Studies have found that, within the first year post-trauma 10-40% of individuals develop symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. Severely injured patients who require a standard inpatient admission are more likely to develop PTSD and benefit less from traditional cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) than patients who are less injured. Behavioural activation was originally developed as a treatment for depression and involves the identification and enactment of activities that are reinforcing for the individual and consistent with their long-term goals. In laymans terms this means getting people to do things which are beneficial, or part of everyday life, which they have been putting off doing because of their depression. In PTSD individuals avoid situations and experiences that may elicit trauma-related memories but such avoidance is believed to reinforce anxiety as people never confront and overcome their fears. Behavioural activation differs from exposure therapy ...

A total of 9 trials (13%) switched from superiority to noninferiority. Among them, 5 trials (7%) conducted noninferiority analyses without prespecified margins. The margins were specified after the analysis of superiority had been conducted (4 trials) or after the start of patient enrollment (1 trial). The other 4 trials (6%) had a prespecified plan of switching from superiority to noninferiority. Three of the 4 trials adjusted for multiplicity by the Bonferroni method, the Hochberg method, or the closed testing procedure.. More than half of the 72 trials accrued 500 patients or more in total, and most had apparent statistical power of 80% or more. However, 11 trials (15%) calculated the sample size as a superiority trial, and 9 trials (13%) calculated it as a noninferiority trial under alternative hypotheses of superiority, that is, that the experimental treatment was slightly better than the control, suggesting potential under power for testing the noninferiority hypothesis.. Alpha error rates ...

We would like to thank Dr Vestbo for his comments. We agree that in the Optimal Trial more patients originally randomised to the placebo arm prematurely discontinued study medications, and that many of these patients were subsequently put on open label ICS/LABA products.1 As discussed in our paper, the relative risk reduction decreased from 21% if patients were prematurely excluded once they discontinued study drugs to 15% when an intent to treat analysis was used.2 We agree with Dr Vestbo that our intention to treat analysis was conservative, and it did slightly reduce the possibility of a difference being found between placebo and active treatment but we would argue that this analysis was necessary in order to prevent bias.. An intention to treat analysis is necessary as it is impossible to know a priori the ultimate direction of the bias when patients who stop study medications early are banished from a clinical trial. Will the bias favour the drug or favour placebo? For example, a similar ...

Background: Although depression is prevalent among Chinese international students (CIS), only 4% of CIS seek treatment. Behavioural activation (BA) has been suggested as a culturally sensitive treatment for depression that has the potential to meet the clinical needs of CIS. The current pilot study tested the feasibility, acceptability and themes for future cultural adaptations of a Chinese translated BA treatment (C‐BA) among CIS. Methods: Six CIS with elevated depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI ≥ 14) completed a six‐session individual C‐BA treatment and assessments at pre‐ and post‐treatment and a 1‐month follow‐up. Primary outcome measures included treatment feasibility, acceptability and qualitative interview data informing future adaption of C‐BA. Exploratory analyses examined group changes in depressive symptoms over time and clinically significant symptom changes on individual levels. Results: All participants found the treatment to be highly feasible ...

This is an interventional, twenty-four week, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial with bromocriptine QR in subjects with newly diagnosed and established type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to evaluate its effects on the cardiovascular and peripheral autonomic nervous system, as well as on inflammatory markers, the leptin/adiponectin system, hormonal levels of RAS and HPA axis, indices of insulin resistance, and measures of oxidative and nitrosative stress. Forty newly diagnosed diabetes subjects and 40 subjects with established diabetes will be enrolled in the study and each randomized to treatment with bromocriptine-QR or placebo.. Secondary endpoints will demonstrate the effects of dopaminergic activation with Bromocriptine-QR on the regulation of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Axis (HPA) axis hormones, on the plasma levels of markers of inflammation and oxidative/nitrosative stress in newly diagnosed vs. established type 2 diabetes subjects. The study will evaluate treatment effects on ...

