## Efficacy Evaluation and Mechanism Study of Ketogenic Diet on Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children - **NCT ID**: NCT06348433 - **Study ID**: QL000003 - **Status**: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-02-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Qilu Hospital of Shandong University ### Study Description Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is characterized by social interaction and communication defects, rigid repetitive behaviors, and often accompanied by speech development retardation. According to the report released by the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to the statistical data analysis in 2020, one out of every 36 8-year-old children (2.76%) was confirmed to have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This ratio is higher than that published in December 2021, when the prevalence rate of 8-year-old children was 1/44 (2.3%) according to the statistics in 2018. Although ASD has a high incidence, there is still a lack of effective treatment measures for autism at present. Drug treatment can only partially alleviate some related symptoms, such as irritability and aggressiveness. Other interventions mainly focus on behavioral and educational interventions, which have limited help to patients. The high cost also leads to a huge burden on families and health care systems. Therefore, finding targeted treatment measures and treatment mechanisms for ASD as soon as possible has become an urgent problem for us to solve.Faced with limited treatment options, as many as a third of parents try various dietary pattern interventions to help their autistic children. In recent years, ketogenic diet, as a diet mode with extremely low carbohydrate, high fat, proper amount of protein and other nutrients, has attracted wide attention. In this mode, increased lipolysis puts the body in a ketosis state, thus ensuring energy supply.Although ketogenic diet (KD) has been proved to be effective in reducing the core symptoms in autistic patients and mouse models, the specific mechanism of KD in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still not completely clear.This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ketogenic diet in improving core symptoms, sleep disorders and gastrointestinal symptoms of ASD children, explore the changes of excitation/inhibition (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) in prefrontal cortex of ASD children before and after ketogenic diet intervention, and try to reveal the mechanism of ketogenic diet in treating ASD. ### Conditions - Autism Spectrum Disorder ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: SEQUENTIAL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Ketogenic diet ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC) - Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS) **Secondary Outcomes** - Gastrointestinal Symptom Scale(GSRS) - Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire(CSHQ) ### Location - **Facility**: Yu Wang, Jinan, Shandong, 274400, China @@

In a self-affirmation, participants are guiding through a writing exercise writing designed to reinforce sources of self-worth before they encounter or engage in stressful or stigmatizing events. Participants in this study will be asked to complete self-affirmation exercises before their 3-month wellness appointments with their endocrinologists over the course of a year. The main questions the investigators are asking are:* Will self-affirmation reduce feelings of stigmatization?* Will self-affirmation increase self-efficacy and motivation to engage in condition management behaviors.* Will self-affirmation improve blood glucose control. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. Participants in the waitlist control condition will also complete writing exercises but they will be abbreviated (this in the psychological literature is referred to as a "low affirmation condition"). At the end of the study, waitlist control participants will have access to the full exercise should they like to receive it.After each appointment and self-affirmation, participants will complete surveys assessing feelings of stigma and motivation to engage in condition management. All participants will already be using continuous glucose monitors.

## Talquetamab in Combination With Iberdomide and Dexamethasone for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma - **NCT ID**: NCT06348108 - **Study ID**: 232514 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-07-01 - **Completion Date**: 2028-06-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Thomas Martin, MD ### Study Description This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of talquetamab in combination with iberdomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). There is currently a significant unmet need for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who are triple class refractory and have been exposed to B-cell maturation antibody (BCMA) targeted therapy. These patients currently have limited treatment options and poor survival. Talquetamab is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat RRMM when given alone. Talquetamab can bring T-cells to the myeloma cell, resulting in myeloma cell death. Iberdomide is an investigational drug. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to treat certain types of cancer including myeloma. Giving talquetamab in combination with iberdomide and dexamethasone may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with RRMM ### Conditions - Multiple Myeloma - Refractory Multiple Myeloma - Relapsed Multiple Myeloma ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: SEQUENTIAL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Talquetamab - Iberdomide - Dexamethasone - Bone Marrow Biopsy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Proportion of participants reporting treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) (Dose Escalation Cohorts) - Proportion of participants experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLTs) (Dose Escalation Cohorts) - Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Dose Escalation Cohorts) - Proportion of participants experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLTs) (Dose Expansion Cohort) - Objective response rate (ORR) (Dose Expansion Cohort) **Secondary Outcomes** - Objective response rate (ORR) (Dose Escalation Cohorts) - Number of participants achieving VGPR or CR and MRD (negative (-)) response - Proportion of participants with treatment-related adverse events - Changes in scores on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) over time - Changes in scores on the EORTC QLQ- Multiple Myeloma Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-M20) over time ### Location - **Facility**: University of Calfornia, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, 94143, United States @@

