Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

To investigate if oral administration of 240mg PAC of cranberries can reduce the number of episodes of acute bacterial cystitis and improve general QoL in women with recurrent bacterial cystitis. In addition, the effect on vagina and rectal flora will studied and the adverse effect profile of the drug will be reported. Women with ≥3 symptomatic episodes of lower UTIs at the previous year will be recruited from the outpatient population who present to their family physician or specialist with symptomatic recurrent UTI. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients and they will be divided in groups according to their age. Urinary culture, vaginal and rectal swab will be taken from all the patients. Antibiotic treatment will be prescribed (using the drug of choice according to the urine culture and the treating physician choice). Subsequently, they will be randomized to receive combined antibiotic treatment with one capsule of Cysticlean 240mg PAC two times per day or antibiotic treatment with placebo. At 14th day post treatment and after a negative urinary culture patients will continue to receive per os, daily, one capsule of Cysticlean 240mg at bed time for 12 months or placebo respectively. Study visits will occur at 3rd, 6th , 9th and 12th month treatment phase. A urine collection, vaginal swabs and rectal swab will be taken at study entry and at the month 3, 6, 9 and 12 visits. Participants will be asked about medication usage, any side effects they may be experiencing at each study visit. If participants develop a UTI at any time during the study, they will be asked to visit the study site within 24 hours.

Up to 30-40% of the patients may develop bladder recurrance after radical nephroureterectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Bladder tumor needs transurethral resection, which is associated with costs of treatment and potential poor prognosis. Although several randomized controlled trial have shown that prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy could prevent bladder tumor recurrence, the optimal schedule and duration of treatment are unkown. The investigators want to determine the efficiacy of single instillation versus long-term intravesical instillation of pirarubicin for bladder recurrence after radical nephrouretectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

One-third to one-half of patients with AML relapse and in general relapsed AML patients have a poor prognosis. The treatment of relapsed AML consists of induction chemotherapy followed by Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). However, at present there is no standard salvage chemotherapy regimen for relapsed AML, as no study has shown any one regimen to be significantly superior. Anthracyclines, Fludarabine, Etoposide and cytarabineare active agents in AMLand have been used as monotherapy and in combination in refractory and relapsed AML patients. According to previous studies the present CR rate of different regimens ranges from 50-70%. A retrospective analysis (unpublished) conducted at IRCH, AIIMS on relapsed AML patients treated with ADE (Cytarabine, Daunorubicin and Etoposide) chemotherapy showed the CR rates of approximately 70%. Therefore, we have planned this study to test the efficacy and toxicity of ADE induction chemotherapy in relapsed AML patients in a prospective manner.

Recurrent or advanced cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is refractory to multimodal treatment, even to extensive therapy. Chemotherapy, consisting of platinum and etoposide, remains the main therapy for recurrent or advanced cervical NEC. In addition, bevacizumab has shown progression-free benefits in recurrent or advanced cervical cancer. Case report suggested anti-PD-1 antibody may have antitumor activities in NEC. Based on these evidences, a phase 2, single arm trial is conducted to explore the objective response rate (ORR) of platinum/etoposide/bevacizumab/anti-PD-1 antibody (camrelizumab) for the treatment of recurrent or advanced cervical NEC. This trial is to enroll 20 patients, who would accept 6 courses of platinum/etoposide/bevacizumab/camrelizumab. If the patient achieved complete or partial remission, a total period of 12 months bevacizumab/camrelizumab will be given as maintain therapy. The primary endpoint is ORR. The second endpoints are severe adverse events according to criteria of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and iRECIST Guideline, and critical changes of laboratory testing.

The efficacy of low-dose aspirin combined with low-molecular-weight heparin treatment for improving antiphospholipid syndrome and maternal-fetal outcome of patients is recognized by various countries and recommended by the guidelines. However, there are still 20-30% of APS patients whose treatment fails. Therefore, the standard treatment effect is still not ideal, and other treatment options need to be explored. The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized double-blind, parallel controlled study of patients with recurrent miscarriage and APS in addition to standard treatment, plus hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) or placebo, to observe the effects of HCQ on pregnancy outcome in patients with abortion and APS, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of HCQ treatment.

This proposal aims to determine whether an adjunctive Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) treatment program improves Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) adherence and reduces drug-use among opioid use disorder (OUD) patients. The broad long-term objectives of this project are to investigate how integrative pharmacological and behavioral treatments improve OUD treatment outcomes. Participants for this study will include 200 patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD), that are enrolled in a 60-day residential addiction treatment program and prescribed MAT for OUD. Participants will be randomly assigned to a MBRP behavioral treatment condition or a non-MBRP treatment-as-usual (TAU) control condition as part of their treatment within the residential addiction treatment program. All participants will be monitored for three-months following their discharge from the program to test the hypotheses that MBRP participants, relative to TAU participants, will (1) demonstrate greater MAT adherence following discharge, and (2) evidence reduced drug-use following discharge.

The aim of this study was to initially evaluate the optimal dose, efficacy, and safety of vitamin D3 for reducing recurrence of recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs).

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed or amplified in 10-20% of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Trastuzumab combined with fluorouracil and platinum has been established as first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer. The role of trastuzumab in second-line treatment for HER2-positive gastric cancer has not yet been addressed. Here, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of adding trastuzumab to ramucirumab and paclitaxel combination as a second-line treatment in HER2-positive gastric cancer progressed after trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of MRG003 in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck.

A randomized controlled, multi-center, open, phase II clinical study is designed to target patients with resectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with high-risk recurrence factors which has extremely low postoperative recurrence-free survival. In this study, we aim to compare the prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between Toripalimab combined with Lenvatinib and GEMOX neoadjuvant treatment and the current clinical surgical treatment (traditional group).
