NCT03250819
Glaucoma is one of the most prevalent eye diseases and the second most common cause of blindness worldwide. The most common form is primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Glaucoma is a slowly progressing neuropathy of the optic nerve that causes loss of visual field and eventually blindness. Elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP) is the most important risk factor. Corticosteroids, which are often used for the treatment of many diseases in ophthalmology and other specialities, may cause an elevation of the IOP. It is estimated that corticosteroids induce ocular hypertension in approximately 18%-36% of the general population and in patients with POAG this percentage can be as high as 92%. When the treatment is sustained, this can cause a glaucomatous neuropathy of the optic nerve (corticosteroid-induced glaucoma). The precise pathogenic mechanism isn't clear yet. Genetic factors are likely to affect the susceptibility to corticosteroid response. Therefore, an overview of the genetic mechanisms of corticosteroid-induced glaucoma can give more insight in the pathogenesis. In this study the researchers investigate the occurrence of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in 150 cases with a steroid-response in comparison with 300 controls exposed to corticosteroids without a steroid-response. Up to now, one small GWAS has been conducted comparing 32 patients with and without corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension after treatment with intravitreal triamcinolone. In this study, two SNPs proximal of the transcriptional start site (near the 5') of HCG22 on chromosome 6 were identified. However, this is a rather small sample population and the investigators didn't match for the underlying disease. Further, in another small study, Hogewind et al. performed SNP analysis in multiple genes (SFRS3, FKBP4, FKBP5, and NR3C1) in corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension. This study enables the investigators to identify patients at risk for developing corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and to gain a better insight in the pathogenesis. This may also lead to the discovery of biomarkers that indicate an increased risk of developing a steroid-induced glaucoma and new prevention and treatment strategies, which are necessary as the treatment of corticosteroid induced-glaucoma now only focuses at lowering the IOP and can still be challenging.
NCT03403712
Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, stratified study assessing the safety and describing the efficacy of a single dose of intravenous (IV) fosnetupitant/palonosetron (260 mg/0.25 mg) infusion \[test\] versus oral netupitant/palonosetron (300 mg/0.5 mg) combination \[control\]; each administered with oral dexamethasone prior to initial and repeated cycles of AC chemotherapy in female breast cancer patients.

NCT03227809
Alcohol abuse is the leading cause of death and serious injury among college students, and students also experience significant harms from other types of substance misuse and risk behaviors. The proposed project is a randomized controlled trials that will test the protective effects of Letting Go and Staying Connected, a handbook for parents of students who are transitioning for the first time from home to college, the time when students are at greatest risk. The handbook encourages parent skill development and good management of their student's new independence, providing a clear framework to guide them in parenting at this stage. Targeted outcomes include reduction of substance use and risk behaviors. The primary hypothesis is that students who are in one of the two handbook conditions with their parents will report lower substance use and risk behaviors in the two years after college entry.
NCT04226482
Single-use medical instruments are intended by the manufacturers for single-use only or for single-patient-use only. Nevertheless, single-use instruments are being reused more than once in many countries around the world. The reasons are mainly economic in developing countries and environmental in developed countries. Concerns are being raised regarding reused instruments sterility and efficacy. Since there is paucity of evidence on safety of multiple use of single-use instruments in surgery, we decided to conduct a clinical study comparing the same surgical procedure performed with new versus reused surgical instrument. We decided to study laparoscopic appendectomy which is a simple and the most common emergency surgery. Instrument under the scrutiny is ultrasonic scalpel which uses high-frequency ultrasound vibration for coagulating and cutting tissue. In the studied period of time, all eligible patients with acute appendicitis will be randomized in two groups, first having surgery with new device and the second having surgery with reused device. Removed appendix will be analyzed for lateral thermal damage and the patients will be followed-up for one month for potential differences in clinical outcomes like pain-killers consumption, length of stay and postoperative complications.

NCT04380025
A prospective, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical study will be conducted with an estimated 72 participants. The objective of this study is to determine if Mirtogenol has an additive effect on the reduction of intraocular pressure when combined with bimatoprost in the Hispanic population with primary open angle glaucoma. Baseline clinical data will be collected for each participant and they will be randomized 1:1 to a treatment group (bimatoprost 0.01% and Mirtogenol) or control group (bimatoprost 0.01% and placebo). Efficacy and safety of Mirtogenol will be measured during the 24 week study. Participants will be evaluated in five visits: screening and baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12 and week 24. The tests that will be performed include visual acuity, visual field evaluation, applanation tonometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and pachymetry. Side effects or adverse effects will be reported and evaluated by the ophthalmologist at each visit to access the safety of Mirtogenol. The primary efficacy endpoint of intraocular pressure (IOP) will be compared using a t-test and will have an 80% probability to detect a difference between treatments at a 0.05 significance level.
NCT02289417
