Sep 30th, 2022 - Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 3,500 individuals and is associated with a broad variety of symptoms and physical findings. Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are histologically benign tumors which occur in 25-50% of patients with NF1 and can lead to significant morbidity. Oral therapeutic options for the treatment of plexiform neurofib...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The overarching goal of this study is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the biology and therapeutic potential of sodium-free chloride supplementation. While sodium homeostasis has been the focus of substantial investigation, very little research has been devoted to understanding chloride homeostasis. Thus, this proposal is designed to obtain the full spectrum of information pertaining...

Sep 30th, 2022 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax, ponatinib, and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoid blastic phase (BP)-chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). (Phase I) II. To determine the efficacy of the regimen, as defined by the rate of complete remission (CR) or CR with ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The registry intends to provide real world data on patient management and quality of care for patients with T2DM, heat failure and chronic kidney disease in clinical practice in many countries. To bridge this gap an observational voluntary registry is set up to capture real world data on patient characteristics, disease management, healthcare utilization, and outcomes in patients with type 2 di...

Sep 30th, 2022 - PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the therapeutic efficacy (as measured by response rate) of abatacept + ixazomib citrate (ixazomib) + dexamethasone in multiple myeloma patients who have relapsed (or who are primary refractory) following treatment with their first proteasome inhibitor-containing regimen (excluding ixazomib), compared to historical controls of ixazomib + dexamethasone. SECONDA...

Sep 30th, 2022 - This is a non-randomized, non-inferiority trial that has been created to compare results of achalasia procedures including but not limited to: POEM + Partial Fundoplication (PF), POEM and Laparoscopic Modified Heller Myotomy + PF and POEM + Peroral Plication of the esophagus. Using a set of consistent evaluation tools for patients undergoing treatment for achalasia allows a standardized evaluat...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The digestion of food by human body starts from oral cavity and continues until its excreted as faeces. There are different factors affecting this process. Important factors are movement through the GI Tract, breakdown of food material and absorption by the body to produce energy. The unabsorbed waste material is then excreted by the body. Different enzymes are produced by human body which are ...
