Active clinical trials for "Acute Disease"

This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Appendicectomy has been the treatment of acute appendicitis for over a hundred years. Appendicectomy, however, includes operative and postoperative risks despite being a routine procedure. Several studies have proved promising results of the safety and efficiency of antibiotics in the treatment of acute uncomplicated appendicitis. The previous APPAC study by the investigators, published in 2015 in the Journal of American Medical Association, also proved promising results with 73% of patients with uncomplicated appendicitis treated successfully with antibiotics. None of the patients initially treated with antibiotics that later had appendectomy had major complications. The results of the APPAC trial suggest that CT proven uncomplicated acute appendicitis is not a surgical emergency and antibiotic therapy is a safe first-line treatment option. Reducing unnecessary appendectomies has also been shown to lead to significant economic savings. On the other hand, antibiotic therapies have been shown to have an effect on the normal gut microbiota and are considered an increasing global health threat underlining the importance of evaluating both short- and long-term effects of the antimicrobial treatment in old and new indications. The aims of this randomized prospective study are: To evaluate the possible role and differences in the microbiological etiology of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis. To determine the effects of both antibiotic and placebo treatment on the composition of gut microbiota, and to evaluate how it recovers after the appendicitis-related antimicrobial treatment (AMT) To evaluate the effects of the duration of the hospital stay on the AMR reservoir of the gut microbiota.

The aim of this long-term observational study is the documentation of the use of PASCORBIN® 7.5 g in patients with vitamin C deficiency. Regarding the vitamin C deficiency, the investigators focus on the acquisition of data of the underlying diseases and the reduction of symptoms, that are related to oxidative stress and vitamin-C-deficiency. Next to this, exact assessment of medical tolerance and details of treatment requirements are further aims. Here the investigators take into account acute and chronic underlying medical conditions. Further health economic data are collected.

This study will monitor CtDNA After Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients With AL

In this prospective, single arm, open label, clinical trial, a total of 50 acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage patients will be enrolled. Patients will receive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) -based chemotherapy and are permitted to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after CR . Otherwise, they will finish the consolidation chemotherapy. Patients with t(9;22) will receive chemotherapy combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The purpose of current study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ALL-based chemotherapy，effect of genetic abnormality and minimal residual disease (MRD) on prognosis in patients with acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage.

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with a conventional chemotherapy backbone in pediatric and young adult participants with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia harboring histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A1 ([KMT2A1], nucleophosmin 1 gene (NPM1), or nucleoporin alterations in Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and to further evaluate safety at the RP2D(s) of JNJ-75276617 in combination with chemotherapy in pediatric and young adult participants with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia harboring KMT2A1, NPM1, or nucleoporin alterations and safety at the RP2D(s) of JNJ-75276617 as monotherapy in a select low burden of disease cohort in Part 2 (Dose Expansion).

In children receiving a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), blood levels of TNFalpha (an inflammatory cytokine) at the onset of the acute GVHD (graft-versus-host disease) could be correlated with the severity of the disease. The hypothesis is that the highest infliximab (a biologic drug against TNFalpha) could be associated with a significant reduction in TNFa levels and, subsequently, with a faster remission of the symptoms and prevention of disease progression. Moreover, a rapid drop of infliximab serum concentration, documented by therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), could be related to the active phase of GVHD and higher production of TNFalpha. Therefore, the study is aimed at investigating whether the drop in infliximab plasma concentrations could be associated with clinical response and production of TNFalpha. HSCT children receiving infliximab to control GVHD are enrolled. Blood samples will be collected during treatment and they serve to measure drug and TNFalpha concentrations. Drug levels are analyzed by a population pharmacokinetic modeling and results are compared with plasma concentrations of TNFalfa and clinical response.

Study design is multicenter prospective registry study. Participants are consecutive (non-selected, a sequential registration) patients admitted from emergency rooms of participating hospitals who meet the eligibility criteria. The primary objectives are to estimate the prevalence of and risk factors for RS and other respiratory virus infection and their effect on hospital course in patients with any respiratory symptom who admit from emergency room using a multicenter prospective registry study. The primary target virus is RS virus and the secondary target viruses are respiratory virus and other microorganisms measured by FilmArray 2.1.

Through introducing physicians in front in the medical assessment and decision-making processes in acute and sub-acute illness in the municipalities, as well as including machine learning in analyzing prospective and retrospective data, the project will develop and implement innovative and knowledge-based digital diagnostic tools and decision-making support systems to be used in the municipalities. As such, the project will contribute to early identification of severe illness, prevent deterioration of disease, and facilitate early medical intervention.

This is a phase Ib/II clinical study that has two phases. In phase Ib, the safety evaluation of the extract of Petiveria alliacea (Esperanza) will be carried out in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) and patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed acute leukemia. In phase IIb, the safety will continue to be evaluated, and the efficacy of the Esperanza extract will be explored in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) with newly diagnosed acute leukemias and relapses.
