NCT06484114
Fractyl is evaluating Revita Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) in the REMAIN-1 pivotal study, which is designed to include two cohorts - an open label cohort referred to as REVEAL-1, and a randomized cohort, which includes both a midpoint analysis and a pivotal analysis. Patients who previously lost at least 15% of their body weight on a GLP-1 can qualify for the open label REVEAL-1 cohort. The data generated from the REVEAL-1 cohort will be used for open label reporting as the study progresses. The REMAIN-1 randomized cohort will enroll patients living with obesity and a body mass index ("BMI") between 30 and 45 kg/m2 who are not currently on a GLP-1 drug. Patients will be prescribed tirzepatide and titrated to achieve at least 15% total body weight loss, at which time tirzepatide will be discontinued and patients will be randomized to Revita versus sham at 2:1. Midpoint Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The midpoint analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed at three months of follow-up on approximately 45 patients, allowing us to assess and report on safety and efficacy signals that could be anticipated in the pivotal analysis. These patients are distinct from those included in the pivotal analysis. Pivotal Analysis of Randomized Cohort: The pivotal analysis of the randomized cohort will be performed on approximately 315 patients (distinct from those included in the midpoint analysis) and will evaluate safety and efficacy in the first co-primary endpoint, which is weight regain from the time of tirzepatide discontinuation in Revita DMR versus sham patients at six months, with a primary objective of demonstrating a benefit of Revita DMR versus sham for weight maintenance after GLP-1 discontinuation. The second co-primary endpoint evaluates a responder rate among the Revita DMR treated group at one year to demonstrate the durability of the Revita DMR procedure for weight maintenance after discontinuation of a GLP-1-based therapy. Secondary objectives will include evaluation of the effectiveness of the Revita DMR procedure on the change in blood glucose levels, cardiovascular disease ("CVD") risk factors, body composition and pre-diabetes status. All patients enrolled in the study will receive diet and lifestyle counseling.
NCT07430384
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the effects of a six-week eye-movement exercise program on balance in athletes aged 15 to 30 years participating in basketball, football, and boxing. The main question it aims to answer whether performing daily exercises based on a standardized protocol improves balance and functional interaction among the oculomotor, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. Participants will perform six different exercises daily for 10 minutes over six weeks. During the first four weeks, exercises are performed on both legs, while in the last two weeks, exercises are performed on the dominant leg on a 10 mm rubber mat to increase vestibular challenge and stimulate functional integration among the sensory systems. Balance will be assessed using the Leonardo system and the Stork test (s), focusing on single-leg stance on the dominant leg with eyes open during the last two weeks of training. Reaction time will also be evaluated as a secondary outcome to provide additional insight into sensorimotor performance. All participants provided informed consent, and for those under 18 years of age, parental consent was obtained. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Sports of Tirana.
NCT07445126
This study aims to compare two commonly used regional anesthesia techniques for shoulder arthroscopy: the ultrasound-guided interscalene block and the combined interscalene-suprascapular nerve block. Both techniques are routinely performed to reduce pain during and after shoulder surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine which method provides better postoperative pain control, reduces the need for pain medication, and causes fewer side effects such as diaphragmatic dysfunction. Participants will receive one of the two nerve block techniques before surgery, and their pain scores, opioid consumption, and respiratory effects will be monitored during the first 24 hours after the operation.
NCT07447323
This study looks at people who have osteoarthritis at the base of the thumb. It examines how well the thumb can sense its position and movement. The study has three goals: 1. To compare these measurements between people with thumb base osteoarthritis and healthy people. 2. To find out whether this ability changes from milder to more advanced levels of osteoarthritis. 3. To explore whether this ability is related to factors such as basic personal characteristics, thumb/hand muscle strength and hand use, pain and touch sensation, and emotional factors like fear of movement, anxiety, and depression. This is an observational study. No treatment is given. Participants complete thumb measurements and several tests/questionnaires.
NCT07445750
COPD: A Leading Cause of Respiratory Disability COPD, primarily linked to smoking, affects 3.5 million people in France and causes 15,000 deaths each year. It is a major source of disability, particularly due to dyspnoea, which affects one in three patients. Around 400,000 patients are registered under long-term conditions (ALD), and 200,000 receive home-based respiratory support. The most severe cases fall under the category of chronic respiratory failure-a term also applicable to other respiratory or neuromuscular diseases. Walking Exposes Physical Limitations In patients with respiratory failure, walking rapidly induces disabling dyspnoea, as it may represent their maximal effort. This severely limits autonomy and quality of life. To improve exercise tolerance, clinicians rely on pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise reconditioning, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy). When these measures are insufficient, mobility aids such as scooters or electric scooters may help, although they have limitations (cost, bulkiness, muscular deconditioning). The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT): A Key Tool The 6MWT is a standardised test that assesses walking distance, dyspnoea, heart rate, and oxygenation. It is used to evaluate the severity and prognosis of respiratory failure and to measure response to treatment. It is integrated into prognostic indices and criteria for assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The only non-standardised parameter remains the type of footwear worn. Research Hypothesis Some so-called "active" sports shoes enhance walking by design-through cushioning, rocker soles, and rigid inserts-which store and return impact energy to assist propulsion. We hypothesise that wearing such shoes could improve walking performance in COPD patients, as reflected by a greater distance on the 6MWT. If confirmed, this simple and low-cost solution could meaningfully improve the daily lives of many patients.
