Drug Therapy

The population receiving immunotherapy is heterogeneous. Multiple factors, including combination treatment modalities, influence the immune response, and survival outcomes also vary among individuals receiving immunotherapy. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a clinical prediction model that can predict survival outcomes of immunotherapy for malignant tumors, and to assess the calibration and discrimination of this model in a prospective independent cohort.

Background: Throat cancer is a common tumor that can occur in people infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). Most people with this cancer survive more than 5 years with standard chemotherapy drugs plus radiation. But radiation can cause serious adverse effects. Researchers believe that adding a vaccine (PRGN-2009) to this drug therapy may improve survival without the need for radiation. Objective: To test a study vaccine combined with standard chemotherapy in patients with HPV-associated throat cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with newly diagnosed throat cancer associated with HPV. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function and hearing. They will provide a sample of tissue from their tumor. A recent sample may be used; if none is available, a new sample will be taken. All participants will get two common drugs for treating cancer. These drugs are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will receive these drugs on the first day of three 3-week cycles. Half of the participants will also get the vaccine. PRGN-2009 is injected under the skin in the arm. They will get these shots 4 times: 7 days before the start of the first cycle and on the 11th day of each cycle. Participants will have standard surgery to remove their tumors 3 to 6 weeks after completing the study treatment. They will have follow-up visits 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after their surgery. ...

The study wishes to examine whether "extended" antipsychotic treatment, in this case, antipsychotic treatment every other day, is as effective as daily treatment. It is also evaluating whether there may be differences in terms of side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the treatment as usual group (i.e., taking antipsychotic daily) or the extended dosing group (i.e., taking antipsychotic one day on, one day off). That means, like flipping a coin, there is a 50/50 chance that participants will continue on daily dosing of your antipsychotic or have it switched to every other day dosing. This study will last for 1 year. Participants will be evaluated at the beginning and every two weeks during the first 6 months, with visits once every 4 weeks for the final 6 months. In total, participants will make 22 visits over 52 weeks to the investigator's office. The investigators hypothesize that with ED, there will be no change in symptom severity but improvement in the frequency and severity of side effects, wellbeing, and functioning.

This study aims to evaluate how effective trazodone is in treating insomnia in adults aged 65 years and older. The main question it aims to answer is : \- Is trazodone more effective than a placebo in reducing the severity of insomnia symptoms in older adults? Participants will : * Take 25 to 50 mg of trazodone or a matching placebo before bed for 28 days. After a 2-week break, they will then take the other medication for another 28 days. * Visit the clinic three times for checkup and test * Complete a sleep diary and wear an actimeter during the night.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, phase II randomized clinical trial. It is planned to enroll 60 patients with advanced HER2 negative breast cancer, who will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The participants will receive either eribulin combined with bevacizumab or eribulin monotherapy. Every treatment cycle will last for 21 days, with weekly monitoring of blood routine, blood biochemistry and other indicators. Imaging examinations will be conducted every two cycles and the efficacy will be evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 standard. The life quality questionnaire is arranged at baseline and every 3 months after enrollment, and the long-time survival will be followed every 3 months after treatment. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), the secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR) and overall survival (OS). The investigators will also focus on the treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) and quality of life (QoL) assessment. At the same time, this study also aims to explore the resistant mechanisms of anti-angiogenic drugs. The investigators plan to collect peripheral venous blood samples at 3 time points: baseline, during treatment, and end of treatment. All the dynamic samples will be used for transcriptome sequencing to obtain the gene sets. And based on the optimal therapeutic efficacy, all the participants will be divided into response group and non-response group. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis will be subsequently performed between different therapeutic efficacy groups to draw gene interaction networks, identify key action nodes and explain the mechanism of anti-angiogenic drug resistance.
