The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a time-limited (i.e., 18 weeks) community health worker (CHW) intervention, referred to as the Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) plus natural helper (NH) model, on treatment engagement, retention, and child and caregiver outcomes.

In the current clinical and scientific reality, conservative treatment is the most coherent clinical management with a view to the proper rehabilitation of patients with chronic neck pain, with a trend towards the use of therapeutic exercise. However, some uncertainty about the effectiveness of therapeutic exercises still remains, requiring further studies with high methodological rigor, especially with regard to multimodal treatment, such as the combination of therapeutic exercises with photobiomodulation. Thus, the objective of this project is to evaluate the effects of adding photobiomodulation to a program of specific therapeutic exercises for the treatment of individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain. For this, 60 participants will be randomized into two groups: therapeutic exercise group + photobiomodulation (n = 30), and therapeutic exercise group (n = 30). There will be 10 treatment sessions and participants will be evaluated before, after the 10 sessions, and 4 weeks after the end of treatment using the Numerical Pain Scale, Neck Disability Index, Catastrophic Thoughts about Pain Scale, and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. In the statistical analysis, a linear mixed model will be applied, considering the interaction between the time and group factors. Finally, the addition of photobiomodulation to a therapeutic exercise program is expected to generate clinical improvements for patients with chronic neck pain.

This phase II study compares the order of treatment with ivosidenib or enasidenib and azacitidine plus venetoclax in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia with genetic changes in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes (IDH mutated). Ivosidenib is in a class of medications called isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitors. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Enasidenib is in a class of medications called an IDH2 inhibitor. It also works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. This study may help researchers determine which treatment order is best for older patients with IDH mutated acute myeloid leukemia: 1) ivosidenib or enasidenib followed by azacitidine plus venetoclax; or 2) azacitidine plus venetoclax followed by ivosidenib or enasidenib.

The aim of this project is to use autologous haematopoietic stem cell transfusion support to promote the reconstruction of haematopoietic function after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. To explore the impact of stored haematopoietic stem cell support therapy on bone marrow protection after conventional chemotherapy for ovarian cancer in order to facilitate its clinical application.

The aim of this project is to promote the reconstruction of haematopoietic function after chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer with the innovative use of autologous haematopoietic containing stem cell blood transfusion support.To explore the effect of stored hemopoietic stem cell support therapy on bone marrow protection after concurrent chemoradiotherapy, in order to promote its clinical application.

Long treatment durations may not always be feasible for patients due to pressure to get better quickly, long travel distance to treatment clinics, inflexible working hours, or childcare. To overcome these challenges intensive treatments are currently emerging and several research studies have shown significant and lasting results of diagnosis-specific intensive treatments. A transdiagnostic treatment in a group setting can contribute to a more efficient course of treatment for patients. Research suggests that Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders. However, MCT has not previously been used on inpatients over a two-week period. To make the treatment tangible for patients and easy to administer for therapists over a short time, attention training technique (ATT) will mainly be used as a changing technique. The main aim of the study is to explore the feasibility and efficacy of intensive and short-term MCT for anxiety disorders in a group setting.

This trial is an extension of the antecedent trial ARGX-117-2002. It is a multicenter trial that has been designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARGX-117 Intravenously (IV) in adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN). The trial will include a double-blinded rollover treatment period (DTP), an open-label treatment period (OTP), and a safety follow-up period.

The CATCH cluster randomized trial will test the implementation and effectiveness outcomes of implementing and scaling up a team-based care strategy for blood pressure control in Colombia and Jamaica.

Fruquintinib (HMPL-013) is a novel oral small molecule that selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) 1, 2, and 3 and has demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on multiple human tumor xenografts. Combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), this study is conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of this regimen in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases as the third-line therapy.

This study consists of a dose escalation/confirmation phase and an efficacy expansion phase. The dose escalation/confirmation phase is to determine the safety and tolerability and establish a preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of zilovertamab vedotin when administered in combination with R-CHP in participants with DLBCL who have received no prior treatment for their disease. The efficacy expansion phase is to determine the efficacy of the RP2D of zilovertamab vedotin when administered in combination with R-CHP in participants with DLBCL who have received no prior treatment for their disease.