The goal of the proposed study is to optimize, refine and pilot a pharmacy-based PrEP intervention for female sex workers (FSW) in Zimbabwe. Despite efforts to reach the most impacted and vulnerable populations with PrEP, retention rates, particularly among FSW in Africa, are very low. Relatively high levels of uptake indicate that FSW are interested in PrEP and ready to initiate it, but in most cases fewer than 50% of those who initiate return for medication refills by month 4. Pharmacy-based PrEP has the potential to address known barriers to PrEP retention among FSW such as stigma and access, and coupled with a small escalating incentive in the form of a gift card incentive, could also boost motivation for effective use of PrEP. ### Conditions - Adherence, Medication - HIV Prevention ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH ### Interventions - Pharmacy-based PrEP refill and gift voucher - Control (Standard of care) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - PrEP retention at 6 months **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: CESHHAR Zimbabwe, Harare, N/A, 0000, Zimbabwe @@
## A Comparison of the Metabolic Effects of Zinc-Amino Acid (ZnAA) Versus Zinc Gluconate - **NCT ID**: NCT06348056 - **Study ID**: 2022-07-15499 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-01-22 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of California, Berkeley ### Study Description Food consumption affects zinc metabolism within the body. Lowe and colleagues demonstrated that zinc is directed out of plasma and into tissues, such as into the liver, postprandially . It is likely that zinc absorbed with a meal is directed to the liver via the portal circulation whereas that zinc taken in the fasted state is more readily directed to peripheral blood plasma. Zinc taken with food is more likely to be bound to components of the food matrix and, therefore, it is not absorbed as efficiently by Zip4 ionic zinc transporters in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Some of the zinc in the food matrix may, however, be co-absorbed with amino acids over the whole length of the small intestine . Co-absorption of zinc with amino acids may explain the greater effects of zinc taken with food on omega-6 fatty acid desaturation . The investigators propose that this effect may be maximized by providing supplemental zinc complexed with amino acids. Since the zinc amino acid complex likely mimics the absorption and retention of zinc bound to protein in food, the investigators further propose that zinc, bound to amino acids taken in the fasted state will be directed into the cellular compartments more efficiently than zinc associated with gluconate.The primary aim in this study is to determine whether providing a zinc amino acid complex has a greater effect on indices of essential fatty acid desaturation compared with zinc gluconate when the zinc complexes are taken in the fasting state.The investigators hypothesize that taking a zinc amino acid (Zn-AA) complex in a fasted state daily for two weeks has a greater effect on the Fatty Acid Desaturase 1 (FADS1) activity compared with zinc gluconate. Also, if the uptake of ionic zinc gluconate into cellular compartments is reduced in comparison to Zn-AA because the zinc gluconate is retained in the plasma, two weeks of a daily zinc gluconate will have a greater effect on fasting plasma zinc concentrations compared to a Zn- AA complex. ### Conditions - Response of Fatty Acid Desaturation to Zinc Intake ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: CROSSOVER - **Primary Purpose**: BASIC_SCIENCE ### Interventions - 30 mg Zn Amino Acid daily for 13 days - 30 mg Zn Gluconate daily for 13 days ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - FADS1 activity index **Secondary Outcomes** - Fasted plasma zinc concentration ### Location - **Facility**: University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California, 94720, United States @@

During RTS, division, dissection, and sealing of lung tissue, bronchi, and blood vessels can be performed using handheld staplers with assistance from a bedside surgeon (Surgeon-Assisted), or totally robotically with robotic staplers and energy devices by the console surgeon (Totally Robotic). Totally Robotic lung resection enables the operating surgeon to perform the case independently, but its implication on costs and patient outcomes remains unknown. There also is, however, a lack of prospective research evaluating the costs of the two methods for dissection and vessel sealing in RTS. This RCT aims to evaluate the costs and perioperative patient outcomes of Totally Robotic lung resection using the Vessel Sealer Extend energy device (for vessels \<7mm) and the SureForm robotic stapler (Intervention) versus Surgeon-Assisted robotic lung resection using the Signia stapler (Control) during RTS for NSCLC using the da Vinci system. ### Conditions - Lung Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Medtronic Signia Stapler - Vessel Sealer Extend Energy Device and SureForm Stapler ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Costs of Totally Robotic versus Surgeon-Assisted Robotic Lung Resection **Secondary Outcomes** - Operating Room Time - Length of Stay in Hospital - Duration of Chest Tube - Intraoperative Complications and Adverse events (AEs) ### Location - **Facility**: St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Hamilton, Ontario, L8N 4A6, Canada @@

