This is a Phase 2, single-center study designed to determine the effect of ECOHAIR topical solution on scalp hair growth evaluated objectively ( images) and subjectively ( patient and investigator reports). A total of 22 subjects are planned to be enrolled, 15 in a prospective single-arm phase in which they will receive the study treatment and 7 controls. Patients should have a clinical diagnosis of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled safety, tolerability and efficacy study of VRDN-001 in participants with chronic thyroid eye disease (TED)

Brain metastasis of lung cancer is one of the most important metastasis pathways in patients with life-threatening diseases. This study explore the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combining with platinum-containing drug chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of Lung Adenocarcinoma With Asymptomatic Brain Metastatic. Meanwhile, Related biomarkers were explored to provide theoretical basis for efficacy evaluation and resistance mechanism.

The purpose of this study is to analyze esophageal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant immunotherapy with chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy to determine whether additional adjuvant therapy is associated with improved survival outcomes.

This is a single-arm, single-center, interventional, dose-escalation clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of QH103 Cell Injection in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Hypothesis: Survival benefits could be found in Sintilimab plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer.

In this first-in-humans dose escalation study, SA55 will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. The study is intended to enable future studies of SA55-injection's efficacy in preventing and treating COVID-19.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to administer a sodium pyruvate nasal spray that eliminates nasal oxidative stresses, caused by oxygen radicals, and demonstrate the efficacy of sodium pyruvate to reduce coughing and increase lung functions in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This will be a 21-day double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial designed to determine if patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with 20mM sodium pyruvate in 0.9% sodium chloride nasal spray solution will have reduced chronic coughing, as well as increased lung function (FEV1, FVC endpoints of 12% or more within the first week) and improved FEV1/FVC ratios.

This clinical trial evaluates the effects of an empty bladder versus (vs.) a full bladder prior to undergoing a computed tomography (CT) simulation for radiation therapy in patients with prostate cancer. Radiation therapy is a commonly used treatment for men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prior to initiation of a course of radiotherapy, all patients with prostate cancer undergo a CT simulation that allows for computer-based optimization of radiation dose delivery to the target tissue (i.e., prostate) and simultaneous dose minimization to surrounding normal tissues, such as bladder and rectum. Patients are typically given standard instructions for preparation to present with a reproducible full bladder at the time of CT simulation and for each subsequent radiation treatment appointment. The goal of bladder distension is to displace portions of the bladder and bowel away from the highest dose radiation delivery to the prostate. However, as typical urinary symptoms related to radiotherapy develop during treatment, some patients are unable to reproduce the bladder distention achieved at the time of CT simulation. This can result in increased daily treatment time, sub-optimal reproducibility of patient internal anatomy, and increased stress for patients and radiation therapy staff. This trial will evaluate the effects of an empty bladder vs. a full bladder prior to CT simulation and radiation therapy in patients with prostate cancer and how it effects patient reported outcomes.

Clinical High-Risk (CHR) for Psychosis is characterized by the occurrence of unusual stressful experiences (attenuated psychotic symptoms, APS), anxious symptoms, psychological distress, and substantial impairment of the subject's daily functioning. It is estimated to be associated with up to 30-35% risk of evolution to frank psychotic disorder within 2-2.5 years. To date, no psychotherapeutic or pharmacological approaches have shown therapeutic evidence in this group of patients. The aim of this study is to provide a response to an unmet clinical need in this framework of psychic vulnerability by initiating oral therapy with palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a nutraceutical/food supplement with proven anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Indeed, many conditions of psychological distress are thought to be underpinned by systemic inflammatory and/or neuroinflammatory processes, on which PEA has shown remarkable efficacy, including through modulation of the immune response and the interaction between the endocannabinoid system and the gut-microbiota-brain axis. The trial we are proposing is a 12-week open-label phase 2 study involving the daily intake of PEA 600 mg, at a dosage of 1 tablet/day. This study will be conducted at the Unit of Psychiatry of Santa Maria della Misericordia Udine University Hospital. Through this study, we wish to evaluate: the ability of PEA to alleviate APS, anxiety, and psychic distress in CHR-APS individuals; the safety and tolerability of sustained intake of PEA in CHR-APS individuals; and the biological basis of PEA functioning. The study involves taking PEA orally once daily (600 mg daily) at the same time as a meal during the initial 12-week phase. Upon completion of the initial phase, subjects will be offered to enter an extension phase of the trial of an additional 24 weeks to assess treatment stability, with the possibility of titration of PEA to 1200 mg daily based on observed clinical compensation. Each participant will be on PEA treatment for up to 36 weeks. During the course of the study, periodic clinical re-evaluations will be conducted at our Day-Hospital setting. The trial will unfold through one screening visit, one baseline visit, and two follow-up visits (FUP, 4 weeks and 12 weeks apart). The patient will be administered standardized interviews by a qualified investigating physician; clinical objective examination, collection of blood and urine samples for standard hematochemical investigations, collection of blood and stool samples for analysis of some biological markers of interest, monitoring of adherence to therapy intake, side effects, and adverse effects will also be performed during the follow-up visits. The nutraceutical PEA will be dispensed by the clinical investigators at each follow-up visit.
