Filter by:Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of Twin Maternal-Child Dyads in China (ChiTwiMC) is supported by National Key Research and Development Program of China - Reproductive Health and Women's and Children's Health Protection Project. This project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China under grant number 2023YFC2705900. The ChiTwiMC cohort is led by Professor Wei Yuan from the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Peking University Third Hospital.
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common shoulder diseases and conservative treatment is commonly used for tears involving ≤50% of tendon thickness. Since conventional conservative treatments are not fundamental to repair tendon tissue, there is a growing need of new therapy to improve structural outcome. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of allogeneic fibroblasts on partial-thickness rotator cuff tear. The primary outcome is change in Constant Score (CS) at 24 weeks after TPX-115 injection. Secondary outcomes include changes from baseline in CS, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and functional evaluations including Range of Motion (ROM) at 4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks after administration and structural evaluation using MRI at 24 and 52 weeks after injection.
The VICAD-RISK study assesses if visualization of coronary CT angiography images in participants with non-obstructive coronary artery disease will improve LDL lowering, reduce reporting of side effects by cholesterol lowering medications, and modify the coronary artery disease phenotype over 12 months.
In this project the investigators aim to identify new biological markers by characterizing the response/inflammation associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis with the aim of increasing current knowledge available on the development and progression of lung disease.
VIVHEART EasyCross™ is a self-centering device for inserting a guidewire through a heart valve. It consists in a temporary catheter inserted into an artery with a terminal part able to expand a distal structure with 6 arms ("basket") to allow distancing of the catheter from the vessels walls and thus facilitating the passage of the guide wire through the aortic valve. The device is expected to reduce the attempts and the time needed to cross the valve and improves the safety of TAVR procedure
This study aims to slow down disease progression, reduce postoperative complications and decrease retreatment frequency in subjects with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by administering a single subretinal injection of RRG001 gene therapy after vitrectomy.
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is an orphan disease that affects approximately 20,000 people in the United States and is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Since RRP is an orphan disease, it is an understudied disease entity with correspondingly few treatment options. The investigators hypothesize that by understanding the biology of RRP and the failed host immune responses against HPV, novel and rational therapies can be developed. This study will examine the genetic and immunologic alterations found in these rare tumors and distant metastatic involved sites (such as the lung) in patients diagnosed with RRP.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of NIDO-361 in adult patients with Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA).
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the leading cause of death and disability. Identification of patients at high risk of cardiovascular events is pivotal. However, current risk stratification based on imaging and known biomarkers is suboptimal. The objective of this proposal is to develop a multicriteria decision model for non-invasive assessment of vulnerable atherosclerotic patients and to evaluate its ability to predict the occurrence of an adverse event in intermediate-to-high risk patients with suspected or known CAD. The planned workflow includes a first step using a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography (CCTA) to develop an integrated application for automatic coronary artery segmentation, quantitative plaque analysis, biomechanics and fluid dynamics, based on machine learning, radiomics and computational analysis approaches and validated against the reference standard for each tool. The second step will apply this new methodology to a larger retrospective cohort of patients with the integration of genomic biomarker assessment to derive the most accurate risk stratification model to properly identify vulnerable patients and vulnerable plaques with respect to outcome. Finally, in the third step, the derived predictive model will be prospectively validated in an independent cohort of patients from an ongoing study (CTP-PRO study) to assess the robustness and accuracy of the proposed solution.
Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in identifying and monitoring cancers and has shown promise in identifying scarring in the heart as well. This will help us not only understand the underlying disease process and risk stratify these patients but also potentially help us develop new targeted therapies that can affect heart muscle scarring. Participants will undergo a baseline MRI scan using this new dye and a plain MRI scan will repeated 12-18 months after to see if there are any changes in the process.
