## Delta GREENS Food is Medicine Intervention - **NCT ID**: NCT06358859 - **Study ID**: STUDY00004203 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04 - **Completion Date**: 2026-04 - **Lead Sponsor**: Tufts University ### Study Description Though the Mississippi Delta has a rich agricultural history and some of the nation's most fertile soil, residents have experienced the legacy of slavery and economic exploitation through food insecurity and poverty for generations. This project focuses on Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower, contiguous counties in the Delta that are designated as health disparity populations. Over 65% of the 100,000 residents are Black/African American and \~30% live at or below the poverty level. Obesity rates are high and the rate of diabetes is almost double the national average. Tufts University received a grant from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities to develop, test, and evaluate a Food is Medicine program in Mississippi. The Delta Growing a Resilient, Enriching, Equitable, Nourishing food System (GREENS) Food is Medicine (FIM) Project, is a collaborative project in Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower counties in Mississippi. The intervention involves regularly distributed fruit and vegetable produce boxes as well as nutrition education materials to the intervention group. The control group will receive produce boxes later, after they complete study activities. The project's primary goal is to improve health outcomes by creating a FIM intervention. The Delta GREENS FIM Project aims to become a model for promoting nutrition security and management of chronic conditions in varied communities nationwide. ### Conditions - Cardiometabolic Risk Factors - Diabetes - High Blood Pressure - Obesity - Nutrition Security ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Food is Medicine ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) **Secondary Outcomes** - Change in cardiometabolic risk factor composite score - Change in BMI - Change in LDL cholesterol - Change in non-HDL cholesterol - Change in blood pressure - Change in nutrition security, assessed via a survey - Change in dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, assessed via a survey - Change in health care utilization, assessed via review of Electronic Health Records (EHR) - Change in food insecurity, assessed via a survey ### Location - **Facility**: Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111, United States @@

## Identification of Risk Factors for Brain Recurrence in Patients With HER2-positive Localised Breast Cancer - **NCT ID**: NCT06358625 - **Study ID**: 2023-4-1-001 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-30 - **Completion Date**: 2031-04-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Center Eugene Marquis ### Study Description HER2 gene amplification, detected in 20% to 30% of breast cancers, was a poor prognostic factor before the advent of anti-HER2 therapies. In the early 2000s, trastuzumab revolutionised the management of patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer in the metastatic and localised stages of the disease.At the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease, 7-11% of patients have brain metastases, with (70% of cases) or without symptoms (30% of cases). In the absence of brain metastases, 30% to 50% of patients will develop brain metastases within the first two years of treatment, depending on whether the disease is hormone receptor positive (HR+) or negative (HR-).The presence of brain metastases is the most important prognostic factor. The neurological symptoms caused by the presence of these lesions, but also by the local treatments offered, affect patients' quality of life, although improvements in surgical and radiotherapy techniques have significantly reduced the need for particularly toxic whole brain radiotherapy.International guidelines do not recommend systematic brain MRI in the absence of neurological symptoms, either in the adjuvant or metastatic stages of this disease. However, there may be a role for more systematic and earlier screening for cerebral recurrence, as single cerebral recurrences without extracranial involvement are common and the new anti-HER2 agents (i.e. tucatinib, an anti-HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and T-Dxd) have shown significant objective response rates in cerebral metastases.To date, no clinical or histological prognostic factor (proliferation index, HR expression, etc.) has been used to identify a population of patients at high risk of cerebral relapse, allowing monitoring and treatment to be personalised.New tools for these indications would significantly modify our clinical practice, allowing the identification of a subpopulation at high risk of cerebral recurrence, suitable for increased monitoring and therapeutic adjustment. ### Conditions - HER2-positive Breast Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Pre-treatment biopsy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Transcriptomic profile change of HER2+ primary breast tumours before any treatment **Secondary Outcomes** - Transcriptomic profile change on circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Intratumoral INT230-6 Followed by Neoadjuvant Immuno-chemotherapy in Patients With Early TNBC. INVINCIBLE-4-SAKK - **NCT ID**: NCT06358573 - **Study ID**: SAKK 66/22 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-06-30 - **Completion Date**: 2029-12 - **Lead Sponsor**: Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research ### Study Description About 10-20% of all individuals with breast cancer have a so-called triple-negative tumor (TNBC). This type of breast cancer has a particularly unfavorable course and a higher mortality rate compared to other forms of breast cancer. Research studies show that it is important for individuals with TNBC to achieve a so-called pathologic complete response (pCR) to treatment. In the phase II study SAKK 66/22, it is being investigated whether the administration of the drug INT230-6 before surgery