Project description:The study aims to:
1. Achieve molecular imaging of EGFR in patients with colorectal neoplasia in vivo using confocal laser endomicroscopy.
2. Compare the results of in vivo EGFR-specific molecular imaging with CLE and ex vivo immunohistochemistry .
Project description:<p>The purpose of this study is to discover in vivo cytokine expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) interactions from a cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. 157 lupus patients were enrolled in a clinical trial to test the efficacy and safety of an anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody. At three time points, we measured interferon (IFN) status, anti-IL-6 drug exposure and genome-wide gen expression. We identified 4,818 cis-eQTLs and then observed a statistically significant enrichment of in vivo eQTL interactions with IFN status and anti-IL-6 exposure.</p>
Project description:The study involves the planned use of a new microwave-based device during colonoscopy procedures in a small group of patients to assess the preliminary safety of its use and lack of normal clinical practice modification. The device is a final design version, which has been previously tested in several preclinical studies, including: phantom studies, an ex vivo study with human tissues, and an in vivo study with animal model (pig).
Project description:Prospective study of accuracy of colonic polyp characterisation in vivo using high resolution white light endoscopy, narrow band imaging and chromoendoscopy.
Project description:The study involves the planned use of a new microwave-based device during colonoscopy procedures in 50 patients to assess the performance and safety of its use for detection of colorectal polyps and lack of normal clinical practice modification. The device is a final design version, which has been previously tested in several preclinical studies (including phantom studies, an ex vivo study with human tissues, and an in vivo study with porcine model) and in a pilot study in humans (NCT05477836)
