Filter by:Veterans who use prosthetic limbs commonly suffer from skin problems such as scars that create discomfort and pain to the point that wearing the prosthesis is no longer tolerable. The Veteran must then discontinue prosthetic use to allow healing prior to wearing the limb again. Current treatments for skin problems include manual scar mobilization and massage, stretching, desensitization techniques, pain medication, prosthetic adjustment, steroid injection, scar excision and others. Most of these have not proven to be a long-term solution. A dermatologic procedure common in non-amputees for scar and skin lesion management, fractionated laser therapy, may be a long-term solution minimizing discomfort, pain and time out of the prosthesis. This preliminary study seeks to determine if fractional laser therapy can improve prosthetic use, and quality of life of Veterans with amputation who use lower limb prostheses.
This is a multi-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, 4-arm study of nalbuphine ER (NAL ER). After meeting eligibility during the Screening Period, subjects will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to one of four treatment arms. - Arm 1: Placebo - Arm 2: 27 mg nalbuphine ER - Arm 3: 54 mg nalbuphine ER - Arm 4: 108 mg nalbuphine ER Each arm will be titrated to their fixed dose during the blinded 2-week Titration period followed by the 4-week Fixed Dose Period for a total of 6 weeks on drug.
The purpose of this study investigation of relationship between health literacy and physical activity, anxiety and depression, adherence to airway clearance techniques in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.
The investigators designed an observational multicenter explorative in vivo study to investigate the changes in ceftriaxone pharmacokinetics in blood and ascites. The investigators will include a total of 20 patients with liver cirrhosis admitted to the ward of participating hospitals. Patients are eligible when receiving ceftriaxone and concomitantly receive paracentesis. The investigators will collect all available waste blood samples of each participant, starting from study entry up until 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone. The investigators will collect all available waste ascites samples of each participant up until 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone. Duration of the trial: The study duration is variable and depends on the duration of ceftriaxone treatment and duration of hospital admission, which both are determined by the treating physician and is not influenced by study participation. Patients will be eligible for study inclusion when patients received (a single dose of) ceftriaxone treatment and undergo paracentesis during ceftriaxone treatment. The study will end 48 hours after the last dosing interval of ceftriaxone or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first. Study timeline: The investigators expect to enrol 1-2 participants every month. The total enrolment time will thus be approximately 12 months.
This study will assess the safety and tolerability of inhaled LTI-03 in treatment naïve participants with newly diagnosed IPF.
To compare the effect of daily oral dosing of leramistat over 12 weeks with placebo in participants aged 40 years or older with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Study RIN-PF-305 is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) over a 52-week period.
The ANNE sensor is a small, wire free device that is placed on the chest with a removable adhesive patch. It measures things like temperature, heart rate and breathing rate without the need for wires and large machines that are needed currently. The aim is to trial this sensor in a small group of participants to see how well it is tolerated and how well it measures. The aim is to see if the sensor could provide additional information to help the medical team detect when a participant is becoming unwell with less need for the participant to perform repeated tests. Participants will wear the sensor for 6 weeks continuously (apart from when it is charged for 4-6 hours each day). Participants can perform their usual activities whilst wearing the sensor but should not submerse the sensor in water for long periods of time.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how a human body processes ALE.F02 (pharmacokinetics profile) in patients with impaired liver function.
Cystic fibrosis is a systemic disease, which affects in particular the respiratory and digestive systems of patients, sites of chronic inflammation. A new combination of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor has proven its efficacy for the treatment of patients aged 12 years and over with two F508del mutations or a so-called "minimal function" mutation associated with one F508del mutation. European marketing authorization was obtained in August 2020 and access in France should therefore arrive soon. Given that this treatment targets new mutations and that the efficacy seems greater than with LUM/IVA, it is important to assess its impact on the microbiota and the pulmonary and digestive inflammation of patients. It is therefore a question of taking advantage of the experience of the Lum-Iva-Biota cohort, and the validated and operational sample circuit established in the various participating centers to set up a biological collection for the collection and storage of sputum and stools of patients during the first year of treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor, in order to study the effect of treatment on the lung and digestive microbiota/mycobiota and inflammation.
