Filter by:This is a multicenter observational study consisting of retrospective and prospective phases. The retrospective phase will entail secondary data collection from electronic or paper medical records of patients who underwent surgery for CTS to assess their probability of having ATTR PN.
Given the expansion of indications for genetic testing and our understanding of conditions for which the results change medical management, it is imperative to consider novel ways to deliver care beyond the traditional genetic counseling visit, which are both amenable to large-scale implementation and sustainable. The investigators propose an entirely new approach for the implementation of genomic medicine, supported by the leadership of Penn Medicine, investigating the use of non-geneticist clinician and patient nudges in the delivery of genomic medicine through a pragmatic randomized clinical trial, addressing NHGRI priorities. Our application is highly conceptually and technically innovative, building upon expertise and infrastructure already in place. Innovative qualities of our proposal include: 1) Cutting edge EHR infrastructure already built to support genomic medicine (e.g., partnering with multiple commercial genetic testing laboratories for direct test ordering and results reporting in the EHR); 2) Automated EHR-based direct ordering or referring by specialist clinicians (i.e., use of replicable modules that enable specialist clinicians to order genetic testing through Epic Smartsets, including all needed components, such as populated gene lists, smartphrases, genetic testing, informational websites and acknowledgement e-forms for patient signature); 3) EHR algorithms for accurate patient identification (i.e., electronic phenotype algorithms to identify eligible patients, none of which currently have phenotype algorithms present in PheKB; 4) Behavioral economics-informed implementation science methods: This trial will be the first to evaluate implementation strategies informed by behavioral economics, directed at clinicians and/or patients, for increasing the use of genetic testing; further it will be the first study in this area to test two forms of defaults as a potential local adaptation to facilitate implementation (ordering vs. referring); and 5) Dissemination: In addition to standard dissemination modalities,PheKB95, GitHub and Epic Community Library, the investigators propose to disseminate via AnVIL (NHGRI's Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-Space). Our results will represent an entirely new paradigm for the provision of genomic medicine for patients in whom the results of genetic testing change medical management.
A multicenter observational retrosPective Registry of patIents with transthyretin aMyloid polynEuropathy (hATTR-PN) and chRonic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) in the population of the Russian Federation (PRIMER) There are no comprehensive epidemiological data on patients with hereditary ATTR-PN (hATTR-PN) and CIAP in the Russian Federation. Therefore, there is a need to conduct a large-scale observational study in the Russian population to obtain information on clinical, electrophysiological and demographic characteristics of patients with hATTR-PN and CIAP. Obtaining the study data will help to identify the patients with axonal polyneuropathy, who deserve TTR gene sequencing, and therefore to allow early treatment and potentially modify disease progression in patients.
This is a single-center observational study evaluating the potential value of NfL as a biomarker for diagnosis, detection of disease onset, monitoring of disease progression, and treatment response in asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy of riliprubart compared to IVIg in adult participants with CIDP who are receiving maintenance treatment with IVIg. The study duration will be for a maximum of 109 weeks including screening, treatment phases, and follow-up.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy of riliprubart compared to placebo in adult participants with CIDP whose disease is refractory to standard of care. The study duration will be for a maximum of 109 weeks including screening, treatment phases, and follow-up.
The clinical trial is planned as a prospective, multicentre, blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled, national clinical trial in Germany. The clinical trial is designed for testing the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of Aconite pain oil as compared to placebo in oncological patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy with taxanes and/or platinum derivatives.
ActiCIDP is a monocentric academic study. Patients with Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis may be included on a voluntary basis. The investigators plan to include a group of approximately 40 patients with CIDP. The investigators have planned to assess patient every three months for a year. After each visit, participants will wear Actimyo for one month daily.
The planned study is a Randomized Controlled Monocentric Trial, which will provide evidence on whether early angiography in PTA readiness ("immediate treatment," within 48h) has advantages over the "standard of care", i.e., an elective procedure ("elective PTA") in terms of clinical endpoints such as wound healing and infection according to WiFI classification, amputation rate, "major adverse limb events" (MALE=amputation, reintervention of the vessel, death), but also systemic complications such as "major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events" (MACE=myocardial infarction, stroke, death, restenosis, severe cardiac and cerebrovascular complications). Furthermore, the impact of PTA on the local wound microbiome remains unclear. Altered microbiome composition in ulcers can lead to severe local and systemic infections and complications, including major amputations. Nevertheless, the specific significance of the wound microbiome composition in chronic ischemic ulcers in type 2 diabetes and the impact of PTA on the wound microbiome in type 2 diabetes is unclear. The exact timing for treating pAVD by revascularization in DFS after initial diagnosis is unknown and has yet to be fully understood.
Over the last years a rising medical need for treatment of chronic pain was identified. Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with pain disorders due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic pain due to diabetic polyneuropathy.