## Alberta Chiropractic SelfBack Study - **NCT ID**: NCT06347991 - **Study ID**: Pro00140155 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2025-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Alberta ### Study Description Recurrent and persistent low back pain (LBP) is a massive problem in Canada that causes a substantial pain, disability, cost, and even premature death.The good news is that treatments for recurrent and persistent LBP are available. Many guidelines now recommend education and exercise as the best intervention for chronic LBP. Unfortunately, education and exercise programs are not publicly funded in Canada-only Canadians with extended health benefits can access these programs.As a result, the 50% of Canadians who do not have extended health benefits often seek care for LBP from their publicly funded physicians. Physicians, in turn, have little choice but to reach for what they have available, including opioids, x-rays and referrals to specialists. Not only are these interventions unhelpful for chronic LBP, they are often harmful, sometimes deadly, and disproportionately affect lower socio-economic status households.A possible solution to this problem exists in a validated app (SelfBack) that provides tailored self-management plans consisting of advice on physical activity, physical exercises, and educational content. Tailoring of treatment plans to individuals is achieved by using case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology which is a branch of artificial intelligence.This study will evaluate the feasibility of distributing the SelfBack app to persons experiencing LBP through their chiropractors.The results of this study will help us understand the barriers and facilitators of distributing and using the app through Alberta Chiropractors. This information will be used to apply for funding for a larger study to understand the effectiveness of the app as an intervention for persistent and recurrent LBP. ### Conditions - Chronic Low-back Pain ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - SelfBack ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - The percentage of patients who utilize the SelfBack app **Secondary Outcomes** - The percentage of clinicians who utilize the SelfBack app ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

Where a woman has a breast with adequate volume, even larger cancers can be removed in an aesthetically acceptable way with re-shaping of the breast (often reduction and lift) incorporated into the cancer removal. An expectation and desire for most women is that the nipple and areola (known as the 'nipple-areolar complex' or NAC) is not only preserved, but re-positioned (usually lifted) to re-balance the overall aesthetic result.In moving the NAC, the surgeon must ensure an adequate blood supply is maintained to preserve nourishment of the NAC tissue otherwise it can die (necrose) resulting in its removal. The tissue carrying the blood supply is known as a 'pedicle' and is fashioned by the surgeon for each patient during surgery.We know as surgeons, that in most areas of anatomy of the human body there are variations in the pattern of blood vessels. The NAC blood supply is no exception. Yet for each individual patient, the only way to safely know these anatomical patterns is to map them before or during surgery.A surgical tool utilising an aspect of ultrasound (known as doppler) is often used to locate visually (or by hearing) blood flow from blood vessels in operations where such knowledge is critical to the success of the procedure (for example DIEP-based breast reconstruction or chest wall perforator flaps).We would like to evaluate the effectiveness of the routine use of doppler for NAC preservation during mammoplasty procedures to see if it gives the consultant surgeon and/or trainee a greater degree of confidence when shaping the NAC pedicle to preserve its blood supply.In addition, we evaluate the training potential of patients undergoing symmetrising breast reduction, whereby the tissue removed is first mapped using acoustic doppler as for the NAC above. ### Conditions - Breast Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Use of Acoustic and color imaging doppler during surgery for breast cancer ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Full-thickness (complete or partial) necrosis of nipple-areolar complex **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Royal Marsden - Surrey, Sutton, England, SM2 5PT, United Kingdom @@

