## Normal Saline Flushing With And Without Heparin Lock In Maintaining Small Bore Intercostal Chest Catheter (ICC) Patency - **NCT ID**: NCT06314620 - **Study ID**: FF-2024-043 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-15 - **Completion Date**: 2027-06-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: National University of Malaysia ### Study Description Pleural diseases are among the most common clinical problems encountered in healthcare settings in Malaysia and even worldwide. Most patients presented in a hospital setting with pleural diseases will need pleural aspirations or thoracentesis and chest drains for a variety of reasons. Healthcare providers will often be exposed to patients requiring pleural drainage hence it is important to be aware of safe techniques and procedures of insertion and also maintaining the pleural drainage systems to yield beneficial results.Most often, smaller catheters were deemed to be less effective in view of slower drainage rates and associated with high risk of blockage. However presently , in tertiary hospital settings small bore intercostal chest catheters (SBICC) have become an alternative to large bore intercostal catheters (LBICC). SBICC has been found to be equally effective, less painful and easily tolerated by patients. Hence, proper maintenance of SBICC should be undertaken to reduce rates of occlusion and to yield most benefits from the pleural aspirations procedures.British Thoracic Society in their latest guidelines recommends the use of small bore intercostal chest drain as the first choice in draining pleural effusions.The success of draining pleural effusions with a SBICC has shown variable rates of success among different studies conducted. Most common issues faced are drain blockage and drain dislodgement.There is limited data comparing the use of normal saline flushing versus fibrinolytic drug lock in maintaining patency of small bore intercostal chest drains in draining pleural effusions. This has lead us in conducting this research to compare the rates of partial or complete occlusions among normal saline flush with and without heparin saline lock in maintaining the patency of small bore intercostal chest catheter among patients with pleural diseases in Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, UKM requiring chest drains insertion. ### Conditions - Pleural Effusion ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Heparin saline lock - Without heparin saline lock ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - To compare the rate (in percentage) of occlusions of intercostal chest catheter in participants underwent normal saline flushing with and without heparin lock **Secondary Outcomes** - To determine the onset of intercostal chest catheter occlusions (in hours) - To determine the change of hemoglobin (in g/dL) post ICC insertion - To determine the change of platelet (in 10 9/L) post ICC insertion - To determine the adverse effects of heparin saline lock - To assess the number of fenestrations occluded (in numbers from 0-5) with fibrin or blood clots ### Location - **Facility**: National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, 53300, Malaysia @@
## Genetic and Molecular Characterization of Nervous System Lesions - **NCT ID**: NCT06314607 - **Study ID**: APHP220498 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-26 - **Completion Date**: 2034-03 - **Lead Sponsor**: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris ### Study Description Primary and secondary brain tumors, the leading cause of death from cancer before the age of 35, represent a complex and heterogeneous group of pathologies with a generally poor prognosis. Knowledge of these tumors has made enormous strides thanks to access to biological samples, leading to a much more robust, reliable and precise histo-pronostic classification, but also, increasingly, to the identification of theranostic targets.Despite these advances, there is a real need to refine diagnostic and prognostic classification, identify the biological mechanisms involved in the formation and progression of these pathologies, develop new targeted strategies, and devise minimally invasive follow-up methods (liquid biopsies).In addition, certain non-tumoral brain lesions (e.g. malformations) can be similarly classified according to their molecular and mutational profile.This project aims to make a decisive contribution to these objectives. ### Conditions - Brain Tumor - Brain Lesion (General) ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Prospective Biological Collection - Retrospective Biological Collection ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Study the clinical markers with the evolution of brain lesions. - Study the biological markers with the evolution of brain lesions. - Study the anatomopathological markers with the evolution of brain lesions. **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Service de Neurochirurgie - Hôpital de la Pitié Salpêtrière, Paris, N/A, 75013, France @@

## Effect of a Multifaceted Educational Intervention on the Implementation of Evidence-based Practices for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in an Emergency Department - **NCT ID**: NCT06314581 - **Study ID**: 673_BPPV-Teaching - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph ### Study Description Acute vertigo accounts for around 4% of emergency room visits. Triggered episodic vestibular syndrome is the most commonly encountered symptomatic context. BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the main cause, representing 40-50% of the vertigo cases assessed in emergency departments. It results from the migration of calcium carbonate particles (otoliths), from the sticky membrane of the utricle and saccule of the inner ear, to one of the 3 semicircular canals (SCC), posterior, horizontal or lateral, and anterior. It occurs idiopathically with head movement, through degeneration, or following head trauma. The otolith impulse causes the endolymph to move, temporarily and aberrantly displacing the cup of the affected canal, resulting in the transmission of erroneous information to the vestibular nuclei. This leads to the sudden onset of vertigo and eye deviation, resulting in transient nystagmus. The location of the displaced otoliths determines the variant of BPPV: BPPV of the posterior semicircular canal is the most common (around 65% of BPPVs), followed by BPPV of the horizontal canal, while BPPV of the anterior canal is rare, as it resolves spontaneously and rapidly. Although a benign condition, BPPV leads 9 times out of 10 to a medical consultation, interruption of daily activities, or sick leave. Untreated, it will usually recur, and can impact on patients' quality of life. ### Conditions - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - accurate BPPV diagnostics **Secondary Outcomes** - therapeutic maneuvers performed - Satisfaction of clinicians who received the educational interventio ### Location - **Facility**: Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph, Paris, N/A, 75014, France @@

