This phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of olaparib in combination with 177Lutetium-Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (177 Lu-PSMA) in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response trial in patients with chronic stable Heart Failure (HF) and reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three INL1 doses compared with placebo. Patients will be treated for approximately 12 weeks with one of three INL1 doses: 50 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, or, placebo capsules, taken twice daily (BID).

The study is aimed To quantify the change of adipose tissues, triglyceride in liver and pancreas and cholesterol after lifestyle intervention or bariatric surgery. To test the hypothesis that Brown fat is an independent biomarker for the development of Non Alcoholic Fat Liver Disease (NAFLD) To study the association among Brown fat, NAFLD and obesity.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as hyperglycemia first-diagnosed during pregnancy. Glycemic control reduces GDM-related complications. With the new diagnostic criteria of GDM, up to 25% of pregnant women have GDM, whereas it was previously 6-10% in France. Therefore caring for women with GDM is very time-consuming. Therapeutic strategy includes dietary and lifestyle measures and additional insulin therapy for 15 to 40% of the women with GDM if the glycemic targets are not achieved after a period of 1 to 2 weeks of diet. Insulin therapy is imperfect for the following main reasons: need for education (i.e. subcutaneous administration, dose titration), hypoglycemia and weight gain, limited acceptance and high cost. Psychosocial deprivation is associated with more cases of GDM and health accessibility may be unequal. MYO-INOSITOL (MI) is an oral dietary supplement, which reduces insulin resistance. Women with GDM are deficient in MI. MI supplementation safely prevents GDM by 65 to 87% in high-risk women. A pilot study has shown a 75% reduction of the need for insulin during GDM not controlled by diet. The coordinator investigator propose here, for the first time, a randomized controlled study evaluating MI versus placebo in women with newly diagnosed GDM.

This study is a non-inferiority phase III randomised trial comparing preoperative chemotherapy alone (modified FOLFIRINOX) to chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy in patients with primary resectable locally advanced rectal cancer. The primary endpoint of the study is 3-year progression free survival. Expected 3 year PFS rate in the preoperative chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy arm is 75%. This hazard rate, in an exponential survival model, corresponds to a decrease in the 3-year PFS rate on the preoperative chemotherapy arm to 67%. The study will randomize 540 patients (270 in the chemotherapy group and 270 in the chemoradiotherapy group) in 42 french academic centers.

The study is a multicenter, open label Phase I/II trial. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lintuzumab-Ac225 added to venetoclax for patients with CD33 positive relapsed/refractory AML. (Phase 1 portion) To assess the percentage of patients with CR, CRh, or Overall Response (CR + CRh), up to 6 months after the start of treatment without receiving other AML therapies. (Phase 2 portion)

Patients with refractory ventricular extrasystoles or tachycardia not eligible for catheter ablation will receive single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (cardiac radiosurgery) with 25 Gy. Investigators initiated this study to demonstrate that in at least 70% of the patients the planned cardiac radiosurgery may be performed without any interruption or treatment related interventional events within the first 30 days after treatment.

This phase I/II trials evaluates the feasibility, safety and efficacy of an individualized cancer vaccine, based on autologous, tumor-lysate loaded dendritic cells in children and adolescents with relapsed high-grade gliomas. In addition, regulatory T cells are depleted by a short cycle of metronomic cyclophosphamide upfront of the vaccine in order to facilitate induction of immune responses. Therapeutic DC vaccines are followed by four cycles of Nivo/Ipi double checkpoint blockade and a Nivolumab monotherapy maintenance in order to optimize the induced T-cell response.

When children with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) got BCG infection the treatment would be a tough task. The goal of the proposed research is to observe weather vitamin D supplementation can help the CGD children get through this challenge.

Tennis elbow is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems affecting the arm and is thought to be mainly due to overuse of the muscles that extend the wrist. The pain arises from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, where the tendons of the wrist extensor muscles attach. There are many treatment options available for tennis elbow including oral medication, physiotherapy and injection therapy. Surgical options are reserved for those who fail to respond to more conservative treatments. Physiotherapy is a widely used, non-invasive treatment option for the management of tennis elbow. Research has shown that in the longer term, physiotherapy is superior to corticosteroid injection in the treatment of tennis elbow and a meta-analysis of published research concluded that Platelet Rich Plasma injection and Hyaluronic Acid injection are superior to corticosteroid for long term pain relief in tennis elbow. At present there is not enough evidence to indicate what the 'Gold Standard' treatment for tennis elbow is, and more research is therefore needed to help guide decision-making. The aim of this study is therefore to examine the effects of injection therapy in addition to physiotherapy treatment, in comparison to physiotherapy and a control injection on pain and function in patients with tennis elbow. All participants in this study will undergo a structured, specifically designed, class-based physiotherapy intervention, in addition to being randomly allocated to receive one of the following three types of injection: (a) a control injection whereby a needle is inserted into the skin but no therapeutic substance is injection, (b) a single therapeutic injection of platelet-rich plasm or (c) a single therapeutic injection of hyaluronic acid. Baseline data will be collected at the time of recruitment and participants will be followed up at 3 months and 12 months post treatment. Outcomes will be assessed using various patient-reported outcome measures in addition to clinical examination. The primary outcome for this study is the improvement in the quick DASH score at 12 months post-treatment compared to baseline.
