## Concurrent Aerobic Exercise and Cognitive Training to Prevent Alzheimer's in At-risk Older Adults (The Exergames Telerehabilitation Study) - **NCT ID**: NCT06340659 - **Study ID**: AE and CT - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-07-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-07-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Minnesota ### Study Description Significance of Research Question/Purpose: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is regarded as the first clinical manifestation in the AD-dementia continuum and currently has a prevalence of 11.2% in adults over the age of 45, with incidence increasing with greater age. Furthermore, population-based studies suggest that between 50% and 80% of older individuals (aged 70 years and older) who perform normally on cognitive tests, report some form of perceived decline in cognitive functioning when asked. The SCD state is unique as this population is more likely than their healthy peers to present with AD biomarkers such as neurodegeneration and amyloid burden, and therefore represents probable preclinical AD relative to other causes of SCD. Likewise, growing evidence suggests that a significant proportion of those adults are subsequently found to develop MCI, or AD, following the classic SCD-MCI-AD trajectory, with SCD increasing MCI risk 1.5-3 fold. Preventing Alzheimer's disease (AD) is arguably the most important approach to address the dementia epidemic worldwide because 99.6% of drug trials failed and no drugs can yet prevent, cure, or even slow AD. A treatment that delays the onset of AD by five years could save $89 billion in 2030.This highlights an urgent and pressing need to develop behavioral interventions to prevent AD and slow its progression.The first purpose is to develop a fully-featured version of the Virtual Reality Cognitive Training (VRCT) aspect of the Exergame that can be installed and updated remotely. We will build on the Phase II Exergame by creating the capability that allows it to be installed and updated remotely to facilitate home-based use, especially by older adults. This also helps address a strong preference from our Phase II participants to minimize interaction with outsiders due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, indicating a home- based solution will greatly facilitate commercialization. The second purpose is to determine the efficacy of the Home-based (Hb)Exergame on cognition and aerobic fitness in older adults at risk for AD using a 2:2 factorial design clinical trial. We will measure the following outcomes quantitatively: a) cognition: fluid cognition (global cognition) as the primary outcome, processing speed and other cognitive domains as secondary outcomes; b) aerobic fitness, c) neuroprotective blood biomarkers. ### Conditions - AD-dementia ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: FACTORIAL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Supervised AEx - HbAEx - Supervised Exergame - HbExergame ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - fluid cognition (global cognition) **Secondary Outcomes** - Cognitive Function - Aerobic fitness - Neuroprotective biomarkers and ApoE status. - Exergame-specific usability and satisfaction - Standing balance - Four-meter walking velocity - Repeated chair raise - Quality of Life (QoL) - SCD Symptoms ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## BCAA in Patients Undergoing Gastric Cancer Surgery - **NCT ID**: NCT06340399 - **Study ID**: 202312117RINE - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-28 - **Completion Date**: 2030-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: National Taiwan University Hospital ### Study Description Older patients undergoing gastric cancer resection, at higher risk due to insufficient preoperative muscle mass, are more susceptible to SRML under surgical stress. This not only affects limb muscles but also impacts swallowing muscles, contributing to increased postoperative complications and mortality rates. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has emerged as a multidisciplinary approach to facilitate postoperative recovery. This study aims to optimize oral nutrition under the ERAS model to observe its impact on SRML. BCAA is essential for skeletal muscles. However, there is limited research on the oral BCAA, whether before or after surgery, concerning SRML and its associated complications. The study entails an 18-month randomized controlled trial with 200 participants. One hundred individuals will take BCAA daily 5 to 14 days before surgery. After surgery, they can progress to a clear liquid diet around postoperative day five while continuing BCAA until 30 days postoperatively. The other one hundred participants will not receive BCAA. The study aims to investigate whether oral BCAA can reduce SRML, muscle loss, and decrease swallowing muscle strength, with observations on postoperative complications and outcomes within one year. ### Conditions - Perioeprative Muscle Loss ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - BCAA - patient not administered BCAA ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - the occurrence of surgical related muscle loss **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Impact of Metabolic Flexibility on Changes in Metabolic Health - **NCT ID**: NCT06340321 - **Study ID**: PBRC 2023-081 - **Status**: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION - **Start Date**: 2024-06 - **Completion Date**: 