The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of vagal nerve neuromodulation in a cohort of patients operated on for Crohn's disease, in a prospective, single centre, cohort study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan monotherapy and belzutifan plus palbociclib combination therapy in participants with advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who experienced disease progression on or after receiving prior therapy. Part 1 will establish the safety of belzutifan plus palbociclib and determine a recommended dosage of palbociclib for the combination therapy by ascending dose escalation. Part 2 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of belzutifan plus palbociclib at the dosage level determined in Part 1.

Background Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by unsafe levels of fluid and waste products accumulating in the body. Often, patients with AKI need treatment with an artificial kidney (called renal replacement therapy or dialysis) to do the work of their kidneys and remove these dangerous levels of fluid and waste from the body. If left untreated, AKI can become a chronic (long-term) condition that may require treatment for life. Dapagliflozin is a medication used to treat patients with diabetes, heart disease and long-term (chronic) kidney disease. Recently, Dapagliflozin has been shown to slow the progression of other kidney related complications, however this has not yet been studied in critically ill patients. Aim To determine if giving Dapagliflozin (one tablet a day) compared to placebo (a tablet that looks identical but has no active ingredients), decreases injury to the kidneys in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Design This study will enrol 3000 patients from 45-50 hospitals worldwide. It is a 'randomised controlled trial' meaning patients will be randomly assigned (like tossing a coin) by a computer to receive either Dapagliflozin or placebo for a maximum of 30 days whilst in the ICU. The study is also a 'double blinded trial' meaning that neither the doctor, the intensive care staff or the patient will know which study treatment they are receiving.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of OncoSil™ when given in addition to standard FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of the study is to find out if the investigational treatment named QUC398 has beneficial effects on osteoarthritis knee pain and knee cartilage, and if it is safe and well tolerated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of escalating doses of RMC-6291 (KRAS G12C(ON) inhibitor) monotherapy in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended Phase 2 dose.

The study is a 2-part study of Tinodasertib alone or in combination with Pembrolizumab/Irinotecan in patients with CRC.

Feasibility of the Vessel Restoration System for AVF

Prospective, multi-center, non-interventional, randomized, comparative clinical study to identify an optimal refractive technique that provides maximum plus refractive endpoint for best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA).

Tibia shaft fractures are common long bone fractures in the field of Orthopaedic Trauma. In the USA, a total of 492.000 tibial fractures were reported per year by the National Center of Health Statistics (NCHS). Intramedullary nailing (IMN) is the treatment of choice for shaft fractures. However, rotational malalignment (RM) remains an iatrogenic pitfall with a prevalence up to 30%. From a clinical point of view, there is limited knowledge on how to avoid RM during IMN. Clinical estimation of tibial alignment is difficult, resulting frequently in RM following IMN. Low-dose CT-assessment is considered the gold standard to objectify RM, but is performed after surgery when the opportunity for direct revision has passed. Both difficulties in intraoperative clinical judgement of tibial alignment as well as postoperative detection of RM when the possibility for direct revision has passed, do support the need for an easy-to-use intraoperative fluoroscopy protocol to minimize the risk for RM during IMN of tibial shaft fractures. Recently, a standardized intraoperative fluoroscopy protocol named the 'C-Arm Rotational View (CARV)' was determined in order to improve the accuracy of alignment control during IMN of tibial shaft fractures. CARV includes predefined fluoroscopy landmarks of the uninjured side to correct for rotational malalignment of the injured side in which the rotation of the C-Arm Image Intensifier is used. Promising preliminary results were found to reduce the risk on RM following IMN of tibia fractures. However, a prospective trial is needed to determine the performance of CARV in clinical practice. Therefore, a prospective multi-center randomized controlled trial is designed to assess the clinical feasibility and potential benefits of the CARV-protocol. The following primary research question was defined: can the risk for RM following IMN of tibial shaft fractures be minimized by use of the CARV-protocol?
