A Study of the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Danicamtiv in Adults With Symptomatic Genetic and Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Danicamtiv is an investigational medication, which means it is still being studied and has not been approved. The purpose of this study is to learn how well danicamtiv works, how safe it is, how well people can take it when used in patients with genetic or familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). There are currently no approved medicines made specifically to treat genetic or familial DCM.
The Effects of Naturalistic Light on Post Stroke Complications Related Brain Areas in Stroke Patients During Admission for Rehabilitation.
Background: Light is the most important regulator of circadian rhythm. Naturalistic light, which contains the spectrum of sunlight throughout the day, has been shown to have a positive impact on mental states such as depression and fatigue in stroke and other diseases requiring long-term hospitalization. Depression and fatigue are very common complications after stroke, with a frequency of 30% and 85%, respectively. Both are significantly related to reduced quality of life and early death. Both the causes and pathophysiology behind these complications are unknown, but it is assumed that disturbances (inflammation and cell death) in brain areas and brain networks related to arousal, sleep, circadian rhythm, and the frontal lobe play a role. The hypothesis is that it is possible to detect changes in brain networks related to depression and fatigue by MRI, and that naturalistic light will affect these changes. Method: Stroke patients requiring a minimum of 10 days of rehabilitation are transferred to a neurorehabilitation unit with naturalistic lighting. Examination: Validated tests for fatigue, depression, sleep and cognitive functions. Pathophysiological studies: * MRI focusing on cerebral blood flow, metabolism, and cerebral networks. * Spinal fluid analyses for hormones and markers involved in immunological response as well as wakefulness/arousal and depression. * Sleep assessments.
International Study for Treatment of High Risk Childhood Relapsed ALL 2010
The main goal of this study is to improve the outcome of children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high risk first relapse by optimization of treatment strategies within a large international trial and the integration of new agents.
Cohort of IPF Patients Experiencing an Exacerbation
Extension of the PFBIO cohort which includes patients with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for longitudinal follow-up for up to 5 years. In the PFBIO-EXA extension, patients are included if they experience an exacerbation, or other increase in respiratory symptoms requiring hospital admission, for further collection of clinical and biological data.
A Study in Leukemia Patients With Karonudib
The primary objective of this study is to determine safety and tolerability of Karonudib for the treatment of hematological malignancies. Secondary objectives are to determine a recommended RP2D and schedule for further development of Karonudib, to determine the pharmacokinetics of Karonudib, to look for evidence of treatment efficacy. Overall survival will also be recorded.
Effect of Weight Loss on Physical and Cardiac Performance in People With Obesity and Heart Failure
The benefit of weight loss in patients with obesity and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is controversial. Semaglutide has shown cardiovascular (CV) risk-reduction and impact on CV risk factors including overweight, dysglycaemia and hypertension in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The STEP-HFpEF (Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People With Obesity and HFpEF) recently demonstrated, at 1-year, to not only reduce weight considerably, but also significantly improve health-related quality of life, functional status scores and 6-min walk distance in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also, the recently concluded SELECT trial was the first CV outcome trial with semaglutide in patients with overweight or obesity and established CV disease, including heart failure (but no T2D). Semaglutide demonstrated a 20% reduction in MACE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. These landmark findings have important implications for clinicians -as they mean that weight loss and/or semaglutide as anti-obesity pharmacotherapy could be a treatment strategy for secondary prevention of CV disease in patients with overweight or obesity. It is, however, unknown whether weight loss with either calorie-restricted diet or semaglutide has beneficial effects in obese subjects with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. Also it is unclear whether semaglutide has cardiovascular benefits irrespective of starting weight and amount of weight loss. Purpose: The study aims to investigate whether weight loss treatment with semaglutide is superior to weight loss with calorie-restricted diet in improving peak oxygen uptake in patients with obesity and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety of INCA33890 in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and DLTs and determine the MTD and/or RDE(s) of INCA33890 in participants with select advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Recombinant Herpes Zoster Vaccine for Prevention of Cardiovascular Events and Dementia
DAN-ZOSTER is a nationwide randomized study investigating whether vaccination against herpes zoster (shingles) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia in older adults. Herpes zoster is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus and becomes more common with increasing age. Some observational studies have suggested that vaccination against herpes zoster may also lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and dementia, but this has not been confirmed in randomized clinical trials. In this study, approximately 162,000 adults aged 65 years or older living in Denmark will be randomly assigned to either receive the recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (Shingrix®) or receive no vaccine. Participants in the vaccine group will receive two doses given 2-6 months apart. Participants will be identified and invited using Danish national registries and digital mail systems. Information about health outcomes will be collected through nationwide health registries during follow-up. The main outcomes of the study are major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death) and new diagnoses of dementia. The goal of the study is to determine whether herpes zoster vaccination can help prevent these conditions in older adults.
Comparison Between Chromoendoscopy and Virtual Chromoendoscopy (NBI, I-scan, FICE) for Detection of Neoplasia in Long Standing Ulcerative Colitis
The risk for colon cancer in patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis exceeding the rectum is increased and therefore patients should be enrolled in a surveillance program eight years after the diagnosis. Until today, official international guidelines for endoscopic screening in patients with ulcerative colitis advise to take 4 biopsies every 10 centimeters (with a minimum of 32) and of each suspected visible lesion. These guidelines are merely based on consensus during expert opinion meetings rather than evidence based. Recent studies have shown that chromo-endoscopy guided biopsies significantly reduced the number of biopsies for each procedure and detected more neoplastic lesions. Chromo-endoscopy is therefore considered the gold standard in this study in which we want to compare it to the performance and efficiency of new endoscopic imaging techniques. Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) selectively uses certain wavelengths of the visible light leading to a shift in the excitation spectrum towards blue light. The first studies with NBI showed that the additional value of NBI in the detection of neoplastic lesions is comparable to chromo-endoscopy, but time saving and easier to perform. The Fujinon Intelligent Chromo-Endoscopy (FICE) system uses a similar theoretical principal as NBI but this is achieved via the use of post hoc computer algorithms, applying different filters to the stored endoscopic images and enabling a theoretically endless number of combinations of filters that can be used. The Pentax I-scan system also allows post hoc modification of the images. On the one hand, surface enhancement enables to better highlight mucosal changes. Spectral modification allows to apply different modes in analogy with to FICE system. These new imaging techniques have a theoretical advantage which is extendedly used for sales purposes but has however so far not been proven in ulcerative colitis patients. We want to test their clinical use in the screening for neoplastic lesions in patients with long standing ulcerative colitis.