for breast cancer can increase the rate of pCR in the tumor and affected lymph nodes. The tolerability of INT230-6 as well as other factors such as response to treatment and the possibility of breast-conserving surgery are also being examined. ### Conditions - Triple-negative Breast Cancer - TNBC - Triple-Negative Breast Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - INT230-6 - neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Pathological complete response (pCR) in the primary tumor (ypT0/Tis) and affected lymph nodes (ypN0). **Secondary Outcomes** - pCR (invasive and in-situ, only invasive, respectively) in the breast - pCR in lymph nodes - Pattern of non pCR - Overall response according to RECIST v1.1 - Radiological tumor response using two perpendicular diameters - Event free survival (EFS) - Rate of breast conserving surgery (BCS) at the time of definitive surgery - Conversion of intention for mastectomy to BSC and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) or tailored axillary surgery (TAS) after treatment ### Location - **Facility**: Tumor Zentrum Aarau, Aarau, N/A, 5000, Switzerland @@

## Accuracy of Cuffless Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Compared to Cuff-based Monitors in an Ambulatory Elderly Population: A Pilot Study - **NCT ID**: NCT06358378 - **Study ID**: 995 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-15 - **Completion Date**: 2024-09-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Sligo General Hospital ### Study Description Hypertension is extremely common amongst the elderly, typically manifesting as a silent disease with potentially devastating consequences if left undetected and untreated. Such consequences include stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney and eye disease. Opportunistic screening for hypertension is therefore standard in clinical practice. Currently, the standard of care for screening in the western world is with 24-hour ambulatory cuff-based devices which are often intolerable, particularly for elderly patients.Several novel cuffless wearables have been developed to overcome the limitations of cuff-based monitors. These devices offer significant advantages over cuff-based devices, including improved patient tolerance and user acceptability. Numerous cuffless monitors are now commercially available. However, validation of such devices is challenging as there is no current universal standard for validating such devices.5 This is highlighted by the heterogenous and often inadequate study methods used to demonstrate accuracy of commercially available cuffless devices for blood pressure measurements. Indeed, the uncertainty about their merit is reflected in international guidelines. The 2023 European Society of Hypertension guidelines currently do not recommend routine use of such devices in clinical practice for evaluation of blood pressure.There are limited clinical trials comparing 24-hour cuff-based devices directly to cuffless devices, and even fewer specifically in an elderly population where they may be particularly advantageous due to design features that improve tolerability. This study thus aims to address this important gap in the literature to better understand if cuffless devices provide reliable blood pressure measurements in the elderly population by directly comparing these devices to the current standard of care in blood pressure evaluation. The Aktiia device will be used as a surrogate for cuffless wearables while a standard 24-hour ambulatory cuff-based device will represent cuff-based devices. The Aktiia device is a cuffless solution worn as a bracelet on the wrist. It contains optical sensors which collect photoplethysmography signals from arteries in the patient's wrist and uses these to estimate blood pressure. This device is commercially available and clinically validated for use in patients up to age 85. ### Conditions - Hypertension ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: DIAGNOSTIC ### Interventions - Aktiia SA Bracelet ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Mean paired difference between cuffless daytime blood pressure measurements (systolic and diastolic) and cuff-based measurements **Secondary Outcomes** - Mean paired difference between cuffless daytime blood pressure measurements (systolic and diastolic) and cuff-based measurements taken in a resting state - Mean difference between mean 24-hour cuffless daytime blood pressure measurements (systolic and diastolic) and cuff-based measurements on a per patient basis - Tolerability : Mean paired differences on Comfort Rating Scale (CRS) between devices - User Acceptability: Mean paired differences on System Usability Scale (SUS) between devices ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## TEEM-GIFTS: A Gamified mHealth to Reduce Post-Discharge Suicide Risk - **NCT ID**: NCT06358339 - **Study ID**: 72374095 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-09-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Shenzhen Kangning Hospital ### Study Description Patients with mental disorders are at significantly higher risk of suicide after discharge compared to the general population and patients with other diseases. Currently, there is a lack of post-discharge community suicide risk management services in China. The research team's preliminary research suggests that mHealth interventions are well-accepted and feasible for reducing the suicide risk in patients with mental disorders. Furthermore, the inclusion of gamification elements can enhance treatment adherence and user engagement. However, determining the appropriate combination of gamification elements and evaluating the implementation effectiveness of gamified mHealth interventions for suicide risk are challenges in transforming these into regular community mental health services. This study will leverage gamification theory and community-based participatory research to design a gamified mHealth intervention model aimed at reducing suicide risk among discharged patients with mental disorders, and to develop a corresponding management strategy.

