This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dipraglurant in PD patients with dyskinesia (randomized 1:1 to receive active or placebo) for 12 weeks (1 week at 150 mg per day and 11 weeks at 300 mg per day). The primary efficacy assessment will be based on the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS). Patients who complete the 12-week blinded treatment period may have the option to roll into an open-label safety extension study for an additional 12-month treatment period.
NCT05327608
A phase II study to evaluate an innovative approach of following time restricted eating (TRE) in patients with HER2- negative breast cancer who will start neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) for a new diagnosis of stage I-III breast cancer. Participants at baseline will have a body mass index (BMI) of (25-40) and engage in a TRE 16:8 schedule which includes 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating. Patients will continue TRE for 16 weeks while receiving NCT. For patients who report at the time of the 2-3 week clinic visit that they are finding it challenging to adhere to the 16:8 TRE, instructions will be provided about alternative measures such as changing the time of the day they fast, dietary modifications and finally changing to a 14:10 schedule if other measures fail. For patients requiring NCT for longer than 16 weeks, they will be encouraged to continue TRE. Adherence calculation for the primary endpoint will include data for the first 16 weeks, and then monitored separately for any additional optional fasting beyond the first 16 weeks. Adherence to TRE will be self-reported by patients daily through electronic surveys through RedCap and approximately every 2-3 weeks (+/- 5 days) by the research team during their clinic visit.

NCT07076303
Background Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), leading to irreversible vision loss. Current treatment strategies often involve medications, which can be challenging for patients due to adherence issues and side effects. Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) represents a potential surgical alternative for managing IOP in patients with naive, untreated glaucoma. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of DSLT in achieving significant IOP reduction without the need for postoperative medications. Unmet Medical Need: Overview of DSLT Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) is an emerging technology in glaucoma management that combines laser techniques to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). While it works off the auspices of a previous technology (SLT), the method of delivery is significantly different. Current Research Landscape Most existing studies focus on patients who have already received other forms of treatment or who have more advanced glaucoma. This creates an unmet need to evaluate how DSLT can be effectively integrated into the management of patients at the very beginning of their glaucoma journey. Understanding its efficacy in this population is crucial for establishing best practices and improving long-term outcomes. Interventional Glaucoma Management vs. Standard of Care Standard of care for newly diagnosed glaucoma typically involves medications, such as topical prostaglandin analogs, which can have side effects and may not be effective for all patients. In contrast, interventional glaucoma management-such as DSLT-offers a potentially more direct approach to lowering IOP without the need for ongoing medication. Investigating DSLT in this context could lead to a paradigm shift in how newly diagnosed patients are managed, reducing their reliance on medications and potentially improving adherence and quality of life. Conclusion Addressing this research gap will not only help clarify the role of DSLT in early glaucoma management but could also enhance patient outcomes and guide future treatment protocols. Focusing on newly diagnosed patients is essential for determining the long-term benefits and risks associated with this innovative technology.

NCT05790668
Destructive behavior represents a comorbid condition of developmental disability for which risk increases with intellectual disability severity, communication deficits, and co-occurring autism spectrum disorder. Destructive behavior, such as self-injurious behavior and aggression, causes harm to the child and others and increases the risk for institutionalization, social isolation, physical restraint, medication overuse, and abuse. Clinicians have used functional analyses to identify the variables that reinforce destructive behavior and to develop effective, function-based treatments. Functional communication training (FCT) is an empirically supported, function-based treatment that decreases destructive behavior. Using FCT, the clinician teaches the child to use a functional communication response (FCR) to request the reinforcer maintaining destructive behavior, while placing destructive behavior on extinction. For example, if functional analysis results showed that attention reinforced destructive behavior, the clinician would provide attention when the child used the FCR ("Play with me, please") and would not provide attention for destructive behavior. Two limitations of FCT are that (a) schedules of reinforcement maintaining the FCR must often be thinned gradually to levels that are practical for caregivers to implement consistently in the home and in the community, and (b) this necessary process of reinforcement schedule thinning regularly causes destructive behavior to increase following initially effective treatment, a form of treatment relapse called resurgence. The current project aims to improve these limitations of FCT by (a) hastening the process of reinforcement schedule thinning by removing unnecessary schedule-thinning steps using the results of a progressive interval assessment and (b) mitigating the resurgence of destructive behavior by providing stimuli that highly compete with the reinforcer maintaining destructive behavior. The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the extent to which these two promising refinements to FCT improve the process of reinforcement schedule thinning, and an exploratory experiment will examine the interactive effects of these two approaches. This novel project has the potential to substantially improve standards of care guiding the treatment of severe destructive behavior and to improve the long-term outcomes for children and families afflicted by these debilitating behavior disorders.

NCT06312683
Although many people will develop recurrent pouchitis (inflammation of the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis or J-pouch after colectomy for ulcerative colitis) after an initial episode of pouchitis, there are currently no effective treatments to prevent recurrent pouchitis. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential for rifaximin, an antibiotic, to prevent recurrent pouchitis after treatment for an initial episode of pouchitis. In this study, all patients will be given daily rifaximin for one year after being treated for an initial episode of pouchitis. This study will examine whether people are willing to take rifaximin for one year with the goal of preventing recurrent pouchitis. Additionally, this study will examine whether patients experience any unexpected side effects of rifaximin therapy. The information gained through this study will potentially be helpful in improving the ability to prevent recurrent pouchitis in patients who have a colectomy for ulcerative colitis.

NCT03776162
This study is designed to evaluate bridge-enhanced ACL restoration (BEAR), a new surgical technique for repairing knees injured by a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that promotes reattachment and healing of the ACL using a blood-enriched implant. BEAR will be compared to bone to patellar tendon to bone autograft (BPTB) reconstruction, a standard ACL surgical reconstruction technique that replaces a torn portion of the ACL with transplanted patellar tendon tissue, and thus requires additional invasive patellar tendon removal and reuse as a portion of the ACL surgery, in a two group randomized clinical trial (RCT) in which participants will have equal chance of receiving BEAR or BPTB reconstruction. The BEAR technique is FDA approved and involves surgically placing a sponge (the BEAR implant) between the torn ends of the ACL, providing an absorbable implant for the ligament ends to grow into. The investigators hypothesize that the ACL repair with BEAR technology will achieve results not appreciably worse than BPTB reconstruction, with a reduced burden of invasive surgery, when assessed over the first two post-operative years. Animal studies suggest BEAR may also ameliorate longer-term premature osteoarthritis of the knee, a common consequence of ACL reconstruction surgery. However, no human data yet support that, and this trial will conclude before such a benefit can be observed. All patients 18-55 years of age who are candidates for ACL surgery within 50 days of the ACL injury and who present to surgeons participating in the study will be offered participation in the trial. Patients will be randomized and will undergo specified rehabilitation protocols post-operatively with primary assessments of knee laxity and patient reported measures at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
