitis. The role of 5-ASA in promoting a higher rate of endocsopic remission is unclear. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of combination of 5-ASA and biologics in treating ulcerative colitis.
Study Objective To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Empagliflozin with or without metformin in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in the Pakistani population. Study design Open-label, prospective, observational, single arm, multi-center, post-marketing surveillance study. Sample size The estimated sample size will be n=156.
