The aim of this study is to look at the long-term safety and clinical parameters of somapacitan in paediatric participants with growth hormone deficiency under routine clinical practice conditions. The study population will include 400 paediatric growth hormone deficient participants from the Global Registry for Novel Therapies in Rare Bone and Endocrine Conditions (GloBE-Reg) treated with once-weekly somapacitan and fulfilling the eligibility criteria of the study. The total duration of the study is planned to 10 years consisting of a 5-year recruitment period in the GLoBE-Reg followed by a 5-year follow-up period.
This study is researching the long-term effects of a combination of experimental drugs called fianlimab and cemiplimab. The study is being conducted in patients with advanced skin cancer (melanoma) who had previously been treated with fianlimab and cemiplimab in the study called R3767-ONC-1613 (NCT03005782). The aim of the current study is to see how safe and effective the study drugs are in a long-term follow-up. No study drug will be given during this study. Cancer status will be monitored, in addition to routine care. The study is also collecting information about general health status, and other treatments that may have been received since participation in study...
This reader study aims at assessing whether the radiologist aided with AI software has at least a non-inferior performance than without AI assistance in detecting brain metastases. 200 retrospective MRI images will be included in the study with 100 positive and 100 negative exams. Assessment will be completed by 12 readers with varying level of experience. This is a Retrospective Multiple-Reader Multiple-Case (MRMC) randomised study.
Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a well-known complication that might occur after transnasal transsphenoidal adenomectomy at an incidence of 0.5-15% according to different literature reports. Persistent CSF leakage may lead to intracranial hypotension or meningitis, therefore aggressive management is mandatory. The treatment is immediate repair during transsphenoidal surgery once intraoperative CSF leakage is identified, with the adjunct of postoperative bed rest and/or lumbar drainage. However, due to the advances in endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery, some surgical teams have advocated that postoperative bed rest may not be necessary if appropriate repair...
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cabergoline (Dostinex), a dopamine agonist which has been widely used to treat hyperprolactinemia, prolactinoma for many years, works to treat nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does cabergoline reduce the size of NFPA effectively when used as primary therapy? Participants will: Be 1:1 randomized into two groups. Either to take cabergoline or none for 48 weeks, Visit the clinic every 12 weeks for checkups and tests, Undergo scheduled imaging studies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to measure the change of tumor size.
People who develop a type of skin cancer known as 'melanoma' are often treated with immunotherapy. The type of immunotherapy used for patients with melanoma is known as Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). While ICI is very successful, it can lead to negative side effects that are known as 'immune related adverse events' (irAEs). These irAEs can affect any part of the body and can range in severity from mild symptoms to death. There has been a lot of research on irAEs that occur during ICI, but less is known about how irAEs can affect people in the long-term. Although irAEs are common from ICI, acute irAEs affecting the heart (cardiac irAEs) are uncommon. However, as they...
Clinical study of a novel oncolytic virus Ad-TD-nsIL12 in the treatment of primary high-grade glioma
A retrospective crosssectional observational study of the effects of oncological treatment and frequent general anesthesia on neuropsychological development, psychosocial functioning (in terms of anxiety, depression, peer relations, perceived cognitive functioning and potential trauma) and health related quality of life in children and young adults who were treated or screened for retinoblastoma.
The main goal of this study is to follow patients with functional adrenal tumors during the time before and after their surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What heart and blood pressure changes do patients with different types of adrenal tumors have before surgery? - What factors affect how the heart and blood pressure recover after surgery? - Do the heart and blood pressure conditions before surgery influence recovery and the risk of heart or brain problems after surgery? Patients will have heart ultrasound checks and health monitoring before and after surgery. The results will help doctors choose the right medicines before surgery,...
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 lung cancer, lymphoma, or melanoma.