2025-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Pennington Biomedical Research Center ### Study Description Metabolic flexibility is the capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability so that ATP synthesis can match its cellular demands. Thus, for example, increases in glucose availability after a meal would increase glucose oxidation, while increases in lipid availability during fasting would increase lipid oxidation. Enhanced metabolic flexibility has been proposed to protect humans from metabolic diseases. Nevertheless, most studies examining associations between metabolic flexibility and metabolic health outcomes have used cross-sectional designs. Whether impaired metabolic flexibility causes or results from metabolic health impairment is thus unclear.In this study, the investigators will use the data from a study conducted approximately 16 years ago in healthy participants without obesity. Using the data already collected in that study, the metabolic flexibility of each participant will be calculated. To test the association between metabolic flexibility and the change in metabolic health, the investigators will call back all the participants for a single follow-up visit to reassess several metabolic health outcomes. Thus, the main aim of the study is to test the association between metabolic flexibility and the change in metabolic health outcomes after 16 years in humans. ### Conditions - Obesity - Metabolic Syndrome ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Metabolic flexibility in the fasted state - Metabolic flexibility in euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp - Metabolic flexibility in the metabolic chamber ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Glucose - Total cholesterol - HDL cholesterol - LDL cholesterol - Triglycerides - HOMA-IR - Blood pressure - Waist circumference - Body mass index - Body fat percentage **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70808, United States @@

## A Multicenter, Prospective Cohort Study of Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry(PRISm) in a Population - **NCT ID**: NCT06340295 - **Study ID**: 2023313 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-09-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-05-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Peking University First Hospital ### Study Description Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic tract disease and the third leading cause of death worldwide. The treatment effect of COPD is poor, and the disease is progressive, resulting in a serious disease burden. The key reason is that early recognition is difficult and the early pathophysiological mechanism is unclear, which leads to the difficulty of early intervention.PRISm is likely to be the precursor stage of COPD, which may provide an important research object for the study of pathophysiological characteristics, inflammation and immunomodulatory mechanisms of early COPD, and may also become a new entry point for early intervention of COPD. This study attempts to establish a PRISm prospective cohort,and collects blood, EBC and urine for analysis of inflammatory factors, metabolomics, proteomics and microbiome, and performs chest HRCT to obtain imaging indicators, and conducts 3-year dynamic follow-up observation to study the evolution characteristics of pulmonary function and the incidence of COPD in the PRISm cohort. To compare the differences in imaging, inflammatory factors, metabolomics, proteomics and microbiome among the three PRISm groups, and establish a risk prediction model for progression to COPD through PRISm. It lays a foundation for understanding the characteristics of COPD at an earlier stage and exploring new early warning indicators. ### Conditions - COPD ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - N/A ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - The number and proportion of newly diagnosed COPD **Secondary Outcomes** - The number and proportion of continuous PRISm population - The number and proportion of PRISm to normal population - Emerging diseases - Death and cause of death ### Location - **Facility**: Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, Beijing, 100034, China @@

Autism spectrum disorder also presents with inability of body to process sensory information which can causes symptoms such as balance deficits, sensitivity to certain sounds or an exaggerated reaction to a normal stimulus. Autism spectrum disorder can affect the quality of life of an individual to a severe extent. This disorder due to sensory processing deficits also shows difficulty in motor planning, coordination and execution of tasks which can make performing activities of daily living highly difficult to perform. It is called a developmental disorder because it affects the growth. Milestones are often delayed in individuals with autism. Due to these deficits individual with autism if not provided with therapies at the right age can stay dependent on caretaker for their whole life. Rapid repetitive behaviors also known as self-stimulatory behaviors are a way to compensate with anxiety, difficulty in processing sensory information and are often used to stimulate themselves to feel calm. Though not a diagnostic symptom autism often still presents with vestibular dysfunction which affects the balance. Several individuals with autism have showed abnormal vestibular ocular reflexes; abnormally long latency of saccades. Rehabilitation protocol of Autism often includes symptomatic treatment and several therapy protocols such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, applied behavior analysis therapy and play therapy. ### Conditions - Autism Spectrum Disorder ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - conventional treatment - experimental treatment ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Aberrant behavior checklist - Berg Balance Scale (BBS) - Repetitive Behavior Scale - Revised - Functional Reach Test **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: zamam autism Centre, Islamabad, N/A, N/A, Pakistan @@

