NCT02535312
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of methoxyamine when given together with cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium and to see how well it works in treating patients with solid tumors or mesothelioma that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with standard treatment (advanced), or mesothelioma that does not respond to pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin or carboplatin (refractory). Methoxyamine may shrink the tumor and may also help cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving methoxyamine together with cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium may be a better treatment for solid tumors or mesothelioma than methoxyamine and pemetrexed disodium.

NCT07535853
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-power laser therapy on pain intensity and functional outcomes in patients diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the active laser therapy combined with a physical therapy program or a control group. The study aims to determine if adding laser therapy provides better relief and improves daily physical functions compared to conventional treatment alone.
NCT07535476
Cervical epidural steroid injection is a commonly used treatment option for patients with cervical radicular pain who do not improve adequately with conservative treatment. Cervical radicular pain typically radiates from the neck to the shoulder, arm, or hand and may be accompanied by numbness, weakness or changes in reflexes. The most common causes are cervical disc herniation and cervical spondylosis. By reducing inflammation around the affected nerve root, epidural steroid injection may help relieve pain and improve function. Among available techniques, the interlaminar approach is frequently preferred in the cervical region because of its technical feasibility and safety profile. Although interlaminar cervical epidural steroid injection is widely used, treatment response varies among patients, and not all individuals experience the same degree of benefit. Identifying the factors associated with better or poorer clinical response may help improve patient selection and reduce unnecessary procedures. This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes after interlaminar cervical epidural steroid injection in patients with cervical radiculopathy and to investigate demographic, clinical, and procedure-related variables which may predict treatment response. By analyzing pain scores before and after the procedure, this study seeks to better define the predictors of clinical outcome following this intervention.
NCT07387198
The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, non-comparative phase II trial that investigates the efficacy of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody Cemiplimab treatment in patients with clinical stage I or II Merkel cell carcinoma who have have undergone primary tumour excision and are pending sentinel lymph node biopsy.
NCT01866514

NCT07322263
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, can treat high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HG-NMIBC) in adults whose cancer failed conventional BCG therapy. The drugs are given directly into the bladder (intravesically), one immediately after the other. The study will also assess the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can this drug combination effectively treat HG-NMIBC that did not respond to BCG and help prevent the cancer from coming back, offering long-term protection? What side effects or medical issues do participants experience during treatment? Researchers will evaluate this non-surgical approach as a potential alternative to bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy), with the goal of validating it as a bladder-sparing option in this setting. Participants will: * Go through a screening process, including tumor removal and imaging tests * Receive weekly bladder treatments with Gemcitabine followed by Docetaxel for 6 weeks * If the cancer responds, continue with similar once monthly treatments (maintenance therapy) for up to 2 years * Attend regular check-ups, including bladder exams, urine tests, biopsies, and optional quality-of-life surveys * Possibly receive a second 6-week treatment cycle if the cancer returns early * Be followed for up to 5 years to monitor long-term outcomes
NCT07504640
This randomized, sham-controlled crossover trial aims to evaluate the immediate effects of spinal manipulation on heart rate variability in children with cerebral palsy. Each participant will attend four experimental sessions conducted on separate days. In two sessions, spinal manipulation will be performed, and in two sessions, a sham procedure will be applied. The order of interventions will be randomized for each participant. Heart rate variability will be recorded before and after each intervention.
NCT07532759
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex surgical procedure commonly performed for tumors of the pancreatic head and periampullary region. Many patients present with obstructive jaundice and undergo preoperative percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) to relieve biliary obstruction. However, there is currently no consensus on whether the PTCD catheter should be removed or retained during surgery. This multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trial aims to compare two intraoperative strategies: removal versus retention of the PTCD catheter during PD. Participants will be randomly assigned to either group. The study will evaluate whether these different approaches influence postoperative outcomes, particularly major complications such as bile leak and severe postoperative morbidity within 90 days after surgery. In addition to complications, the study will assess recovery after surgery, including return of gastrointestinal function, length of hospital stay, and quality of recovery, as well as laboratory indicators of liver function and inflammation. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence to guide surgical decision-making regarding PTCD management during PD and to improve patient outcomes.
NCT05602077
X-rays (XR) are today the standard modality for the diagnosis of bone fractures in the lower or upper limbs in the emergency room. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an alternative with some obvious advantages especially in the emergency room setting: It does not require the patient to fix the bone of interest in a stable position, allows observing the bone and joints under movement by the patient, can be performed at bedside, and avoids the exposure to radiation. The advances in ultrasound technology has increased the interest in using POCUS as an alternative to XR in recent years. POCUS is used routinely prior to XR at the ORTHO-NOTFALL of the Merian Iselin Klinik Basel (MIK) in patients with suspicion for an indirect elbow trauma. It is the aim of this project to use this constellation in order to contribute to a systematic comparison of the value of the two modalities with the long-term aim to establish POCUS as the first-line diagnostic tool. As a fist project, the SONOELB study was initiated. This study aims at a comparison of the diagnostic accuracy between XR and POCUS using CT as reference. The project started in October 2022 and aims at enrolling 130 patients until March 2025. The project is financially supported by the Merian Iselin Science Research PLC.
NCT06220448
Type: retrospective observational multicenter trial. Population of interest: adult patients suffering from thoraco-abdominal trauma undergoing both non-operative and operative management. Hypothesis: Adrenal gland injury is a rare finding after blunt thoracoabdominal trauma. Short-term outcomes of blunt adrenal gland injury (BAGI) described in literature are contradictory. Reports on the outcomes related to this injury are variable and consider heterogeneous populations of trauma patients Aim: This study aims to explore the burden related to BAGI in an homogeneous population of patients sustaining blunt thoraco-abdominal trauma treated in different institution
NCT03167203
The purpose of this study is to is to evaluate the occurrence of late onset (i.e., greater than 5 years after treatment) adverse events of special interest (AESI) in participants who have received sub-retinal transplant of human embryonic stem cell derived - retinal pigment epithelial (hESC-RPE) cells in an AIRM-sponsored clinical trial. The events of special interest are adverse events (AEs) that are presumed to have a potential causal relationship to the hESC-RPE cells.
NCT07025512
The purpose of the study is to examine the clinical and biological effects of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in mCRPC patients with cytopenia\[s\].
NCT07201987
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using calcium sulfate beads that contain vancomycin (an antibiotic) and pain-relieving medicines during spine surgery can improve recovery compared to standard care with intravenous (IV) morphine and local pain medicines. Researchers want to know if the sustained release formulation of morphine from these calcium sulfate beads affect: * Postoperative length of stay * Postoperative pain scores * Postoperative narcotic analgesic requirements All participants in this study will already be scheduled to have spine surgery as part of their regular medical care. During surgery, participants will be assigned to receive either intraoperative placement of calcium sulfate beads with vancomycin alone or vancomycin with morphine and bupivacaine. All patients will still have access to standard of care with IV and PO pain regimens. Participants will then be followed after surgery to measure their pain, recovery, and medication use. Participation is voluntary, and choosing not to join will not affect a person's medical care.

NCT07052032
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CND261 in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis.
NCT07533370
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an extended emergence from anesthesia can improve recovery room (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit or PACU) outcomes in lower-leg or foot surgery with nerve blocks. The primary questions it aims to answer are: * Does a longer wake-up help participants think more clearly soon after surgery compared with usual approaches? * Does it lower pain scores, lower the amount of pain medications used, and shorten the time it takes to go home from recovery room? Researchers will compare 2 groups of adults who are having similar lower-extremity orthopaedic surgeries with regional and propofol anesthesia.