## Impact of the sFlt-1/PlGF Ratio on Medical Decision-making and on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes in Women Suspected of Preeclampsia - **NCT ID**: NCT06314555 - **Study ID**: CEROG2023 - **Status**: COMPLETED - **Start Date**: 2019-10-01 - **Completion Date**: 2021-01-27 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne ### Study Description Previous studies demonstrated that Placental Growth Factor (PIGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) produced by trophoblast cells decreases during Preeclampsia, whereas soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), an antiangiogenic factor, increases. The ratio sFlt-1/PlGF has a higher positive predictive value than the isolated measurement. A ratio under 38 exclude risk of imminent preeclampsia and allows to outpatient follow-up with a negative predictive value of 99.3%. A ratio equal or higher than 38 permits to direct high-risk patients towards hospitalization with a positive predictive value of 36.7% of preeclampsia at 4 weeks. These findings suggest that the ratio can be used to select more appropriately women needing hospitalization for suspected preeclampsia. ### Conditions - Preeclampsia Possible ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Blood sample - Vascular-renal sample ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Doctor's medical care decisions on Hospitalization **Secondary Outcomes** - Intensive monitoring - Corticosteroid administration for lung maturation - Birth induction ### Location - **Facility**: Chu Saint Etienne, St Etienne, N/A, 42100, France @@

## First-in-human Study to Examine Safety of a New Peritoneal Dialysis Device (WEAKID) in End-stage Kidney Disease Patients - **NCT ID**: NCT06314503 - **Study ID**: 23-075_CORDIAL_FIH - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-01-22 - **Completion Date**: 2024-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: UMC Utrecht ### Study Description The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to examine the safety and efficacy of treatment with a new peritoneal dialysis (PD) device called WEAKID (WEarable Artificial KIDney for peritoneal dialysis). This device, unlike conventional PD, allows for continuous flow of dialysate inside the abdominal cavity combined with continuous regeneration of spent dialysate thanks to sorbents that remove toxins from the fluid.The study will include PD patients of 18 years or older with a well-functioning peritoneal catheter and no history of a PD-related infection for at least eight weeks prior to enrolment.The main purpose of this study is to assess the (short-term) safety of the WEAKID system in a limited number (n=12) of patients and sessions.Participants will undergo six treatment sessions (of four or eight hours) in total over a period of two weeks, either with or without a sorbent chamber.Participants will be asked to collect urine and dialysate the week before the first treatment and during the treatment days. In addition, blood samples will be collected before and during the treatment weeks in order to compare the effects of conventional PD with that of WEAKID treatment. A peritoneal equilibrium test will also be done before and after the treatment weeks to test the function of the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneal membrane). ### Conditions - Renal Insufficiency, Chronic - Kidney Failure, Chronic - Chronic Kidney Diseases ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - WEAKID ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Serious adverse device effects (SADEs) and device deficiencies (DDs) - Critical changes in blood pressure - Critical changes in heart rate - Critical changes in body temperature - Critical changes in oxygen saturation - Critical changes in plasma potassium - Critical changes in plasma calcium - Critical changes in plasma bicarbonate - Critical changes in intra-abdominal dialysate volume - Critical changes in intra-abdominal pressure **Secondary Outcomes** - Adverse events (AEs) and device deficiencies (DDs) - Number of WEAKID treatments - Duration of WEAKID treatments - Dialysate flow rates during WEAKID treatment - Evolution of blood pressure - Evolution of heart rate - Evolution of body temperature - Evolution of oxygen saturation - Ultrafiltration volume - Peak glucose concentration in the device effluent - Ultrafiltration efficiency - Removal of urea by the WEAKID system - Removal of creatinine by the WEAKID system - Removal of phosphate by the WEAKID system - Removal of potassium by the WEAKID system - Removal of uric acid by the WEAKID system - Removal of beta-2 microglobulin by the WEAKID system - Removal of vitamin B12 by the WEAKID system - Mass transfer area coefficient of urea - Mass transfer area coefficient of creatinine - Mass transfer area coefficient of phosphate - Mass transfer area coefficient of potassium - Mass transfer area coefficient of uric acid - Mass transfer area coefficient of beta-2 microglobulin - Mass transfer area coefficient of vitamin B12 - Plasma clearance of urea - Plasma clearance of creatinine - Plasma clearance of phosphate - Plasma clearance of potassium - Plasma clearance of uric acid - Plasma clearance of beta-2 microglobulin - Plasma clearance of vitamin B12 - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin p-cresyl sulfate - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin p-cresyl glucuronide - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin indole acetic acid - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin kynurenine - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin kynurenic acid - The plasma reduction ratio of the protein-bound uremic toxin hippuric acid - The release of base - Evolution of plasma levels of urea - Evolution of plasma levels of creatinine - Evolution of plasma levels of uric acid - Evolution of plasma levels of beta-2 microglobulin - Evolution of plasma levels of phosphate - Evolution of plasma levels of potassium - Evolution of plasma levels of bicarbonate - Evolution of plasma levels of lactate - Evolution of plasma levels of sodium - Evolution of plasma levels of chloride - Evolution of plasma levels of calcium - Evolution of plasma levels of magnesium - Evolution of plasma levels of glucose - Evolution of plasma levels of lactate dehydrogenase - Evolution of plasma levels of vitamin B12 - Evolution of plasma levels of albumin - Evolution of plasma leucocyte count - Evolution of plasma thrombocyte count - Evolution of plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) - Evolution of plasma levels of bilirubin - Evolution of plasma levels of aspartate transaminase (ASAT) - Evolution of plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) - Evolution of sodium levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of chloride levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of calcium levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of magnesium levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of bicarbonate levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of lactate levels in dialysate effluent - Evolution of pH of dialysate effluent - Total number of device deficiencies and adverse device effects - Evolution of delta intraperitoneal pressure during WEAKID treatment - Patient tolerance (abdominal discomfort) - Evolution of uremic symptoms - Usability ### Location - **Facility**: Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE), Modena, N/A, 41121, Italy @@