## Helping Educational Leadership Mobilize Evidence - **NCT ID**: NCT06340074 - **Study ID**: STUDY00010282 - **Status**: COMPLETED - **Start Date**: 2022-08-28 - **Completion Date**: 2023-06-07 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Washington ### Study Description Many universal, evidence-based prevention practices (EBPPs) have been developed to prevent SEB problems, typically in elementary schools, but progress toward widespread implementation has been slow and few efforts have been made to develop and test interventions to enhance EBPP implementation in schools. Schools leaders (e.g., principals) are key to decision making and implementation of EBPPs, and their leadership has been shown to be consistently linked to student outcomes through their intentional efforts to support teacher adoption and use of innovative programs. Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize (HELM) Evidence is a pragmatic, multifaceted, organizationally-focused implementation strategy targeting the implementation leadership and implementation climate of school buildings (through principals) to enhance the adoption and delivery of EBPPs in elementary schools. This pilot study, part of the larger HELM project to adapt and test the strategy based on an existing leadership intervention, Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation (LOCI), will be implemented in the context of Positive Greetings at the Door (PGD), a universal school-based EBPP previously demonstrated to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic engagement. ### Conditions - Behavior, Child ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH ### Interventions - HELM - Implementation Attention Control (IAC) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Proximal Outcome: Strategic Implementation Leadership - Proximal Outcome: Strategic Implementation Climate - Proximal Outcome: Implementation Citizenship Behavior - Proximal Outcome: Implementation Initiative Stability - Implementation Outcome: Fidelity and Sustainment - Observed - Implementation Outcome: Fidelity and Sustainment - Self Report - Implementation Outcome: Reach - Implementation Outcome: Facilitators and Barriers to Implementation - Implementation Outcome: Implementation Cost **Secondary Outcomes** - Student Educational Outcomes - Student Behavioral Outcomes ### Location - **Facility**: University of Washington School Mental Health Assessment, Research, and Training (SMART) Center, Seattle, Washington, 98115-8160, United States @@

## Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of Gluteus Nerves to Improve Hip Strength and Power - **NCT ID**: NCT06340035 - **Study ID**: 20230901 - **Status**: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-09-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-06 - **Lead Sponsor**: Hospital Clinic of Barcelona ### Study Description The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate whether the ultrasound-guided percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation through a needle results in greater gains in strength and power compared to the administration of current through surface electrodes in patients undergoing strength and power assessments. The main questions it aims to answer are:Does percutaneous stimulation of the superior and inferior gluteal nerves using ultrasound-guided needles enhance strength and power more effectively than transcutaneous stimulation through electrodes?Is the effectiveness of current delivery significantly different between percutaneous and transcutaneous methods when assessed with a linear encoder in a standarized hip extension exercise?Participants will:Be randomized into two groups: one undergoing ultrasound-guided percutaneous stimulation of the gluteal nerves (experimental group) and the other undergoing transcutaneous stimulation through electrodes (control group).The same stimulation protocol at 10 Hz frequency with the maximum muscle contraction evoked without pain will be performed in both groups. Then, the participants will undergo strength and power assessment before and after therapy administration using a linear encoder in a hip extension exercise.Researchers will compare the experimental group to the control group to see if the method of current delivery (percutaneous vs. transcutaneous) has a significant impact on the gains in strength and power. This comparison is based on the hypothesis that percutaneous delivery of current, guided by ultrasound, is more effective than simply positioning a surface electrode for transcutaneous stimulation. The evaluation of strength and power will be performed through a linear encoder that measures peak strength and concentric power in each repetition, conducted by a blind operator unaware of the patients' group allocations. ### Conditions - Chronic Pain - Chronic Knee Pain ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - TENS - Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Hip Extension Concentric Peak Power (Watts) - Hip Extension Concentric Peak Strength (Newtons) **Secondary Outcomes** - Concentric Phase Velocity (m/s) - Maximum Strength (1RM in kgs) ### Location - **Facility**: University of Barcelona, Barcelona, N/A, 08036, Spain @@

