NCT03292432
Youth Living with HIV (YLWH) often face unique challenges achieving high and sustained rates of adherence to their antiretroviral therapy (ART). Poor adherence can lead to unsuppressed virus, more advanced HIV disease and poorer health outcomes, eventually exhausting treatment options. To date however, there are few demonstrated interventions for youth failing first line therapy. This study evaluated a novel intervention that used remote coaching through video enabled counseling sessions, an Electronic Dose Monitoring (EDM) pill bottle that notified an adherence coach when youth failed to open/close the device around dose time, and problem solving outreach by the coach in response to not dosing from the EDM. This intensive 'boot camp' strategy was implemented for 12 weeks followed by observation through 48 weeks.
NCT01517087
Background: \- People with motor neuron disorders have changes in the parts of the brain that control movement. Some tests that are currently used to study these changes are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We don t know if MRI scans and TMS give the same results if done at different times in the same person. Researchers want to see if these tests produce different results if given to healthy adults on two separate occasions. Objectives: \- To test the reliability of different tests of the brain used to study motor neuron disorders. Eligibility: * \<TAB\>Healthy individuals at least 35 years of age who have no history of neurological disorders and take no medications. * \<TAB\>Pregnant women may not participate. Design: * Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. * Participants will have two testing visits 1 to 6 months apart. * The first visit will have three parts. The first part is a neurological exam to test strength, sensation, reflexes, and coordination of movement. The second part will be TMS tests. The third part will involve an MRI scan to study the parts of the brain that control movement. * At the second visit, participants will have MRI scanning only.
NCT02709018
This study is being conducted to determine if losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), is safe and effective in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. The study is also intended to determine if certain genetic markers are useful in predicting PTSD symptom reduction with losartan. Approximately 160 subjects with chronic PTSD ages 18-65 will participate in this study across five sites. Subjects will be assigned by chance to take either flexibly dosed losartan (up to a maximum dosage of 100 mg) or placebo (which resembles the study drug but has no active ingredients), once a day for 10 weeks. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that CC homozygotes for rs4311 SNP in the ACE gene will have a superior response to losartan on PTSD symptoms compared to T carriers.
NCT01963650
The purpose of this study is evaluate the natural course of disease progression related to gross motor function in children with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).
NCT03325816
This research study is being done to assess the safety and tolerability of study drugs, 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera) and nivolumab in subjects with small cell lung cancer or advanced or inoperable neuroendocrine tumor of the lung that has overexpressed somatostatin receptors (SSRT). Lutathera is an investigational radioactive agent that targets tumor cells that express SSRT. Nivolumab is an investigational agent that targets and inhibits a pathway that prevents your immune system from effectively fighting your cancer. The combination of these 2 study drugs is investigational. The term "Investigational" in this context means that the drugs have not been approved for clinical use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Giving Lutathera and nivolumab together may increase the effectiveness of this therapy. We first need to find out the highest dose of Lutathera that can be given safely together with nivolumab. This study will be the first study to test giving Lutathera together with nivolumab. Once we have found the highest dose of Lutathera that can be given with nivolumab, we will treat more patients with this combination to determine how effective it is. The purposes of this study are: To find the highest doses of Lutathera that can be given with nivolumab without causing severe side effects. To find out the side effects seen by giving Lutathera at different dose levels with nivolumab. To determine if the amount of something in your tumor called PD-L1 makes you more likely to have a response to the combination of Lutathera and nivolumab.
NCT04332991
ORCHID is a multicenter, blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial evaluating hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adults hospitalized with COVID-19. Patients, treating clinicians, and study personnel will all be blinded to study group assignment.
NCT01288222
Donors with favorable KIR B haplotype gene content have yielded reduced relapse risk and improved leukemia free survival (LFS) in retrospective analyses of unrelated donor (URD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Specifically, donors with more KIR B gene content and those who are homozygous for the centromeric (Cen) B haplotype genes (as opposed to the telomeric (Tel) genes confer the most protective effect. This study proposes to prospectively test and validate the utility and effectiveness of further informing URD identification and selection by KIR genotyping as a supplement to HLA matching and the other variables known or suspected to indicate the best URD for a patient. Hypotheses: 1. Favorable KIR donors will improve protection against relapse and improve leukemia free survival (LFS) after URD HCT for AML. 2. Directed study procedures for rapid KIR genotyping and reporting to searching Transplant Centers (TC) can inform donor search and selection without delay in donor availability for HCT.