## Comparison of Foot Posture, Plantar Pressure, and Postural Balance in Patellofemoral Pain Patients and Healthy Subjects - **NCT ID**: NCT06314360 - **Study ID**: BAP_PFS - **Status**: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION - **Start Date**: 2024-03 - **Completion Date**: 2024-10 - **Lead Sponsor**: Hacettepe University ### Study Description Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFS) is a musculoskeletal problem characterized by pain felt in the front of the knee or behind the patella, commonly affecting individuals in adolescence or young adulthood, especially those engaged in sports such as cycling and running. It is one of the most encountered knee injuries and can have a poor prognosis. The intensity of knee pain increases during functional activities such as stair climbing, squatting, running, and jumping due to the increased patellofemoral joint reaction force.A disturbance in postural stability is observed in individuals with PFS due to pain during functional activities. Studies examining changes in foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural balance in individuals with PFS are quite limited and controversial. Moreover, research that simultaneously investigates these parameters and interprets the results is scarce. Some studies have utilized detailed technical systems such as medical imaging or motion analysis, while practical methods incorporating foot posture and plantar pressure analyses are available and easy to use in clinical settings.There is a lack of literature on the easy assessment and interpretation of plantar pressure, postural balance, and functional activities in individuals with PFS. Within the scope of this project, the plan is to assess plantar pressure, postural balance, and functional activities in individuals with PFS. The aim is to quickly interpret the biomechanical changes occurring in these individuals and guide rehabilitation programs based on the obtained data.The use of practical and fast assessment methods in planning treatments for PFS is crucial for early rehabilitation planning. Practical methods such as foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural balance assessments, which can be used in clinical settings, may provide benefits in shaping rehabilitation goals related to lower extremity alignment in individuals with PFS. The objective of this study is to compare the foot posture, plantar pressure, and postural stability of individuals with PFS with healthy individuals. Additionally, the investigators aim to investigate the relationship between foot posture, plantar pressure parameters, postural balance, and functional level in individuals with PFS. Through these objectives, it will be possible to identify potential parameters that could be effective in rehabilitation processes and contribute to determining treatment programs by revealing biomechanical changes in individuals with PFS. ### Conditions - Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - No intervention. ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Plantar Pressure - Postural Stability - Foot posture - Functionality **Secondary Outcomes** - Pain Assessment - Limb dominance ### Location - **Facility**: Hacettepe University, Ankara, Ankara/Sıhhıye, 06100, Turkey @@

## Adipose Tissue and Symptomatic Gonarthrosis - **NCT ID**: NCT06314191 - **Study ID**: 23-AOIP-02 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-15 - **Completion Date**: 2025-09-15 - **Lead Sponsor**: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice ### Study Description 1. Prevalence of osteoarthritis in France Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common disease, affecting almost 15% of the population. It is responsible for a significant socio-economic cost in connection with the chronic and disabling pain it causes . Gonarthrosis is the most frequently encountered arthritic localization . In a large 2010 meta-analysis, the main risk factors for developing knee OA were shown to be obesity, previous knee trauma, hand OA, female gender and advanced age. Smoking appeared to have a moderate protective effect . The risk of developing gonarthrosis in obese patients is 2.6 times higher than in the general population. Hypercholesterolemia itself is a risk factor for osteoarthritis, as are increased plasma levels of specific fatty acids and lipoproteins Inflammatory mechanism in osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that plasma levels of C-reactive protein, can be used to estimate individual susceptibility to developing osteoarthritis over a lifetime . In osteoarthritis patients, plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 are abnormally high, which appears to contribute to cartilage loss in these subjects .3. Inflammatory mechanism in obesity. Obesity induces systemic and local joint mechanical stresses that increase the risk of developing gonarthrosis in obese or overweight individuals . Beyond the simple mechanical aspect, a body of evidence supports the assertion that obesity is responsible for a systemic inflammatory state, deleterious to joints. 1) Obesity is associated with radiographic and symptomatic osteoarthritis in non-weight-bearing joints, such as the hand In overweight and obese adults, plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are significantly increased .3)Weight loss in obese subjects with osteoarthritis alleviates joint symptoms through reduced mechanical stress but also through reduced production and response of inflammatory products .4. Common inflammatory mechanisms between adipose tissue and obesity. The relationship between adipose tissue and inflammation is complex given the different types of adipose tissue and the action of cells derived from it. Adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ composed of mature and developing adipocytes, as well as fibroblasts, endothelial cells and a wide range of immune cells, namely adipose tissue macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, T cells and B cells. Adipose tissue is recognized as an endocrine organ that secretes a large number of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α) and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin). Communication between adipocytes and immune cells maintains tissue homeostasis. Obesity, however, can upset this balance.Lipid metabolism and joint disorders have been shown to be linked . A high-fat diet may contribute to the development of osteoarthritis .White and brown adipose tissue appear to play a complementary role in the development of osteoarthritis. Increased white adipose tissue in obesity is thought to create a systemic environment of increased inflammation through the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines such as leptin and visfatin, all of which have been associated with osteoarthritis . Locally, white adipocytes in infra patellar adipose tissue are architecturally different in patients without gonarthrosis compared with those with knee osteoarthritis. This difference suggests that adipocyte gene expression is directly influenced by inflammation . In obese individuals, there is elevated IL-6 production in brown adipose tissue . Furthermore, it would appear that brown adipose tissue, unlike white, down-regulates the inflammatory profile of macrophages . ### Conditions - Gonarthrosis - Obesity ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: BASIC_SCIENCE ### Interventions - blood sampling - knee radiography ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - lipolytic activity - lipolysis measurement **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Nice University Hospital, Nice, N/A, 06000, France @@

