The main purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of study drug for the treatment of knee pain due to osteoarthritis (OA). This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol H0P-MC-CPMP (NCT05986292), which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.
Background:
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy is a form of immunotherapy which can be used to treat people with relapsed B-ALL. For those who achieve remission after CART alone, it may cure up to 50% of people who receive this therapy. However, for people who relapse after CART, it can be hard to achieve remission again. In patients where CART fails, stem cell transplant (HCT) can be used to prevent relapse and achieve cure. But HCT can cause serious side effects. Better testing is needed to distinguish people who can be cured with CART alone from people who may also need to have HCT.
Objective:
To see if the use of a series of blood and bone marrow tests at regular intervals can help monitor for B-ALL relapse after CART therapy.
Eligibility:
People aged 1 to 25 years with B-ALL who have had CART therapy within the past 42 days. They must never have had a blood stem cell transplant; they must also have no measurable blood cancer cells.
Design:
Participants will visit the clinic every 2 weeks starting 42 days after they receive CART therapy. Each visit will be about the same amount of time as a regular clinic visit. about 8 hours.
Participants will have blood drawn for testing on each visit.
Bone marrow biopsy/aspirate will be done during 4 of the visits at routine timepoints after CART. A needle will be inserted to draw a sample of tissue from inside the bone in the hip.
A small amount of blood and tissue will be tested with ClonoSEQ and to evaluate for normal B-cells side by side with the standard tests.
The combined testing may help determine whether participants are eligible for HCT and/or at risk of relapse after CART.
Participants will be in the study for 2 years.

This study will include two groups of patients: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2.
Cohort 1: will help researchers learn how a medicine called imlunestrant (LY3484356) affects a specific type of breast cancer. Some patients will take both imlunestrant and another treatment to suppress their ovarian function. Some will take it without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects in breast cancer cells to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. All patients in this group will be premenopausal women who have a type of early breast cancer called estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative. The treatment in this group will last for up to 29 days.
Cohort 2: will help researchers understand how imlunestrant affects the ovaries when it is taken without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. This group will also include premenopausal women with the same type of breast cancer. The treatment in this group will last for up to 6 months.
The researchers are doing this study to see if people with unexplained weight loss who have lung cancer screening are more likely to have or develop lung cancer than people without unexplained weight loss. The lung cancer screening will involve use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), a CT scan that gives off very low doses of radiation and can make detailed pictures of the lungs to help find tumors. The study researchers will also analyze participants' blood samples to determine if blood testing can be used to help to diagnose lung cancer.

This pilot trial assesses the effect of the combination of blinatumomab with dasatinib or imatinib and standard chemotherapy for treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) or ABL-class Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Blinatumomab is a bispecific antibody that binds to two different proteins-one on the surface of cancer cells and one on the surface of cells in the immune system. An antibody is a protein made by the immune system to help fight infections and other harmful processes/cells/molecules. Blinatumomab may bind to the cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system's fighting response) at the same time. Blinatumomab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating the body's own immune cells to destroy the tumor. Dasatinib and imatinib are in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Giving blinatumomab and dasatinib or imatinib in combination with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with Ph+ or Ph-like ABL-class B-ALL than dasatinib or imatinib with chemotherapy.
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of MRG003 versus cetuximab/methotrexate as second/third line of therapy in patients with RM-SCCHN who have previously failed PD-1 (L1) inhibitors and platinum-based therapy.