The present studyis the first to assess, as a primary objective and end point, the overall and cardiovascular safety of a new oral antidiabetes therapy in a large population of patients with type 2 diabetes. The findings from this trial indicate that morning bromocriptine-QR therapy is noninferior to placebo for overall safety. The overall frequency of all-cause SAEs and the proportion of SAEs observed in each SOC among patients taking bromocriptine-QR was noninferior to the frequency among patients in the placebo arm. Furthermore, the frequency of the composite cardiovascular end point was statistically significantly reduced in the bromocriptine-QR group compared with the placebo group. The Kaplan-Meier estimates indicate that among 1,000 patients allocated to bromocriptine-QR, 13 first myocardial infarctions, strokes, coronary revascularizations, hospitalizations for congestive heart failure, or hospitalizations for unstable angina would be avoided over 1 year. Simply stated, 79 patients would ...

BACKGROUND: Challenges remain to find ways to support patients with depression who have low levels of physical activity (PA) to overcome perceived barriers and enhance the perceived value of PA for preventing future relapse. There is an evidence-base for behavioural activation (BA) for depression, which focuses on supporting patients to restore activities that have been avoided, but practitioners have no specific training in promoting PA. We aimed to design and evaluate an integrated BA and PA (BAcPAc) practitioner-led, written, self-help intervention to enhance both physical and mental health. METHODS/DESIGN: This study is informed by the Medical Research Council Complex Intervention Framework and describes a protocol for a pilot phase II randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the feasibility and acceptability of the trial methods to inform a definitive phase III RCT. Following development of the augmented written self-help intervention (BAcPAc) incorporating behavioural activation with ...

therapy. Treatment was continued until disease progression, discontinuation due to adverse events, or withdrawal of consent. Randomization was stratified according to PSA doubling time (≤ 6 months or , 6 months) and use of osteoclast-targeted therapy at randomization. The primary endpoint was metastasis-free survival in the intention-to-treat population, with the presence of metastasis identified by independent central review of radiographic imaging every 16 weeks.. For the darolutamide vs placebo groups, the median age was 74 years in both, most patients were from European countries, PSA doubling time was up to 6 months in 70% vs 67%, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was 0 or 1 in 100% in both, 97% vs 94% were not using a bone-sparing agent at baseline, and 76% of both groups had received at least 2 previous hormonal therapies.. Metastasis-Free Survival. On independent central review, metastasis was found at baseline in 5.2% of the darolutamide group and 7.0% of the ...

Precise measurement of lateral femoral bowing is important to achieve postoperative lower limb alignment. We aimed to investigate factors that affect the precision of the radiographic lateral femoral bowing (RLFB) angle using three-dimensional (3D) models and whether the angle affects surgery design. Forty femurs in total were divided into two groups based on their preoperative RLFB angle. The flexion contracture angle, preoperative and postoperative RLFB angles, and intersection angle between the mechanical and anatomical axes were compared. The angle between the arc and sagittal planes, varus and valgus angles, and intersection angle between the mechanical and anatomical axes were measured on a 3D model. There was no significant between-group difference in 3D model measurements of the angle between the arc and sagittal planes (p = 0.327). There was no significant difference between the mechanical and anatomical axes measured by both imaging modalities (p | 0.258). When the RLFB was |5°, the flexion

An assessment of the people taking part in a trial, based on the group they were initially (and randomly) allocated to. This is regardless of whether or not they dropped out, fully adhered to the treatment or switched to an alternative treatment. ITT analyses are often used to assess clinical effectiveness because they mirror actual practice, when not everyone adheres to the treatment, and the treatment people have may be changed according to how their condition responds to it. Studies of drug treatments often use a modified ITT analysis, which includes only the people who have taken at least 1 dose of a study drug.. ...

A total of more than 1,379 patients were studied in two major clinical trials. Dupilumab was tested against placebo. The main endpoint of the clinical studies was how many doctors rated patient improvement as clear or almost clear. About 36-38% of patients receiving dupilumab achieved a rating of clear or almost clear compared with only 8% of patients receiving a placebo. About half of patients with AD improved at least 75% on the medication compared with only 12-15% on the placebo. The medication improved itching, depression, and quality of life for patients. The clinical trials were pretty convincing. The medication works, and it works well.1. What Risks Are There for Dupilumab?. With all new medications, we have less data. This is something to keep in mind. Sometimes, serious side effects or adverse events are only apparent years after a drug enters the market. There will be a lot of unknowns as doctors have more experience with the medical problems ...