## Evaluation of the Effect of Photobiomodulation on Sexual Quality of Life in Women With Breast Cancer - **NCT ID**: NCT06347926 - **Study ID**: PROICM 2023-11 EVA - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-06 - **Completion Date**: 2025-08 - **Lead Sponsor**: Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle ### Study Description The treatment of breast cancer as well as the disease are responsible for genito-urinary symptoms that can persist over time and impair quality of life. Given the improved prognosis of breast cancer, more and more patients are confronted with specific post-cancer issues, and the care has become a major health challenge.Sexual health is a crucial component of well-being and overall quality of life. Vaginal dryness and dyspareunia are symptoms frequently found in patients treated for breast cancer, with chemotherapy and hormone therapy as risk factors. However, the treatment of sexual disorders remains underdeveloped in France.Vaginal dryness is part of a broader syndrome known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), or vulvovaginal atrophy, which may combine vulvovaginal (dryness, irritation, burning), sexual (dyspareunia) and urinary (infections, pollakiuria, urgency) symptoms secondary to hypoestrogenemia, exacerbated by breast cancer treatments. Since hormonal treatments are contraindicated, the first-line treatment for GSM in patients treated for breast cancer is the application of non-hormonal trophic treatments (regular vaginal moisturizers, lubricants during intercourse). However, these treatments are often insufficient to provide effective relief. There is therefore growing interest in the development of second-line treatments for GSM : intra-vaginal hyaluronic acid injections, laser, photobiomodulation (PBM), etc. PBM using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for genitourinary syndrome of the menopause. The tissues are exposed to light sources in the visible spectrum, inducing non-thermal, non-cytotoxic biological effects that improve vaginal tissue trophicity. A study is planned to evaluate the use of photobiomodulation in 2nd-line treatment of GSM (after 1st-line treatment with vaginal moisturizers) and on the quality of sexual life of patients treated for breast cancer at any stage of treatment. ### Conditions - Breast Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Photobiomodulation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Sexual satisfaction score on one dimension of the SHQ-22 questionnaire **Secondary Outcomes** - Sexual quality of life scores obtained on all dimensions of the SHQ-22 questionnaire - Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) score - Determination of the Vaginal Health Index clinical score - Determination of symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy by a visual numerical scale - Determination of adverse events by using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) scale of the National Cancer Institute. - Number of patients taking other treatments for treating sexual troubles ### Location - **Facility**: Institute of Cancer in Montpellier, Montpellier, Hérault, 34298, France @@
## Umblical Artery Systolic \Diastolic Ratio and Amniotic Fluid Index in Prediction of Fetal Outcome in Term Pregnancy - **NCT ID**: NCT06347913 - **Study ID**: Soh-Med-24-03-09MS - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04 - **Completion Date**: 2025-03 - **Lead Sponsor**: Sohag University ### Study Description Antepartum fetal surveillance is the cornerstone of management in pregnancy. \[1\] It is done primarily to reduce the incidence of adverse fetal outcomes. It minimizes morbidity by optimizing the timing of delivery. Fetus at risk of chronic hypoxia is identified and unnecessary interventions are avoided. However, fetal surveillance acts as a diagnostic modality to detect the influence of maternal, placental, and fetal factors on the fetus. The timely detection of morbid changes in the fetal status followed by adequate interventions to avoid death or disability is one of the most important objectives of prenatal care. \[2\] Tests now commonly done for antepartum fetal surveillance are nonstress test (NST), amniotic fluid index (AFI), biophysical profile, Doppler study of umbilical artery (UA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA).\[3 6\] However, AFI and UA Doppler velocimetry both form an essential part of the antenatal surveillance in the assessment of fetal well being. UA Doppler is a powerful tool that allows the obstetrician to follow a sequence of fetal hemodynamic events that happen in response to placental insufficiency. \[7\] However, several studies have reported higher sensitivities and specificities for UA Doppler ratio for prediction of fetal prognosis. \[3 6\] Amniotic fluid is the product of complex and dynamic fetal and placental physiologic processes. Disruption of the fine balance may result in overproduction or underproduction of fluid. Liquor adequacy often reflects the fetal status. Oligohydramnios is associated with increased perinatal loss. Furthermore, other studies indicate that UA velocimetry is a predictor of adverse outcomes in pregnancies complicated by oligohydramnios. \[8,9\] Thus, arterial Doppler velocimetry measurement may be useful in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes adjunct to other antenatal surveillance tests, especially the AFI. Therefore, the present study will be done to evaluate the comparative assessment of UA ratio and AFI in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. ### Conditions - Umblical Artery Doppler in Term Pregnancy ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - ultrasound ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Umbilical Artery Systolic/Diastolic Ratio **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Sohag university Hospital, Sohag, N/A, N/A, Egypt @@

