Filter by:A proof-of-concept placebo-controlled trial to explore the acute and 14-day effects of empagliflozin on natriuresis and total body water in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. We will additionally investigate its effect on neurohumoral activation, and renal hemodynamics.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) versus placebo for treating muscle cramps in cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp frequency in cirrhotic patients - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on muscle cramp duration and severity in cirrhotic patients - Compared the effect of BCAA versus placebo on quality of life in cirrhotic patients with muscle cramps Participants with cirrhosis who have experienced muscle cramps at least once per week will be randomized to receive either a placebo or 12.45 grams of BCAA orally per day for 12 weeks.
This study will evalute the effect of a low glycemic load (LGL diet on dysglycemia, insulin requirements, DXA-derived body composition, gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life measures in adults with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). We will use continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to assess the LGL diet both in a controlled setting (via a meal delivery company) and in free-living conditions.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous SHR-1906 in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The study is divided into four stages: screening period, baseline period, treatment period and safe follow-up period. It is planned that 108 patients will be randomly assigned to the following three treatment groups for treatment
Some cystic fibrosis patients are unable to digest food and absorb nutrition appropriately as they have a condition known as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Currently, these patients take pancreatic enzymes that are obtained from pig pancreas to aid the digestion of food. The goals of this clinical study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel formulation of a non-porcine lipase, called adrulipase, in patients with EPI due to cystic fibrosis. The main question[s] the study aims to answer are: 1. Is the novel formulation of adrulipase safe to use at the doses being evaluated in the clinical study. 2. Is adrulipase as effective, or more effective, compared to the pig enzymes the patients currently use. Researchers will compare the results obtained with adrulipase to how the patients typically respond to their pig enzymes to see if adrulipase helps patients digest fats adequately and if their stomach feels good (signs and symptoms of malabsorption).
Albumin infusion in patients with hospitalized decompensated, even in short-term period use, could improve survival through the reduction of systemic inflammation, which is the main driver of acute-on-chronic liver failure in cirrhosis. The effects could be highly associated with the albumin dosage. A comprehensive evaluation of the inflammation response by robust measurement is needed to prove insights into the therapeutic implications of albumin infusion. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of different amount of human albumin infusion per week in patients with hospitalized decompensated cirrhosis on 28-day transplant-free survival and to further compare the alleviation of inflammation, reduction of incidence of nosocomial infection, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), acute kidney injury (AKI), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and 90-day transplant-free survival. This will be a multicenter, national, retrospective study. There will be no randomization in this retrospective study. All patients who meet the inclusion criteria and not the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. All identified patients who meet criteria will be given an ID number comprised of a site number and patient number.
The infection of COVID-19 has caused serious threat to the life and health of all mankind and increased huge economic burden. According to the current statistics, the incidence of pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19 infection is about 27.7% -87%, 81% of severe patients and 37% of moderate patients have residual lung lesions, and 53% of patients still have residual lung abnormalities one year after infection, resulting in restrictive pulmonary dysfunction and affecting the health and life of patients. Therefore, it is very important to study the diagnostic and prognostic markers of pulmonary fibrosis after infection of COVID-19. At present, relevant studies have been carried out on imagomics and serum proteomics of pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19 infection, and serum biomarkers and imagomics marker models for diagnosing pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19 pneumonia have been developed. However, there are few studies combining imageomics and serum proteomics, and the mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19 has not been fully clarified. In this study, it is planned to recruit patients with moderate, severe and critical COVID-19 pneumonia infection, collect venous blood from subjects, and perform chest HRCT follow-up. Blood samples were screened by proteomics and verified by expanded samples to screen diagnostic and prognostic markers of pulmonary fibrosis after COVID-19 infection. At the same time, based on deep learning technology, a model was developed to predict the occurrence and prognosis of pulmonary fibrosis after infection of COVID-19 combined with clinical characteristics, serum markers and AI imagomics, so as to provide ideas for further elucidating the mechanism of occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis after infection of COVID-19.
A Phase I, Double blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Orally Administered 'CG-745' Capsule in Healthy Male Volunteers
Determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of ARCT-032 in healthy adult subjects (Phase 1) and of two doses in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis (Phase 1b).
Approximately 1 in 5 (or 12.7 million adults) in the UK have longstanding respiratory illnesses, and 6.5 million patients report taking prescription medication to ease the burden. Many patients suffer from lung tissue damage, which impairs adequate blood oxygenation and reduces blood saturations, and causes breathlessness. The current method of treatment is palliative - with the patient breathing supplemental oxygen through an oxygen cylinder and tube. This severely compromises patients' quality of life, as they are tethered to a heavy, unwieldy oxygen cylinder, limiting their ability and willingness to leave home. Several recent studies in both animals and humans have indicated that orally administered oxygenated nanobubbles is a safe intervention that can improve tissue oxygenation. This randomized, double-blinded, cross-over, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the effect of an oxygen nanobubbles drink on the exercise performance of patients with chronic lung disease, such as pulmonary fibrosis. Patients will conduct the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) twice, once with a placebo drink and once with the oxygen nanobubbles drink, based on a double-blind randomization protocol, and this study will evaluate the distance walked, heart rate, oxygen levels, breathlessness, and time to recovery in both cases. The investigators hypothesize that drinking the oxygen nanobubbles drink will improve the delivery of oxygen to vital organs, improving the distance a patient can cover in the 6 Minute Walk Test by 30m, which is the minimum clinically important difference.