Tremor usually worsens with age, leading to disability and loss of independence, which has an adverse impact on the quality of life of patients. However, the traditional first-line treatment drugs are neither effective enough nor completely safe for ET patients. Although surgical procedures such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and thalamotomy can be used to better control unilateral limb tremor, many patients are reluctant to choose surgical treatment because it's invasive. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new drugs or non-invasive therapies as a better treatment option for ET.The pathology of the disease is not yet clear, it is generally believed that genetic, aging and environmental factors are related to ET. Hyperactivity of cerebellar function and changes of cerebello-thalamo- cortical (CTC) pathways are currently considered to be the most important pathophysiological mechanisms of ET. Therefore, the cerebellum and cortex may be the best targets for the treatment of tremor.Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) is one of the non-invasive electrophysiological techniques characterized by plexus stimulation, which is similar to low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) but closer to the physiological state of neural activity, and may inhibit the excitability of the stimulated cortex. The stimulation duration is greatly shortened, which is simpler and easier than the low-frequency rTMS of 20-30 minutes. In addition, functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a new non-invasive functional neuroimaging technique. It mainly uses the difference characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in brain tissue for near-infrared light absorption at different wavelengths of 600-900nm. The efficacy, safety, and mechanisms involved in non-invasive stimulation therapy for ET patients are still unclear. There are few studies on the treatment of ET with cTBS, and the sample size is small (the largest sample includes only 23 ET patients). Additionally, there was a lack of exploration on the therapeutic mechanism of cTBS for ET patients. Therefore, the investigators conducted a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cTBS in the treatment of ET patients over both cerebellar and cortical area. ### Conditions - Essential Tremor - Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Tremor assessment using Fahn-Tolosa-Marin (FTM) tremor-rating scales **Secondary Outcomes** - Clinical global impression-improvement (CGI-I) rating scores - Electrophysiological evaluation of cortical excitability and inhibition measured by TMS. ### Location - **Facility**: Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 37 Guo Xue Xiang, Chengdu, Sichuan Province 610041, P.R.

## Evaluation of D-Chiro-Inositol Treatment in Women With Endometriosis - **NCT ID**: NCT06314126 - **Study ID**: ENDO-DCI - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-01-01 - **Completion Date**: 2025-04 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Palermo ### Study Description To date, the treatment for endometriosis is represented by the surgical removal of the lesions. Nonetheless, in the years following surgery, the lesions can recur, often due to excessive estrogen production. To balance estrogen, progestin- or estrogen-progestin-based medications are generally prescribed. On the other hand, progestins and estrogen-progestins act as contraceptives, preventing the onset of a pregnancy. At the same time, these can have side effects that can affect up to 30% of patients. For these and other reasons, some women refuse therapy with progestins or estrogen-progestins, preferring to resort to no treatment.Considering the need to research effective molecules in the prevention of relapses that can maintain fertility and avoid unwanted effects, the research focuses on natural molecules, well tolerated by the body.D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI) is a polyol normally present in human cell membranes, where, from a metabolic point of view, it acts as a second messenger of insulin, while from a hormonal point of view, it exerts an on the biosynthesis of androgens. This effect on steroidogenesis can be attributed to more than one mechanism. In the ovary, DCI stimulates direct testosterone production. Furthermore, it stimulates the accumulation of testosterone by reducing the activity of the aromatase enzyme, responsible for the conversion of androgens into estrogens. Considering the responsiveness of endometriosis to estrogens, and that these constitute a risk factor for recurrences following surgical removal, the use of DCI could be interesting from a clinical point of view.The study plans to verify whether D-Chiro-Inositol dietary supplementation can be effective in reducing systemic estrogen levels in women with endometriosis, thus also reducing the risk of relapses and associated symptoms. ### Conditions - Endometriosis ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - D-Chiro-Inositol - Placebo ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Estradiol **Secondary Outcomes** - Pelvic pain ### Location - **Facility**: "Paolo Giaccone" Hospital, Palermo, N/A, 90127, Italy @@

## A Mobile Application to Improve the Quality of Colonoscopy in Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (PrepColon APP) - **NCT ID**: NCT06314022 - **Study ID**: 22-PI113 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-02 - **Completion Date**: 2025-12-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Hospital del Río Hortega ### Study Description Colonoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and resection of preneoplastic lesions, allowing the prevention of colon cancer. A colonoscopy is more efficient with proper preparation of the colon, as it allows for a higher rate of adenoma detection and cecal intubation. In routine practice, up to 30% of colonoscopies are poorly prepared and 11% of patients do not show up for their appointment. Adenomas not visualized in the initial colonoscopy due to poor preparation reached 68% and the rate of undetected cancers was 66.7%. A proper colon cleanse is conditioned by different factors; among them, failure to comply with the diet and take laxatives poses 5 times the risk of having a deficient colon preparation. The purpose of our study is the design and implementation of an app that facilitates the preparation of colonoscopy and evaluates its impact on compliance with diet and laxative intake. ### Conditions - Colorectal Cancer - Premalignant Colon Lesions ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: SUPPORTIVE_CARE ### Interventions - Mobile application for colonoscopy preparation instructions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Compliance with the diet and intake of laxatives with the use of a mobile application - Evaluate the quality of colon cleansing with mobile application as an experimental factor - Assessment of the usability of the APP - Compliance with the laxative intake with the use of the mobile application **Secondary Outcomes** - Assessment of the difficulty of the preparation instructions - Evaluate colonoscopy quality indicators: - Evaluate attendance at the scheduled colonoscopy appointment - Evaluate colonoscopy quality indicators ### Location - **Facility**: Hospital Universitario Rio Hortega, Valladolid, N/A, 47012, Spain @@

