Venetoclax SL-401 and Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm

This phase II trial studies how well venetoclax, SL-401, and chemotherapy works in treating patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. Venetoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. SL-401 is a recombinant protein consisting of IL-3 linked to a …

Asian Diabetes Outcomes Prevention Trial

The aim of this study is to identify patients with DM at high risk of CVD using elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels (>125pg/mL), and (2) intensify therapy using renin-angiotensin system (RAS) antagonists, beta-blockers and sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in this high-risk …

Multi-mode Stroke Rehabilitation System: Development and Validation of Clinical Efficacy

The specific study aims will be: To develop the novel, digital, and interactive MSR system of arm and hand with integrated digital action observation therapy (AOT) and mirror therapy (MT). To pilot usability testing for examining the feasibility of this new MSR system from the users' experiences and feedback. To …

The Effect of Time-Restricted Eating in Cardiometabolic Health

Accordingly, the investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial in people with obesity and prediabetes to determine the effect of 9 h TRE for 12 weeks, without a change in body weight, on key metabolic outcomes that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD): 1) multi-organ insulin sensitivity; 2) …

The Young Heart Study

The investigational endpoints of this program will include a variety of CVD risk factors, biomarkers, lifestyle behaviors, quality of life and guideline-based medical regimen. At the end of this phase, we aim to both better understand differences in risk factors and the interventions with the biggest impact in terms of …

Effect of Nutritional Supplementation and Pulmonary Rehabilitation on the Clinical Status of HF and COPD

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the world and our country. The prevalence of Heart Failure (HF) is 1-2% in the adult population in developed countries, up to 10% among people 70 years of age.

Targeting Risk Factors for Diabetes in Subjects With Normal Blood Cholesterol Using Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Every 3 minutes a new case of diabetes is diagnosed in Canada, mostly type 2 diabetes (T2D) increasing the risk for heart disease. T2D and heart disease share many common risk factors such as aging, obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. Paradoxically however, while lowering blood LDL, commonly known as "bad cholesterol", …

The Genetics and Vascular Health Check Study (GENVASC) Aims to Help Determine Whether Gathering Genetic Information Can Improve the Prediction of Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

The Genetics and Vascular Health Check study (GENVASC) is a large study run in conjunction with Clinical Commissioning Groups and Primary Care practices across Leicester, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The purpose of GENVASC is to help determine whether gathering genetic information can improve the prediction of risk of Coronary Artery Disease …