This study will evaluate the dosimetry, safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of CEA-PRIT 2.0 in participants with metastatic microsatellite-stable (MSS) mCRC who are intolerant to or have progressed after having received available standard-of-care (SOC) therapies.
This study will evaluate mechanisms of resistance to anti-breast cancer therapies in tumor and blood samples from participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) positive, hormone receptor (HR) positive or triple negative breast cancer.
The purpose of this clinical study is to learn about the effects and safety of berobenatide (PF-08653944). This may help people with overweight or obesity lose weight. People in this study may also have type 2 diabetes.
About 950 adults will be in this study. Berobenatide will be compared to a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. Berobenatide or placebo is given by a shot under the skin in the belly area. The objective of the study is to compare the experiences of people receiving berobenatide to those of the people who do not to assess if the study medicine is effective and safe.
People will take part in this study for about 20 months. During this time, they will have about 15 study visits at the site. They will also have 2 study visits over the phone.
The purpose of this study is to understand if PF-08046054 alone works well compared to standard-of-care docetaxel alone in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 expression greater than or equal to 1% and had cancer progression during or after treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted treatment regimen(s) for participants with known actionable genomic alterations (AGAs). Participants in this study must have cancer that has spread through their body or can't be removed with surgery or treated with definitive radiation.
Participants will randomly (like a flip of the coin) be assigned to either the PF-08046054 treatment group or the docetaxel treatment group. Participants in the PF-08046054 treatment group will receive an IV infusion (injected directly into the veins) twice during each 21-day cycle. Participants in the docetaxel treatment group will receive an IV infusion once during each 21-day cycle. Study participation may be up to 5 years if the participant's NSCLC is responding to treatment. The study team will see how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the clinic.
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and effects of the study drug (PF-08046876) in people diagnosed with advanced cancer of the bladder, lung, head and neck, esophagus, or pancreas. PF-08046876 is an investigational anticancer therapy called an 'antibody drug conjugate' or 'ADC'. ADCs are anticancer drugs designed to stick to cancer cells and kill them.
The study drug will be given to participants through a needle in a vein (intravenous infusion). This study includes multiple parts. In the first part of the study, there will be different groups of people receiving different doses of the study drug. The study may also test different schedules.
Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors · Bladder Cancer · Urothelial Carcinoma · Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study will recruit patients with the following cancer indications: ovarian cancer, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, synovial sarcoma and head and neck cancer, with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours. Currently, these patients have a poor prognosis and a relatively short overall survival. There is a lack of meaningful, effective therapies available that improve the outcome for these patients. The treatment being investigated in this study is ZIMA4-1, an allogeneic cell therapy product. This is the first time ZI-MA4-1 will be administered to humans. The study is planned to consist of two parts (A and B). Part A includes up to four dose escalation cohorts and aims to identify the maximum tolerated dose of ZI-MA4-1 and give insight into the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Part B consists of an expansion cohort and is designed to further evaluate the RP2D identified in Part A across one or more indications. The study procedures and eligibility criteria will be the same for participants in Parts A and B, except for the dose level of ZI-MA4-1.
Ovarian Cancer · Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) · Synovial Sarcomas · Head and Neck Cancer
This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.

This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint High 2 Risk (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint High 2 Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

Necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare, severe, fast-progressing bacterial infection within the soft tissue compartment. The NSTI mortality rate remain high and largely unaltered in the last decades. The standard of care in NSTI is multidisciplinary and includes surgery, intensive care, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment is an adjunctive treatment potentially improving survival, but is not standard of care in many centres, presumably as no evidence of its benefit from randomized clinical trial exists.
The primary objective of this trial, HOT-NSTI, is to investigate the effect of adjunctive HBO2 treatment on 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with NSTI.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical study. 128 patients with relapsed or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had not been systematically treated are going to be enrolled and randomly assigned to 3 groups. Group A: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). Group B: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks)+ apatinib mesylate tablet (500 mg, orally, once daily, every 3 weeks). Group C: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks) + bevacizumab (7.5mg/kg, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). The dosages of therapeutic drugs are allowed to be adjusted appropriately according to the toxic reaction of the patients. Patients in three groups continued to take medication until disease progression/death/toxicity was intolerable/the patient or investigator decided to discontinue the medication.
The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR, complete response (CR)+ partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD, \> 6 months)), overall survival (OS), adverse events (AE), and potential predictive biomarker parameters related to treatment response (VEGF-A expression level) in peripheral blood.
The ALL SCTped 2012 FORUM is a multinational, multi-centre, controlled, prospective phase III study for the therapy and therapy optimisation for children and adolescents with ALL in complete morphological remission (CR, less than 5% bone marrow blasts, no blasts in cerebrospinal fluid, no other extramedullary leukemia), who have an indication for HSCT with a myeloablative conditioning regimen.
The stratification of patients in first and following remissions according to the individual transplantation modalities rests upon an indication for allogeneic HSCT and the availability of a suitable donor within the individual transplantation groups.
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating people who have excess body weight and type 2 diabetes. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111 (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (treatment that has no active medicine in it). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.
This open-label extension study will provide post-trial access to pelacarsen (TQJ230) to participants who have successfully completed the double-blind parent study (CTQJ230A12301).
This clinical study evaluates the performance of the MultifiltratePro in pediatric mode for Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration (CVVHD) in children. Its primary aim is to assess the efficacy of the MultifiltratePro in paediatric mode, specifically in achieving at least 80% of the prescribed effluent dose within 72 hours. Additionally, the study focuses on the safety of this mode in a paediatric setting, closely monitoring for clinical adverse events, hemodynamic instability, and electrolyte imbalances. Paediatric patients with body weights between 8kg and 40kg will be treated with the MultifiltratePro for a period of up to 10 days, with the treatment duration and approach being tailored to the severity of each patient's condition.
Background:
Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes. Researchers want to test a method of treating blood cancers by altering a person s T cells (a type of immune cell) to target neoepitopes.
Objective:
To test the use of neoepitope-specific T cells in people with blood cancers
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 75 years with any of 9 blood cancers.
Design:
Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of soft tissue will be removed from inside a pelvic bone. This is needed to confirm their diagnosis and the TP53 and RAS mutations in their cancer cells. They will also have a skin biopsy to look for these mutations in other tissue.
Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein.
The T cells will be grown to become neoepitope-specific T cells.
Participants receive drugs for 3 days to prepare their body for the treatment. The modified T cells will be given through a tube inserted into a vein. Participants will need to remain in the clinic at least 7 days after treatment.
Participants will have 8 follow-up visits in the first year after treatment. They will have 6 more visits over the next 4 years. Long-term follow-up will go on for 10 more years.
This study, the first clinical trial of AVZO-1418, aims to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, maximum tolerated dose, and antitumor activity of AVZO-1418 when administered intravenously as a monotherapy and potentially in combination therapy to patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine how quickly patients can be divided into groups based on biomarkers in their tumors. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in the blood, other body fluids, or in tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process or a sign of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. The two biomarkers that this trial is studying are "tumor mutational burden" and "tumor inflammation signature." Another purpose of this trial is to help doctors learn if cabozantinib and nivolumab shrink or stabilize the cancer, and whether patients respond differently to the combination depending on the status of the biomarkers.