## Applying a Small Procedure Prior to Injection/Vaccination Reduces Pain Experiences in Child Patients - **NCT ID**: NCT06313788 - **Study ID**: EC007-2324 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2025-01-01 - **Completion Date**: 2026-01-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Lingnan University ### Study Description Pain is common among children. Given that children are not as mature and independent in assessing or treating their pain as adults, they are a relatively vulnerable group in terms of pain management and are in need of additional attention. However, there is still insufficient recognition and treatment of pain in children. Taken the procedure of injection/vaccination in children as an example, child patients usually wait for their turn to take the injection from the nurse/doctor, during which anxiety and fear of pain develop. As children are less able to manage their pain than adults, the fear they develop during the waiting time, together with the pain they actually felt after the treatment, can bring negative experiences to them. In this proposed project, the investigators aim to apply a minor procedure prior to a treatment that induces pain (e.g., injection / vaccination) to help managing pediatric pain. ### Conditions - Pediatric Pain ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Possession of a customized placebo analgesic band-aid prior to vaccination or injection ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Pain intensity Rating (rating how much pain participants feel) - Pain intensity Measurement (measure how much pain participants feel) - Pain Threshold (record the first-time participants feel the pain) - Pain unpleasantness (rating how unpleasant participants feel about the pain) **Secondary Outcomes** - Mood (rating the positive and negative emotions of the participants) - State-anxiety (Rating the participants' current anxiety level) - Fear of pain Rating - Magical thinking Rating - Pain Self-Efficacy - Self-efficacy to tackle pain - Expectation of Pain Severity ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@

## Vascular Senescence and Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability - **NCT ID**: NCT06313645 - **Study ID**: B83C22004880006 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-07-01 - **Completion Date**: 2025-12-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Niguarda Hospital ### Study Description Chronological aging significantly contributes to structural and functional alterations in the vasculature, making it a major risk factor for atherosclerotic disease and its acute thrombotic events. DNA damage, including telomeric, non-telomeric, and mitochondrial damage, is recognized as a key initiator of vascular aging and atherogenesis. There is abundant evidence indicating the presence of oxidative DNA lesions, telomere erosion, and mitochondrial DNA damage in both experimental and human plaques, as well as in the peripheral cells of atherosclerotic patients.It is increasingly evident that genomic instability activates signaling pathways that lead to a multitude of pathophysiological cellular and molecular changes. These changes promote inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and ultimately, cellular senescence, accompanied by the "senescence-associated secretory phenotype" (SASP). However, the precise mechanisms linking the DNA damage response (DDR) to senescence, SASP in vascular cells, and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and vulnerable atheroma are yet to be fully understood. Additional research is needed to delineate the underlying mechanisms through which mitochondrial dysfunction influences telomere length and vice versa, and how their interaction contributes to the vascular aging process. Progress in this area has the potential to uncover therapeutic targets and novel, more precise diagnostic, and prognostic indicators.The objectives of the VICTORIA study are to examine the levels of aging-related non-coding RNA deregulation (specifically lncRNA TERRA and mitomiR) and peripheral markers of cell aging (including telomere length and mitochondrial DNA content) across the various spectra of angina pectoris (stable angina, unstable angina, NSTEMI, and STEMI). Additionally, the study aims to determine whether these markers are correlated with vulnerable plaque characteristics and major adverse cardiovascular events. ### Conditions - Coronary Artery Disease ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Several biomarkers ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Telomere length **Secondary Outcomes** - Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) - MitomiR - Long non-coding (lnc) RNA TERRA - pro-oxidant cytokines ### Location - **Facility**: ASST GOM Niguarda, Milano, Lombardia, 20162, Italy @@