## HCMV Breakthrough Infections During Letermovir Prophylaxis - **NCT ID**: NCT06339892 - **Study ID**: 2022-3.11/451 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-01-09 - **Completion Date**: 2026-03 - **Lead Sponsor**: Foundation IRCCS San Matteo Hospital ### Study Description The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two strategies to monitor human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections in transplanted patients receiving letermovir (LTV) as anti-HCMV prophylaxis.HCMV infection after transplantation is diagnosed by detection of HCMV DNA in blood. However, due to the peculiar mechanism of action of LTV, most episodes of HCMV DNA detection are caused by release in the blood stream of non-infectious HCMV DNA.In true episodes of productive infection, HCMV DNA in blood is present inside the virion and therefore is resistant to DNAse digestion. Conversely, when non-infectious free-floating HCMV DNA is released in the bloodstream, it will be degraded after treatment of plasma with DNAse and will not be detectable by real-time PCR assays.Researchers will compare determination of HCMV DNA in blood with or without previous digestion of non-infectious free-floating DNA with DNAse.In patients of the Control group HCMV DNA will be tested without DNAse digestion. If HCMV DNA is positive, patients will stop LTV prophylaxis and receive antiviral therapy with another drug.In patients of the Study group HCMV DNA will be tested after DNAse digestion. Only if HCMV DNA is positive after DNAse digestion, patients will stop LTV prophylaxis and receive antiviral therapy with another drug.The main aim of the study is to demonstrate that, by avoiding inappropriate antiviral therapy during LTV prophylaxis, transplant patients will suffer of lower antiviral-drug-related toxicity. A monitoring strategy able to identify true episodes of HCMV productive infection during LTV prophylaxis will lead to a lower rate of inappropriate antiviral therapy and drug-related toxicity without an increased risk of HCMV disease. ### Conditions - Cytomegalovirus Infections - Cytomegalovirus Viremia - Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: DIAGNOSTIC ### Interventions - Determination of HCMV DNA in plasma after DNAse digestion. - Determination of HCMV DNA in blood or plasma. ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - - Proportion of patients with positive HCMV DNAemia developing antiviral drug-related toxicity. **Secondary Outcomes** - Proportion of patients developing HCMV DNAemia during LTV prophylaxis. - Proportion of patients developing HCMV disease within day 100 and between day 100 and 360 from transplant (key secondary endpoint) - Proportion of patients stopping LTV prophylaxis and shifting to GCV/VGCV/FOS therapy. - Proportion of patients requiring GCV/VGCV/FOS therapy between day 100 and 360. - Proportion of patients with persisting HCMV DNAemia. - Proportion of patients developing neutropenia between day 100 and 360. - Proportion of patients developing HCMV-specific T-cell response at day 100, 180, and 360. - Proportion of patients developing LTV-resistant HCMV strains. - Cumulative incidence of acute or chronic GvHD. - Transplant related mortality (TRM), underlying disease relapse, and 1-year survival. ### Location - **Facility**: ASST-Spedali Civili, Brescia, BS, N/A, Italy @@

## The Impact of Lifestyle Intervention on Weight and Fertility in Obese Males - **NCT ID**: NCT06339840 - **Study ID**: 2024-036-01 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-03-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University ### Study Description Obesity, defined by WHO standards as having a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m², affects approximately 800 million people worldwide. It is evident that obesity has become a serious public health issue, resulting in significant health burdens.Previous systematic reviews have indicated an association between obesity and male factor infertility. In populations undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), some studies have shown a correlation between increased male BMI and adverse ART outcomes. Furthermore, the negative effects of obesity may also be transmitted to offspring through genetic and epigenetic changes in reproductive cell DNA, increasing their risk of obesity, metabolic diseases, or other chronic conditions.Currently, there is a lack of data on the impact of weight loss in obese men on fertility, and it is unclear which nutritional pattern in lifestyle interventions can more effectively control weight, improve semen quality, and address related endocrine issues in obese men, thereby improving reproductive treatment outcomes.Based on previous literature, we hypothesize that lifestyle interventions, particularly strict low-carbohydrate diets combined with lifestyle guidance, may offer greater health benefits for obese men. These benefits include effective weight loss, improvement in semen parameters, reproductive metabolic health, quality of life related to reproductive health, and the impact on reproductive treatment outcomes. This provides a basis for non-pharmacological intervention strategies and methods for the health of obese men. ### Conditions - Obesity - Weight Loss - Male Fertility - Artificial Insemination - IVF-ET ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Low-carbohydrate diet group - Health Education Group ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Weight **Secondary Outcomes** - Semen parameter- Sperm concentration - Semen parameter- Sperm motility - Semen parameter- Sperm morphology - Semen parameter- Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) - Semen parameter- Sperm progressive motility (PR) - Semen parameter- Non-progressive motility (NP) - Semen parameter- Immotility (IM) - body mass index (BMI) - Waist circumference - Hip circumference - Lean mass - Fat mass - Abdominal fat - Visceral fat - Blood pressure - Heart rate - Lipid profile-triglycerides - Lipid profile-LDL - Lipid profile-HDL - Lipid profile-VLDL - Lipid profile-total cholesterol - Glucose metabolism-fasting glucose - Glucose metabolism-OGTT - Glucose metabolism-insulin - Glucose metabolism-C-peptide - Glucose metabolism-HbA1c - Sex hormones ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Group Treatment for Caregivers of Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients - **NCT ID**: NCT06339814 - **Study ID**: 05/23-CE - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-03-10 - **Completion Date**: 2024-11-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: IRCCS Eugenio Medea ### Study Description Caregivers of pediatric brain tumor survivors may develop high levels of psychological distress, mostly depression and anxiety, with effects comparable to those of a traumatic event. Several studies suggest that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing could be a promising treatment in similar clinical populations (i.e. adults with brain tumor), but it has never been used for caregivers of pediatric brain tumor. The aims of the present study will be to test the feasibility of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Integrative Group Treatment Protocol for caregivers of pediatric brain tumor survivors in a clinical setting and to evaluate its effectiveness in decreasing the psychological distress in this population. The study will be monocentric, and with two parallel branches: the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Integrative Group Treatment Protocol group, who will receive a 4-session treatment, versus the Treatment as Usual condition, who will receive standard support. Emotional distress will be measured before the treatment, immediately after the end of it, and two months later (follow-up), by means of several clinical scales. Twenty-four subjects will be recruited for each group (caregivers and controls). Statistical analysis will be performed to test the effect of the intervention. If a positive outcome occurs, it could offer preliminary results about the validity of the Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in treating this population's difficulties. ### Conditions - Caregiver Burden ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Integrative Group Treatment Protocol - Treatment As Usual ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Total score - Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Intrusion score - Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Avoidance score - Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Hyperarousal score - Subjective Units of Distress-Total Score - State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State anxiety score - State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait anxiety score - Beck Depression Inventory-Total score - Parenting Stress Index-Total score - Parenting Stress Index-Parental stress score - Parenting Stress Index-Dysfunctional interaction score - Parenting Stress Index-Hard child score - Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents-Total stress score - Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents-Life restrictions score - Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents-Relationship with spouse/partner score - Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents-Social alienation score - Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents-Incompetence/guilt score - Caregiver Burden Inventory-Time-dependence burden score - Caregiver Burden Inventory-Developmental burden score - Caregiver Burden Inventory-Physical burden score - Caregiver Burden Inventory-Social burden score - Caregiver Burden Inventory-Emotional burden score - Family Assessment Device 3-Problem Solving score - Family Assessment Device 3-Communication score - Family Assessment Device 3-Roles score - Family Assessment Device 3-Affective Responsiveness score - Family Assessment Device 3-Affective Involvement score - Family Assessment Device 3-Behavior Control score - Family Assessment Device 3-General Functioning score **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: IRCCSEMedea, Bosisio Parini, Lecco, 23842, Italy @@
## Role of Mucosal Impedance Measurement for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - **NCT ID**: NCT06339801 - **Study ID**: HCJSM-24-193 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-06-01 - **Completion Date**: 2025-08-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Hospital de Clinicas José de San Martín ### Study Description Existing current tests for diagnosing GERD are suboptimal because they lack adequate sensitivity or specificity. