Sep 30th, 2022 - During the first 26 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive TransCon PTH and one group will receive placebo. All subjects will start with a fixed dose of study drug and will be individually and progressively titrated to an optimal dose over a 10 week period, followed by an individualized dosing period up to 16 weeks. TransCon PTH o...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Study RIN-PF-301 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled treprostinil in subjects with IPF over a 52-week period. Subjects will be randomly allocated 1:1 to receive inhaled treprostinil or placebo. All subjects will initiate inhaled treprostinil or placebo at a dose of 3 breaths administered 4 times daily (QID) and will...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Patients with chronic heart failure are encouraged to self-manage their illness, such as adhering to medical regimens, monitoring symptoms and adhere to lifestyle recommendations from the health care provider to optimise health outcomes and quality of life. Consented study participants meeting the eligibility criteria for the STABILISE HF study will be using the the "SanaCoach heart failure" du...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The lumbar square block is an interfascial block of the posterior wall of the abdomen, initially described for the management of postoperative pain in abdominal surgery due to its suggested effect on the T7-11 roots. The analgesic efficacy of type 1 lumbar square block (QL1) in hip surgery was subsequently published. Regarding chronic pain, QL2 has been successfully performed in posttherniorrha...

Sep 30th, 2022 - This study will test the hypothesis that supplemental synchronous video visits and supplemental asynchronous remote monitoring can each significantly improve glycemic control for pediatric patients with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes over a 6 month period, and will compare health outcomes and patient-centered outcomes between these two intervention arms and a control arm receiving usual care.

Sep 30th, 2022 - The clinical evaluations will be based on standard, functional and pain parameters Harris Hip Score pre-operatively, and at 6 months, 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 years post-operatively. Postal Oxford questionnaire preoperatively, and yearly thereafter. The objective of this study is to analyse the clinical and radiographic responses and the complication rates for patients undergoing primary total hip arth...

Sep 30th, 2022 - This is a randomized open-label phase II trial comparing paclitaxel/margetuximab/pertuzumab (TMP) to paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (THP) in patients with anatomic stage II-III HER2 positive breast cancer. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including laboratory evaluations, two mandatory research biopsies and follow up visits. Participants wil...

Sep 30th, 2022 - To determine the minimum scan duration for fluorine-18 positron-emitting radioactive isotope-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans performed on a total-body PET/CT scanner that results in non-inferior image quality to 18F-FDG PET/CT scans performed on a conventional PET/CT scanner. The subject population will be patients being staged for ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - In the pervious study, the investigators demonstrated that 4 weeks of training using both high FIO2 and high flow through an HFNC significantly improved the 6MWD compared with training using a 6 L/min nasal cannula. However, it was unclear whether the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation under HFNC were due to high FIO2, high flow rate, or a synergistic effect. It is also unknown whether there a...