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical results and complications of self-locking biceps tenodesis and double 360 lasso loop biceps tenodesis for the treatment of long chief of biceps or superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) tendon pathology during shoulder arthroscopy in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Currently, there is no consensus on the use of tenodesis versus tenotomy to treat pathology of the long head of the biceps during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Numerous studies have examined the clinical results of long biceps tenotomy versus long biceps tenodesis, and there is no evidence to date of superiority of either technique. At Clinique Générale, we use a new, innovative technique called autobloc tenodesis to treat pathologies of the long head of the biceps. There are no comparative studies between autobloc tenodesis of the biceps and biceps tenodesis. Given its potential advantages, self-locking biceps tenodesis could emerge as the new technique of choice for treating biceps longus tendon pathology, potentially reducing differences in outcomes such as Popeye deformity. The information provided by this study could potentially guide future clinical practice, helping surgeons to choose the most appropriate treatment for their patients suffering from long biceps tendon pathology.
In this multi-center randomized clinical trial, head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors with clinically significant body image distress (BID) (N=180) will be randomized to BRIGHT (a brief video tele-cognitive behavioral therapy intervention) or Attention Control (AC, a manualized tele-supportive care intervention that controls for professional attention, dose, delivery method, and common factors). HNC survivors will complete IMAGE-HN (a validated patient-reported outcome measure \[PROM\] of HNC-related body image distress \[BID\]; primary endpoint), measures of psychological and social well-being and quality of life (QOL), and measures of theory-derived mechanisms of change underlying BRIGHT (mediators).

This clinical trial is being done to better understand how daily treatment with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), or the combination of CBD plus THC affects knee osteoarthritis pain and other related symptoms.
Consented participants will have a screening period and visit (up to 30 days to treatment start). If participants pass the screening phase, they will be randomly assigned to take one of the investigational study drugs. For this study, participants will not know when or if they are taking CBD, THC, THC plus CBD, and when or if taking placebo.
Clinical pain will be assessed at multiple times throughout the study, and eligibility will be re-assessed at two weeks into the treatment period. It is possible that subjects will not be able to participate in the study after 14 days of of treatment. The treatment period will take approximately 16 weeks and then a follow-up period for approximately 2 weeks. In addition to treatment, participants will have clinical assessments, blood draws, questionnaires, daily pain diaries, sensory testing, as well as have functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI).
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab and chemotherapy may help stabilize lung cancer.

