Understanding the Health Effect of a Bioactive Peptide From Egg: A Pilot Study
Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins show potential for improving human health. One of such promising peptides is namely IRW made from egg white hydrolysate and composed of three peptides. This is a feasibility study to assess the acute effect of IRW in egg white hydrolysate for the management of …
Fish Oil, Metformin and Heart Health in PCOS
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have high testosterone levels which is associated with altered insulin-glucose metabolism and an adverse blood lipid profile, predisposing them to the development of Type II Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study will investigate the use of dietary fish oil supplementation as a safe …
Phase 1/2 Study of Mirdametinib + Vinblastine for Newly Diagnosed/Previously Untreated PLGG + Activation of MAPK
This is a 3-part open-label study (feasibility phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase) of orally administered mirdametinib in combination with intravenous vinblastine chemotherapy in patients with PLGG with activation of MAPK pathway. Feasibility Phase: The maximum tolerated/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of the mirdametinib plus vinblastine combination will be assessed …
Fibroscan to Guide Post Transplant Immunosuppression Minimization
Following Liver transplantation, recipients remain on life long immunosuppression. Prolonged exposure to immunosuppression is associated with side effects and complications including kidney dysfunction, diabetes, heart disease and cancer risk. Therefore studies are looking at safe ways to reduce or stop immunosuppression. An individual without autoimmune liver disease (these patients are …
Post-Operative Use of FS2 to Mitigate Scarring in Burn Patients
The goal of this study is to see how an ingredient called kynurenic acid (which we named "FS2") affects scar formation in people with burn injuries that need skin graft surgery. A cream with FS2 will be used on both the area where the skin graft was placed and the …
Ultra-Early Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for TN
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefit of Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GK-SRS) as an ultra-early treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The main questions it aims to answer are: will earlier GK-SRS provide more durable pain relief compared to later GK-SRS? will …
Heavy Strength Training in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors
Despite improvements in treatments, head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) still endure acute and chronic side effects such as loss of muscular strength, limitations in physical functioning, fatigue, and swallowing difficulties that impact quality of life (QoL) and limit return to work. Light-to-moderate intensity strength training (LMST) has been shown …
A Study of Lower Radiotherapy Dose to Treat Children With CNS Germinoma
This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin & Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known …
LoW Dose-Intensity vs. Standard Dose-Intensity COntinuous Renal ReplaceMent Therapy in Critically Ill Patients (WISDOM)
An estimated 10-15% of critically ill patients with acute kidney failure in the intensive care unit receive acute dialysis therapy. The majority of these patients initially receive a continuous form of dialysis therapy call continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Prior studies have suggested that higher CRRT dose-intensity improved health outcomes …
Exploring the Use of Phototherapy to Improve CPAP Compliance
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a type of light therapy like lasers and LEDs. PBM was previously known by different terms like "low-level laser therapy" (LLLT) or "photobiostimulation." LLLT, despite its name, can also have effects beyond biomodulation, including thermal effects useful in medical imaging and therapy. PBM works by interacting with …
