NCT04274894
Hypogonadism is an endocrine disorder characterized by absent or deficient testosterone levels along with signs and symptoms of androgen deficiency, including delayed development or regression of sexual characteristics, impaired sexual function and sense of well-being, depressed mood, decreased muscle strength associated with loss of muscle mass and reduced bone mineral density. AndroGel 1.62% has demonstrated its ability to increase total testosterone levels in the blood by absorption of testosterone through the skin when applied topically. This study evaluated the effect of AndroGel 1.62% on systolic blood pressure using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypogonadal men who used testosterone replacement therapy. AndroGel 1.62% is a drug used for the treatment of hypogonadism, which is associated with low or no testosterone. This was an open-label study which means that both the study doctor and study participants knew what drug and what dose is being used. All participants in this study were in the same group, called a treatment arm. Adult male participants with hypogonadism were enrolled and received AndroGel 1.62%. This was a multi-center study with 190 participants enrolled (initially planned) in approximately 45 sites in the United States to yield 171 subjects in the per protocol (PP) population. A blinded sample size re-estimation (BSSR) was performed when around 70% of the planned subjects in the PP population had completed the end of treatment visit. Sample size was increased at BSSR and 246 participants were actually enrolled. Participants received daily topical gel doses of AndroGel 1.62% for approximately 16 weeks. There may have been a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants attended 8 study visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic and received 2 study phone calls. The effect of the treatment was checked by medical assessments, blood tests (including pharmacokinetic sampling), and 24-hour blood pressure monitors.
NCT01610557
Background: * Diabetic macular edema is a common eye complication of diabetes. It causes the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye to leak, causing swelling. The macula is the center part of the retina that is important for seeing fine details and for tasks such as reading, driving, or sewing. Swelling of the macula leads to vision loss and possible blindness. Inflammation may play a role in diabetic macular edema. It is also possible that there is a problem with the blood vessels and the blood supply to cells of the retina. * A chemical in the body called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is important in the formation of blood vessels in the body. Lowering VEGF levels may help treat diabetic macular edema by reducing abnormal leaking blood vessels in the eye. Drugs that can lower or block VEGF include ranibizumab and bevacizumab. Both drugs have been shown to help treat diabetic macular edema. Researchers want to see if one of the drugs works better than the other. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of ranibizumab and bevacizumab injections for diabetic macular edema. Eligibility: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have diabetic macular edema in at least one eye. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. A full eye exam will be performed. Blood and urine samples will be collected. * One eye will be selected as the study eye to receive treatment. If both eyes are affected, both eyes may be enrolled in the study and receive different drug treatments. * The main part of the study will last for 9 months. At each study visit, participants will have physical exams and eye exams. They will answer questions about their health and any side effects from the drugs. * Participants will be assigned to one of four groups. Two groups will have two series of ranibizumab and one series of bevacizumab shots. The other two groups will have two series of bevacizumab and one series of ranibizumab shots. A series is three eye injections of the same drug every 4 weeks. The injections will be given at these study visits. The series order will vary for the different groups. * After 9 months, participants will continue to have additional study visits. If the treatment seems to be successful, the study doctor may increase the time between visits. Study injections may be given as needed every 4 weeks for up to 3 years. * Participants may have laser treatments in a study eye if needed. After being in the study for 1 year, they may also have steroid injections or other treatments as directed for the macular edema.
NCT02914301
Prenatal care is defined as preventive healthcare characterized by regular check-ups by doctors or midwives to treat and prevent potential health problems throughout the course of the pregnancy. The investigators propose that a mobile app for prenatal care has the potential to provide patient-tailored, risk-appropriate prenatal educational content and may facilitate vital sign and weight checks between visits. The investigators describe the methods used to develop and test the effectiveness of a mobile app for prenatal care to safely reduce the number of in-person visits to the obstetrician (OB) compared to standard of care.
NCT03181932
This is a multi-center, randomized phase III study to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of AeroVanc in persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
NCT03705663
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a daily pill that greatly reduces the risk of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), however the barriers to PrEP use for women are understudied and PrEP is underutilized by women. Partnering with the DC Department of Health and the DC Center for AIDS Research (DC-CFAR), the overarching goals are (1) to identify and populate the PrEP cascade for women, (2) to provide a blueprint for family planning providers to integrate HIV prevention into their practices and target evidence-based interventions to the women at highest risk for HIV in their communities, and (3) to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this intervention. The overarching hypotheses are that (1) the timeline and roadmap to PrEP adoption and the PrEP cascade will be different for cis-gender women than that described for men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women, (2) women seeking family planning services will be eligible for and interested in PrEP and family planning providers are ideally situated to provide this care, and (3) provision of PrEP in the family planning setting will be cost-effective. This research proposes to evaluate (1) PrEP cascade of events for women (eligibility for PrEP, acceptability/interest in PrEP, access/linkage to a PrEP program, initiation of PrEP, retention, and adherence to PrEP) and (2) the integration of universal screening for PrEP and PrEP provision into a women's family planning clinic. This research will allow for targeted evidence-based interventions to reach women at high-risk for HIV and will provide a blueprint for the implementation of PrEP services in the family planning setting nationally.
NCT04916223
Therapeutic massage is the most common non-traditional treatment option offered to improve quality of life, provide comfort and decrease pain in hospice and palliative care settings outside the hospital. Three systematic reviews of data in general pain, surgical and cancer populations found massage to be effective for treating pain versus active comparators. Given the remarkable negative impact on QOL experienced by patients hospitalized with a serious progressive illness, a nationwide opioid crisis in the setting of public concern for untreated pain, and patient demand for integrative therapies, we wish to investigate non-traditional methods of supporting patients in pain and providing clinicians with viable alternatives. Unfortunately, very little is known about optimal delivery of massage interventions in the hospital setting, including dosing parameters such as time and frequency We conducted a single center comparative effectiveness study to evaluate therapeutic massage "dosing" to improve self-reported quality-of-life in hospitalized patients receiving palliative care consultation.

NCT04559945
prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, international clinical study is designed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Aveir LP System in a subject population indicated for a VVI(R) pacemaker.
NCT02402309
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and exploratory activity of topically-applied NS2 dermatologic cream administered once-daily (QD) to subjects with ichthyosis secondary to Sjögren- Larsson Syndrome (SLS). NS2 is expected to trap fatty aldehydes that are pathogenic in SLS patients, and thereby diminish the lipid-aldehyde adduct formation that likely results in ichthyosis associated with SLS, and potentially reduce the mild dermal inflammation characteristic of SLS.
NCT00864227
A bone marrow transplant, which is a type of stem cell transplant, is a treatment option for people with leukemia or lymphoma. Recently, stem cell transplants using umbilical cord blood have become a treatment option for people with these types of cancers. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a stem cell transplant using umbilical cord blood, along with lower doses of chemotherapy, to treat people with leukemia or lymphoma.

NCT02848781
The current standard of care for ventricular tachycardia (VT) includes the use of medicine called anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) therapy. These treatments are used to terminate the irregular heartbeats and bring the heart back to a normal rhythm. Catheter ablation is a procedure used to eliminate (damage) the heart cells causing the arrhythmia. Patients eligible for this may benefit from an ablation procedure in addition to an ICD to treat their VT condition or risk of developing VT. This study aims to show that treating VT with catheter ablation, if performed preemptively at the time of ICD implantation, will reduce subsequent recurrent VT, ICD shocks, and lead to improved survival.
