NCT01763866
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of evolocumab administered subcutaneously every 2 weeks (Q2W) and monthly (QM) when used in combination with a statin, compared with placebo, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
NCT00358215
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of treatment of anemia with darbepoetin alfa compared to placebo on the composite of time to death from any cause or first hospital admission for worsening heart failure in patients with symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction and anemia.
NCT04576650
Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) is a devastating condition in which a person has lost the ability to communicate due to motor impairment, while being mentally intact. For people affected by this severe communication impairment, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) may be the only solution that allows these people to start a conversation, ask questions, or request assistance (i.e. self-initiated communication). To-date, spelling was accomplished at a rate of 2-3 letters per minute with a predecessor device (the Medtronic Activa PC+S). To improve BCI performance, the current protocol will use the Medtronic Summit System, which offers a rechargeable battery and improved signal quality relative to Activa PC+S. Using signals from the motor hand/arm and/or motor mouth/face area, the investigators will investigate different avenues to improve the speed of communication using the Summit System. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the Summit System when used to chronically record subdural electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals in a BCI for use by patients with LIS in patients' homes. The secondary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of the Summit System as a long-term source of ECoG signals for a BCI capable of allowing participants to control alternative and augmentative communication software in patients' homes.
NCT02982915
This is a phase I/II, randomized, blinded and placebo-controlled study to test the safety and efficacy of Lomecel-B for improving vaccine immune response.
NCT03921840
It is well recognized that physical activity/exercise is an effective intervention to improve sleep, reduce pain and improve function in a variety of pain conditions. Traditional interventions to increase physical activity are challenging in older adults due to extensive staffing requirements and low adherence. The investigators plan to conduct a pilot trial in a cohort of older adults (without dementia) with both chronic musculoskeletal pain and nocturnal sleep complaints to test the effectiveness of a 12-week personalized behavioral intervention (compared to a control group) embedded within a smartwatch application in older adults. 27 cognitively intact elders were enrolled and randomly allocated to intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention arm received a 2-hour in person education session, and personalized, circadian-based activity guidelines, with real time physical activity self-monitoring, interactive prompts, biweekly phone consultation with the research team, and financial incentives for achieving weekly physical activity goal. The control group received general education on physical activity in older adults and continue routine daily activity for 12 weeks.
NCT02556931
To see if it is possible to use short-duration tacrolimus after a peripheral blood stem cell transplant in certain malignancies that are considered difficult to engraft.
NCT01375764
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with ezetimibe, on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with hypercholesterolemia unable to tolerate an effective dose of a statin.
NCT01782989
This is a prospective, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ORACEA® in the treatment of geographic atrophy due to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
NCT02483078
This is a Phase 2b/3, multi-center, two part study, designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of PRO 140 in conjunction with existing ART (failing regimen) for one week and Optimized Background Therapy (OBT) for 24 weeks respectively. Study population includes treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients with CCR5-tropic virus who demonstrates evidence of HIV-1 replication despite ongoing antiretroviral therapy with documented genotypic or phenotypic resistance to ART drugs within three drug classes (or within two or more drug classes with limited treatment options).The options may be limited as a result of drug antiviral class cross-resistance or documented treatment intolerance.
NCT01099449
RATIONALE: Chemoprotective drugs, such as calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate, may prevent neurotoxicity caused by oxaliplatin. It is not yet known which administration schedule of calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate is more effective in preventing neurotoxicity. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different administration schedules of calcium gluconate and magnesium sulfate and comparing how well they work in neurotoxicity in patients with colon cancer or rectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy.
NCT04457752
A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Clinical Trial, Evaluating the Efficacy of Dual Layer Amniotic Membrane (Artacent®) and Standard of Care versus Standard of Care alone in the healing Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Multi-center, open label, randomized controlled trial. Study is estimated to require 12 months from first subject enrolled to last subject visit.
NCT03352557
The primary objective of the placebo-controlled period is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIIB092 in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or with mild AD. The secondary objectives of the placebo-controlled period are to evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of BIIB092 in slowing cognitive and functional impairment in participants with MCI due to AD or with mild AD, and to evaluate the immunogenicity of BIIB092 after multiple doses in participants with MCI due to AD or with mild AD. The primary objective of the long-term extension period is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB092 in participants with MCI due to AD or with mild AD.
NCT02474173
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose onalespib when given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Onalespib works by blocking proper processing of proteins that are important for cancer growth. This results in inability of these proteins to work properly. Paclitaxel kills breast cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide. Giving onalespib together with paclitaxel may be better than giving either one alone in treating patients with breast cancer.
NCT03479398
This project compares two methods of assessing the quality of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that do not involve directly observing sessions: 1) adherence checklists embedded in clinical notes, and 2) rating the quality of worksheets that are completed with therapist guidance during sessions. It also examines whether ratings of worksheets completed on a mobile app are reliable and valid quality measures. This information can inform strategies to monitor and enhance CBT quality, which can ultimately improve the quality of care and clinical outcomes.
NCT04162769
The purpose of this study is to determine whether etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
NCT01559363
The primary objective of this study Phase 1b was to determine the safety, plasma pharmacokinetics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tesevatinib when administered to participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The primary objective of this study Phase 2a was to evaluate the annualized change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in participants with ADPKD when treated with tesevatinib.
NCT04051944
The purpose of the study is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of weekly doses of rozanolixizumab in subjects with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP).
NCT00911820
There is no clear standard of care for metastatic stomach or esophageal cancer in the United States. The purpose of this research study is to determine the differences between two regimens of chemotherapy; Arm A: PCA (Cisplatin, Irinotecan and Bevacizumab) and Arm B: TPCA (Docetaxel, Cisplatin, Irinotecan and Bevacizumab). Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Irinotecan are traditional chemotherapy drugs. Bevacizumab is an antibody (a protein that attacks a foreign substance in the body). Bevacizumab is believed to stop the formation of new blood vessels that carry nutrients to tumors. Both of the chemotherapy regimens (PCA and TPCA) have been studied in patients with esophageal and gastric cancer, and we are trying to determine if one regimen will keep your cancer from growing and improve how long you can live.
NCT04006964
The diagnosis of a lung function anomaly requires the evaluation of pulmonary function by spirometry. However, some patients (e.g. children, elderly, or diseased individuals) may have difficulty performing the related forced maximal respiratory maneuver correctly. Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) measures lung impedance during tidal breathing, requiring minimal patient cooperation. The purpose of this study is to establish the diagnostic accuracy of FOT parameters alone or in combination with lung volumes in detecting lung function anomalies as compared with spirometry and with the diagnosis made by the physician.
NCT03452293
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of subintimal Supera stenting in complex de novo or re-occlusive CTO (TASC C-D) lesions in patients with CLI. This study will be performed based on a rigorous sample size calculation, which will allow us to have the statistical power to validate our conclusions and therefore establish the generalizability of this strategy.