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is highly specific for diagnosing GERD, particularly when erosive esophagitis is present (Los Angeles Classification B, C, or D). Nevertheless, its sensitivity is limited, as this scenario is only present in 30% of cases. Most patients will exhibit normal endoscopic findings, indicating Non-Erosive Reflux Disease (NERD). The 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring (MII) is currently considered the gold standard. However, its main limitation is that it can only measure reflux activity over a 24-hour period, in addition to the discomfort caused by the catheter. 6-8 It is noteworthy that 50% of patients with NERD will have pathological reflux, and the other 50% will have a sensory disorder. The importance of making an accurate diagnosis lies in the treatment, which varies in each case.11 Recently, a minimally invasive device was developed and validated in the USA to assess changes in esophageal mucosal impedance. This serves as a tool for evaluating tissue changes associated with chronic reflux. However, this device has recently undergone improvements. This new technology has not been tested yet for GERD diagnosis. The primary benefit would be the ability to diagnose GERD in symptomatic patients with NERD during the initial endoscopy conducted under sedation.ObjectivesThe Main objectives of this study are to:1. Evaluate the diagnostic performance of mucosal impedance measurement.2. Investigate the mucosal impedance pattern in patients with and without GERD.Secondary objectives:1. Evaluate the correlation between the global mucosal impedance measurement vs the first 3cm measurement2. Evaluate the best probability score to distinguish between GERD and non-GERD Design Prospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study Study Design and Procedures The study will be conducted in the Gastroenterology Department of the Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martin, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following a 4-week screening period during which a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) washout will be performed, and baseline measurements will be taken, all patients will undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with mucosal impedance measurement and 24-hour impedance/pH monitoring. ### Conditions - Gastroesophageal Reflux ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - MiVu ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - diagnostic performance - mucosal impedance pattern **Secondary Outcomes** - Correlations - Probability score ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Self-Compassion Training Given to Relatives of Patients in Palliative Care - **NCT ID**: NCT06339762 - **Study ID**: 2024/03-19 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-02-13 - **Completion Date**: 2024-04-13 - **Lead Sponsor**: Firat University ### Study Description The concept of self-compassion is a concept that has been frequently the subject of research lately and has gained importance along with positive psychology. It is also referred to as self-understanding and self-compassion in the literature. The concept of self-compassion used in our study represents the concept of self-compassion in its original form as used in foreign sources. Compassion is classified according to the source to which it is directed or received. It is suggested that there are three different flows: the feeling of compassion that the individual directs from himself to others, the feeling of compassion he receives from others, and the feeling of compassion that he directs directly to his own self. It means showing oneself the same compassion and understanding one does to others, accepting and being open to one's own pain, and being accepting of oneself without being judgmental. Individuals with self-compassion believe that the difficulties, flaws and shortcomings they experience are normal. At the same time, they are aware that being human has characteristics and that everyone can experience these situations. Individuals may be less compassionate towards themselves than they are towards others. Individuals with self-compassion are as understanding, forgiving and loving towards themselves as they are towards other people. ### Conditions - Self-Compassion Training ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Self-Compassion Training ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Self-Compassion Scale: - Care Burden Scale: **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Fırat university, Elazığ, Center, 25240, Turkey @@

## Regional Monitoring of CF Lung Disease - **NCT ID**: NCT06339593 - **Study ID**: 2023-0391 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-01-05 - **Completion Date**: 2028-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati ### Study Description The main reason for this research study is to learn more about some new tests that are being developing for patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) to measure changes in the lungs. In this study, the focus will be to learn how stopping Airway Clearance (ACT) and re-starting ACT can affect these tests. These new tests include using a breathable gas called Xenon (Xe) with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to improve the pictures of changes in the lungs. The Xenon (Xe) gas that has been treated to have a larger MRI signal (also called hyperpolarized). The other new test is called LCI (Lung Clearance Index) that can measure how well the lungs are working. The MRI machine used in this study has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is commercially available for sale in the USA. Hyperpolarized Xe gas is an FDA-approved, inhaled