Filter by: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.
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.
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. Duration of study 12 months (data lock point will be completion of 6 months' follow-up from the time of last patient's enrollment date) Safety Assessment: Patient will be monitored for Hypoglycemia, Dehydration, Hypotension, Urinary Tract Infections, Fungal Infections, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Abdominal Discomfort, Flatulence, Asthenia, Indigestion and Other side effects (if any). Follow up visits: After recruitment, patient is supposed to have three visits for follow-ups. Visit 1: 4 to 6 weeks of initiation of therapy. Visit 02: At 12 weeks of initiation of therapy. Visit 03: At 24 weeks of initiation of therapy. LABORATORY TESTING: Reputable Lab is considered for laboratory testing of diabetes patients i.e. HbA1C%, FBG, RFT and urine R/E. The certified clinical lab will be responsible for receiving and analyzing clinical sample. Patients will have special discount of upto 50% for study related laboratory investigations. Where in Urine Routine Examination (Urine R/E), we consider as follows: - Visual Examination: - Urine color: Normal (Yellow), Pale Yellow, Dark Yellow, Brown, Red or Pink or any other. - Urine clarity: Clear, slightly Cloudy, cloudy or turbidity - Chemical Examination: - Specific gravity - pH - Bilirubin - Urobilinogen - Protein - Ketone - Leukocyte Esterase - Microscopic Examination: - Red Blood Cells: - Epithelial Cells: - Amorphous: - Pus Cells - Bacteria - Yeast - Casts - Crystals Where in Renal Function Test (RFT), we consider as follows: - Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): mg/dL - Serum Creatinine: mg/dL - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): mL/min/1.73 m2
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a parenting intervention+usual care compared to usual care on postpartum depression and other mental health and parenting outcomes, as well as the feasibility and acceptability of the parenting intervention.
Based on the development of new tools, including drug coated balloon, paclitaxel eluting stent, interwoven stents, debulking tools, More and more acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity included stage IIb were treated with endovascular procedures. Most guidelines suggests only stage I and stage IIa lesions are suitable for endovascular treatments. Therefore, a well-designed real-world study that track the safety and clinical relevant outcomes, are required to determine the optimal therapies for patients with acute or subacute thromboembolic occlusions of lower extremity.
The Vienna Preserflo Microshunt Cohort Study is an observational study with a prospective postoperative examination in all glaucoma patients who had received a Preserflo Microshunt (PMS) as standalone procedure or in combination with cataract extraction in the time period between January and November 2019 at the Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna. It is estimated that approximately 70 patients will be included of this cohort. The cohort will be invited for a prospective postoperative examination after 12 (±5) months of follow up. This examination shall comprise best corrected visual acuity, visual field test, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, slit lamp examination, fundus examination (optic disc and retina), gonioscopic assessment of PMS position, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) (shunt position, anterior chamber angle assessment, limbus shape analysis), corneal pachymetry, specular microscopy of corneal endothelial cells. Additionally, retrospective information concerning IOP, medication and visual fields of all patients will be collected from the Department of Ophthalmology as well as from the referring ophthalmologists where possible. Additionally, we will perform a comparison between two groups to compare differences in outcome measures.
This study will primarily investigate the impacts of a one-time unconditional cash transfer on the well-being of recently homeless individuals. Secondary research questions will examine the impact of personal coaching for cash recipients and the impact of a workshop and coaching intervention for non-cash recipients.