We included data from nine trials including 4328 patients. In the intention-to-treat infected population, we noted a 21% shorter time to alleviation of all symptoms for oseltamivir versus placebo recipients (time ratio 0·79, 95% CI 0·74-0·85; p,0·0001). The median times to alleviation were 97·5 h for oseltamivir and 122·7 h for placebo groups (difference −25·2 h, 95% CI −36·2 to −16·0). For the intention-to-treat population, the estimated treatment effect was attenuated (time ratio 0·85) but remained highly significant (median difference −17·8 h). In the intention-to-treat infected population, we noted fewer lower respiratory tract complications requiring antibiotics more than 48 h after randomisation (risk ratio [RR] 0·56, 95% CI 0·42-0·75; p=0·0001; 4·9% oseltamivir vs 8·7% placebo, risk difference −3·8%, 95% CI −5·0 to −2·2) and also fewer admittances to hospital for any cause (RR 0·37, 95% CI 0·17-0·81; p=0·013; 0·6% oseltamivir, 1·7% placebo, risk ...

This article deals with the dependency(ies) of noninferiority test(s) when the two confidence interval method is employed. There are two different definitions of the two confidence interval method. One of the objectives of this article is to sort out some of the confusion in these two different definitions. In the first definition the two confidence interval method is considered as the fixed margin method that treats a noninferiority margin as a fixed constant after it is determined based on historical data. In this article the method is called the two confidence interval method with fixed margin. The issue of the dependency(ies) of noninferiority test(s) does not occur in this case. In the second definition the two confidence interval method incorporates the uncertainty associated with the estimation for the noninferiority margin. In this article the method is called the two confidence interval method with random margin. The dependency(ies) occurs, because the two confidence interval method(s) with

There was no significant between-group difference in the rates of the primary outcome, which occurred in 686 of 1759 infants (39.0%) who received intravenous immunoglobulin and in 677 of 1734 infants (39.0%) who received placebo (relative risk: 1.00 [95% confidence interval: 0.92-1.08]). Similarly, there were no significant differences in the rates of secondary outcomes, including the incidence of subsequent sepsis episodes. In the follow-up of 2-year-old infants, there were no significant differences in the rates of disability or of adverse events. ...

Results: After 6 months of SLIT (T6), the active group showed a 3-fold improvement in tolerance to Pru p 3 and a significant increase in IgE to rPru p 3 and in sLT production following stimulation with peach peel and rPru p 3. There was also a significant increase in BAT results after stimulation with rPru p 3 at 1 month of SLIT (T1). Statistically significant between-group differences were only observed for BAT with peach peel and pulp at T1 and T6 and for BAT with rPru p 3 at T6. No changes were observed in BAT with rMal d 1 or rMal d 4 or in IgG4 levels to nPru p 3 ...

Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis is the preferable way to look at the results of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). In ITT analysis, people are analysed in the treatment groups to which they were assigned at the start of the RCT, regardless of whether they drop out of the trial, do not attend follow-up, or switch treatment groups.. If follow-up data is not available for a participant in one of the treatment groups, the person would normally be assumed to have had no response to treatment, and that their outcomes are no different from what they were at the start of the trial. This helps to make sure that RCTs do not show that a particular treatment being tested is more effective than it actually is.. For example, if 50 people were allocated to the treatment group of an RCT, perhaps 10 might drop out because they got no benefit. If all 50 were analysed by ITT analysis, with 10 assumed to have had no benefit, this gives a more reliable indication of the effect of the treatment than just ...

The primary conclusion of the trial will be based on the results of the primary outcome. If the result of the primary outcome is not statistically significant, the conclusion will be that there is no significant difference between the interventions. The results on all other types of outcomes will be reported for hypothesis-generating purposes. However, we will inspect the confidence interval (CI) to asses if the CI for the group difference contains values of importance, so that we cannot rule out interesting differences.. The primary analysis will include a modified intention-to-treat population, which is defined as all randomized patients, except patients who did not receive CPB-dependent cardiac surgery [9]. A secondary analysis will include the per-protocol population excluding patients with major protocol violations defined as: 1) patients who were randomized to an intervention but did not receive any intervention; and 2) patients who received an incorrect intervention. The dependent ...