contrast agent for lung ventilation MRI. The new Xe MRI techniques that are being developed and used for this research study are investigational, meaning these new Xe MRI techniques are not FDA approved, but they are similar to FDA-approved techniques that are used clinically at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). Xe gas and the new MRI techniques used in this research study have been used for many years in research, including in many research studies conducted at CCHMC like this one. ### Conditions - Cystic Fibrosis ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Hyperpolarized Xe129 ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Assessing structural and functional lung abnormalities via Xenon MRI **Secondary Outcomes** - Assessing patients who have self-withdrawn airway clearance treatment to determine ventilation abnormalities. ### Location - **Facility**: Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45229, United States @@

## Evaluation of the Venous Thrombotic Biological Profile of Different PCOS Phenotypes: French Cross-sectional Study - **NCT ID**: NCT06339567 - **Study ID**: 671_Hemo-PCOS - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-02-08 - **Completion Date**: 2029-02-07 - **Lead Sponsor**: Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph ### Study Description Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder of women of childbearing age. PCOS can be individualized into several phenotypes, taking into account in particular the presence of hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and BMI. Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance appear to be important factors in the development of cardiovascular cardiovascular disease. In addition, patients frequently use anti-androgenic and/or contraceptive treatments contraceptives, such as combined hormonal contraception (CHC), the use of which is associated with an increased cardiovascular and thrombo and venous thrombosis (VTE). A meta-analysis published in 2020 by Gariani et al.based on three large studies, estimated the risk of VTE in women with PCOS after adjustment for obesity and hormone therapy. This risk was significantly higher compared with women without PCOS (pooled OR 1.89, CI95% 1.60-2.24). No study has looked specifically investigated the risk of VTE according to different PCOS phenotypes. Such data would be very useful in clinical practice, as it would enable monitoring, contraceptive treatment and anti-androgenic anti-androgen treatment according to the PCOS phenotype, while limiting risks. Assessing the differences PCOS phenotypes is limited by the large sample size required. required. VTE is a rare event in women of childbearing age, and the number of PCOS phenotypes is high.PCOS phenotypes. Intermediate markers of VTE risk are used in these situations. These markers are thrombin generation tests (notably ETP) and their sensitivity to activated protein C (nAPCsr) and thrombomodulin (nTMsr), as well as sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). ### Conditions - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: DIAGNOSTIC ### Interventions - Thrombotic profile ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - biological procoagulant profile **Secondary Outcomes** - Insuline resistance and weight - comparison of procoagulant profile depending on insulin resistance - comparison of procoagulant profile depending on hyperangrogenism - comparison of procoagulant profile depending on PCOS phenotype - comparison of procoagulant profile depending on AMH Rate - comparison of QoL score depending on PCOS phenotype ### Location - **Facility**: Hôpital Paris Saint Joseph, Paris, N/A, N/A, France @@

## Real World Environmental Exposure Study With Healthy and Cystic Fibrosis Subjects - **NCT ID**: NCT06339450 - **Study ID**: ExpoCF - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil ### Study Description Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease that leads to early mortality in Caucasians and affects around 7500 patients in France. Progression of the disease depends on pulmonary exacerbations defined as acute deterioration of respiratory symptoms which ultimately impair lung function and quality of life. Most frequently caused by lung bacterial infections, exacerbations' effects include increased cough, increased sputum production, increased use of antibiotics, dyspnea and decreased lung function. The phenotypic variability of CF suggests the implication of other contributors especially to the CF airway disease. Beside genetic and epigenetic alterations, environmental factors - e.g tobacco smoke, air pollution, temperature changes, food intake - appear as relevant candidates. A previous review has discussed current knowledge on the effects of air pollution on the course of CF disease. Although scarce, the existing epidemiological andexperimental literature suggests a link between exposure to air pollutants and adverse health effects.Although scarce, the existing epidemiological and experimental literature suggests a link between exposure to air pollutants and adverse health effects. The EU sponsored REMEDIA project (Impact of exposome on the course of lung diseases, Grant agreement ID 874753) contributes to the understanding of the influence of the exposome on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and CF. Objective of work package 3 within the REMEDIA project is the development of a mobile environmental sensor toolbox that is capable to assess the external exposome.

## Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab With Photon Radiotherapy for Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma - **NCT ID**: NCT06339424 - **Study ID**: 202400156A3 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-29 - **Completion Date**: 2031-03-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital ### Study Description Atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1; anti-PD-L1) in conjunction with bevacizumab (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor; anti-VEGF) has become the established standard first-line systemic treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite an improved objective response rate (ORR) of 27%, the majority of patients face HCC progression and liver failure \[Finn et al., N Engl J Med 2020\]. Developing a new combined treatment strategy to overcome resistance to anti-PD-L1 and anti-VEGF is essential to improve patient outcomes.Radiation treatment (RT) is highly efficacious in controlling localized solid tumors and has become an integral component of the treatment algorithm for unresectable HCC. Importantly, a recent retrospective cohort described that RT combined with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab was associated with favorable median overall survival of 16.1 months (Manzar et al, Cancers 2022). Our preclinical study (Hsieh et al., Science Immunology 2022) revealed that RT combined with PD-L1/PD-1 blockade induces immunogenic cell death and tumor antigen cross-presentation in antigen-presenting cells, thereby potentiating the systemic antitumor T cell responses in murine tumor models. However, whether the combinatorial therapy with RT, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab can trigger synergistic antitumor effects and systemic immune mobilization has not yet been validated in clinical trials for unresectable HCC.Both atezolizumab/bevacizumab and X-ray RT are approved treatment methods for unresectable HCC by the U.S. and Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The present phase II non-randomized trial aims to prospectively document the therapeutic efficacy, safety, and immunological responses in patients with unresectable HCC treated with atezolizumab/bevacizumab combined with conventional photon radiotherapy. ### Conditions - Hepatocellular Carcinoma ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Atezolizumab - Bevacizumab - Photon radiotherapy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Progression free survival (PFS) **Secondary Outcomes** - Local control (LC) - Time to progression (TTP) - Overall Response Rate (ORR) - Overall survival (OS) - Incidence and severity of adverse events ### Location - **Facility**: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou, Taoyuan City, N/A, 333, Taiwan @@
## Exploring Cerebrolysin in Late Thrombectomy for Stroke: Blood-brain Barrier Biomarkers and Imaging Insights - **NCT ID**: NCT06339411 - **Study ID**: 202302239A3 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-07-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital ### Study Description Background:Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability globally, with acute ischemic strokes(AIS) due to Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) presenting significant treatment challenges. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has emerged as an effective intervention for AIS within an 8-hour window from symptom onset. However, the potential to extend this window up to 24 hours for select patients could revolutionize outcomes for those arriving late at comprehensive stroke centers. This study investigates the efficacy and safety of Cerebrolysin as an adjunct therapy to MT in extended time window and improving patient recovery.Methods:We conducted a multi-center, prospective, randomized study within the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital system in Taiwan, targeting 100 AIS patients eligible for MT beyond the traditional 8-hour window. Participants were randomized to receive either standard care or Cerebrolysin post-MT, initiated within 24 hours of stroke onset and continued for 14 days. The study assessed neurological, neuropsychological, and biomarker outcomes at multiple time points post-stroke to evaluate the effects of Cerebrolysin on recovery.Results:The primary outcome will measure the proportion of patients achieving favorable functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) at 90 days. Secondary outcomes include the impact of Cerebrolysin on secondary hemorrhagic transformation, brain edema, mortality rates, and quality of life. The study aims to provide comprehensive data on the benefits of adding Cerebrolysin to the standard post-MT care, focusing on its potential to protect against reperfusion injuries and maintain blood-brain barrier integrity.Conclusion:By evaluating the role of Cerebrolysin in conjunction with MT, this study aims to extend the therapeutic window for AIS treatment, offering hope for improved outcomes for patients who would otherwise be ineligible for current reperfusion therapies. The findings may pave the way for new guidelines in stroke management, emphasizing the importance of integrated care approaches in enhancing patient recovery. ### Conditions - Acute Ischemic Stroke ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Cerebrolysin ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Functional Recovery and Complication Rates Post-Thrombectomy **Secondary Outcomes** - Imaging and High cortical Functional Assessment Endpoints ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@