## Outcome of Pulp Revascularization of Necrotic Mature Permanent Teeth Using Platelet-rich Fibrin - **NCT ID**: NCT06347640 - **Study ID**: KingAbdullahUH2 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-12-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: King Abdullah University Hospital ### Study Description Regenerative endodontic procedures are intended to replace damaged tooth structures, including dentine and root structures, in addition to cells of the pulp-dentine complex. This treatment modality have been tested on immature necrotic teeth because they are anticipated to have a greater chance of pulp tissue regeneration.However, it has been recently suggested for treating fully formed mature necrotic permanent teeth with closed apices since the conventional root canal treatment yielded many drawbacks.A number of studies have evaluated the regeneration outcomes of using blood clot as a scaffold. However, there are limited studies in the literature on using other scaffolds such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).This clinical study will evaluate clinically and radiographically the effectiveness of PRF versus induced bleeding in treating mature necrotic teeth. Fifty patients with necrotic mature teeth with periapical lesions will be invited to participate in this study. Teeth will be treated using calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicament then using PRF (n=25) and blood clot (n=25) as scaffold. All teeth will be sealed coronally using NeoMTA Plus™. Treated teeth will be assessed clinically and radiographically using 2D periapical radiographs. The reported clinical and radiographic outcomes will be compared using SPSS. ### Conditions - Pulp Revascularization ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - induced bleeding - plasma rich fibrin ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Complete healing **Secondary Outcomes** - regain the pulp sensibility ### Location - **Facility**: Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, N/A, POBOX 3030, Jordan @@

## Supported Rescue Packs Post-discharge in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - **NCT ID**: NCT06347536 - **Study ID**: IRAS331831 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05 - **Completion Date**: 2027-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust ### Study Description Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease affecting approximately 10% of the adult population globally. COPD is recognised to be an important area of focus, as part of one of the healthcare challenges defined by the Office of Life Sciences. Patients with COPD often experience exacerbations which are triggered episodes leading to disease worsening. Exacerbations are associated with increased morbidity and a risk of mortality.Severe exacerbations, where patients are hospitalised, are of particular concern to patients, carers and healthcare givers. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that hospital clinicians looking after patients with COPD should provide rescue packs (a course of prednisolone and antibiotics) and a basic management plan to patients on discharge. It is recognised that there is a high-risk 90-day period to patients with COPD following discharge from hospital, where there is a 43% risk of readmission and a 12% risk of mortality; however repeated national audit data has shown that, despite NICE recommendations this high risk of readmission and mortality has not changed.A multicentre randomised clinical trial of 1400 patients will be conducted in 30 acute NHS trusts. This will test the hypothesis that a self-supported rescue pack management plan consisting of rescue packs + written self-management plan + twice weekly telephone/text symptom alert assessments in the high-risk 90-day period is better than standard care in reducing 90-day readmission by 20%. If successful, this intervention would be rapidly implementable, improve patient clinical outcomes and have a cost saving of approximately £350 million per annum. ### Conditions - COPD - COPD Exacerbation ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Supported rescue pack ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Time to first all-cause readmission within 90 days of discharge **Secondary Outcomes** - Time to and frequency of COPD-related readmissions at 30 and 90 days - Days alive and out of hospital at day 90 - Time to and frequency of all COPD exacerbations at days 30 and 90 - Cumulative systemic oral corticosteroids use over 90 days - Cumulative systemic antibiotic use over 90 days - Health care contacts at baseline, days 90 and 180, and 1 year - All cause readmission at 30 days - All cause-, cardiovascular- and COPD- related mortality at day 90 and over 12 months - EQ-5D-5L Health questionnaire (quality of life) at days 90 and 180, and 1 year - Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER, a ratio of the additional cost divided by the additional effectiveness of SRP compared to UC) at days 90 and 180 and 1 year - Qualitative interviews to examine and describe usual care - Qualitative interview examination of fidelity to and adaptation of the plan in the intervention arm - Serious adverse events - Antimicrobial resistance - Quality of life COPD assessment Test (CAT) score at days 90, 180 and 1 year ### Location - **Facility**: University Hospitals Birminham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, N/A, N/A, United Kingdom @@

The ligand and soluble versions are its two isoforms. The interleukin-33-ST2 ligand complexs development provides protection against heart fibrosis and hypertrophy. Investigations on heart failure in adults has demonstrated that it does not change by age, body mass index (BMI), creatinine, hemoglobin, and albumin levels, in contrast to NT pro brain natriuretric peptit. In adult heart failure patients, it has been demonstrated to be an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events. The most recent guideline recommends using it as class 2b in the diagnosis of adult heart failure. Studies on ST2 in children are rare. The purpose of this study is to assess the prognostic value of ST2 for cardiovascular events in young individuals suffering from heart failure.Method: The study included pediatric patients (0-18 years old) with congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy who needed medical care as well as surgical or interventional treatment.