The aim of this study is to assess whether citicoline (TRAUSAN), a neuroprotective agent involved in membrane phospholipid synthesis and neurotransmission, can prevent or attenuate cognitive decline in older adults who develop perioperative delirium during hospitalization for proximal hip fracture. Delirium is a frequent and severe complication in this population and is associated with cognitive and functional deterioration, institutionalization, and mortality.
Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive citicoline 1000 mg/day for 6 months after discharge, or usual care. Cognitive and functional status will be evaluated at discharge and subsequently at 3 and 6 months follow-up visits.
Perioperative Delirium · Hip Fracture · Post-Operative Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
The purpose of this research, which has been determined as non-significant risk by the central IRB overseeing the study, is to obtain information to help further develop a machine (a medical device) to measure the pressure around the brain from the outside (this pressure is called intracranial pressure or ICP). Monitoring and managing ICP is an important part of care for patients with conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, the current way of measuring ICP requires surgery to drill a hole into the skull, and therefore can introduce additional risks such as infections and pain.
Recent research has shown it may be possible to measure ICP without needing surgery. This technology is in development, but large amounts of data is required to build these new devices.
Through collecting a large database of information from patients who have both the routine surgical device and the research device applied to their head, the research team will work to develop and test an effective and potentially safer way of monitoring patient ICP.
Prostate biopsy is the definitive examination to establish the diagnosis of prostate cancer, but up to 40% of these biopsies overestimate or underestimate the severity of the disease. A novel biopsy needle system captures substantially more tissue than standard of care needles, but it is important to assess the retrieval of tissue for pathologic analyses. This study will compare quality and quantity of tissue retrieved by both systems. Further, tissue will be analyzed using computational pathology algorithms for atypical small acinar proliferation and Gleason scores in terms of tissue area, tissue length, and tissue tortuosity.
The primary goal of neurocritical care is to prevent secondary brain injury, which worsens neurological outcomes. Because clinical monitoring is often insufficient due to the patient's condition and medical treatments, multimodal monitoring using biophysical, electrophysiological, and imaging data is essential. In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the most frequent and severe complication is delayed cerebral ischemia, often linked to arterial vasospasm and potentially leading to infarction. Early diagnosis combines transcranial Doppler (TCD), sensitive to vasospasm, with perfusion CT (CTP), which measures cerebral perfusion; this approach guides therapy and improves prognosis. Ultrasound, especially when enhanced with contrast agents (CEUS), allows non-invasive, bedside, repeated visualization of cerebral blood flow and perfusion-even through the skull. Agents like SonoVue® help quantify perfusion using time-intensity curves. The study aims to assess whether cerebral perfusion measurements from the SYLVER device are equivalent to those from CTP in ICU or CCU patients.
This study is to provide access for patients who are receiving treatment with dabrafenib and/or trametinib in a Novartis-sponsored Oncology Global Development, Global Medical Affairs or a former GSK-sponsored study who have fulfilled the requirements for the primary objective, and who are judged by the investigator as benefiting from continued treatment in the parent study as judged by the Investigator at the completion of the parent study.

There are only 4 site visits by patients with minimal assessments over a 2-month period, and patients completing this study will have the ability to continue receiving SD-101-6.0 at home in an open-label extension study. The drug product and placebo require no special preparation or storage conditions (room temperature).
Breast cancer is not only the leading cause of cancer in women, but also the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer is the most prevalent breast cancer subtype. Endocrine therapy is the mainstay of treatment; however, due to the varied nature of the disease, development of resistance to this therapeutic approach is very common in the metastatic setting.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the effectiveness of elacestrant can be enhanced by combining it with a targeted agent such as a CDK4/6 inhibitor to treat patients with ER+/HER2- or metastatic breast cancer with prior exposure to a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder and can progress rapidly to severe adverse outcomes affecting both the mother and the fetus. Endothelial and microcirculatory dysfunction mediate systemic preeclampsia-related organ dysfunctions. Changes in endothelial and vascular function in preeclampsia have been demonstrated through reduced flow-mediated vasodilation as a result of reduced availability of nitric oxide, which potentially persists up to several years postpartum. Hyperspectral imaging is a new innovative technology that allows to assess the peripheral microcirculation and perfusion non-invasively and contactless, but has never been evaluated in the context of preeclampsia before.
This EPICS project (Endothelial dysfunction for Prognosis In patients with preeClampSia) is a prospective observational study and aims to investigate hyperspectral imaging as a new potential diagnostic and prognostic marker in preeclampsia.

