Active clinical trials for "Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions"

A prospective, open, randomised implementation study in paediatric cancer patients. The study aims to determine whether a personalised approach will result in an overall reduction in clinically relevant adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and to evaluate the economic and quality of life impacts. Participants will be randomised to receive personalised guided prescribing of supportive care therapy (study arm) or standard of care (control arm) for a period of 12 weeks. The follow up period includes prospective patient reporting of symptoms and quality of life through electronically delivered surveys, for a maximum of 12 months.

To investigate the effectiveness of three (3) IV diuretic regimens to increase natriuresis in volume-overloaded HF patients, allowing for better decongestion and potentially resulting in improved clinical and biochemical parameters outcome.

This is a single-arm, two cohort, open label phase I/II clinical trial studying the combination of oral imatinib 400 mg, once daily, and oral selinexor given once weekly (Cohort A); and single-agent oral selinexor 60 mg BIW (Cohort B). The study will consist of: Cohort A: an initial escalation phase (Ib) evaluating increasing doses of selinexor in combination with fixed doses of imatinib administered in repeated 28-day cycles in advanced/metastatic, imatinib-resistant GIST patients, followed by an expansion phase (II) testing for safety and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity Cohort B: single-agent, fixed selinexor dose in the same target population

HYPOTHESIS An advanced practice nursing intervention in the area of pharmacovigilance performed on patients and professionals improves the identification and reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADR) and improves the overall experience of hospitalized patients.

Cisplatin is one of the first-line drugs used against many malignancies, such as lung cancer, head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, urothelial cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer. The usage of Cisplatin is limited by its severe nephrotoxicity, which particularly affects the proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTEC).Several studies suggest role of NAC in ameliorating Cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity, although definitive data is lacking. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a thiol-containing antioxidant, which not only acts as a precursor of glutathione but also as a direct antioxidant .There are multiple postulated mechanisms for NAC's nephroprotection. NAC is a low-cost, easily available drug with a very good safety profile and therefore can be added as a support medication during treatment with cisplatin. The investigators plan to administer 1200 mg oral NAC 12 hours before chemotherapy and then daily at night for the subsequent 6 days, with an objective to ascertain its nephroprotective role in population receiving Cisplatin/-based chemotherapy.

Cough after lobectomy is common. The prevention and treatment of cough after lobectomy is not standardized. Breztri Aerosphere is often used to relieve cough. Therefore, we conduct a single center placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative use of Breztri Aerosphere in relieving cough after lobectomy.

The aim of this research is to design a randomized controlled clinical study, which is based on HLA matching rate to guide tacrolimus regimen. In this study, the possibility of tacrolimus regimen guided by HLA matching rate will be explored, the occurrence rate of GVHD and rejection reaction will be observed, and the occurrence time and degree of adverse reactions caused by immune inhibitors will be identified. In the meantime, providing a possible prospect for prevention of GVHD and reduction or removal of immune inhibitors.

Genetic makeup of a patient influences the efficacy and safety profile of a drug. This study is to summarize individual cases, where Pharmacogenetics (PGx) has been applied during pharmaceutical care. The primary objective is the compilation of case reports, where pharmacogenetic testing is applied to determine the hereditable component of the patient's susceptibility to experience therapy failure and/or adverse drug reactions. The experience with the compiled cases will be basis for the development of a reliable standard of procedure for pharmacogenetic testing in the community pharmacy. The cases will be supplemented with information on additional Parameters reported in the literature to affect efficacy or safety of the respective drug.

This registry aims to monitor the safety of Qizhi Tongluo Capsules and to identify the potential risk factors for its adverse drug reactions.

This study is to investigate blood and urine kidney injury markers (especially Uromodulin) in pediatric cancer patients treated with nephrotoxic chemotherapy. Uromodulin is a marker to detect and monitor tubular injury and renal function.
