NCT03793166
This phase III trial compares the usual treatment (treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab followed by nivolumab alone) to treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab, followed by nivolumab with cabozantinib in patients with untreated renal cell carcinoma that has spread to other parts of the body. The addition of cabozantinib to the usual treatment may make it work better. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known how well the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab after initial treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab works in treating patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
NCT04726241
This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.
NCT07223762
The Hyperangulated versus Standard Geometry Laryngoscope Blade (ANGLE) Trial is a multi-center, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of use of a hyperangulated video laryngoscope blade versus use of a standard geometry video laryngoscope blade. Critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation in participating EDs and ICUs who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either intubation using a hyperangulated video laryngoscope blade or a standard geometry video laryngoscope blade. The primary outcome is the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt. The secondary outcome is incidence of hypoxemia during the interval between induction and 2 minutes after tracheal intubation.
NCT05061004
The objective of this study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and effectiveness of the Cephea Mitral Valve System for the treatment of symptomatic patients with mitral valve disease (including mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis and mixed mitral valve disease) in whom transcatheter therapy is deemed more appropriate than open heart surgery.
NCT06798311
The study is designed to address the disparity in available conservative/behavioral treatments for UI/LUTS. The program was developed by experts from urogynecology, psychology, and physical therapy then modified based on focus group feedback from racially minoritized women. The study team created a patient-centered, culturally adapted, self-directed, 8-week, home-based module for women with LUTS/UI. The SUPPORT program combines multiple evidence-based conservative treatments for LUTS/UI including cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral modifications, and home physical therapy exercise. Progression through the home-based program is supported by research staff. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the SUPPORT program and its impact on patient-centered treatment outcomes, while enabling comparisons across race and ethnicity. This approach will provide a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively deliver self-management strategies for pelvic floor disorders. At the start of the 8 week SUPPORT course participants will also be given access to a custom programmed GPT trained on the SUPPORT workbook and given instructions on empathetic communication techniques and assisting patients in performing the SUPPORT exercises as outlined in the program. At the end of 8 weeks patients will fill out a survey assessing the frequency of use and interactions with the LLM.

Phase 1b was designed to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and is followed by an ongoing phase 2 evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in participants with active brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.
NCT05703269
This study is designed to see if we can lower the chance of side effects from radiation in patients with breast, kidney, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma that has spread to the brain and who are also being treated with immunotherapy, specifically immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. This study will compare the usual care treatment of single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) given on one day versus fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS), which is a lower dose of radiation given over a few days to determine if FSRS is better or worse at reducing side effects than usual care treatment.
NCT06450197
This is a randomised, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled Phase IIa study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD7798 in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease.
NCT07379684
The goal of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to learn about the safety profile of Amicidin-β topical solution applied directly into infected surgical or traumatic wounds during a surgical procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is Amicidin-β topical solution safe to test in larger clinical trials? 2. Is Amicidin-β topical solution absorbed into the bloodstream from local wound application? 3. Is Amicidin-β topical solution easy for the surgeon to use? Participants will receive either standard of care alone, or standard of care with intrawound Amicidin-β topical solution for the management of their wound infection. Researchers will compare these two groups (standard of care alone to standard of care with Amicidin-β topical solution) to see if there are any study drug-related adverse effects.
NCT07516964
Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney condition that mainly affects children and is characterized by high levels of protein in the urine, low levels of protein in the blood, and swelling. While many children respond well to steroid treatment, a large proportion experience relapses or become dependent on therapy. In some cases, the disease does not respond to standard treatments and may progress to chronic kidney disease. Recent research suggests that, in addition to genetic factors, immune system mechanisms may play a key role in the development and progression of nephrotic syndrome. In particular, some patients produce autoantibodies against nephrin, an essential protein of the kidney filtration barrier. These autoantibodies may be associated with disease activity and treatment response. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of anti-nephrin autoantibodies in children with nephrotic syndrome and to better understand their role in disease mechanisms and clinical outcomes.The study will also explore the presence of other autoantibodies targeting components of the glomerular filtration barrier. The study will use advanced laboratory techniques, including blood tests and detailed analysis of kidney biopsy samples, to identify these antibodies and their relationship with kidney structure and function. By integrating laboratory findings with clinical data, this study aims to improve the understanding of nephrotic syndrome and support the development of more personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing unnecessary or ineffective treatments.
NCT06872684

NCT04128189
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how well the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) works and how safe it is in adults with kidney failure who are waiting for a kidney transplant, including those who later receive a transplant. The study also aims to find out whether giving an extra (third) dose of the vaccine after transplant improves protection. The main questions it aims to answer are: How strong is the body's immune response to the vaccine at different time points (about 1 month, 2 years, and 3 years after vaccination) in people waiting for a kidney transplant? Does a third dose of the vaccine after transplant improve the immune response compared to not receiving a third dose? How long does protection from the vaccine last before and after transplant? How safe is the vaccine in this group, including whether it affects transplant-related immune markers? Researchers will compare people who receive a third dose of the vaccine after transplant to those who do not receive a third dose, as well as to results from similar groups studied in the past, to see if the extra dose improves immune protection. Participants will: Be screened to see if they can take part in the study Attend about 3 to 6 study visits over approximately 30 to 37 months Receive two doses of the shingles vaccine if they have not already been vaccinated, or complete study assessments if they were vaccinated before joining If they receive a kidney transplant during the study, be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive either a third dose of the vaccine or no additional dose Complete questionnaires, have physical exams if needed, and provide blood (and urine, if applicable) samples at study visits Take part in follow-up visits to check immune response and safety, with the option to allow samples to be stored for future research Shingrix is approved for adults aged 50 and older and for younger adults with weakened immune systems. However, giving a third dose after a kidney transplant is not standard practice and is being studied in this trial.
