These treatment technologies are being evaluated in pilot scale laboratory systems by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Risk Management Research Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio.
All aspects of this protocol have been evaluated in a pilot randomised controlled trial, with subsequent optimisation of the intervention.
This intervention has been evaluated in a pilot study in 1 primary school from the same geographical area as the study setting.
The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Brain Cancer Module has been translated into Korean, but to date, its reliability and validity have been evaluated in a pilot study alone.
The sLL preparation is intended to be used as a reference material for CD4+ cell counting including the development of higher order reference measurement procedures and has been evaluated in the pilot study CCQM-P102.
The efficacy and tolerability of docetaxel in combination with topotecan has been evaluated in a pilot study in 12 patients with recurrent epithelial cancer of the ovary and peritoneum, all of whom had received prior chemotherapy based on paclitaxel and a platinum agent (Aijaz et al, 2000).
Thus identification of agents, particularly endogenous biologicals that stimulate non-CFTR Cl− secretory pathways and promote ASL height recovery while providing anti-inflammatory effects are likely to be of therapeutic benefit in improving mucociliary clearance in patients with CF. The effect of LXA4 inhalation has been evaluated in a pilot study of eight asthmatic and healthy adult subjects.
The photocatalytic degradation in distilled water of 15 selected emerging contaminants (ECs) has been evaluated in a solar pilot compound parabolic collector (CPC) plant by using TiO2 photocatalysts immobilized on glass spheres.
The treatment, which is based on exposure to IBS symptoms and mindfulness exercises, has also been evaluated in an uncontrolled pilot study using a group treatment format, showing similar effects [ 18].
Finally, TCZ has also been evaluated in a small pilot controlled study of Crohn's disease and showed limited efficacy (20% clinical remission without effects on endoscopic and histological changes) at doses of 8 mg/kg every other week.
