The purpose of this project is to study the efficacy of triheptanoin oil in patients with Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) due to ATP1A3 gene mutation.

This prospective study will include patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease from disease onset, treated with early systemic high-dose corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy. Clinical and subclinical signs of disease activity added with electroretinogram exams, through pr…

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Miglustat restores the function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in adult patients with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del mutation.

This pilot clinical trial studies cesium Cs 131 brachytherapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back (recurrent) and can be removed by surgery. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or ne…

This research focuses on lung malformations detected in fetuses during prenatal ultrasound exams. Pathogenic mechanisms of these rare malformations are poorly understood. Improved knowledge is needed, to give families better information, and to better standardize treatment decisi…

In this study, positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate sigma-2 (σ2) receptor activity in sites of primary breast cancer using the investigational radiotracer \[18F\]ISO-1.

Fabry disease is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that predominantly affects heart, kidneys and nervous system. Fabry disease has been searched in series of patients presenting different isolated signs caused by the affection of one of these organs. Acroparesthesias and chroni…

This is a long term safety study for patients that have been treated with either ruxolitinib or a combination of ruxolitinib with panobinostat, on a Novartis or Incyte sponsored study, who have been judged by the study Investigator to benefit from ongoing treatment.

This research concerns the contribution of a new examination, high-throughput exome sequencing, in the diagnosis of the cause of polymalformative fetal syndromes. With currently available examinations, the causes of polyformative syndromes, which correspond to the association of …

To study the risk prediction of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) by the clinical bioinformatics and genomic profile.

The pathophysiology of primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which encompass a broad range of different diseases with susceptibility to infection and/or a deregulated inflammatory response, is poorly understood. Available treatments are often not specific for a distinct target and mi…

Phase II trial assessing the efficacy of a reduced dose strategy of darunavir to 400 mg/d in HIV-1 infected patients virologically suppressed under a once daily regimen including darunavir 800 mg/d and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), to maintain the viral …

This study investigates whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC)-a non-invasive technique involving brief cycles of blood flow restriction to the arm-can prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography. Diabetes mellitus incre…

Current methods of measuring the response to new treatments for muscular dystrophies involve the examination of small pieces of muscle tissue called biopsies. The investigators are interested in finding less invasive methods that reduce the need for muscle biopsies. The purpose o…

This study compares outcomes with regard to the timing of resective surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in cancer of the esophagus or gastric cardia. Patients are randomised to surgery either conventional 4-6 or 10-12 weeks after termination of CRT. The study hypoth…

This pilot study is designed to follow up on a previous, preliminary study and test the long-term safety and feasibility of the implantation of autologous peripheral nerve grafts into the substantia nigra, basal forebrain, putamen, and/or STN of participants with PD undergoing de…

Introduction The motor impairment of the upper extremity is the most common sequelae after ischemic stroke. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising non- invasive technique in the rehabilitation of motor deficits. However, its effect in post-stroke motor deficits re…

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether Bispectral Index (BIS)-guided general anesthesia improves postoperative cognitive recovery and overall quality of recovery in adults undergoing elective hand or arm surgery. The main questions it aims to answer a…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death despite huge primary and secondary prevention policies with a strong economic burden. The primary objectives of the ILERVAS project are: (i) to identify unknown factors involved in the presence of at…

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal treatment duration of a novel early mobility training program (dynamic supported mobility, DSM) between 6 to 24 weeks of treatment; and to evaluate the clinical futility of this intervention compared to current rehabilitation …