The study will recruit participants from patients who attend the clinic with uncomplicated malaria and are treated with conventional artemisinin-combination therapies (ACT) as part of standard clinical care. From this population, we will select P. falciparum gametocyte carriers.Before, during and after ACT treatment, the transmission potential of artemisinin resistant and wild type infections will be assessed by microscopy, molecular methods, parasite culture and mosquito feeding assays. Parasite clearance will be determined in the first days (d0-3) after treatment.The study population will consist of passively recruited patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria who are microscopy positive for gametocytes. Participants will be treated with conventional therapies for uncomplicated malaria without randomization: artemether-lumefantrine (AL) or dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA-PPQ). All doses are supervised. Parasite clearance is assessed ex vivo by ring-stage survival assays and by daily slides during the first days of treatment.Gametocyte carriage and gametocyte commitment/production will be determined for resistant and wild type infections before, during and after treatment. In addition, venous blood will be collected at three timepoints to assess transmission to mosquitoes before (d0), during (d2) and after treatment (d7).

## Permanence of Indocyanine Green in Axillary Lymph Nodes 3 Weeks After Subdermal Injection in Patients With Breast Cancer and Metastatic Lymph Nodes - **NCT ID**: NCT06347354 - **Study ID**: CRO-2024-15 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-07 - **Completion Date**: 2025-08 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centro di Riferimento Oncologico - Aviano ### Study Description In the case of a pre-operative diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), sentinel lymph node biopsy is generally not indicated whereas it is considered standard clinical practice for patients with clinical stage I-II infiltrating breast cancer who have clinically negative axillary lymph nodes or clinically suspicious lymph nodes with negative needle aspiration findings. It is not uncommon that, in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ at preoperative diagnosis, there may be an upgrade on definitive histological examination due to the identification of foci of infiltration (about one-fifth of cases), requiring axillary lymph node biopsy in a second surgery. Prospective studies have shown that the sentinel lymph node identification rate after recent breast-conserving surgery is suboptimal. With regard to the false negative rate (FNR), several studies demonstrated that it could be associated with different techniques used for lymph node identification. Lymph node biopsy by Indocyanine green (ICG) is capable of identifying the sentinel lymph node, however, there are no data in literature on the permanence of ICG in the lymph node system. The knowledge of this data would allow the application of this method, already considered safe for the identification of the sentinel lymph node at the time of breast surgery, also in those situations in which the sentinel lymph node biopsy is postponed due to the upgrade of definitive histological diagnosis from carcinoma in situ to infiltrating/micro-infiltrating carcinoma.The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes 3 weeks after subcutaneous injection in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery. Marking the sentinel lymph node before breast surgery in cases of DCIS with risk factors could reduce the false negative rate, allowing to increase the accuracy of the procedure in identifying the lymph node potentially involved by metastatic infiltration. In addition, the identification of the sentinel lymph node in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery, could increase the sensitivity of the surgery in staging axillary disease and could make the lymph node exeresis more targeted, reducing the morbidity of the surgery resulting in a better outcome for the patient. ### Conditions - Breast Cancer ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Indocyanine green ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes at 2-3 weeks after subcutaneous injection of Indocyanine Green (2.5 mg), in patients who will undergo radical axillary surgery **Secondary Outcomes** - Identification of the total number of fluorescent lymph nodes - Differences in the qualitative assessment (intensity) of fluorescence between the removed lymph nodes: lymph nodes will be divided into group A "intense fluorescence" and group B "mild fluorescence" - Association between histological positivity for metastases in sentinel and non-sentinel lymph nodes - Association between the patient's demographic/clinical variables and the presence or absence of fluorescent lymph nodes ### Location - **Facility**: Centro di Riferimento Oncologico (CRO) di Aviano - IRCCS, Aviano, Pordenone, 33081, Italy @@

