Metabolic Disorder

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the metabolic effects of CORDICOL, a formulation containing Ophiocordyceps sinensis extract (200 mg) and Coenzyme Q10 (50 mg), in adults with mild-to-moderate hypercholesterolemia. The study will compare CORDICOL with placebo, with LDL cholesterol as the primary outcome and additional assessments of lipid and glucose metabolism, safety, tolerability, and quality of life. The study will include a 2-week run-in period followed by a 12-week treatment period. Participants will undergo baseline assessment and randomization at T0, an intermediate safety and compliance assessment at Week 4 (T1), and a final assessment at Week 12 (T2). A remote follow-up will be conducted 30 days after treatment completion (T3) to assess quality of life and any late adverse events. The study will provide clinical information on the potential metabolic effects, safety, and tolerability of CORDICOL in subjects with mild-to-moderate hypercholesterolemia.

Several Drugs used in routine care in oncology induce rare but often severe or fatal cardiovascular or metabolic side effects. This study will investigate, evaluate, report and treat the cardiovascular side effects of anticancer drugs, through a specific cardiovascular routine checkup and follow-up taking place in several Cardio-oncology programs throughout France. The different including centers will be: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP.6: Pitié-Salpétrière, Saint Antoine and Tenon's hospitals, Paris, France).

The investigators will conduct a pilot feasibility and efficacy trial of a newly developed family health communication tool (called Let's Get REAL) in increasing youth involvement in real-time stem cell transplant and cellular therapy decisions (SCTCT). The investigators will pilot the intervention among 24 youth and their parents, stratified by youth age (stratum 1, 8-12 years of age and stratum 2, 13-17 years of age).

The investigators propose to set up a prospective randomized controlled trial to control the security and assess the efficacy of adjuvant treatment by rheopheresis in necrotizing-ulcered calciphylaxis in the hemodialysis population.
