NCT03067181
This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumor has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, 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. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.
NCT05235165
This phase III trial compares the effect of open thoracic surgery (thoracotomy) to thoracoscopic surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or VATS) in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastases). Open thoracic surgery is a type of surgery done through a single larger incision (like a large cut) that goes between the ribs, opens up the chest, and removes the cancer. Thoracoscopy is a type of chest surgery where the doctor makes several small incisions and uses a small camera to help with removing the cancer. This trial is being done evaluate the two different surgery methods for patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung to find out which is better.
NCT06718413
Shoulder pain is extremely common after stroke and occurs in 30-70% of patients. The pain may begin as early as one week after stroke, although peak onset and severity occurs around four months, and persists into the chronic stage. Chronic post stroke shoulder pain (PSSP) interferes with motor recovery, decreases quality of life, and contributes to depression. PSSP is thought to be caused mainly by damage to the myofascial tissues around the shoulder joint. Interestingly, an MRI study in patients with PSSP showed that the degree of structural damage to the muscles did not correlate with the degree of pain. Thus, the pathophysiology of myofascial dysfunction and pain in PSSP has not been elucidated leading to missed opportunities for early diagnosis and variable success with pain management. The accumulation of hyaluronic acid (HA) in muscle and its fascia can cause myofascial dysfunction. HA is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) consisting of long-chain polymers of disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine and is a chief constituent of the extracellular matrix of muscle. In physiologic quantities, HA functions as a lubricant and a viscoelastic shock absorber, enabling force transmission during contraction and stretch. Reduced joint mobility and spasticity result in focal accumulation and alteration of HA in muscle. This can lead to the development of stiff areas and taut bands, dysfunctional gliding of deep fascia and muscle layers, reduced range of motion (ROM), and pain. However, the association of muscle HA accumulation with PSSP has not been established. The investigators have quantified the concentration of HA in muscle using T1rho (T1ρ) MRI and found that T1ρ relaxation time is increased in post stroke shoulder pain and stiffness. Furthermore, dynamic US imaging using shear strain mapping can quantify dysfunctional gliding of muscle that may generate pain during ROM. Myofascial dysfunction can result in non-painful reduction in ROM (latent PSSP), which may become painful due to episodic overuse injury producing greater shear dysfunction (active PSSP). Hence, shear strain mapping may differentiate between latent versus active PSSP. Thus, quantitative Motor Recovery (MR) and US imaging may serve as useful biomarkers to elucidate the pathophysiology of myofascial dysfunction.
NCT05537220
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal degeneration caused by one of several mistakes in the genetic code. Such mistakes are called mutations. The mutations cause degeneration of rod photoreceptors which are responsible for vision in dim illumination resulting in night blindness. After rod photoreceptors are eliminated, gradual degeneration of cone photoreceptors occurs resulting in gradual constriction of side vision that eventually causes tunnel vision. Oxidative stress contributes to cone degeneration. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduces oxidative stress and in animal models of RP it slowed cone degeneration. In a phase I clinical trial in patients with RP, NAC taken by month for 6 months caused some small improvements in two different vision tests suggesting that long-term administration of NAC might slow cone degeneration in RP. NAC Attack is a clinical trial being conducted at many institutions in the US, Canada, and Europe designed to determine if taking NAC for several years provides benefit in patients with RP.
NCT07153029
The increasing prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) among older adults, coupled with high overdose rates and cognitive impairments associated with opioid use, highlights a critical gap in addiction treatment. Cognitive impairments can persist despite treatment and negatively impact recovery outcomes, yet cognitive screening and interventions are rarely integrated into OUD care. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of remotely delivered, smartphone-based cognitive assessments (administered through NeuroUX web-based software) for older adults (55+) in methadone treatment. The tasks have been "gamified" to make them engaging and brief, which could be appealing to patients. They will complete the tasks for 15 days using the phone provided or their own phone. During days 6-15 of testing, tasks will become incrementally more difficult based on participant performance to assess the feasibility of cognitive training. Cognitive training uses engaging games or tasks to strengthen thinking skills like memory and focus, much like physical exercise strengthens the body. Adherence, acceptability, and usability of the tasks will be assessed. Secondary analyses will explore relationships between task performance and participant characteristics (e.g., baseline cognitive functioning, methadone dose, timing of methadone dose). Findings from this pilot study will provide foundational data for a future grant application to develop and test digital cognitive assessment and training interventions tailored to older adults in addiction treatment. By addressing a critical yet understudied aspect of OUD care this research has the potential to enhance treatment engagement, improve clinical outcomes, and support long-term recovery in the growing older population.
NCT03981289
Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy comprise a group of disorders made up of over 30 mutations which share a common phenotype of progressive weakness of the shoulder and hip girdle muscles. While the individual genetic mutations are rare, as a cohort, LGMDs are one of the four most common muscular dystrophies. The overall goal of project 1 is to define the key phenotypes as measured by standard clinical outcome assessments (COAs) for limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) to hasten therapeutic development.
NCT05891171

NCT07213830
The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate dosage, safety and effectiveness of a new drug, IPN01203, in adults with advanced solid tumours. Advanced solid tumours are cancers that can occur in various organs or tissues and have spread from their original site to nearby tissues or other parts of the body. There will be two parts to this study: * Phase Ia: This part (called dose escalation) will find the dose range that shows activity against the tumour and can be tolerated by participants by testing different increasing doses of IPN01203. * Phase Ib: This part (called dose optimisation) will assess the ability of the drug to prevent, slow down, or stop the growth of tumours and how the body processes and responds to the drug when given in "low dose" or "high dose." It will also further explore the safety and tolerability. An additional part (phase II) may be added to the study based on the results of phase Ia and phase Ib. Each part will consist of the following periods: * A screening period (up to 28 days) to assess whether the participant can take part, requiring at least 1 visit to the study centre. * A treatment period where all eligible participants will receive IPN01203. Requires approximately 15 visits for the first 2 months followed by 3 visits every month from month 3 until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, upon participant's withdrawal of consent, investigator decision, or study termination by the sponsor, whichever occurs first. There will also be one visit at the end of treatment (EoT), 30 days after the last administration of the study intervention or prior to the start of new anticancer treatment, whichever is earlier. Additionally, there will be one visit (the safety follow-up visit) 90 days after the last administration of study intervention or prior to the start of new anticancer treatment, whichever is earlier. In both parts of the study, participants will undergo blood sampling, urine collection, physical examinations and clinical evaluations. They may continue some other medications, but the details need to be recorded. Each participant will be in this study until death or withdrawal from the study. IPN01203 will be provided to participants who tolerate it for as long as their disease does not progress. Participants may withdraw consent to participate at any time.
