Active clinical trials for "Endocrine System Diseases"

Being a parent of a child with medical complexity (CMC) poses an enormous stress because these CMC have a multisystem disease, a severe neurologic condition or cancer which may result in premature death. Parents may feel challenged, lacking in confidence and high level of stress when managing their daily caregiving activities and child's new symptom. Literature suggested that hope is believed to be the central agent in facilitating positive psychological change when parents are facing difficulties and feeling stress. Brief Hope Intervention (BHI) is an alternative method considered to be feasible in improving parental hope level meanwhile, decreasing their stress level associated with daily caregiving activities. The purpose of BHI is to help these parents to develop workable goals, and concentrate on problem solving skill along with achievable planned actions in order to terminate the stressors associated from the caregiving activities. This proposed pilot randomized controlled trial will test the feasibility and preliminary effect of the BHI in term of increasing the level of hope meanwhile decreasing the stress level of parents with a CMC. Eligibility, recruitment rates, and attrition rates will be collected in percentage to evaluate the feasibility of the study. Content analysis will be adopted to analysis the qualitative feedback on the acceptability of BHI from the parents. A repeated-measures, two-group design will be used to evaluate the preliminary effects between intervention and wait-listed control groups by comparing Brief Hope Intervention and wait-listed control groups receiving usual community care for 64 randomly selected parents over a 1-month follow-up. The outcome measures include parental hope and stress level. They will be measured before intervention, immediately after intervention and one-month after intervention. With positive outcomes found in this study, this intervention will be implemented in a larger scale to improve local psychological health service for parents with a CMC.

The objective of DIAGNODE-3 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three intranodal injections of 4 μg of Diamyd compared to placebo, along with oral Vitamin D supplementation, to preserve endogenous beta cell function and influence glycemic parameters in adolescent and adults recently diagnosed with T1D carrying the HLA DR3-DQ2 haplotype.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the addition of tirzepatide or placebo to titrated basal insulin on glycemic control in Chinese participants with type 2 diabetes.

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of VCTX211 Combination Product in Subjects with T1D

This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of once-weekly NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) treatment compared to daily growth hormone treatment (Norditropin® FlexPro®) in growth hormone treatment naïve pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency. The trial consists of a 26 week main trial period, followed by a 26 week extension trial period, a 104 week safety extension period, a 208 week longterm safety extension trial period and a 30 day follow up period. Participants receive NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) (0.04 mg/kg/week) during the main trial and the extension period and thereafter NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) (0.16 mg/kg/week) during the safety extension and the long-term safety extension periods. Two additional age groups, cohort II (age below 2 years and 26 weeks at screening) and cohort III (above 9 years (girls)/ above 10 years (boys) and equal to or below 17 years at screening) are included in the 208 week long-term safety extension trial period only.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease with increasing incidence globally. It needs a comprehensive and continuous management approach that includes five pillars: education, nutritional management, physical activity, pharmacological treatment, and monitoring. To achieve good glycemic control, prevention of complications, and good quality of life as diabetes management goals, patients' capability to properly navigate diabetes management is a key. One evidence-based model to empower patients' self-management abilities is diabetes education and health coaching. Diabetes management at primary health care needs special concern since they play an important role in initial and continuing care for diabetes patients in the community. Therefore, the implementation of diabetes education and health coaching in primary health care is expected to improve the self-management abilities of people with diabetes

The aims of this proposed study are to evaluate the effect of a digital foot self-management program on the primary outcome of self-efficacy, and secondary outcomes of self-care behaviors, HbA1c and health promotion satisfaction for older adults with type 2 diabetes.

This study will see if the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with a 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during total thyroidectomy (TTx) is better than surgeon's detection alone. It compares risk, benefits and outcomes in TTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.

This is a multi-national trial. The trial aims to study the long-term safety of LUM-201 in subjects with Idiopathic Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (iPGHD). This study will also assess pharmacodynamics and efficacy response to therapy with LUM-201.

This is a phase 3 open-label multicenter extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Lonapegsomatropin administered once-weekly. The study participants are adults (males and females) with confirmed growth hormone deficiency (GHD) having completed the treatment period in study TCH-306 (foresiGHt).
