To evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of asciminib 40mg+imatinib or asciminib 60mg+imatinib versus continued imatinib and versus nilotinib versus asciminib 80mg in pre-treated patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP)

The study is a two-stage trial: First stage (closed - 16 patients recruited in France): Phase I feasibility trial to evaluate the safety of the combination of Nivolumab + metronomic chemotherapy considering three possible metronomic chemotherapy regimens Second stage (opened - 86 patients expected in France and Belgium): Phase II randomized controlled balanced 1:1 open-label trial comparing the efficacy of the metronomic chemotherapy regimen selected at the end of the previous stage (arm C: cyclophosphamide, capecitabine, vinblastine), with or without nivolumab. "Trans-MetroPD1" ancillary sub-study is partially implemented since April 2022, and proposed to patients participating to second stage

Ectopic soft tissue calcifications or ossifications can complicate the course of numerous diseases; most of them are rare or very rare. Even if the clinical, radiological and pathological presentation of ectopic calcifications and ossifications are different, the same hypotheses are discussed considering their hypothetical pathophysiology. Indeed, high calcium phosphate product, local cellular lesions and abnormal transdifferentiation of mesenchymal cells are regularly evoked when pathophysiology of such calcifications or ossifications are discussed. Apart from several case reports that have not been confirmed so far, no medical treatments are available, leading to significant pain and impairment of quality of life for patients. Therefore, only surgical treatment can be proposed when the volume or the consequences of these calcifications/ossifications become too important. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is currently used as a cyanide poisoning antagonist and a chemoprotectant against adverse effects of several chemotherapies such as Cisplatin. Numerous case reports and several studies have revealed the potential interest of STS in the treatment of uremic induced vascular or soft tissues calcifications. Recently, our group has developed an expertise in the use of STS for the treatment of ectopic soft tissue calcifications or ossifications. Considering these promising preliminary data, and their limits, we developed a strategy to treat soft tissue calcifications or ossifications based on a local administration of STS. The first results of this therapeutic strategy are highly promising and the local or systemic safety is satisfactory so far. These preliminary data also reported by others deserve to be confirmed in a prospective study. We propose in this project to conduct a prospective open controlled phase II trial in order to assess the efficacy and the safety of intralesional administration of STS for the treatment of calcifications secondary to dermatomyositis or systemic sclerosis and ectopic ossifications secondary to pseudo-hypoparathyroidism 1a type (PHP1A/iPPSD2) (inactivating parathyroid hormone / parathyroid-hormone-related peptid (PTH/PTHrP) signalling disorder).

The purpose of this current prospective study is to determine the role of vitamin D in the development and restoration of spinal deformities in adolescence.

This research study is studying an immune-based cancer drug as a possible treatment for prostate cancer. The drug involved in this study is: -Nivolumab

The goal of the SENSITACT system is to activate an adaptive kinesthetic stimulation to treat apnea-bradycardia events on preterm infants, while minimizing deleterious effects, in particular arousals that can be due either to respiratory efforts or to kinesthetic stimulation itself. This novel system will provide an alternative treatment to apnea-bradycardia, with improved patient comfort and autonomy. In particular, it may become a complementary solution for the current treatments (Manual stimulation by caregivers, continuous or intermittent nasal positive pressure ventilation and methylxanthine therapies) that do not appear to be optimal and usually only allow a partial reduction in the number and severity of apneas.

This is an open labeled study to determine the response and characteristics, safety and efficacy, of the proprietary DPCP ointment composition as a topical immunotherapeutic agent for the treatment of extensive alopecia areata.

PD-1(programmed death protein 1)antibody has been to approved in patients with MSI-H/dMMR advanced cancer and has achieved significant efficacy. It is reported that the objective response rate of Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab are 40% and 31.1% in MSI-H/dMMR (microsatellite instability-high/deficiency mismatch repair )colorectal cancer. What's more, most of the patients who had response for PD-1 antibody achieved a long duration of disease control. However, not all patients with MSI-H/dMMR was sensitive to PD-1 antibody despite it is a biomarker for PD-1 antibody treatment. There were about 50-60% of patients with MSI-H/dMMR were insensitive and we don't know why. What's more, it's reported that tumor mutation burden (TMB) may be another biomarker of response to PD-1 therapy. COX (cyclooxygenase)inhibitor has been proved to prevent adenomas in colorectal and it is safe for most of the patients. Preclinical models also showed that COX inhibitor could act with PD-1 antibody in mice and control disease progress. So, this study aims to evaluated efficacy and safety of combination of PD-1 antibody and COX inhibitor in patients with MSI-H/dMMR or high tumor mutation burden colorectal cancer.

This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study seeks to test whether simvastatin, a statin usually used to lower cholesterol to prevent heart problems and strokes, can lower the risk of hepatic decompensation (developing symptoms of cirrhosis) in U.S. Veterans who have compensated cirrhosis (the liver is scarred and damaged but there are no symptoms). The study will also explore how changes or differences in genes effect the safety and effectiveness of using statins and how the use of statins affects quality of life.

There is large heterogeneity in treatment response to asthma medication and a one-size fits all approach based on current guidelines might not fit all children with asthma. It is expected that children with one or more variant alleles (Arg16Arg and Arg16Gly) within the beta2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene coding for the beta2-receptor have a higher risk to poorly respond to long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) comparing to the Gly16Gly wildtype. Aims To study whether ADRB2 genotype-guided treatment will lead to improvement in asthma control in children with uncontrolled asthma on inhaled corticosteroids compared with usual care. Design A multicentre, double-blind, precision medicine, randomized trial will be carried out within 20 Dutch hospitals. 310 asthmatic children (6-17 years of age) not well controlled on a low dose of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) will be included and randomized over a genotype-guided and a non-genotype-guided(control) arm. In the genotype-guided arm children with Arg16Arg and Arg16Gly will be treated with double dosages of ICS and with the Gly16Gly wildtype with add on LABA. In the control arm children will be randomized over both treatment options. Lung function measurements, questionnaires focussing on asthma control (ACT/c-ACT) and quality of life, will be obtained in three visits within 6 months. The primary outcome will be improvement in asthma control based on repeated measurement analysis of c-ACT or ACT scores in the first three months of the trial. Additional cost effectiveness studies will be performed. Conclusion Currently, pharmacogenetics is not used in paediatric asthmas. This trial may pave the way to implement promising results for genotype-guided treatment in paediatric asthma in clinical practice.
