All clinical trials

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (s-TBI) is a major cause of death and disability across all ages. Besides the primary impact, the pathophysiologic process of major secondary brain damage consists of a neuroinflammation response that critically leads to irreversible brain damage in the first days after the trauma. A key catalyst in this inflammatory process is the complement system. Inhibiting the complement system is therefore considered to be a potentially important new treatment for TBI, as has been shown in animal studies. This trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of C1-inhibitor compared to placebo in TBI patients. By temporarily blocking the complement system we hypothesize limitation of secondary brain injury and more favourable clinical outcome for TBI patients due to a decrease in the posttraumatic neuroinflammatory response.

Trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nitazoxanide in the treatment of colds due to enterovirus/rhinovirus infection

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MRG002, as well as the immunogenicity as defined by the incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) of MRG002 in patients with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors and locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer.

This is Phase II trial of nivolumab plus axitinib for patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma who have progressed on prior anti-PD1 therapy with or without concomitant anti-CTLA4 therapy. Patients will receive treatment with nivolumab 480 mg intravenously every 4 weeks and axitinib 5 mg twice daily by mouth. Patients may continue both agents for up to two years if they do not experience disease progression or dose-limiting toxicities.

Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) commonly suffer from the effects of cognitive, behavioral, and motor impairments. At present, there is no specific treatment for this NF1 complication. In this project, the investigators will assess the safety and clinical benefit of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a pharmacological intervention in children with NF1. This drug choice is based on the recent findings from mouse models to study the central nervous system manifestations of NF1 at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). These findings revealed a role for myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in the control of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and their product, nitric oxide (NO), in maintenance of brain structure and function, including regulation of behavior and motor control. Treating these mice with NAC corrected cellular and behavioral abnormalities. This data from animal models of NF1 along with uncontrolled clinical observations in children with NF1 suggest that the antioxidant compound, NAC, may reduce these impairments. Therefore, the investigators propose performing a single center double-blind placebo controlled, prospective, Phase II study to explore safety, tolerability, and efficacy of NAC on motor behavior and/or learning in children with NF1 aged 8 through 16 years old. Participants will be carefully monitored for side effects. Primary and secondary outcome measures will be administered at baseline, follow-up, and post-treatment.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of treatment with bintrafusp alfa combined with definitive chemoradiation (carboplatin, paclitaxel and radiation) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.

This is a open-label, multicenter, phase I study to evaluate tolerance and pharmacokinetics of TQB3454 tablets in subjects with advanced solid tumor or hematologic tumor.

The study aims to assess the antibacterial effect and symptoms-relief of Qingfei Granule in the patients with pediatric acute upper respiratory tract infection with bacterial infection.

The objective of this study is to assess the reproducibility of PAXG regimen as first-line/primary chemotherapy in daily clinical practice in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) borderline resectable, locally advanced or metastatic patients out of a large volume center.

A double-blinded, placebo-controlled, prospective, multicenter randomized of 2 active treatment groups, compared to 1 placebo group, for the determination of the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients with rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with mild to moderate asthma, sensitised to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and /or Dermatophagoides farinae.