## Decreasing Irrational Antimicrobial Use in Bangladesh: A Digital Intervention Program - **NCT ID**: NCT06313619 - **Study ID**: BSMMU/20236831 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-10-23 - **Completion Date**: 2024-03-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh ### Study Description The misuse, irrational, or overuse of antibiotics, antibiotic/antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human health. Even though the awareness of the potential threat from AMR is widespread, studies and monitoring programs describing the present situation are lacking. The presence of a 'pluralistic' health system and a large informal sector involving unqualified drug dispenser/providers/practitioners in Bangladesh is a matter of grave concern for the rising antimicrobial resistance situation in the country. An estimated 63% of antibiotic prescriptions are from unqualified providers. Besides, misconception about antibiotics is very common in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the use of antibiotics in animal food production with insufficient veterinary supervision for therapeutic purposes which poses the risk of antimicrobial resistance transmission in the food chain. Without adherence to national regulations, unnecessary and inappropriate prescriptions become common practice, particularly in rural areas. Domestic drug industries contribute to easily accessible and affordable drugs. To tackle this problem, prescriptions and sales of antibiotics need to be regulated and integrated in a national HMIS. Awareness programs for antibiotic providers that promote understanding of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance through tailored interventions may be helpful in changing current antibiotic sales practices. Therefore, this study will attempt to identify the underlying causes of irrational anti-microbial usage in Bangladesh, which were grouped into four interlinked areas - lack of awareness among patients/ consumers (demand side), perverse incentives and lack of knowledge among providers (supply side), poorly regulated pharmaceutical marketing and retail sales (regulatory side) and lack of data and research evidence to support awareness raising and policymaking (enabler).A before-after designed quasi experimental study will be conducted in urban areas. Data will be collected in both qualitative and quantitative methods. Multi-cluster sampling method will be used to select study locations. Pharmacists or drug sellers and patients aged more than 18 years and located within selected intervention areas will be our target population. A baseline survey will be conducted among the pharmacy volunteers to evaluate their knowledge, perception, and practice of rational use of anti-microbials prior to any intervention. Additionally, a household survey will be conducted among community members applying systematic random sampling where one adult from every selected household will be approached maintaining gender equality. After collecting the baseline data, intervention will be given to the community people through awareness building campaign and distributing leaflets and posters on rational use of anti-microbials. After three months, a follow-up survey will be conducted among the same participants with the same questionnaire. For quantitative portion of the study, all the medicine shops in the selected study areas will be included in the study sample alongside a total of anticipated 6240 community dwellers. For qualitative part, the sample will be selected purposively until data saturation and a total of 20 experts will be interviewed. Two sets of questionnaires for pharmacy volunteers and the community dwellers will be prepared based on literature review that will include health literacy questions regarding anti-microbial use. The questionnaire for the follow-up data collection will include some additional questions regarding acceptability, adoption, feasibility, and cost of the intervention.The study is expected to bring light upon a comprehensive understanding of the current level of knowledge, perception and practice of irrational use of anti-microbials among target population. Furthermore, a digital intervention design will be produced to reduce irrational use of anti-microbials after considering its effectiveness. The wide range of the study findings will aid in assessing the acceptability, adoption, feasibility and cost of the intervention to make recommendations on sustainability and scaling up of the intervention programs. ### Conditions - Resistance Bacterial - Increased Drug Resistance - Drug Resistance, Microbial ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: PREVENTION ### Interventions - SmartAMR ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Irrational usage of anti-microbials - Acceptance rate - Completion rate **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Medicine Shop, Dhaka, N/A, 1212, Bangladesh @@
## Sparking Gut Bacteria Production of Bioactive Xenolipids in Situ - **NCT ID**: NCT06313606 - **Study ID**: 2047436 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-05-31 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of California, Davis ### Study Description Long-chain cyclopropane fatty acids (CpFAs) are microbially-derived lipids (fats), some of which can be found in select foods and appear to be produced naturally in the gut from dietary fatty acid precursors. Some of these lipids appear to have signaling properties in the body's tissues, i.e., to help regulate cardiometabolic health. Thus, increasing the bioavailability of CpFAs in humans may have utility to improve management of blood sugar and blood lipids, or to mitigate or prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study is a proof-of-principle experiment in 10 subjects, to feed dietary fats thought to enhance upper gut CpFA production. The latter will be monitored through post-meal blood and urine CpFA concentration measurements, as well as concentration in the stool. ### Conditions - Dietary Fat Metabolism ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: BASIC_SCIENCE ### Interventions - Dietary fat positive control - Dietary fat negative control ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Cyclopropane fatty acid metabolite concentrations in blood, urine, and stool **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: University of California, Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, California, 95817, United States @@

## Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Arm Bike for Cardiovascular Recovery in SCI - **NCT ID**: NCT06313515 - **Study ID**: STUDY00019529 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-04-01 - **Completion Date**: 2027-02-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: University of Washington ### Study Description Spinal cord injury (SCI) can make it hard for the body to self-regulate some of its automatic functions like blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate. This can also make it hard for those living with SCI to exercise or complete their usual daily activities. The goal of this randomized trial is to test combinatory therapy of moderate arm-crank exercise paired with non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) for cardiovascular recovery in adults aged 21-65 following chronic motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the thoracic sixth spinal segment (≥T6).The main questions the study aims to answer are:* Conduct tSCS mapping to determine the most effective location and stimulation intensity for BP control in individuals with motor-complete SCI ≥ T6.* Evaluate the effects 8 weeks of targeted tSCS paired with arm-crank exercise compared to sham stimulation with exercise on improving cardiovascular function in individuals with motor-complete SCI ≥T6.* Evaluate the dosage-response of 8 weeks vs. 16 weeks of targeted tSCS paired with arm-crank exercise on cardiovascular function in individuals with motor-complete SCI ≥T6.* Explore the mechanisms involved in cardiovascular recovery with long-term tSCS paired with arm-crank exercise.Participants will:* Receive either transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation or "sham" spinal cord stimulation while exercising on an arm-crank bicycle in the first 8 weeks.* Come in for approximately 60 visits over a 6-month period. This includes 2, 8-week periods where the investigators will ask participants to come in 3x per week for spinal cord stimulation and exercise.* During assessment visits the researchers will perform a variety of exams including a neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, physical, and autonomic exam, and will ask questions about quality of life and functioning.Researchers will compare those who receive tSCS and do moderate arm-crank exercise to those who receive a sham stimulation and do moderate arm-crank exercise to see if tSCS is effective at improving cardiovascular and autonomic functioning in those with SCI. ### Conditions - Spinal Cord Injuries ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: PARALLEL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation - Arm-crank bike exercise - Sham Stimulation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Change in systolic Blood Pressure (BP) from baseline. - Change in systolic Blood Pressure during a sit-up test or head-up tilt test. - Heart rate variability recorded by electrocardiogram (ECG). **Secondary Outcomes** - Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) - Autonomic dysfunction following Spinal Cord Injury (ADFSCI) measure - International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury - International Standards to document remaining Autonomic Function after Spinal Cord Injury (ISAFSCI) - Blood Pressure variability - Change from baseline- Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensation, and Prehension version 2 - Change from baseline- Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test - International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Dataset version 2.0 - International Spinal Cord Injury Lower Urinary Tract Function Dataset - International Spinal Cord Injury Bowel Function Dataset ### Location - **Facility**: University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, 98195, United States @@