## Safety and Efficacy of Ventricular Irrigation for Ventriculitis - **NCT ID**: NCT06358209 - **Study ID**: LY2024-045-B - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-06-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-05-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: RenJi Hospital ### Study Description Ventriculitis is a severe infectious disease of the central nervous system with diverse etiologies. Currently, the treatment for ventriculitis is challenging, with poor prognosis. The mortality rate of ventriculitis is generally reported to be higher than 30%, with the highest reaching over 75%. Even among survivors, over 60% suffer from a variety of neurological sequelae, including cognitive impairment, gait disturbances, paralysis, behavioral disorders, and epilepsy.Currently, treatments for ventriculitis recommended by guidelines primarily focus on the selection and administration of antibiotics, while the effects of surgical interventions have not been fully elucidated. In recent years, several studies have explored the use of ventricular irrigation in ventriculitis, indicating that ventricular irrigation techniques may accelerate the control of ventricular infection, mitigate damage to the central nervous system caused by infections, improve the prognosis of ventriculitis, and reduce complications such as hydrocephalus. However, current studies are still relatively scarce, and mostly case reports and retrospective studies. High-quality evidence is still lacking for the application of ventricular irrigation in ventriculitis.This multicenter randomized controlled trial aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of ventricular irrigation compared to conventional treatment for severe ventriculitis, analyze the effectiveness of ventricular irrigation across different pathogen subgroups, and investigate independent risk factors for different prognostic states in patients with severe ventriculitis. ### Conditions - Central Nervous System Infections ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Ventricular irrigation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Mortality rate **Secondary Outcomes** - GOSE - CRS-R - DRS - mRS - Microbial culture - CSF glucose - CSF protein - CSF WBC count - Length of stay ### Location - **Facility**: First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui, N/A, China @@

## Opioid Dispenser for Microdiscectomy/Laminectomy - **NCT ID**: NCT06358040 - **Study ID**: 2023-0328 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05 - **Completion Date**: 2025-07 - **Lead Sponsor**: Hospital for Special Surgery, New York ### Study Description The opioid crisis continues to plague the United States. While great strides have been made nationwide to decrease overprescribing, improvements are still needed to appropriately educate patients on the safe and responsible use, storage and disposal of opioids. Pain after surgery is often treated with opioid medications. Opioid medications can have side effects. Some side effects are relatively minor (constipation, nausea, vomiting), while others are more severe (sedation, abnormal breathing, etc.) and can lead to serious illness or death. Opioid pain medications when used the wrong way may also be addictive. Due to theses side effects, sometimes patients feel uncomfortable about taking these medications, and doctors prescribe them very cautiously. However, when used properly and safely, opioid pain medications are excellent pain relievers.Addinex, a technology company, has developed a device to help patients take opioids more safely. In this study the investigators aim to enroll a total of 30 patients who undergo spine surgery. Half will be randomly assigned to receive a standard pill bottle with opioids at discharge and will download a mobile app so that they can record their daily pain scores and the number of opioids they take for two weeks after surgery. The other half will receive the new opioid dispenser filled with opioids and a mobile app that generates a passcode that opens that device only at designated times. For this group of patients, every time the patient wants to take an opioid, they need to go to the app, enter their pain score before the app generates a passcode. The investigators will be tracking all study patients' opioid use and pain scores for the two weeks after surgery, will count how many pills they have left over 14 days after their surgery during a live telehealth session, and ask patients how they liked using the device. Results from this study will help understand if the Addinex device could potentially be useful to patients in the future after surgeries as opposed to typical pill bottles. ### Conditions - Opioid Use - Pain, Postoperative - Medical Device - Laminectomy - Diskectomy ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: PREVENTION ### Interventions - Opioid-Dispensing Device - App - Standard Opioid Pill Bottle ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Cumulative Opioid Consumption at Postoperative Day 14 (POD14) **Secondary Outcomes** - NRS pain intensity ratings - Patient satisfaction with the app and with the dispensing device - Frequency of reported difficulties using the device - Frequency of reported difficulties using the app - Opioid prescription refill rates - Concordance of app data and medication left in the device or pill bottle (medication reconciliation) ### Location - **Facility**: Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York, 10021, United States @@

## Assessment of the Improvement in Cognitive Levels of Postmenopausal Depression Patients by Estrogen - **NCT ID**: NCT06358014 - **Study ID**: YX2021-02 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-05-12 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Xiao Wang ### Study Description After menopause, there is a certain tendency towards depression, with the risk of developing depression being about 3 to 4 times higher than before menopause. Additionally, postmenopausal women experience varying degrees of cognitive decline, which are closely associated with hormonal changes. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the cognitive levels of postmenopausal depression patients. Increasing evidence suggests that changes in cognitive function during menopause may be related to the effects of estrogen on cognitive function, and estrogen therapy can effectively improve cognitive decline. Estrogen is not only associated with cognitive symptoms after menopause, but estrogen intervention is also an adjunctive treatment for postmenopausal depression symptoms. There is a close relationship between cognitive levels and depression, as depression itself is accompanied by cognitive decline, and early cognitive decline can also manifest depressive symptoms. Therefore, the cognitive levels of postmenopausal depression patients are also worthy of further attention.This study is an 8-week randomized controlled trial. The subjects are patients with postmenopausal depression accompanied by cognitive decline, all of whom have undergone natural menopause for at least one year; with HAMD-17 scores ≥17 points; and MOCA scores ≤26 points. This study aims to recruit patients with postmenopausal depression accompanied by cognitive decline from the outpatient or inpatient departments of Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the combination group and the control group using a random number method. The combination group will receive estrogen combined with SSRIs, while the control group will only receive Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) intervention. Patients' cognitive function and depressive symptoms will be assessed using scales at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and the end of 8 weeks of treatment, and safety evaluations will be conducted. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in MoCA scores from baseline to the end of the study. Secondary efficacy endpoints include changes in HAMD-17, modified Kupperman Scale, ADL Scale, and hormone levels from baseline to the end of the study. The safety of the study drug will be evaluated through adverse event reporting, clinical laboratory tests, and physical examinations. ### Conditions - Postmenopausal Depression - Estrogen ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Fematon (estradiol/estradiol-norethindrone acetate combination tablet package)+SSRIs - SSRIs ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - The average change value of MOCA total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is the primary efficacy endpoint(0-8week). **Secondary Outcomes** - The average change value of HAMD-17 total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is secondary Outcome Measures - The average change value of HAMA total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is secondary Outcome Measures - The average change value of Kupperman total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is secondary Outcome Measures - The average change value of PSQI total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is secondary Outcome Measures - The average change value of ADL total scores from baseline to 8 weeks of treatment, as assessed by raters, is secondary Outcome Measures ### Location - **Facility**: Beijing Anding Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Beijing, N/A, N/A, China @@

## Short-term Effect of Podiatric Callus Debridement on Plantar Pressure in Diabetic Neuropathic Patients - **NCT ID**: NCT06357884 - **Study ID**: CREC2023.572 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-02-23 - **Completion Date**: 2024-04-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Chinese University of Hong Kong ### Study Description Diabetes peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects up to 50% of the diabetes population. In the diabetic neuropathic foot, it commonly manifests as loss of protective sensation, foot deformity and skin dryness. Alongside with day-to-day weightbearing activities, this can lead to formation of callus over plantar pressure points. Studies have proven that callus formation leads to high plantar pressure and increased risk of diabetic foot ulcers. For podiatrists, diabetic foot screening and treatment is our daily practice. Plantar callus are commonly treated by sharp debridement to relief pressure from the hard skin build up and thus reducing the risk of ulceration. However, the effectiveness of callus sharp debridement is not commonly studied in researches. Only a few studies in the past evaluated the effectiveness of callus treatment by different outcome measurements. Among those studies only 2 were specifically done in diabetic patients, in which one reported results of diabetic neuropathic patients. All the available studies used peak plantar pressure only as their pedobarographic outcome measure. In this study, the treatment effect of podiatric sharp debridement of callus in diabetic neuropathic patients will be evaluated using a range of pedobarographic