Filter by:Anti-angiogenesis Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been proved to show promising effects on prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced sarcoma after failure of standard multimodal Therapy. Methylsulfonic apatinib is one of those TKIs which specifically inhibits VEGFR-2. This study summarizes the experience of three Peking University affiliated hospitals in off-label use of apatinib in the treatment of extensively pre-treated sarcoma.
This study assesses the efficacy and safety of treatment with two-week probiotics followed by a 10-day tetracycline- and furazolidone-containing quadruple regimen as rescue treatment for H. pylori infection. Eradication was evaluated using the 13C-urea breath test at 4 weeks after the end of therapy, and side effects were recorded. Besides study gene-level changes in the gastric microbiota following use of probiotics.
In Denmark, every 4 birth induced, most often due to prolonged pregnancy, up til 10-12 days after term. A group (RADS) set up by the Danish Regions has recently recommended induction with prostaglandins in tablet form (Angusta®). The recommendation is based primarily on the results of a meta-analysis published by the Cochrane Library, where various prostaglandin medications were compared. Vaginal prostaglandin insert (Misodel®) have proved safe in American Studies and is registered in Denmark for use of induction. Misodel® was not included in RADS's evaluation, as there are only few studies on the effectiveness and side effects. In the current study, investigators want to compare two different regimes for the induction of primipara who use respectively Misodel® and Angusta® as the primary method. The study is based on prospective collection of data from three divisions in Region Zealand, where investigators primarily compare the efficacy and safety but also to evaluate women's experience, the cost of medicine and consumption of resources in the maternity wards.
This study will be a randomised, double-blind, multiple dose (14 days), placebo-controlled, multi-center study to assess efficacy and safety of three dose levels of AZD7594, given once daily by inhalation, in patients with mild to moderate asthma.
The objectives of this study are to explore the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous injections of Deoxycholic Acid relative to placebo, in the submental area of participants who are 65 to 75 years old.
There is a worldwide trend to minimally invasive interventions, which results in increasing numbers of interventions performed outside of the operating room. Currently, approximately 12 to 15% of total anaesthetic workload is non-operating room anaesthesia (NORA) and this anaesthetic activity is increasing. Many of these interventions need supplementary comfort measures to have relaxed patients and high success rates. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is performed >50,000 times per year in the U.S.,and is a typical minimally invasive intervention that needs patient sedation. There is a controversy about the optimal comfort intervention in minimally invasive interventions and in particular in ERCP. Two different approaches to insure patients' comfort have been proposed: general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or sedation with spontaneous ventilation. Well-performed studies on sedation versus general anaesthesia using a randomized controlled trial design with observer blinding will contribute to improve the decision-making for the optimal comfort measures in minimally invasive procedures. At our knowledge such a randomized controlled trial has not been reported before. The investigators hypothesize that deep sedation without tracheal intubation will achieve similar success rates for ERCP as general anaesthesia and will have similar rates of harmful postoperative effects. The primary aim of this trial is to demonstrate that the success rate of ERCP is not inferior in patients randomized to deep sedation without orotracheal intubation vs general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation. Secondary aims include a comparison between randomization groups of patient safety, patient and endoscopist satisfaction, duration of patient recovery and of anesthesia procedure.
The objectives of this study are to explore the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous injections of Deoxycholic Acid relative to placebo, in the submental area in patients with mild or extreme fullness of the submental fat and ratings of 1 or 4.
The present study evaluate the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided ethanol-lipiodol ablation for the treatment of pancreatic NET
To investigate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumour activity of AZD5363, as monotherapy, in patients with metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer. AZD5363 will be investigated in patients who have progressed after chemotherapy (Part A) and in patients who have progressed before receiving chemotherapy (Part B). Recruitment into Part A, Group 1 has been suspended. A new design for this group is currently being evaluated. Part A, group 2 patients (progressed after 1 or more 2nd generational anti-hormonal therapies) will receive AZD5363 480mg bid intermittently (4 days on/3days off). Part B will only start if there is evidence of anti-tumour activity along with AZD5363 having an acceptable safety profile in Part A. Part B will be conducted in pre-chemotherapy patients on a dose and schedule selected from Part A.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether iloperidone is effective in the treatment of Schizophrenia.