## Rupture of Thumb's Long Extensor Tendon After Fracture of the Distal Radius, Study of Muscle and Tendon Pathology - **NCT ID**: NCT06313489 - **Study ID**: 282151 - **Status**: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-02-01 - **Completion Date**: 2024-06-30 - **Lead Sponsor**: Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden ### Study Description Fractures of the wrist (fractures of the distal radius) are one of the most common fractures with almost 60 000 injuries per year in Sweden. One known complication following these fractures is that the long extensor tendon of the thumb ruptures (extensor pollicis longus tendon, EPL tendon). This leads to disability to stretch the thumb in order to grip bigger objects. Earlier studies show that the tendon ruptures in about 3-5% of all wrist fractures. These ruptures occur some weeks to months after the fracture.There are different theories about the cause of the rupture. One theory is that the fracture creates a bleeding in the tight area that the tendon lies, leading to high pressure and therefore low blood supply to the tendon. Another theory is that the tendon comes in contact with some sharp bonny fragments in this area that injures the tendon when it moves.Such tendon ruptures need almost always some type of surgical intervention in order to reconstruct the function of the thumb. A common problem is that the quality of the tendon is insufficient for just suturing it. Another problem is that the muscle becomes stiff after the rupture. However, there is no objective method to determine how stiff the muscle is.The most common treatment option is the transfer of one of the two extensor tendons of the index finger to the thumb, a so-called extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus transfer. The motivation behind this operation is that the muscle of EPL is so stiff that cannot be used to lift the thumb. However, there is no consensus about the time period after which the EPL muscle can be used to reconstruct the function of thumb.The study aims to investigate the microscopical changes in the muscle and tendon of EPL after such a rupture. Better knowledge of these factors could lead to better understanding of the treatment options.The investigators plan to include in the study all patients that would get operated for an EPL tendon rupture after a fracture of the distal radius at the institution the study is conducted. After oral and written information to the patient and written consent the investigators will take some samples from the ruptured tendon and muscle for microscopical analysis. ### Conditions - Distal Radius Fractures - Tendon Injury - Hand - Pathology ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Biopsy of EPL tendon and muscle during the operation ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Histopathological analysis of the EPL muscle **Secondary Outcomes** - Histopathological analysis of the EPL tendon ### Location - **Facility**: Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, 43180, Sweden @@

## De-escalated Radiotherapy for Primary Tumor After Neoadjuvant Therapy With Toripalimab Plus Chemotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma - **NCT ID**: NCT06313450 - **Study ID**: B2023-110-X02 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03-04 - **Completion Date**: 2028-02-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Sun Yat-sen University ### Study Description In the IMRT era, patients with stage II-III (AJCC8th) nasopharyngeal carcinoma achieve high local control. However, survivors are increasingly experiencing late radiation-induced toxicities. A previous study found that reducing the radiation dose to the primary site to 60Gy for patients who achieved partial or complete response to induction chemotherapy resulted in a lower rate of late toxicities and an inferior local control rate. The investigators aim to reduce the radiation dose to the primary site for patients after immunochemotherapy, given the potential of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy to increase response rates and long-term survival. The protocol includes participants with stage II-III (AJCC8th), except T2N0M0, to receive three courses of neoadjuvant gemcitabine plus cisplatin and Toripalimab. If the primary tumour regresses by over 75%, de-escalated radiotherapy with 60Gy will be administered, and participants will receive two cycles of cisplatin and three cycles of Toripalimab during the radiotherapy course. Otherwise, participants will receive conventional radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin for two cycles as usual. The aim of this study is to investigate the 3-year local control rate and toxicities of de-escalated radiotherapy. ### Conditions - Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma - Radiotherapy; Complications - IMMUNOTHERAPY ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NON_RANDOMIZED - **Intervention Model**: SEQUENTIAL - **Primary Purpose**: TREATMENT ### Interventions - de-escalated radiotherapy - conventional radiotherapy ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - local recurrence rate(LRR) **Secondary Outcomes** - primary tumor volume regression≥75% rate - 3-year overall survival - acute and late radiation-induced toxicities - complete response rate of primary tumor ### Location - **Facility**: Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510060, China @@

