Effectiveness

How Rayos Affects Patients

Prednisone belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids. It works by stopping the body from making certain chemicals that cause inflammation, and instead encourages chemicals that reduce inflammation. Prednisone does not stay effective for long periods of time, as its effects only last about 2-3 hours. Corticosteroids are still considered safe to use, but patients should be aware that taking them can leave them more vulnerable to infections and can also disrupt their body's natural production of hormones.

How Rayos works in the body

Prednisone is changed into its active form, prednisolone, in the liver. Prednisolone then affects the body in a few ways. It restricts blood vessels from widening, and stops white blood cells from rushing to sites of inflammation. It also reduces the production of substances that cause inflammation, and increases the production of substances that reduce inflammation. Low doses of prednisolone act as an anti-inflammatory, while high doses suppress the immune system. High doses can also raise sodium levels and lower potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The advised measure of Rayos is contingent upon the recognized condition, comprising of Malignant Lymphomas, Thyroiditis and Tuberculosis Meningitis. The magnitude of dose fluctuates, depending on the method of delivery (e.g. Oral or Solution, concentrate) indicated in the table below.

Rayos for Muscle Pain and Stiffness in Shoulder, Neck and Pelvis

I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica and my doctor recommended Rayos. It's an affordable medication that has helped me a lot. I started with 10mg per day for a few days, then tapered down to 5mg which is what I take now. Almost been a year and I haven't had any problems!

Rayos for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Rayos was the first prednisone steroid that I've tried that actually worked for me. Within an hour of taking my first pill, I started feeling relief from my symptoms. I take it every day at lunchtime and have been happy with the results so far.

Rayos for Rheumatoid Arthritis

I unfortunately experienced weight gain and shaking as a result of this medication. I have gained 8 pounds in one month, which is very concerning to me given that I am diabetic.

Patient Q&A Section about rayos

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does RAYOS make you sleepy?

"Symptoms you may experience include weakness, weight loss, nausea, muscle pain, headache, tiredness, and dizziness."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between prednisone and RAYOS?

"Rayos is a delayed-release form of prednisone, meaning that it takes around four hours for the anti-inflammatory effects to kick in. There are generic forms of prednisone available, but none of them are delayed-release."

Answered by AI

Why is RAYOS taken at night?

"Rayos does not work the same as immediate-release prednisone. Taking Rayos before bed at night allows it to work when cytokines, cells in the immune system, start to increase."

Answered by AI

What is the drug RAYOS used for?

"Rayos is a corticosteroid used to treat many different conditions by reducing inflammation or suppressing the immune system. These conditions include allergies, skin diseases, stomach and intestinal disorders, blood diseases, eye problems, nerve diseases, kidney diseases, respiratory diseases, rheumatologic diseases, and organ transplantation."

Cognitive Stepped Care Program for Brain Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Toronto, Canada

Background: Cognitive symptoms are common and often severe in patients with brain metastases, significantly impacting their quality of life and ability to manage cancer care. Currently, there is no standard approach for routinely assessing and managing these symptoms in oncology clinics. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Cognitive Stepped Care Program (CSCP) in a Brain Metastases Clinic. Methods: This is a prospective, mixed-methods feasibility study involving patients with brain metastases, their caregivers, and clinic staff. Patients will undergo routine cognitive symptom screening using a standardized tool. Based on symptom severity, they will receive tiered interventions ranging from no support, to education materials, to computerized cognitive testing with individualized debrief, with group strategy training and/or neuropsychological consultation, as needed. Patients will complete questionnaires before and after the intervention regarding their symptoms and quality of life. Patients, caregivers and staff will provide their feedback about the intervention through questionnaires and interviews. Outcomes: Primary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability of the CSCP. Secondary outcomes include preliminary changes in cognitive symptoms, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Significance: This study will inform the potential integration of a structured cognitive support program into standard care for patients with brain metastases and may provide a model for similar interventions in other oncology settings.

Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Any Age
Male
Montreal, Canada

Introduction 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT) is an emerging option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, up to half of patients fail to show meaningful clinical benefit with this therapy. A dual-modality strategy seeks to increase dose via complementary external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in underdosed tumor regions. We hypothesize that by combining both modalities (EBRT and RLT) in an hybrid, adaptive approach, we can safely improve skeletal related events when compared to standard-of-care (SOC) 177Lu-PSMA alone. Methodology Adaptive EBRT and RLT for mCRPC (ARREST) is a pragmatic registry-based phase 2, multi-center randomized controlled trial within the PERa prospective cohort (NCT03378856) planned to activate in 2025. Patients who are receiving SOC 177Lu-PSMA with targetable metastatic burden identified on imaging suitable for EBRT will be eligible. One hundred and thirty eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either SOC 177Lu-PSMA therapy alone (maximum 6 cycles) or to combined 177Lu-PSMA plus EBRT boost. Patients in the experimental arm will undergo FDG-PET at study entry and SPECT-CT after each cycle of radioligand therapy. Lesions selected for EBRT boost will be selected based on a set of criteria that include estimated suboptimal dose absorbed from 177LuPSMA, lesions demonstrating low PSMA but high FDG update, symptomatic lesions, and those at high risk for skeletal-related events. Selected lesions will receive single-fraction EBRT. Dose prescribed will range from 6-12 Gy with the ideal goal of a combined total biological effective dose of ≥75 Gy (α/β = 1.4) with priority to dose limits for organs at risk. A maximum treatment time of 60 minutes is permitted for each EBRT boost treatment. Patients in the experimental arm that achieve complete response measured by 177Lu-SPECT-CT and PSA will pause ARREST and resume at progression. The primary endpoint is skeletal related events at 1 year. Secondary objectives include overal survival, 177Lu-SPECT-CT and PSA response, toxicity, and quality of life. The sample size is designed to detect a 12 month imporvement in the rate of skeletal related events with a HR 1.6, two-sided alpha of 0.1 and 80% power. Conclusion ARREST is hypothesized to safely optimize tumor dose, offering a personalized hybrid approach that may lead to improved patient outcomes. In addition, this study will permit further understanding of these two distinct radiation delivery methods and their effect on tissues, thereby refining the relative biological effectiveness model for more precise treatment planning.

Montreal, Canada

The HOW LONG trial is an international, multicenter, Phase IV randomized clinical trial evaluating the optimal duration of adjunctive systemic corticosteroids in immunocompromised adults with severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) who demonstrate early clinical recovery. Participants who no longer require supplemental oxygen by day 10 of corticosteroid therapy are randomized to discontinue corticosteroids at day 10 (or hospital discharge, if earlier) versus continue corticosteroids for a total of 21 days. The trial assesses whether earlier discontinuation reduces steroid-related complications while maintaining clinical outcomes.

All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether disease remission can be maintained when biologic therapy is reduced in patients with Crohn"s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) taking ustekinumab (UST). The main question it aims to answer is: Can we de-escalate UST subcutaneous dose either from every 4 weeks (Q4) to every 8 weeks (Q8) or every 8 weeks (Q8) to every 12 weeks (Q12) in CD or UC patients in deep remission without loosing their response? Researchers will follow UST blood levels, inflammation markers and intestinal mucosa integrity and to see if UST dose can be reduced while maintaining clinical remission. Participants will: Change UST dosing from Q4 to Q8 or from Q8 to Q12. Visit the clinic once every 12 weeks for checkups and tests.