parameters and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaire. The immediate and short-term (3-4 weeks) effect of sharp debridement in DPN patients with callus could be quantified. Change in loading pattern could also be analysed based on different areas of the foot. ### Conditions - Diabetic Neuropathies - Plantar Callus ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Callus debridement ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Peak plantar pressure (PPP) (unit: kPa) **Secondary Outcomes** - Pressure time integral (PTI) (unit: kPa*sec) - Peak pressure gradient (PPG) (unit: kPa/cm) - Forefoot to rearfoot peak pressure ratio (F/R ratio) - Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) ### Location - **Facility**: Podiatry Department, Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, N/A, N/A, Hong Kong @@

## Closed-loop syncHronization vErsuS convenTional Synchronization in sPontaneously Breathing Adult Nonivasive ventilationPatients - **NCT ID**: NCT06357780 - **Study ID**: 240396837 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-08 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital ### Study Description The study is a multicentric prospective randomised cross-over study. It evaluates the compatibility of patients with the device without altering the routine treatment applied. During this evaluation, either the clinician-adjusted values on the device or the standard pre-set values are used to obtain hourly and 30-minute PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) recordings. These recordings will be analysed offline to identify the settings used and to compare the hourly and 30-minute PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) values when synchronisation is automatically set. The relationships and differences between these values will be analysed. For this purpose, the IntelliSync+ option, already available on the device, will be used. This software continuously analyses waveform signals at least a hundred times per second. This allows for the immediate detection of patient efforts and the initiation of inspiration and expiration in real time, thereby replacing traditional trigger settings for inspiration and expiration. If the patient is already synchronised with this option, it will then be possible to switch to traditional synchronisation settings for comparison. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS 24.0, JASP (Just Another Statistical Programme), Jamovi ( fork of JASP), or R software. Initially, all numerical and categorical data will be evaluated using descriptive statistical methods. The distributions of numerical variables will be examined using visual (histograms and probability plots) and analytical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests). Mean/SD (standard deviation) or median/interquartile range (IQR) will be used as measures of distribution. For comparing numerical data that follows a normal distribution, the Student-t test will be used, and for non-normally distributed data, the Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will be employed. PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) values will be statistically compared. For the analysis of categorical data, the Chi-Square test will be applied. Bayesian analysis may also be used as necessary during the writing of the study. The results obtained will be interpreted and reported by the researchers. Results with a "p" value below 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. ### Conditions - Acute Respiratory Failure - Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Chronic Respiratory Failure ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: CROSSOVER - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - close-loop synchronization controller with spontaneous mode - Conventional ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Asynchrony Index **Secondary Outcomes** - Major Asynchrony index - Minor Asynchrony index - Dyspnea Scale ### Location - **Facility**: Dr.Suat Seren Chest Diseasees Hospital, Izmir, N/A, 35230, Turkey @@

This study aims to test the following aims and hypotheses in a single-armed intervention pilot trial study of pregnant women undergoing the oral glucose tolerance test:Aim 1. To characterize CGM glucose values with the 3-point blood glucose measured during the OGTT procedure.The investigators hypothesize that the CGM glucose values at single time points while fasted, and after the 75-g glucose load will be positively correlated with 3-timepoint blood glucose values captured during the OGTT.Aim 2. To correlate the CGM glucose excursions and CGM-derived metrics (glycaemic variability and glycaemic control) with maternal-fetal outcomes and treatment outcomes.The investigators hypothesize that higher AUC, glycemic variability and poorer glycaemic control will better distinguish maternal-fetal outcomes and treatment outcomes, compared to the OGTT.Aim 3. To describe the acceptability of using the Dexcom G6 CGM as a diagnostic tool instead of the OGTT. The investigators hypothesize that a higher proportion of participants will report CGM to be more acceptable than the OGTT for GDM diagnosis. ### Conditions - Gestational Diabetes - Glucose Metabolism Disorders - Metabolic Disease ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: BASIC_SCIENCE ### Interventions - Continuous glucose monitoring ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Maternal plasma glucose values measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 0-hour (mmol/L) - Maternal plasma glucose values measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 1-hour (mmol/L) - Maternal plasma glucose values measured by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 2-hour (mmol/L) **Secondary Outcomes** - Maternal obstetric outcomes - Pre-eclampsia - Maternal obstetric outcomes- Pregnancy-induced hypertension - Maternal obstetric outcomes - C-section - Neonatal outcomes- Large-for-gestational-age - Neonatal outcomes-Birth weigh - Neonatal outcomes- Small-for-gestational-age - Neonatal outcomes-Pre-term birth - Neonatal outcomes-Neonatal hypoglycaemia ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@
