Active clinical trials for "Disease Progression"

Ultrasound during labor and measurement of Angle of progression showed extensive prospective and retrospective publications since 2010. The investigators performed between 2013 and 2016 the only one multicenter, randomized controlled Trial comparing digital exam to angle of progression after a prolonged 2-hour second stage of labor with uncertain fetal head. The investigators consider a cut off of 120° to accepted vaginal birth among cephalic occiput anterior position This randomised PILOT study showed that measurement of Angle of progression in addition to digital exam reduced caesarean delivery from 41% to12% ( n= 33, p=0,06). doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2022.04.018. The objective of this new study is therefore to validate the results of this PILOT study in a more powerful multicenter randomized trial (DELIVERY).

This phase II trial studies how well axitinib and avelumab work in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving axitinib and avelumab together may help to control adenoid cystic carcinoma.

This study will explore the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) on disease progression in subjects aged 2 through 5 years with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for F508del (F/F).

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the benefit of first-line maintenance erlotinib (Tarceva) versus erlotinib at the time of disease progression in participants with advanced NSCLC who have not progressed following 4 cycles of platinum based-chemotherapy and whose tumor does not harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation. Participants will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) once daily or placebo. Participants who progress on placebo will receive erlotinib 150 mg PO once daily as second-line therapy, and those who progress on erlotinib may switch to a non-investigational, second-line chemotherapy. Treatments will continue until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. Participants may also be entered into a final Survival Follow-Up (SFU) period upon treatment discontinuation.

The study is designed as an open-label, prospective, single arm, multicenter study of everolimus in histologically confirmed, neuroendocrine carcinoma G3 /neuroendocrine tumor G3 after failure of first-line platin-based chemotherapy (open-label pilot study). The aim of this study is to provide a second line therapy to patients with any type of platinum based first line chemotherapy, to gather data on disease control rate and progression free survival.

Orthokeratology is becoming popular for the treatment of myopia children. Many studies have shown that orthokeratology is effective in temporarily reducing refractive error, and is also helpful for controlling myopia progression. However, the mechanism for its slowing myopia progression and rebound effect after the treatment have not been clearly studied. In addition, the effect of orthokeratology among Chinese children has not been evaluated with randomized controlled trial.This study is to assess the effect of orthokeratology versus spectacles on myopia progression in school-aged Chinese children during two years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of daily dextromethorphan/quinidine (Nuedexta) in reducing the frequency and progression of episodic migraine.

Treatment options for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) have increased in the last years. However, there are no validated prospective molecular markers in CRC to select which agents are better to treat any individual case. The conventional first-line treatment in CRC patients in clinical studies get a proportion of patients free of progression at 12 months ranging from 35-40% with a median of 9 months of free disease progression. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the identification of therapeutic targets in real time and their prospectively use to customize the treatment get a proportion of colorectal metastatic patients patients free of progression disease at 12 months of 50%.

The main objective is to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the objective response rate (OR) (= complete responses (CR) and partial responses (PR)) according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria, the progression-free survival (PFS), the overall survival (OS), the overall survival from the date of the first-line chemotherapy used on the metastatic disease, the treatment tolerance (NCI CTC AE V4 criteria, except for peripheral neurological toxicity (Lévi Scale)), the quality of life according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 criteria. The objectives of the biological study are to evaluate potentially predictive anti-EGFR and anti-VEGF response factors and CEC rates as predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of bevacizumab associated with chemotherapy in mCRC treatment.

This study will evaluate patients who have an episode of moderate to severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and are followed in a focused post-AKI clinic. After patients present signs of kidney recovery and before hospital discharge, patients who give consent will be enrolled in the study. At the first post-AKI clinic visit, patients will be randomly allocated to follow a normal (ad-lib) or a low protein diet (LPD) for 3 months. Patients allocated to a LPD will receive a drug called Ketosteril. This drug allows the intake of essential amino acids while minimizing the amino-nitrogen intake, what in excess, can be bad for the recovered kidney. The investigators will evaluate the nutritional parameters and the kidney recovery of all patients and compare these parameters in those two groups.