This multicenter, single-arm exploratory IIT evaluates epidural spinal cord electrical stimulation (ESCES) in 20 adults with C1-C5 SCI and respiratory failure. Participants receive ESCES plus standard care; electrodes are implanted at C3-C5 with daily individualized stimulation. Primary outcomes: Edi peak, change of Edi peak and frequency. Secondary: tidal volume, maximal inspiratory pressure, NVE, NME, diaphragm ultrasound, cough strength, 90-day ventilator-free days, ICU stay, and survival. This is the first systematic ESCES study for SCI-related respiratory failure, aiming to provide preliminary safety/efficacy data for future RCTs.
The goal of this phase 3 clinical trial is to determine the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of using lower doses of Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPI) to treat patients with prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized). The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. if overall survival for reduced dose ARPI is not worse than standard dose ARPI when treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and
2. that fatigue (extreme exhaustion) and not stopping ARPI permanently (due to adverse effects) are better than average with the reduced dose.
Participants will:
* Be randomised to take full dose (100%) of ARPI or half dose (50%) of ARPI.
* Receive standard of care ADT.
* Be on treatment for approximately 3 years according to standard of care.
* Have clinic assessments and visits in clinic or remotely, as per their treating hospital's standard routine local practice in line with standard of care. Additional visits are not expected.
* Complete quality of life questionnaires at week 0 (pre-treatment) and weeks 4, 16, 32, 48 and 64.
* Keep a diary of their symptoms.
Translational research samples will be collected as follows:
* Blood samples at week 0 (pre-treatment) and weeks 24, 32, 48 and at disease progression.
* Urine samples at week 0 (pre-treatment) and week 24 and at disease progression.
* FFPE Tumour: Routinely collected diagnostic blocks. The duration of follow-up is approximately 3 years after the last patient is recruited (minimum follow-up is 3 years; maximum follow-up is approximately 6 years for the the first patient recruited) and the trial is expected to complete August 2032 (Last Patient Last Visit).
Acute kidney injury is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and is associated with prolonged intensive care unit stay, increased morbidity, and mortality. Fluid overload and venous congestion are increasingly recognized as important contributors to postoperative organ dysfunction. The VExUS score is a bedside ultrasound tool that assesses systemic venous congestion through evaluation of the inferior vena cava and Doppler flow patterns in the hepatic, portal, and intrarenal veins. Although previous studies have suggested an association between VExUS-assessed venous congestion, AKI, and adverse outcomes, evidence regarding its relationship with advanced hemodynamic parameters remains limited. This prospective observational study will enroll adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. All patients will undergo postoperative VExUS assessment and will be followed for the development of AKI and other postoperative complications. A predefined subgroup of patients undergoing clinically indicated PiCCO monitoring will additionally be evaluated to determine the association between VExUS score and PiCCO-derived hemodynamic parameters. The findings may support the use of VExUS as a noninvasive bedside tool for assessing venous congestion and identifying patients at increased risk of postoperative organ dysfunction after cardiac surgery.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in China. Even though advances in the field of breast cancer therapeutics, chemotherapy remains the mainstay therapeutic modality. The cytotoxic therapies are generally associated with some immediate or otherwise delayed side effects, such as adverse effects on gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal and hematological systems. The effect of chemotherapy on endocrine system, however, is comparatively less envisaged. Several epidemiological studies show a positive association between plasma thyroid hormones levels and breast cancer risk. Thyroid dysfunction is emerging as a variably common endocrine toxicity of several anticancer drugs. Due to the scarcity of data on the functioning of thyroid gland during chemotherapy in a large scale group, the present study was aimed to investigate the incidence of thyroid abnormity in Chinese women with newly diagnosed breast cancer, and also the effects of chemotherapy on thyroid gland functions or structure in these breast cancer patients undergoing at least four cycles of chemotherapy.
Background:
Injury or diseases of the heart and lung can sometimes cause scar tissue (fibrosis) to build up in those organs. Current imaging scans can see this scar tissue once it has formed, but researchers want to find a way to detect the fibrosis in its earliest stages, while there might still be time to prevent serious damage. A new tracer (a radioactive substance injected during imaging scans) may be able to help.
Objective:
To test a new tracer (18F-FAPI-74) during imaging scans in people with heart or lung disease.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years and older with lung or heart disease that may cause scarring in those organs.
Design:
Participants will have 6 clinic visits over 2 years.
Participants will be screened: They will have blood tests and tests of their heart and lung function. Those with heart disease will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the heart.
The study tracer will be used with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans. The study tracer will be injected into a vein in the arm. Participants will lie on a padded bed that slides through a donut-shaped machine.
Participants will have scans with the study tracer 2 times, 8 to 12 months apart. They will also have standard CT scans and blood tests during these visits. They will also have blood tests at 3 and 6 months between these visits.
Participants will have a follow-up visit after 18 to 24 months. The study scans, MRI and standard CT scans, and lung function tests may be repeated....
FRUQUENT is an observational study in Germany. The goal of the study is to evaluate how well Fruquintinib works to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that have previously been treated with available standard therapies.
To this end, it will be analyzed how well patients respond to the therapy in the clinical routine. Further points of interest to the study are survival data, safety data, the use of medical care facilities, and the quality of life of patients treated with Fruquintinib.
Participants will be treated as decided by the treating physician and according to their routine practice.
FRUQUENT is accompanied by a translational research project combining real-world clinical data with foundational research to stratify patient collectives in regards to the therapeutic benefit of fruquintinib.