NCT07441538
What is this study about? You are being invited to participate in a clinical research study because you are scheduled to undergo a facial skin surgery for your health condition. Your surgeon will perform your operation independently, and your standard surgical procedure and follow-up visits will not be changed in any way by this study. The purpose of this research is to understand which postoperative care method is more beneficial for facial wound healing and for reducing scar formation. We aim to compare two common approaches for caring for the wound after surgery. Your participation will help doctors choose better care plans for future patients. What will happen in this study? If you agree to participate, you will be randomly assigned (like drawing lots) to one of two groups: Group A (Early Exposure Group): About 6 hours after your surgery, the doctor will remove the sterile gauze covering your wound. After this, you will need to keep the wound area clean and dry, and you will not use a gauze dressing to cover it. Group B (Continuous Coverage Group): After surgery, your wound will continue to be covered with sterile gauze. The doctor or nurse will change the dressing for you regularly until the sutures are removed around 7 days after surgery, or until it is decided to stop based on how the wound is healing. What will I need to do differently? Apart from the assigned wound care method described above, participating in this study involves only the following additions to your regular care: Before Surgery: You will be asked to fill out a simple questionnaire about your skin and undergo a quick, non-invasive skin measurement. During Follow-up Visits: You will be asked to fill out questionnaires and allow the study doctor to take photographs of your surgical area. These photos will be used only for analysis and record-keeping in this study. Your total time commitment for these extra activities is minimal. Participation is entirely voluntary, and your decision will not affect the quality of your medical care. Key Information: Your surgeon decides your operation. This study only involves postoperative wound care. Random Assignment: You cannot choose your group; it is decided randomly by a computer. Privacy: Your personal information and study data (including photos) will be kept strictly confidential and used only for this research. Potential Benefit: You may not benefit directly, but your participation will contribute to medical knowledge. Potential Risks: The risks are considered minimal and are similar to those of standard wound care. The study doctor will monitor your healing closely. You will receive a detailed informed consent form with more information. Please discuss any questions you have with the research team before deciding.

NCT04605549
This is a multicenter, open-label study in adult patients with PA to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CIN-107 after up to 12 weeks of treatment (Part 1), and then for eligible, consenting patients follow patients in Part 2 for up to 74 weeks for evidence of long-term safety and tolerability.
NCT05962489
Sleep-wake disturbances are a major factor associated with reduced quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurological disorder affecting millions of people in the U.S and worldwide. The brain mechanisms underlying these sleep disorders, and the effects of therapeutic interventions such as deep brain stimulation on sleep-related neuronal activity and sleep behavior, are not well understood. Results from this study will provide a better understanding of the brain circuitry involved in disordered sleep in PD and inform the development of targeted therapeutic interventions to treat sleep disorders in people with neurodegenerative disease.

NCT07447466
Introduction. Pregnancy-induced biomechanical alterations frequently precipitate lumbopelvic mobility restrictions, contributing to musculoskeletal dysfunction and compromised maternal quality of life. This investigation evaluated whether a structured therapeutic exercise rehabilitation protocol could counteract gestational mobility decline and enhance lumbopelvic range of motion in second-trimester pregnant women through targeted neuromuscular conditioning. Methods. A randomized controlled trial enrolled 50 pregnant women (gestational age mean±standard deviation (range): 22±5 (14 -31) weeks) allocated to experimental (n=25) or control (n=25) groups. The experimental group completed a six-week progressive resistance exercise rehabilitation program (36 supervised sessions) targeting lumbopelvic stabilizers, paraspinal musculature, and hip girdle complexes. Primary outcomes comprised eight goniometrically assessed range of motion parameters across sagittal (ie.; lumbar flexion and extension), frontal (ie.; lumbar right and left lateral flexion), and transverse (ie.; right and left axial rotation) anatomical planes, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt. Secondary outcomes comprised back and pelvic pain. All outcomes were measured at baseline, midintervention (week 3), and postintervention (week 6). Percentage changes between postintervention and baseline were calculated.
NCT05141682
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of oral azacitidine in treating patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
NCT06315296
This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of an interactive time-restricted diet intervention (txt4fasting) in reducing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Lung cancer and breast cancer are the two most frequent causes of brain metastases. The diagnosis of brain metastases is associated with poorer survival and tumor-induced and treatment-related side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. Patients who receive stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases may experience less neurocognitive side effects than with other types of brain radiation, but may still be at risk for their brain metastases growing, spreading, or getting worse. Patients with obesity and diabetes have been shown to have worse survival and increased radiation-related side effects. Evidence demonstrates that simply changing meal timing can have a positive impact on multiple health outcomes. Time-restricted eating, or prolonged nighttime fasting, has been proven to have positive effects on heart disease risk reduction, weight control management and chemotherapy side effect reduction. Txt4fasting may be effective in decreasing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes in patients undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases from breast or lung cancer.
