Active clinical trials for "Endocrine System Diseases"

The OSPREY Patient Registry has been developed to collect and assess the performance and safety of the OncoSil™ device when used within the approved indication of unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic cancer, in combination with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy, within a real-world observational registry. The Registry data will provide both complementary and contemporary information to the existing clinical data across various countries and will form part of the post-market clinical follow-up activities for OncoSil™. Therefore, the Registry will be implemented only in countries with regulatory (commercial) approval for the OncoSil™ device.

The LIFE-HOUSE research project is designed to evaluate the impact of a personalized lifestyle intervention program on functional capacity as an approach to quantitating health, and its relationship to well understood disease risk determinants. LIFE-HOUSE will utilize an innovative Tent-Umbrella-Bucket design. Participants will gather under the Tent of an all-inclusive 'N of 1' Case Series providing a shelter of Functional Medicine interventions against the storm of chronic disease. Under this Tent are a collection of Umbrellas where participants with similar clinical challenges are evaluated as clinically defined groups with loose guidelines for the planned interventions. Finally, participants standing under these Umbrellas may step into specific Buckets that gather individuals with nearly identical clinical presentations into more formally described prescriptive randomized arms for intervention. Individuals will be offered the opportunity to participate in all Umbrellas and Buckets for which they qualify. They may accept or reject participation in any Umbrella or Bucket and yet remain eligible for participation in the overall Tent.

Therapeutic Confirmatory Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DWP16001 in Combination with Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Alone.

To review cases from NTUH who developed endocrinopathy and metabolic diseases after immunotherapy, and statistically analyzed their age, clinical presentation, image findings, treatment and its response.

The Offspring Born to Mothers with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort study (PCOS-BIG) was established to investigate the short- and long-term effects of intrauterine exposure to maternal PCOS on the health of offspring in Guangzhou, China. Data are collected regarding maternal PCOS subtypes, nursing, diet and education as well as health outcomes in their later life. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples are also collected from participants.

Background: - The body produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) about every 2 hours. GnRH travels through the bloodstream to the pituitary gland, where it stimulates the gland to produce hormones called gonadotropins. These hormones stimulate the testicles or ovaries. The testicles produce testosterone and develop sperm. The ovaries produce estrogen and prepare for ovulation. Normal estrogen and testosterone levels are required for puberty. Some people, however, have either low levels or total lack of GnRH. This can cause problems with puberty and fertility. Researchers want to study people with low or no GnRH to better understand how it affects puberty and fertility. Objectives: - To study disorders of GnRH production. Eligibility: Adult men and women at least 18 years of age with low or no gonadotropin levels. Adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age with low or no gonadotropin levels. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will have tests to look at their hormone levels. Blood samples may be collected after taking different drugs, including insulin and cortisone. A 24-hour urine sample will be collected. Participants will have imaging studies to look at bone and brain development. They will also have ultrasounds of the kidneys, abdomen, and reproductive organs. Tests of smell and hearing will be used to look for abnormalities in these senses.

Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) is a recognized clinical entity but several barriers concerning patient-clinician communication, inadequate patients' awareness of the disease, low perceived benefit of replacement therapy and poor compliance still remains. The overall goal of the study is to improve AGHD management through a Smartphone app (MAGHD App: Manage Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency) integrated with a software framework able to merge patients daily data on physical activity, quality of life (QoL), and well-being with clinical data collected in institutional databases. The target population consists of 100 patients with a previous diagnosis of AGHD, whether in treatment with growth hormone or not. In a prospective 24 months study, MAGHD App will be developed and connected to MAGHD Framework. This system will allow to integrate: 1) Physical Activity Data collected by wearable devices, 2) Patient Related Outcomes Data, periodically inserted by the patients through MAGHD App in response to questions extrapolated from validated questionnaires, 3) HCP Data registered in clinical databases and including medical history, biochemical and radiological examination. Data will converge in MAGHD Framework where they will be analyzed and used to create reports visible to patients (in MAGHD App) and clinicians (by a monitoring dashboard). The results are expected to positively influence AGHD management by involving patients in care process and giving clinicians a useful tool for clinical practice.

This trial studies how well sleep and physical activity interventions work in increasing the physical activity of overweight or obese and sedentary African Americans. Sleep and physical activity interventions may help to increase physical activity among overweight and obese African American adults who do not get enough exercise.

The investigators will conduct a trial to evaluate if an online training and support platform can help adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in their diabetes self-management. Investigators will compare a group that has access to the "Support" platform through their usual medical care to a group that accesses the platform independently. The first group will be recruited through four participating clinics in the province of Quebec (Canada). The second group will be composed of adults living with T1D across Canada. Participants will have access to the platform for 12 months and will be asked to complete online questionnaires at the beginning and after 6 and 12 months, and share their glucose reader data with the research team. A subgroup of participants as well as healthcare professionals from the four clinics will be invited to participate in an individual interview aiming to understand the barriers and facilitators of integration "Support" in clinical care.