## Arthroscopic Treatment of Meniscal Lesions on Healthy Meniscus in Children and Adolescents - **NCT ID**: NCT06313424 - **Study ID**: 9029 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2023-08-29 - **Completion Date**: 2024-04-29 - **Lead Sponsor**: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France ### Study Description Meniscal lesions are common in pediatrics and mainly affect adolescents. These lesions can jeopardize the functional prognosis of the knee in the short, medium or long term if they are not well managed.More precisely, it is a question of determining whether arthroscopic repair of isolated meniscal lesions in children gives good results and what factors influence them, with the aim of improving the care of children suffering from meniscal lesions.The treatment of meniscal lesions comes down to either conservative or restorative treatment or non-conservative treatment by meniscectomy. For most authors, the treatment of meniscal lesions must remain restorative through meniscal suture, leaving no room for meniscectomy. The open approach has given way to the arthroscopic approach which, according to the literature, is the gold standard. Meniscal lesions are varied and therefore there are numerous therapeutic procedures. Therapeutic indications are precise but the results of the treatments remain differently assessed depending on the studies; studies evaluating the results of treatment in the pediatric population are few in number.Based on this observation, the present study aims to describe the results of repairs of meniscal lesions in pediatric traumatology. ### Conditions - Knee Injuries ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - description of the results of repairs of meniscal lesions in pediatric traumatology **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Service de Chirurgie Pédiatrique - CHU de Strasbourg - France, Strasbourg, N/A, 67091, France @@
## How do I Perform a Laparoscopic Removal of a Pelvic Retroperitoneal Schwannoma - **NCT ID**: NCT06313411 - **Study ID**: 8778 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2022-11-23 - **Completion Date**: 2024-04 - **Lead Sponsor**: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France ### Study Description Schwannomas are mainly benign tumors, which develop mainly in the skull or in the cervical region. Retroperitoneal location is rare, since it represents between 0.5 and 5% of scwhanomas. The malignant retroperitoneal form is, however, more common than in other locations.Retroperitoneal schwannoma is often discovered during the exploration of unexplained lumbo-pelvic pain, or in the face of compression of nearby organs. Abdominopelvic CT and magnetic resonance imaging are essential to characterize the mass and verify its extension. The precise diagnosis is based on the pathological examination of the part, and complete surgical excision is the standard treatment.Acquiring the surgical techniques and skills necessary to carry out these types of procedures is essential to providing optimal patient care. ### Conditions - Endometriosis Pelvic ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - laparoscopic removal of a retroperitoneal pelvic schwannoma **Secondary Outcomes** ### Location - **Facility**: Service de Gynécologie Obstétrique - CHU de Strasbourg - France, Strasbourg, N/A, 67091, France @@
## Determination of Red Cell Survival in Sickle Cell Disease and Other Hemoglobinopathies Using Biotin Labeling - **NCT ID**: NCT06313398 - **Study ID**: 10001883 - **Status**: RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-05-01 - **Completion Date**: 2029-06-15 - **Lead Sponsor**: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ### Study Description Background:Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder of the blood. SCD causes red blood cells (RBCs) to die early. This can lead to a shortage of healthy cells. SCD and other blood disorders can be managed with drugs or cured with a bone marrow transplant. Researchers want to know how long RBCs survive in people with SCD and other blood disorders before and after treatment compared to those who had a bone marrow transplant.Objective:To learn how long RBCs survive in the body in people with SCD and other blood disorders compared to those whose disease was cured with a bone marrow transplant.Eligibility:People aged 18 years or older with SCD or another inherited blood disorder. People whose SCD or blood disorder was cured with a bone marrow transplant are also needed.Design:Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests.Participants will have about 7 tablespoons of blood drawn. In the lab, this blood will be mixed with a vitamin called biotin. Biotin sticks to the outside of RBCs. This process is called "biotin labeling of RBCs." The next day, the participant s own biotin-labeled RBCs will be returned to their bloodstream.Participants will return regularly to have smaller blood samples (about 2 teaspoons) drawn. These samples will be tested to detect the percentage of cells that have biotin labels. These visits may be every 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or some other interval. Participants will continue this schedule for up to 20 weeks or until biotin can no longer be detected.... ### Conditions - Sickle Cell Disease - Thalassemia - Hemoglobinopathy ### Study Design - **Type**: INTERVENTIONAL - **Allocation**: NA - **Intervention Model**: SINGLE_GROUP - **Primary Purpose**: OTHER ### Interventions - Biotin-labeled red blood cells ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - To determine and compare red blood cell survival, by virtue of the mean number of days of detectable biotin-labeled RBCs, in participants with SCD and/or other hemoglobinopathies. **Secondary Outcomes** - Validate the association of RBC survival with known markers of increased survival. ### Location - **Facility**: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, 20892, United States @@

## Interpreting Respiratory Oscillometry in Adult Asthma and COPD: a Delphi Study - **NCT ID**: NCT06313372 - **Study ID**: CA2085 - **Status**: NOT_YET_RECRUITING - **Start Date**: 2024-03 - **Completion Date**: 2025-01 - **Lead Sponsor**: Scius Healthcare Solutions Pty Ltd ### Study Description This is an international Delphi study to consolidate expert consensus on the use of respiratory oscillometry in the management of adult patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).The primary objective of the Delphi study is to aid the interpretation of respiratory oscillometry in clinical practice amongst adult patients with asthma or COPD. This will be achieved by obtaining expert consensus on:* Which parameters are used in clinical practice for impulse oscillometry (IOS) and for forced oscillation technique (FOT) devices.* What cut-offs can be used for each parameter to guide clinical practice in the management of adult patients with asthma and COPD.This study is based on the Delphi methodology. The Delphi study will comprise of four rounds, one brainstorming round, to formulate the consensus survey, and three rounds to attempt to obtain consensus.In each round a questionnaire comprising of statements and questions regarding respiratory oscillometry will be sent to participants in the Delphi study electronically using SurveyLet, an online survey platform. Participants will respond anonymously to the survey questions, indicating their level of agreement or disagreement with each statement or question. Participants will be given 4 weeks to complete each round of the Delphi study.Questions and statements will be repeated in subsequent rounds until the predefined level of consensus is met or the maximum number of rounds is achieved (limited to a maximum of 3 rounds). Aggregated results for each statement or question, including distribution of results and consensus status, will be provided to participants after each round to facilitate informed decisions in subsequent rounds. ### Conditions - Asthma - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ### Study Design - **Type**: OBSERVATIONAL - **Allocation**: N/A - **Intervention Model**: N/A - **Primary Purpose**: N/A ### Interventions - Respiratory oscillometry ### Outcomes **Primary Outcomes** - Identification of which respiratory oscillometry parameters (resistance, [R5, R20, R5-R20], reactance [X5, delta X5] or reactance area [AX]) are used to guide clinical management of asthma or COPD as determined by expert consensus using a ranking scale. - Identification of cut-off values used for respiratory oscillometry parameters (R5, X5, AX, R5-R20) to define an abnormal test result as determined by expert consensus using a 6-point categorical scale (Agree strongly to Disagree strongly) **Secondary Outcomes** - Identification of cut-off values used for respiratory oscillometry parameters (R5, X5, and AX) to define a bronchodilator response as determined by expert consensus using a 6-point categorical scale (Agree strongly to Disagree strongly) - Identification of cut-off values used for oscillometry parameters (R5, X5, AX, R5-R20) to define a significant clinical change between visits as determined by expert consensus using a 6-point categorical scale (Agree strongly to Disagree strongly) ### Location - **Facility**: N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A @@
