Filter by:Thoracic radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy (with or without immunotherapy) is the cornerstone of management in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is parallel, Phase 4 study which consists of a 24 week (0.5 years) randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, 2-arm treatment period followed by an open label segment of 104 weeks (2 years) for a total of 128 weeks (2.5 years) to evaluate the effect of dupilumab treatment on esophageal function, and remodeling in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis. Duration of study period (per participant) - Screening period: Up to 12 weeks before Week 0 - Randomized double-blind period: 24 weeks - Open label period: 104 weeks - Post Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) intervention follow-up period: up to 12 weeks or until the participants switch to commercialized dupilumab, whatever comes first. There will be ten (10) site visits, and five (5) direct-to-participant IMP delivery visits (except if prohibited by local regulatory authorities or if participant is not willing. In this case, IMP will be dispensed at the study site).
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic antigen-mediated inflammatory disease of the esophagus that affects both children and adults. The incidence and prevalence of EoE is rapidly increasing in Western countries with an estimated incidence of 6.6 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI, 3-11.7) in children and 7.7 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI, 1.8-17.8) in adults. Clinically, it is characterized by various symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction, including vomiting, regurgitation, feeding difficulties, epigastric heartburn, dysphagia, or food bolus impaction, and may cause growth retardation. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical symptoms and histological evidence of eosinophilic infiltration of the esophagus (at least 15 eosinophils/high power microscope field (eos /hpf), excluding other etiologies of esophageal eosinophilia (gastroesophageal reflux disease, infectious esophagitis, achalasia, celiac disease and Crohn's disease, connective tissue disorders, gra ft versus host disease, drug hypersensitivity and hypereosinophilic syndromes). EoE is primarily characterized by a T helper 2 type inflammation, but the pathogenesis and the immunopathological mechanisms underlying the pathology are not yet fully understood. Recent evidence suggests that in genetically predisposed individuals, interaction with environmental factors (e.g., dietary lifestyle) may play a role in activating several inflammatory pathways and cause EoE. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are food and beverage products resulting from industrial formulations, ready for consumption, typically obtained with five or more ingredients from different manufacturing processes (cooking methods, addition of additives such as stabilizers or preservatives). During the last decade, the consumption of the latter has increased significantly among the pediatric population to represent 30% of the daily caloric intake of an average child in Europe and America. Recent evidences show that UPFs favor the onset of chronic non-communicable diseases through the activation of different inflammatory pathways. The components mostly represented in UPFs are the advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a heterogeneous group of highly oxidizing compounds that are formed through non-enzymatic reactions (Maillard reaction) between reduced sugars and free amino groups of proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. Evidence demonstrates that dietary AGEs are absorbed and contribute significantly to the total concentration of AGEs in the body. AGEs induce oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to structural and functional protein alterations, cellular apoptosis and multi-tissue/organ damage. These mechanisms are mediated at least in part by interactions with their cell-surface receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE). The AGEs-RAGE interaction modulates the immune response. AGEs are able to activate le mast cells, to stimulate the release of histamine and to induce a chronic inflammatory state that promotes a T helper 2 type response.
This is a retrospective monocentric observational study involving patients with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and controls (patients without EoE and GERD). To validate the EoE-related markers obtained with the EoE TaMMA web app (such as CCL26, TBX5, NOX4, FGF7, CXCL14, ADAMTS5, PDGFRA, CXCL12, ACVRL1, POSTN, and LTBP4), we will stain and analyze EoE, GERD, and controls Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples already stored in the pathological laboratory of OSR. For this reason, this project will be accomplished thanks to the collaboration with prof. Doglioni's team at OSR.
The efficacy of three different reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy will be investigated in this study through a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
Reflux esophagitis is a common clinical disease ; pPI or potassium competitive acid blocker ( P-CAB ) is the first choice for the treatment of reflux esophagitis. However, patients with recurrent symptoms and severe esophagitis ( Los Angeles grade C and D ) after long-term use of PPI or P-CAB usually need long-term maintenance treatment. Attention should be paid to the possible adverse reactions of long-term acid suppression therapy and the interaction between drugs. The main efficacy of Jinghua Weikang capsules is regulating qi and dispersing cold, clearing heat and removing blood stasis. Applicable to cold and heat syndrome, qi stagnation and blood stasis caused by epigastric distension, pain, belching, acid reflux, noisy, bitter taste ; duodenal ulcer see the above syndrome. In the early stage, a series of studies were carried out on Jinghua Weikang Capsule, which confirmed that Jinghua Weikang Capsule showed the effect of acid inhibition and symptom relief in the treatment of reflux esophagitis, and had a synergistic effect when combined with western medicine. However, Jinghua Weikang Capsule still lacks sufficient evidence to support the reduction of the recurrence rate of reflux esophagitis. Therefore, we carried out this experiment to explore the clinical efficacy of Jinghua Weikang Capsule in the maintenance treatment of reflux esophagitis, so as to reduce the recurrence rate of reflux esophagitis and relieve symptoms.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic condition of the esophagus. The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis can affect the quality of life of affected children. There is no French scale to specifically evaluate the quality of life of these patients. It will be a monocentric, prospective, descriptive study carried out at the Nice University Pédiatric Hospital. The main objective of this study will be the validation of a French version of the quality of life pediatric scale (PedsQL) module for eosinophilic esophagitis. It will take place in 2 distinct parts: - The translation of the questionnaire in French. - Collection of the quality of life questionnaires
To study the role of a novel endoscopic treatment technique (ARMA) in GERD patients who doesn't respond to PPI therapy (Proton Pump Inhibitor).
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a immuno-mediated disease, characterised by a Th-2 food-antigen driven chronic inflammatory response of the esophagus. Main symptoms are dysphagia and food bolus impaction, frequently overlapping with most atypical and general symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and difficulty to thrive in children. Overall incidence and prevalence of EoE are rapidly increasing. The complete comprehension of pathogenetic and molecular mechanism underlying this complex and relatively new disease is still to be conquered. For this reason, we created this EoE Biobank, in order to collect blood, oral and esophageal tissue samples of proven EoE patients to further exploit new insights of this disease.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of up to 12 months (52 weeks) of once daily oral administration of BLI5100 in patients with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) or healed erosive esophagitis (EE).