## The Benefits of Posterior Joint Infiltration in Chronic Low Back Pain - **NCT ID**: NCT06347328 - **Study ID**: 23-AOI-01 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-09 - **Completion Date**: 2027-03 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice ### Study Description Lumbar facet joints have been implicated in chronic low back pain in over 45% of patients with isolated chronic common low back pain.Low back pain is the most common form of spinal pain, more chronic and severe than cancer pain. The annual prevalence of chronic low back pain ranges from 15% to 45% (one-off prevalence, 30%; lifetime prevalence, 54-80%). Because of this extremely high incidence, doctors from a wide range of specialities perform interventional techniques in a variety of settings.Facet joints have long been recognised as a source of back pain. In 1911, Goldthwait first recognised their role as a potential source of back pain. In 1933, Ghormley introduced the term "facet syndrome", defining lumbosacral pain with or without radicular pain. Badgley later suggested that facet joints could be a primary source of pain independently of spinal nerve compression. They demonstrated the role of posterior facet joints (PFJs) in a large number of patients with low back pain whose symptoms were not caused by a herniated disc. The underlying physiological concept of the PJF was introduced by Hirsch et al in 1963. They demonstrated that injecting a hypertonic saline solution into the region of the facet joints caused pain.The management of chronic low back pain due to zygapophyseal involvement (lumbar facet joints) consists primarily of conservative treatment. This is based on analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy and weight loss, where appropriate. Other non-surgical options may be proposed, including glucocorticoid injections into the facet joints. Glucocorticoid injections, which act by reducing inflammation, are commonly used in routine care to treat spinal pain. This pain may be due to a variety of pathologies, including discogenic or facet-related, or mixed, ligamentous or muscular, linked to a regional or global disorder of spinal statics. They are commonly used as a standard treatment for chronic spinal pain.Traditionally, in routine clinical practice, if there is significant paravertebral contracture and the clinical signs point to posterior joint involvement, a glucocorticoid injection is given in the doctor's surgery at the time of consultation, using anatomical landmarks to guide needle placement. However, few studies have demonstrated the efficacy of anatomical marking for infiltration of posterior joints, notably Cohen et al. Sui's systematic review of the use of this technique.With the advent of new imaging modalities such as ultrasound, more and more practitioners are turning to image-guided injections. To date, only the fluoroscopy-guided technique is considered reliable for facet joint infiltration.In order to improve the clinical efficacy of the various interventional therapeutic solutions, some authors have supported the use of ultrasound guidance. Several studies have been published comparing ultrasound-guided infiltration and infiltration using anatomical location in the shoulder region, the iliopsoas and in epicondilitis. While ultrasound guidance in areas such as the iliopsoas or the shoulder seems useful, it has not yet been proven that guidance is advantageous in spinal areas, such as the facet joints.To our knowledge, no randomised, methodologically sound study has yet been carried out to compare the benefit of ultrasound-guided infiltration versus infiltration with anatomical location.The aim of our study is to show that ultrasound-guided zygoapophyseal infiltration is superior to anatomically-guided infiltration in terms of pain assessment. ### Conditions - Chronic Low-back Pain ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - echo-guided infiltration - non-echo-guided infiltration ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change of pain progression **Secondary Outcomes** - measure function state by EIFEL questionnaire - measure function state by ODI questionnaire - pain evaluation by VAS scale ### Location - **Facility**: CHU de NICE, Nice, CHU De Nice, 06000, France @@

## Study of Vitreoretinal Molecular Changes During Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment - **NCT ID**: NCT06347302 - **Study ID**: EID 2023 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04 - **Completion Date**: 2025-10 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon ### Study Description Retinal detachment is a condition with an estimated incidence of between 9.5 and 18.2 cases per 100,000 individuals.It is an ophthalmological emergency that threatens visual acuity and requires surgery. However, despite satisfactory post-operative anatomical results, vitreoretinal proliferation and photoreceptor death can still have a negative impact on visual prognosis. These complications are still not fully understood.A previous study carried out by the Eye, Nutrition and Cell Signalling team at the CSGA, comparing mouse models of retinal detachment with healthy control retinas, revealed an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and a change in retinal lipid abundance in detached retinas.However, these results have yet to be confirmed in humans. Our main hypothesis is that the vitreous content of omega-3 PUFAs and proteins is altered during the onset of retinal detachment, since it reflects both intraocular inflammation and photoreceptor apoptosis.We therefore wish to demonstrate that the protein and PUFA contents of the vitreous humour are different between eyes with retinal detachment and eyes not affected by retinal detachment after macular surgery (epiretinal membrane or macular hole). We would like to show that the vitreous PUFA content is lower in the macular surgery group due to the absence of photoreceptor apoptosis and the absence of dehiscence causing communication between the subretinal space (photoreceptors whose membranes are very rich in PUFAs) and the vitreous space. We also hope to identify changes in the protein composition of vitreous fluid in patients with retinal detachment, with overexpression of proteins involved in inflammation pathways.In addition, we hypothesise that retinal omega-3 PUFA content is a factor influencing retino-vitreal proliferation and functional and anatomical recovery from retinal detachment. To this end, we will study the correlation between retinal PUFA-3 content and the clinical presentation and postoperative course of retinal detachment.Finally, with the aim of identifying a serum marker for the prognostic evaluation of retinal detachment, we will use as a candidate a biomarker of retinal omega-3 PUFA content that we have developed in an Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) model. We will analyse the correlation between this biomarker and levels of omega-3 PUFAs measured directly in the retina.To do this, we will analyse intraoperative samples of vitreous humour, sub-retinal fluid and retinal fluid from patients undergoing vitrectomy for retinal detachment in the Ophthalmology Department of the Dijon University Hospital. A group of control patients will consist of patients operated on by vitrectomy for macular surgery (epiretinal membrane or macular hole) for whom a vitreous humour sample will also be taken.Clinical information on the characteristics of the retinal detachment will be collected. During the consultation, the patient will be questioned about any history of dyslipidaemia and any current treatment, including the use of lipid-enriched food supplements. Post-operative follow-up with prospective collection of clinical and paraclinical data on anatomical and functional evolution will be carried out up to 6 months after the occurrence of retinal detachment.A blood sample will be taken to establish a lipid profile in all patients. We will thus gain a better understanding of the changes in lipid and protein content in the vitreous humour, sub-retinal fluid and retina, and the demonstration of a link between the initial presentation and the postoperative anatomical and functional evolution of retinal detachment. This will provide a better understanding of the lipid-dependent mechanisms linked to inflammation and photoreceptor degeneration during retinal detachment, and will ultimately make it possible to develop new therapeutic strategies to improve visual prognosis. ### Conditions - Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Blood sampling - vitreous sampling - Sub-retinal fluid sampling - Retinal tissue sampling ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Molecular content of fatty acids and proteins in the vitreous humour of eyes operated on for retinal detachment and eyes operated on for macular surgery **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Chu Dijon Bourgogne, Dijon, N/A, 21000, France @@