Background: The beneficial effects of interferon have only been shown for patients in the relapsing-remitting phase of multiple sclerosis (MS). The role of interferon in the treatment of patients who are in the secondary progressive phase of the disease (SP-MS), and for whom no effective drug treatment is available, has not been assessed.. Methods: In this multicentre, double-masked, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, out-patients with SP-MS having scores of 3.0 - 6.5 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) received either 8 million IU interferon b-1b every other day subcutaneously, or placebo, for up to 3 years. The primary outcome was the time to confirmed progression in disability as measured by a 1.0 point increase on the EDSS, sustained for at least 3 months, or a 0.5 point increase if the baseline EDSS was 6.0 or 6.5. A prospectively planned interim analysis of safety and efficacy of the intention-to-treat population was done after all patients had been in the study for at least ...

In the BRIM-3 trial, vemurafenib (Zelboraf) was associated with improved progression-free and overall survival vs dacarbazine in patients with advanced BRAF V600 mutation-positive melanoma. In an extended follow-up reported in The Lancet Oncology, McArthur et al found that superior survival outcomes were maintained and were present in both the BRAF V600E and BRAF V600K mutation subgroups.. Study Details. In this open-label trial, 675 patients with treatment-naive BRAF V600 mutation-positive metastatic melanoma from 104 centers in 12 countries were randomly assigned between January and December 2010 to receive vemurafenib at 960 mg orally twice daily (n = 337) or intravenous dacarbazine at 1,000 mg/m² every 3 weeks (n = 338). Patients had to have a life expectancy of ≥ 3 months and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. The coprimary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population, with data censored at crossover. ...

Background In the BRIM-3 trial, vemurafenib was associated with risk reduction versus dacarbazine of both death and progression in patients with advanced BRAF(V600) mutation-positive melanoma. We present an extended follow-up analysis of the total population and in the BRAF(V600E) and BRAF(V600K) mutation subgroups. Methods Patients older than 18 years, with treatment-naive metastatic melanoma and whose tumour tissue was positive for BRAF(V600) mutations were eligible. Patients also had to have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate haematological, hepatic, and renal function. Patients were randomly assigned by interactive voice recognition system to receive either vemurafenib (960 mg orally twice daily) or dacarbazine (1000 mg/m(2) of body surface area intravenously every 3 weeks). Coprimary endpoints were overall survival and progression-free survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat population (n=675), ...

Based on favorable data for 12 weeks of treatment for noncirrhotic patients in the phase 2 SURVEYOR-2 study (100% SVR12 in 34 patients with genotype 4, 5, or 6) (Kwo, 2017b), ENDURANCE-4 enrolled 121 DAA-naive or -experienced (sofosbuvir plus ribavirin ± peginterferon) genotype 4, 5, or 6 patients without cirrhosis to receive 12 weeks of the daily fixed-dose combination of glecaprevir (300 mg)/pibrentasvir (120 mg) administered as three 100 mg/40 mg pills (Asselah, 2018b). Of those enrolled, 86% had fibrosis stage F0 to F1 and 68% were treatment naive. The genotype distribution was 63% genotype 4, 21% genotype 5, and 16% genotype 6. The overall SVR12 rate for the intention-to-treat population was 99% (120/121), including 99% (75/76) for genotype 4, 100% for genotype 5 (26/26), and 100% (19/19) for genotype 6.

We developed an innovative home-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) service that included mailing of a free HIVST kit, and providing online real-time instructions and pre-test/post-test counseling (HIVST-OIC). The present parallel-group and non-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of promoting HIVST-OIC in increasing HIV testing rate among 430 men who have sex with men (MSM), with access to online live-chat applications in Hong Kong. At month 6, as compared to the control group, the intervention group reported significantly higher prevalence of HIV testing of any type (89.8 vs. 50.7%; relative risk (RR): 1.77; p < 0.001). Among those who have taken up any HIV testing in the last six months, significant between-group difference was found in multiple male sex partnerships (34.2 vs. 47.7%, RR: 0.72; p = 0.021). HIVST-OIC has a strong potential in increasing prevalence of HIV testing and reducing sexual risk behaviors. Implementation research is warranted. ...
