Filter by:The aim of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of integrated boost to the dominant intraprostatic nodule based on Ga-68 Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET/MR in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in localized prostate carcinoma in patients for whom the standard treatment is the irradiation of the entire prostate gland with or without seminal vesicles accompanied or not by hormonal therapy.
The aim of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of SBRT without ADT in oligometastatic prostate cancer in patients for whom the standard treatment is ADT, and to further explore how long only radiotherapy for oligometastases can prolong biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS). In this study, men with oligometastatic prostate cancer lesions will be randomized (1:1) to ADT versus SBRT. Within 6 weeks of the oligometastases diagnosis, ADT or SBRT (30-50Gy with 3-5 fractions) will be administered.
The Primary objective is to explore ambulance service attendance at incidents involving alcohol and/or substance use over the period of the pandemic lockdown, and the following months. This will be to determine prevalence and explore factors such as patient gender, age, ethnicity or location. Analysis will examine the calls over the course of the year prior to the lockdown, and then compare this to the period of lockdown and following months.
The current situation of Sars-Cov-2 pandemic generates fears in the general population. Among patients receiving long-term immunomodulatory drugs, especially in the context of auto-immune diseases, there may be legitimates interrogations about the appropriateness of continuing treatment, without modification, in the current context. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is concerns by these fears (the patient and their parents). Patients are treated by several classes of immunomodulatory drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. The present study will characterize this issue by defining the proportion of patients whose usual treatment of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis has been modified in relation to the actual sanitary crisis, and also to return to school.
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare chronic inflammatory arteritis, which lacks an effective well-accepted intervention strategy. We classify TAK patients into 3 levels, including mild, moderate, and severe. And the biological agents tocilizumab and adalimumab are randomly prescribed in severe patients, to find out the relatively better treatment strategy, facilitating better intervention strategy in severe TAK patients.
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare chronic inflammatory arteritis, which lacks an effective well-accepted intervention strategy. Here we tried to classify TAK patients in 3 levels, including mild, moderate, and severe, and prescribe methotrexate and tofacitinib randomly in mild and moderate patients, to observe the relatively better treatment strategy, facilitating better intervention strategy in TAK patients.
Prior research has identified profound sleep disruption in individuals with PSP. Not only were these individuals sleeping relatively short periods at night, they were also not recuperating lost sleep during the day. Research also showed the relative preservation of a series of nuclei key in regulating wake and arousal. Investigators believe that therapeutically targeting wake promoting centers with a specific medication will improve sleep quality and overall well-being in PSP. To study this, investigators will be doing a double blind, within subject, remote clinical trial with 3 conditions: suvorexant- which targets a wake promoting system, zolpidem- a standard hypnotic that engages sleep promoting systems, versus placebo. Each condition will last 1 week and will be separated by a 1 week washout period on no sleep medications. Investigators will measure sleep patterns and daytime symptoms to determine if suvorexant, zolpidem, or both medications are safe and effective for treating sleep disturbances and improving overall well-being in PSP.
This randomized and placebo controlled study investigates the efficacy of injections with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue in CD patients with complex perianal fistulas refractory to standard surgical and/or medical treatment. 140 CD patients will be included and randomized to either treatment with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue or placebo (saline). Primary outcome measures are clinical healing 6 months after treatment evaluated by clinical examination and pelvic MRI.
This study on biologics (Vedolizumab/anti-TNF) in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in Germany extends the prospective documentation of efficacy in induction and maintenance therapy of anti-TNF to the use of Vedolizumab with a particular interest in the construction of a multifactorial model to predict long-term responses and favorable disease outcome or to predict severe side effects caused by therapy with biologics. Little data are available on the efficacy and safety of biologics in Germany in a real world situation. While the increasing use of anti-TNF-alpha antibodies in IBD-patients the new therapy with Vedolizumab opens up new opportunities in IBD-therapy, it may also pose new options and problems in terms of efficacy and predictors of response and potential side effects.
A randomized split-body pilot study was planned to confirm efficacy of intralesiona triamcinolone injection in patients with vitiligo
