Active clinical trials for "Disease Progression"

This is a single-arm, single-site pilot of Radium-223 (55 kBq/kg) IV q3 weeks for up to 6 doses in combination with Atezolizumab 1200mg IV once every 3 weeks until investigator determined lack of benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or 17 doses in patients with urothelial carcinoma with bone metastases who have disease progression after platinum-containing chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects, of the research study drug Telomelysin (OBP-301) in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with inoperable, recurrent, or progressive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Telomelysin is an investigational treatment, while pembrolizumab and SBRT are approved standard treatments. The combination of these three treatments is also considered investigational.

This study will test whether daily use of azithromycin will reduce the rate of exacerbations and improve lung ventilation and perfusion assessed by XE-MRI. The sensitivity of XE-MRI to detect COPD progression will be compared with standard clinical assessment measures including standard lung function tests, 6 minute walk test, and patient reported quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of giving atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab in patients with stage 4 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose cancer has gotten worse while receiving osimertinib.

This study will assess the efficacy of everolimus as an inhibitor of fibrosis progression in liver transplant patients who have a recurrence of hepatitis C viral infection in the transplant

To identify biomarkers, obtained using non-invasive procedures, that can predict disease progression and progression to sight-threatening stages of the disease and to characterize the retinal changes that occur in Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR).

In a randomized, doubleblind and placebo-controlled trial we assess both clinical and cellular effects of atorvastatin in patients with liver cirrhosis. 162 participants will be allocated to atorvastatin 10-20 mg or placebo for 18 months. Clinical outcomes of survival, hospitalizations and safety will be evaluated. Also, the trial will investigate cellular functions in the liver by mass spectrometry proteomics, and single cell transcriptomics as well as exploring atorvastatin effects on different fenotypes by metagenomics.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of brigatinib and binimetinib in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer and a type of gene mutation called a rearrangement in the ALK or ROS1 genes. Brigatinib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Introduction An increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD) among people living with HIV infection is linked to platelet and immune activation, a phenomenon unabolished by antiretroviral (ARV) drugs alone. In small studies, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) has been shown to control immune activation, increase CD4+ count, halt HIV disease progression and reduce HIV viral load (HVL). The investigators present a protocol for a larger suspended randomised placebo controlled trial on the effect of an addition of ASA to ARV drugs on HIV disease progression. Methods and analysis A single-centre phase IIA double-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial intended to recruit 454 consenting ARV drug-naïve, HIV-infected adults initiating ART. Participants were randomised in blocks of 10 in a 1:1 ratio to receive, in addition to ARV drugs, 75 mg ASA or placebo for 6 months. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants attaining HVL of <50 copies/mL by 8, 12 and 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes include proportions of participants with HVL of >1000 copies/mL at week 24, attaining a >30% rise of CD4 count from baseline value at week 12, experiencing adverse events, with normal levels of biomarkers of platelet and immune activation at weeks 12 and 24 and rates of morbidity and all-cause mortality. Intention-to-treat analysis will be done for all study outcomes.

Motor symptom progression in early-stage Parkinson's disease varies substantially between individual patients. This progression correlates poorly with striatal dopamine depletion, which is largely complete four years post-diagnosis. Identification of alternative mechanisms, such as cortical compensatory processes, may enable more accurate predictions of individual motor progression.
