The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of a gene therapy called GS030-DP (injected study treatment) administered via a single intravitreal injection and repeated light stimulation using a medical device called GS030-MD (stimulating glasses) in subjects with documented diagnosis of non-syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled biomarker study in renal transplant recipients with actinic damage and a history of basal cell carcinomas and/or cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas. There will be two arms to the study: 1) daily oral UAB30 for 28 days; and 2) daily oral placebo for 28 days. The total duration of the study is anticipated to be 5 years. The hypothesis being tested is that a significantly greater percentage of subjects randomized to oral UAB30 over a period of 28 days will achieve ≥30% reduction in biomarkers of proliferation and ≥30% increase in apoptosis biomarkers than those who receive placebo. Cyclin D1 will serve as the primary biomarker. This investigation will determine whether subjects randomized to UAB30 have an increase in all trans-retinoic acid responsive genes in the skin compared to those receiving placebo. This will include an examination of target effects of UAB30 by evaluating its effects in vivo in humans on the DNA damage response and Src signaling pathways.

This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for ER-positive Breast Cancer The drug involved in this study is: -Ribociclib

The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) and the investigational drug, Metformin.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and anti-tumour activity of MSCTRAIL in addition to chemotherapy in metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in a Phase I/II clinical trial. In the phase I study, patients will receive cisplatin and pemetrexed on day one followed by MSCTRAIL cells on day 2. This constitutes one cycle of treatment. Each patient will receive 3 cycles of treatment at 21 day intervals. The aim of phase 1 is to estimate the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of MSCTRAIL in combination with pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy. During the phase II study patients will be randomised to either the intervention or the control arm of the study. All patients in both arms will receive cisplatin and pemetrexed on day one of treatment. Patients randomised to the intervention arm will receive the recommended dose of MSCTRAIL from Phase I on day 2 whilst those in the control arm will receive a placebo. As this is a double blind trial both patients and the clinical team will not know whether they are receiving MSCTRAIL or a placebo product. The aim of phase 2 is to assess tolerability and preliminary efficacy of MSCTRAIL in combination with pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy.

Investigators aimed to assess Jia Wei Yang He Formula as a plus therapy in the treatment of persistent asthma and to explore Airway Microbiome variation of Asthma by Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment

Supine hypertension is a common problem that affects at least 50% of patients with primary autonomic failure. Supine hypertension can be severe and complicates the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. The purpose of this study is to assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) decreases blood pressure in autonomic failure patients with supine hypertension.

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a technique called focal high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy as treatment for prostate cancer that has come back in the prostate after prior radiotherapy. The study will examine the safety and efficacy of the treatment. The type of radiation that participants in this research will receive is targeted directly at the areas of the prostate where recurrent disease is evident, while avoiding treatment of the normal appearing prostate. This involves the placement of a radioactive material in the affected area of the prostate temporarily, where it remains for a short period of time, and then is subsequently removed using a minimally invasive technique called HDR Brachytherapy.

Children recovering from tonsil surgery following day surgery Tonsil surgery - self-care and treatment - the TONIST-study The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect and experience of acupuncture, acupressure, specially designed diet and telephone counselling on children's surgery-related symptoms, quality of life and costs during recovery after tonsillectomy (TE) or tonsillotomy (TT). Early discharge from hospitals means that patients have to deal with much of the post-operative care during recovery process on their own or with the help of relatives. The recovery period may be a progressive process of physical weakness (1,2). In Sweden, 14 000 tonsil surgeries per year are performed, about 50% children under 15 years because of obstruction, of TE, tonsillectomy, and TT, tonsillomy. Children's tonsil surgery following day surgery are in focus for this study. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used.