## Effectiveness of Neurodynamic Sliding Mobilisation in the "Slump" Position in Relation to the Perceptible Pain Threshold in Asymptomatic People - **NCT ID**: NCT06357715 - **Study ID**: 2021/373/HP - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-05-09 - **Lead Sponsor**: University Hospital, Rouen ### Study Description According to the French National Health Agency, the use of manual therapy techniques is "possible" \[grade B\] as part of a multimodal combination of treatments for low back pain. These include so-called "neurodynamic" neural mobilisations, which aim in particular to desensitise the pain system and activate descending inhibitory pathways, with effects on pain and function in patients with nerve-related low back pain. Most of the available evidence does not explain the mechanisms involved in neural mobilisation in the slump position. Pain reduction is observed in more areas of the body with sliding techniques than with traction techniques.In this cross-over, randomised controlled trial, we therefore hypothesise that the neurodynamic sliding technique in the slump position acts on mechanisms linked to central pain modulation processes ### Conditions - Voluntary ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: CROSSOVER - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - "slump"position - no" slump" position ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Difference in pressure at the moment when the volunteer indicates that the sensation of pressure becomes pain **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

Participants who are eligible for the study and consent to participate will be randomly assigned to receive a brief behavioral intervention for chronic orofacial pain called Physical Self-Regulation or a control intervention. Interventions will be administered via telehealth in both arms. Both interventions will consist of 2 50-minute sessions scheduled approximately two weeks apart. Participants will be contacted two weeks and three months after completing the interventions to provide additional follow-up data. Investigators hypothesize that both PSR-TH and the control intervention will demonstrate strong feasibility (i.e., recruitment of at least 1 participant per week, \>75% retention, \>95% interventionist fidelity, and adequate acceptability, credibility, and burden). Investigators also hypothesize that specific biopsychosocial variables will moderate PSR-TH-related changes in outcomes, and that PSR-TH-related changes in perceived control over pain, self-efficacy, coping, parafunctional habits, and relaxation will mediate treatment effects. ### Conditions - Temporomandibular Disorder ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Physical Self Regulation Telehealth - Psycho-education Telehealth ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change in pain intensity - Change in pain interference - Change in quality of life - Recruitment rate - Retention rate - Interventionist Fidelity Session 1 - Interventionist Fidelity Session 2 - Treatment Acceptability - Treatment Credibility - Research Burden **Secondary Outcomes** - Treatment Satisfaction ### Location - **Facility**: University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, 40506, United States @@

## Glofitamab Plus Ibrutinib With Obinutuzumab for the Treatment of Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma - **NCT ID**: NCT06357676 - **Study ID**: STUDY00025355 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2029-05-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute ### Study Description This phase IB/II trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of glofitamab plus ibrutinib with obinutuzumab for the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Glofitamab is in a class of medications called bispecific monoclonal antibodies. It works by killing cancer cells. 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). In the body, glofitamab binds to a receptor called CD3 on T-cells (a type of immune cells) and a receptor called CD20 on B-cells, a receptor that is often over-expressed on the surface of cancerous B-cells. When glofitamab binds to CD3 and CD20 receptors, it causes an immune response against the CD20-expressing cancerous B-cells. Ibrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of cancer cells. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Glofitamab plus ibrutinib with obinutuzumab may be safe tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with MCL. ### Conditions - Mantle Cell Lymphoma ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Biospecimen Collection - Bone Marrow Biopsy - Computed Tomography - Echocardiography - FDG-Positron Emission Tomography - Glofitamab - Ibrutinib - Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Obinutuzumab ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) - Proportion of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) **Secondary Outcomes** - Incidence of grade 3 or above adverse events (AEs) - Proportion of patients treated with tocilizumab (TCZ) - Number of doses of TCZ per participant - Objective response rate (ORR) - Progression-free survival (PFS) - Duration of response (DOR) - Duration of complete response (DOCR) ### Location - **Facility**: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, Portland, Oregon, 97239, United States @@

## Providing Web-based Training to Parents Of Children With Leukemia - **NCT ID**: NCT06357585 - **Study ID**: SBUBURCUCALİK - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2021-09-24 - **Completion Date**: 2024-04 - **Lead Sponsor**: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi ### Study Description Following and implementing innovations and current developments in care practices for children diagnosed with leukemia and their parents will allow the quality of care to increase. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of web-based education given to parents of children diagnosed with leukemia on their knowledge level, satisfaction and self-efficacy.The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental research type. The research will be conducted in a single center, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital MH4 Children's Hospital Hematology-Oncology Clinics and Leukemia Polyclinic. The population of the research consists of parents of children diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2-18 who are followed and treated in the specified places. The sample of the research consists of 72 participants, 36 in the experimental group (the group that received web-supported training) and 36 in the control group (the group that continued routine treatment).The consent of the parents who meet the research criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the study will be obtained with the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" and the parents in both the experimental group and the control group will be given the "Child and Parent Introductory Information Form", "Child with Leukemia Parent Information Level Pre-Test Evaluation Form". ", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will be applied. Once the sufficient number is reached, web-based training will be provided to the parents in the experimental group. "Parents of Children with Leukemia Knowledge Level Post-Test Evaluation Form", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Web-Based Parents of Children with Leukemia Training Satisfaction Evaluation Form" will be applied to the parents who complete the training. No intervention will be made to the parents in the control group, and the children will continue their routine care and treatment process. The "Child with Leukemia Parent Knowledge Level Posttest Evaluation Form" and the "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will also be applied to the parents in the control group. ### Conditions - Leukemia ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Web based education - inactive group ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Child with Leukemia Parent Knowledge Level Pre-Test Evaluation Form - Child with Leukemia Parent Knowledge Level Post-Test Evaluation Form - Web-Based Child with Leukemia Parent Education Satisfaction Evaluation Form - Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale - Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Keçiören, 06018, Turkey @@
## Real-life Clinical FEIBA Samples Measured Using the Version A of the HemA EnzySystem - **NCT ID**: NCT06357572 - **Study ID**: ENZ13-2024 - **Status**: COMPLETED - **Start Date**: 2024-03-26 - **Completion Date**: 2024-03-27 - **Lead Sponsor**: Enzyre B.V. ### Study Description The goal of this observational study is to assess if the version A of the HemA EnzySystem, a novel portable coagulation testing platform, can be used in patients with hemophilia A treated with Factor VIII Bypassing Agent (FEIBA). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:* Can the version A of the HemA EnzySystem can record thrombin generation within a time frame of 60 min in fresh whole blood samples of patients with hemophilia A treated with FEIBA?* Are the TGA results of the version A of the HemA EnzySystem in agreement with the TGA results obtained with conventional methods in fresh non frozen plasma?Participants are asked to fill in a questionnaire regarding their general health and hemophilia treatment. Subsequently, blood will be drawn from the patients before, and at 30, 120, and 240 minutes after FEIBA administration. Whole blood is immediately tested using the Version A HemA EnzySystem, and plasma is generated for testing with the Ceveron s100 (Technoclone). Leftover samples are frozen for later additional coagulation testing. ### Conditions - Hemophilia A With Inhibitor - Hemophilia A ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Thrombin generation assay (EnzySystem HemA version A - whole blood) - Thrombin generation assay (Ceveron s100 (Technoclone) - fresh plasma) - Additional coagulation tests ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Time between venipuncture and TGA result **Secondary Outcomes** - Agreement between TGA obtained with the EnzySystem HemA version A and conventional TGA results ### Location - **Facility**: Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Warsaw, Mazowieckie Województwo, N/A, Poland @@