## Simultaneous Care in Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer: the SupCare Study - **NCT ID**: NCT06347185 - **Study ID**: EORTC-2236-HNCG-QLG - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-09 - **Completion Date**: 2028-12 - **Lead Sponsor**: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC ### Study Description This is a late phase II, prospective, multicenter randomized study, to assess the value of early palliative care integrated with the standard oncologic care in patients with Recurrent Metastatic (RM) Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) proposed to first line palliative systemic treatment.The study randomizes patients in a 1:1 fashion to standard oncologic care, in which the palliative care is requested as needed (reactive approach) or to early palliative care integrated with the standard oncologic care (proactive approach).Standard of Care: the oncologist will be the main referral of the patient, deciding the therapeutic approach, the assessments requested, in terms of type of exams and timing and the need of possible further support from other expertise. The oncologist will base the choices also upon the results of the Liverpool Head and Neck Patient Concern Inventory (PCI-H\&N) and the patient's preferences. At the end of the first oncological visit, the physician will be asked to predict the survival of the patient.Integrated approach: Besides the Oncology visit, patient will have the palliative care expert visit and follow up. The oncologist will define the therapeutic approach and the assessments requested, in terms of type of exams and timing. The palliative care clinician and the oncologist will judge the burden of symptoms and together they will propose the suggested interventions to relief the symptoms, with a particular attention to a validated instrument (the PCI-H\&N) and patient priority questionnaire's results.Stratification Factors* Institution* Performance Status (PS) (0 vs 1-2)* Presence of any caregiver at home* Type of treatment (Immunotherapy alone vs any other combination)Study duration: the total study duration is estimated at 36 months, with a total accrual time estimated to be 24 months from first patient in (FPI) and with an additional follow-up period of 12 months.End of study occurs when all patients have completed their end of study visit and the study is mature for all analyses defined in the protocol and the database has been cleaned and frozen for these analyses. ### Conditions - Head and Neck Neoplasms ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Early palliative care, integrated with the standard oncologic care (proactive approach) - Palliative care requested as needed, integrated with the standard oncologic care (reactive approach) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change from baseline in emotional functioning and pain scores according to Item List (IL) 250 questionnaire at 15 weeks. **Secondary Outcomes** - Change from baseline in emotional functioning and pain scores according to Item List 250 (IL250) questionnaire at 6 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks. - Change from baseline in the selected Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scales from the Item List 250 (IL250) questionnaire at 6 weeks, 15 weeks, 24 weeks and 52 weeks - Number of unplanned visits to emergency room or specialist visits - Hospitalization due to treatment toxicities or tumour signs/symptoms, as evaluated by number of admissions and duration - Identification of the rate of patients starting a new systemic treatment in the last three months of life - Rate of patients receiving systemic treatment in the last month of life - Rate of patients with a tracheostomy performed in the last 3 months of life - Rate of patients with gastrostomy performed in the last 3 months of life - Caregiver/family members' satisfaction (FAMcare questionnaire) at 15 weeks - Overall Survival (OS) - Prediction error of survival (defined as the difference between actual survival (AS) of patients and clinician prediction of survival (CPS)) ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@
