The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneously administered cladribine versus placebo to stop inflammation and treat disease progression of non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. In most patients, it starts with a relapsing course (RMS) which is caused by acute inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord. RMS transforms at later stages into progressive disease (secondary progressive MS). Currently approved disease-modifying treatments are effective in reducing clinical relapses and brain and spinal lesions visible in MR, but they perform poorly in...
International, prospective, single arm, multicenter and observational Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF). The overall objective of this study is to collect preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative (at 9 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years) data on the clinical complications and functional outcomes of the study devices to demonstrate safety and performance in a real-world setting. The primary objective is to demonstrate that the use of the study devices is safe. The secondary objective is to demonstrate that the use of the study devices decreases the pain, and improves the quality of life and the daily activities of the subjects.
Clear-Me is a biomarker-driven phase II study that tests whether the combination anti- lymphocyte-activation gene-3 (LAG3)/anti-programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1) inhibition Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS986213) is superior to anti-PD-1 inhibition in patients with detectable circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) following definitive surgery for high risk melanoma. Patients will be allocated to either Arm A or Arm B via the process of randomization. The randomization process will be stratified according to stage (Stage 2A/2B/3A/3B/3C/3D or 4), to ensure absolute balance between stage groups. The investigators are choosing only 1 stratification factor, disease stage, as...
A prospective imaging and translational tissue study in CNS lymphoma to enable further disease characterisation and the development of potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers.
The participants are being treated with Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) for malignant glioma, and this type of treatment may cause skin-related side effects. This study will test whether using clindamycin and triamcinolone topical lotions can prevent skin-related side effects of TTFields.
This is an prospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of naxitamab monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy or combined with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor in the treatment of pediatric high-risk and refractory/relapsed neuroblastoma in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the application of domestic PET/MR in major brain diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Overcome the bottleneck of early accurate diagnosis and treatment in major brain diseases clinical practice. - Promote the clinical application of domestic PET/MR, enhance international competitiveness. Participants will have a PET/MR scan of the brain.
Positron emission tomography (PET), an advanced diagnostic imaging technique, exploits the annihilation of positrons (e+) to delineate pathological alterations within diseased tissues. Integral to PET scanners are detector systems that transform gamma photons into fluorescent photons, thereby gleaning insights into the energy, time, and spatial distribution of gamma photons emanating from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. Conventional PET scanners, bear a significant financial burden primarily due to their reliance on LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) or LYSO (lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate) scintillation crystals. The exorbitant cost and limited availability of these...
This study will investigate how genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of melanoma, a type of skin cancer, and related conditions. Individuals >=4 weeks with a personal or family history of melanoma or atypical spitzoid/Spitz tumor may be eligible for this study. Participants will: - Fill out one or two questionnaires about their personal and family medical history. - Provide written consent for researchers to review their medical records and pathology materials related to their care and those of deceased relatives with melanomas, tumors, cancer, or other related illnesses for whom they are the next-of-kin or legally authorized...
Data involving orthopaedic conditions and rehabilitation aspects of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders will be collected and stored as part of the normal clinical care of patients seen in the University of Florida (UF) and Shands Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute.