* Assess abilities of above technologies and OCT-derived parameters on predicting glaucoma detection, conversion, and progression.
GOLD-STANDARD is a pragmatic, open-label pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the feasibility, safety, and implementation of an early goal-directed Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) care strategy compared with usual care in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease who are at increased cardiovascular risk. Participants will be followed for 12 months to assess treatment uptake, adherence, retention, and safety outcomes, and to inform the design of a future definitive trial.
Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder that can quickly lead to serious, potentially life-threatening outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. Typical features of preeclampsia are by endothelial and microvascular dysfunctionsNotably, such impairments in endothelial function may precede preeclampsia diagnosis and canpersist for years postpartum. In clinical practice, however, no predictive methods have yet been established that specifically reflect endothelial dysfunction in the context of preeclampsia.
Hyperspectral imaging represents a new and non-invasive imaging modality that allows contact-free visualization of peripheral microcirculatory dynamics and tissue perfusion. Despite its growing use in other medical fields, this technology has not yet been systematically studied to determine its predictive potential in preeclampsia.
The HIPPA project (Systematic Evaluation of Hyperspectral Analysis for Prediction of Preeclampsia) is a prospective observational study to evaluate the applicability of hyperspectral imaging as a new tool for prediction of preeclampsia.
Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (IOHI) is a common occurrence during cardiac surgery and is associated with organ hypoperfusion. However, the specific impact of IOHI on composite adverse outcomes remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the association between intraoperative hemodynamic instability (defined as MAP \< 65 mmHg or vasopressor requirement) and major postoperative complications (Delirium, Acute Kidney Injury, Stroke, or Mortality) in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Ventilator associated pneumonia is the most common manifestation of hospital acquired infections in ICU. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients receiving mechanical ventilation is as high as 20% -71%, which can lead to increased systemic antibiotic use, prolonged mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay, and increased treatment costs. In addition, ventilator-associated pneumonia is also the main cause of hospital infection related deaths in critically ill patients.
However, there is a certain buffer time for patients to develop ventilator-associated pneumonia after receiving endotracheal intubation. Previous studies have found that the peak incidence occurs after 7 days of mechanical ventilation, so there is an opportunity for early treatment to prevent infection. Despite the implementation of numerous preventive measures for ventilator-associated pneumonia over the decades, such as reducing sedation and withdrawal protocols, patient positioning, oral care, prophylactic probiotics, prophylactic antibiotics, and the use of silver plated endotracheal tubes. Among them, the research on the preventive use of antibiotics has a history of over 30 years and is a topic of substantial debate. Prophylactic use of antibiotics includes systemic application and local nebulization inhalation, and inhaled antibiotics may be an effective measure for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia. Potential extensively drug-resistant Gram negative (XDR-GN) bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii, are common pathogens causing VAP in ICU. The mortality rate of VAP caused by XDR-GN pathogen may be higher than 70%. With the increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, nebulized or inhaled aminoglycoside antibiotics are often used as empirical or definitive treatment for VAP in ICU patients. The previous group of antibiotics, polymyxin, has returned to the view of medical staff. Sodium polymyxin E methanesulfonate has been used as a salvage therapy for XDR-GN bacteria causing pneumonia, demonstrating its activity against XDR-GN causing VAP in critically ill patients. The guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) on hospital acquired pneumonia also indicate that patients with Gram negative pneumonia caused by drug-resistant bacteria are sensitive to polymyxins. In this randomized controlled study, we aim to investigate the effect of prophylactic use of polymyxin E nebulized inhalation on the incidence of VAP.
This study aims to evaluate whether femtosecond laser imaging combined with FastLung AI model can provide intraoperative diagnostic performance that is non-inferior to standard frozen section diagnosis for pulmonary nodules or suspected pulmonary tumor lesions. Patients scheduled for lung surgery and requiring intraoperative pathological assessment will be prospectively enrolled. After tumor excision, the fresh tumor specimen will be bisected through the central plane. One half will be used for standard frozen section diagnosis, and the mirrored counterpart will be used for femtosecond laser imaging. Both diagnostic results will be compared with the final paraffin-embedded pathological diagnosis as the reference standard. The results of femtosecond laser imaging will not guide intraoperative clinical decision-making.

