Filter by:Kidney donors represent healthy patients and their anticipated postoperative course should be uncomplicated and brief. This study looks to optimize the perioperative pain regimen of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy patients by minimizing or eliminating narcotics from the immediate post-operative period. Current postoperative standard of care after donor nephrectomy require narcotic analgesics. While narcotics are potent pain medications, they are often associated with complications including nausea, vomiting and dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract causing prolonged complications. The investigators seek to evaluate a peri-operative pain regimen limiting the usage of narcotics. This incorporates a perioperative analgesic course utilizing combination of an intravenous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), intravenous acetaminophen, and intravenous ketamine. All three have been demonstrated to be effective for the control of perioperative pain while decreasing narcotics use. Prior to surgery, participants will be consented and randomly assigned to receive the standard of care perioperative pain management using intravenous narcotics as a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) by itself plus placebo or along with the new protocol. The study will demonstrate it the new protocol will limit or eliminate the need for narcotics as a patient-controlled dose during the postoperative period. Upon discharge from the hospital, patients will be followed in clinic and via home questionnaires annually for 5 years to evaluate satisfaction, renal function and quality of life.
The primary purpose is to determine the safety and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin in combination with other anti-cancer treatments (in each sub-study), and to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose for each combination treatment to explore in the cohort expansion phase. This study is the sub study of the Master protocol (NCT04126200).
This will be an open-label, prospective, single-centre, randomised, controlled, parallel-group medical device investigation. The investigational plan will include four visits in total at the investigational site. One visit (Visit 2) will consist in the hospitalisation period and will last 3/4 days. Patients will be admitted to hospital in the day preceding the TURBT (Day -1; in case the TURBT is programmed in the morning) or in the day of the TURBT (Day 0; in case the TURBT is programmed in the afternoon) and will stay in the hospital for 3/4 days after the intervention (performed on Day 0). Patients will then be discharged, if considered as appropriate based on Investigator's judgment, following the removal of the catheter and the first clear urination. Patients will be asked to remain in the same geographic area of the investigational site up to the end of study visit.
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) or nasal polyposis is a frequent disease leading to a decreased quality of life. The validated course of treatment is firstly a medical one with saline irrigations and topical corticosteroids, followed by surgery (ethmoidectomy) if the medical treatment fails. In many cases, CRSwNP becomes a recurrent disease despite maximal treatment as previously indicated and it becomes refractory, with a chronically reduced quality of life. New treatments known as Biologics or Biotherapies in France such as Dupilumab are now available in situations of severe recurrent CRSwNP despite the appropriate treatment. The goal of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of Dupilumab and patient satisfaction, in a cohort of french patients, focusing on the change in quality of life that is expected from said treatment, over a period of one year. Patients will undergo 6 months of treatment with Dupilumab, the treatment will then be stopped for the next 6 months. The primary judgment criteria will be the SNOT 22 score, measured before treatment, after 6 months of treatment, and 6 months after stopping treatment, over a telephonic conversation.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of IMG-007 in adults with moderate-to-severe AD. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of IMG-007 in AD patients.
The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
This is a single arm, multicentric phase II study of milademetan plus fulvestrant in patients with ER+, HER2- ABC harboring GATA3 mutation(s) in the tumor and/or in ctDNA who have progressed on or after prior treatments including a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Frameshift or truncating GATA3 mutations will be identified by next generation sequencing (NGS) performed on either tissue or circulating DNA. Given the well-known safety profile of fulvestrant and the absence of significant toxicity expected from the association of fulvestrant and milademetan, a safety run-in is planned. During the course of the study, the Steering Committee will specifically review the occurrence of toxicities defined as DLTs in the safety run-in.
Occupational therapy is uniquely poised to help address chronic Eating Disorders (EDs) because of our holistic approach to client care. The complex and serious nature of EDs spans so many areas of life and wellbeing, it requires an intervention strategy that addresses the whole person across mental, physical, social, and spiritual realms. Unfortunately, specialized care for EDs can be difficult to find - especially for those not sick enough to be admitted to an inpatient facility but who are still struggling to thrive in daily life. For example, in New Mexico there is only one inpatient treatment center for EDs and no specialized outpatient services. This leaves many people suffering from EDs without options for care because they are not yet sick enough. There is a need for novel interventions in this setting that go beyond the traditional weight and food-focused medical interventions and seek to help empower individuals, work around challenges, and live their lives to the fullest. To meet this need in our community, the study team is developing a preliminary outpatient treatment program. The ROADE (Restorative Occupational Approaches for Disordered Eating) Program is an 8-week, structured, multimodal intervention seeking to reduce psychosocial symptoms and improve self-management skills for disordered eating. The intervention strategies range from: (1) wellness activities like mindfulness meditation to improve interoception, self-acceptance, and as a self-guided coping tool (2) adaptation of health management and self-care occupations to improve daily functioning while navigating ongoing disordered eating symptoms and (3) light exercise like Yoga and lymphatic drainage exercises to reconnect in a positive way with the body, improve digestion, promote relaxation, and reduce muscle tension. The current research investigates the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention while testing preliminary effects on eating disorder symptoms.
The objective is to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led therapeutic education intervention on the knowledge of hospitalized heart failure patients. The knowledge score on heart failure disease and medications will be compared between two groups one month after hospitalization. The intervention group will receive a therapeutic education intervention and usual hospital care and the control group will receive only usual hospital care.
In the treatment of heart failure (HF), SGLT-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) can significantly improve the clinical outcome and quality of life related to HF. The current data show that SGLT-2i is effective and safe in improving HF outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4, but there is little clinical evidence in patients with eGFR<20 ml/min/1.73 m2. Therefore, our research is designed to confirm that SGLT-2i can improve the outcome of HF in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and severe chronic renal insufficiency (eGFR<20ml/min/1.73m2).