NCT00614744
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial to evaluate whether induced whole-body hypothermia initiated between 6-24 hours of age and continued for 96 hours in infants ≥ 36 weeks gestational age with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy will reduce the incidence of death or disability at 18-22 months of age. The study will enroll 168 infants with signs of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at 16 NICHD Neonatal Research Network sites, and randomly assign them to either receive hypothermia or participate in a non-cooled control group.
NCT02232659
The SynCardia 70cc temporary Total Artificial Heart (TAH-t) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a bridge to transplant for patients at risk of imminent (about to happen) death from irreversible biventricular heart failure. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether the TAH-t can support patients with life-threatening irreversible biventricular heart failure who are not eligible for transplantation. The TAH-t, when used for patients who are not eligible for transplant, is considered to be an investigational (not approved by FDA) use. This use is called destination therapy (DT). Nineteen (19) patients with life-threatening, biventricular failure who are not eligible for cardiac transplant will be enrolled in the Primary Arm of the study and followed for up to six months post-TAH-t implant. Safety will be evaluated by reviewing the adverse events that are experienced by the enrolled subjects and comparing them to previous experience of TAH-t patients who were waiting for a heart transplant. Since approximately 74% of patients with this condition would not be expected to live beyond six months, the benefit of the TAH-t for DT will be confirmed based on survival to six months without experiencing permanent disabling stroke-related deficits. After the six month follow-up visit, patients will continue to be followed under the study for up to five (5) years postTAH-t implant \[every six months for up to two years while supported with the TAH-t implant and then annually for another three years\]. Up to an additional 19 patients may be enrolled in the Secondary Arm of the study to further characterize the use of the TAH-t for DT in a broader patient population. Follow-up would be the same for patients enrolled in both arms of the study.

NCT03888365
This is an observational, multicenter, single-day, Phase 2 study. This study will include a 14-day Screening Period and Study Day 1 clinic visit. Participants will be required to perform an activity to induce symptoms of PAH, and participants' severity of self-reported symptoms of PAH will be measured from pre-activity, immediately after the activity, and through the 30-minute recovery. Participants will be asked about their PAH symptoms using 3 PGI-S questions that address their overall PAH symptoms, shortness of breath, and physical fatigue.
NCT03403036
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of brodalumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in patients who have previously failed treatment with interleukin (IL)-17A therapies. Forty patients will be enrolled in this 16-week open-label study. Patients will receive 210 mg of brodalumab subcutaneous injection at weeks 0, 1, and 2, followed by 210 mg every 2 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the proportion of patients achieving a score of "0-clear" or "1-almost clear" in the sPGA score after 16 weeks of treatment. After completion of the 16-week trial, patients may desire to continue treatment with brodalumab.
NCT01921309

NCT01862536
The functional, social, and economic burden of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) on the healthcare system is extraordinary. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and some estimates attribute up to $33.2 billion in health care costs to COPD-associated morbidity and mortality annually. The burden of COPD to the VA Healthcare system parallels these findings. According to the VA HSR\&D Health Economics Resource Center, COPD ranks 5th among the 40 most common chronic clinical conditions in the U.S. Veteran patient population, is responsible for \>14,000 VA hospital admission annually, and increases by $1,051/patient the total annual health care cost burden on the VA Healthcare system. Importantly, COPD is associated with frequent emergency room visitation and/or hospitalization patients. Pulmonary hypertension is a common co-morbid condition that worsen morbidity and mortality in patients with COPD. This study will examine the potential for tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor to improve functional status by decreasing pulmonary hypertension. Results from this study are expected to define the potential use of PDE-5 inhibitors in COPD-induced pulmonary hypertension. If successful, this treatment option may improve quality of life and outcomes for the large number of Veterans afflicted with PH due to COPD.