Researchers want to see if a new procedure can help a person s cells kill germs for a short time. It uses messenger RNA (mRNA) to deliver correct instructions for the gene mutation to the cells.
Objective:
To test a procedure in which mRNA is added to a person s blood cells.
Eligibility:
Males aged 18-75 with CGD with a mutation in the gene that makes the protein gp91phox.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Medical history
Physical exam
Blood and urine tests
Swab to test for strep throat
Some screening tests will be repeated during the study.
Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center hospital for at least 7 days. They will have apheresis. For this, a medicine is injected under their skin to prepare their white blood cells for collection. An IV line is placed into an arm vein. Blood goes through the IV line into a machine that divides whole blood into red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells. The white blood cells are removed, and the rest of the blood is returned to the participant through an IV line in their other arm. The next day, they will get their mRNA-corrected cells via IV. They will be monitored for 3 more days.
After discharge, participants will keep a symptom diary. They will be contacted weekly for one month, and then once a month. They will have a follow-up visit 3 months after the infusion....
The aim of this trial is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of a 12-month course of pravastatin as an antifibrotic agent for managing dysphagia (swallowing problems) in patients previously treated with radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). The purpose is to assess whether pravastatin, a medication approved in Australia for cholesterol management, can improve swallowing in people with long-term radiation-associated dysphagia following HNC treatment.
The trial will recruit 48 patients, with an anticipated accrual period of approximately 6 months. Eligible patients will be identified from the Principal Investigator's current study, ERADICATE, or through referral by a radiation oncologist or speech pathologist diagnosing radiation-induced dysphagia.
Participants will receive 40 mg of pravastatin daily for up to 12 months, with swallowing assessments conducted before, during, and after treatment.

This is a pragmatic, two-group, cluster randomized trial designed to compare strategies for the Anti Tachycardia Pacing (ATP)-setting in the ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) zone when implanting a new implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with heart disease in hospitals in Denmark.
The strategies are: "Burst" or "Ramp" after 1. ATP (which is always burst) in VT zone. VT zone is defined between 180-249 (up to 269 in special cases) heartbeats per minute.
The ICD will give either:
Burst: The ICD is programmed to give ATP with 4 bursts. Or Ramp: The ICD is programmed to give ATP with 1 burst and 3 ramps.
The participating hospitals will be assigned to one of two intervention strategies for periods of 4-months. The given intervention will follow the patient/ICD throughout the life time of the ICD, but with the possibility to reprogram at any time (intention to treat).
It is calculated that the study needs a total of 398 events (second to fourth ATP), which is estimated to require 3980 implanted ICDs. The participants will be followed until the end of the ICD life, which is estimated to be around 10 years.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children involves autoimmune destruction of pancreatic ß- cells, leading to insulin deficiency. Verapamil is an L-type calcium channel blocker that has been used for decades to treat hypertension and certain cardiac conditions. Recent research has revealed its potential as a ß- cell-protective agent. Hence this study will evaluate the effect of once-daily oral verapamil on pancreatic ß- cell reserve , glycemic metrics and daily insulin requirements in children and adolescents with T1D.
