Clinical trial in nephrology at hard end point?
The clinical trial as it is conceived today has the purpose of evaluating a treatment strategy for a given disease according to a set of more or less strict rules. These rules have been narrowed in the last decade to ensure that the outcome of the trial can be interpreted with success and preferably in only one way. This interpretation should then lead to a new therapeutic strategy for the give...
متن کاملVaccine-induced apoptosis: a novel clinical trial end point?
The functional end point of immunotherapy is to induce tumor regression. Because immune effector mechanisms usually result in apoptosis, the aim of this study was to determine whether measurement of tumor apoptosis ex vivo is a good end point to evaluate the efficacy of cancer vaccines. A prototype vaccine, 105AD7, was administered to colorectal cancer patients before resection of their primary...
متن کاملWhat's the (end) point?
Clinicians caring for children or adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) face a number of challenges, not the least of which is determining whether a patient has met treatment targets based on changes in a given test (such as the 6-min walk distance (6MWD)) and whether these changes translate to meaningful improvements in that patient's quality of life or survival. While several trea...
متن کاملVariable End Point Problem
The variational derivative of a functional J[y] can be defined as δJ/δy = F y (x, y, y ′)− d dx F y ′ (x, y, y ′) [1, pp. 27–29]. Euler's equation essentially states that the variational derivative of the functional must vanish at an extremum. This is analogous to the well-known result from calculus that the derivative of a function must vanish at an extremum. In this section, we consider a sim...
متن کاملEnd-point nystagmus.
Infrared oculography was performed during sustained lateral gaze in 12 normal subjects to investigate end-point nystagmus while fixating a target light. Five failed to develop nystagmus despite deviation up to 40 degrees from 4 to 5 min. Six subjects developed nystagmus immediately or shortly after reaching the deviated position. In one, the nystagmus (0.5 degrees to 1 degree and 1.0 Hz) began ...
