This study is conducted to assess the retention rate of Fycompa when given in routine clinical care.
NCT03189121
Background: Increases in obesity, diabetes, and some metabolic disorders may be linked to how much processed foods people eat. Researchers want to learn more about how processed foods affect metabolic health. Objective: To learn about how a processed versus unprocessed diet affects the body. Eligibility: Men ages 18-50 with stable weight and risk factors for diabetes Design: Participants will be screened over 3 visits. Screening includes: * Medical history and physical exam * Heart and blood tests * Psychiatric questions * Questions about eating, sleeping, and economic status * Riding a stationary bike * Trying a sample meal Between screenings, participants will eat prepared meals. They will wear an accelerometer to measure physical activity. They will write down what foods they eat and monitor their weight. Participants will have two 4-week stays in the clinic. They will: * Eat a special diet * Have activity and weight monitored * Drink water and collect urine samples to measure how many calories they are burning * Have resting energy expenditure measured with a clear hood over the head * Have a scan to measure body fat and bone density using low-dose x-rays * Have a scan on a table that slides into a metal cylinder in a strong magnetic field. They will get earplugs for the loud noises. * Have an ultrasound test to measure blood vessels * Have insulin and glucose infused into an arm vein. Blood will be taken over 10 hours through a plastic tube in the wrist. This will happen 4 times. * Spend multiple 24-hour periods in a room that measures oxygen used and carbon dioxide produced. * Give blood, urine and stool samples * Answer questionnaires and do computer tasks
NCT00923390
Background: * An experimental cancer treatment procedure involves taking a patient s own tumor or blood cells, modifying them with a gene that targets proteins on the surface of tumor cells, and growing those cells in a laboratory. The modified cells are then given back to the patient by intravenous (IV) transfusion, in the hope that the new cells will attack and destroy the cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. * This procedure has been used for melanoma patients, and researchers are now attempting to use this treatment for patients with renal (kidney) cancer. In the laboratory, this attack kills nearly all kidney cancers tested, but not normal tissues. However, the effectiveness and possible side effects of this treatment are still being studied. Objectives: * To find out if cells modified to target DR4 and TRAIL (two proteins found on the surface of many kidney tumors) are effective in treating kidney cancer. * To determine the maximum tolerated dose (the highest dose that does not cause unacceptable side effects) of the modified cells. Eligibility: * Patients 18 years of age and older with metastatic renal cancer whose disease has not responded to standard treatment. * Patients will be divided into two study branches: Arm A for those who will be receiving modified cells from their biopsied tumor, and Arm B for those who will be receiving their own modified white blood cells. Design: * Five-stage treatment process, outpatient for stages 1 and 5 and inpatient for stages 2 through 4: * Work-up (1 to 2 weeks): Physical examination, heart and lung function tests, imaging tests, blood and/or tumor samples taken. * IV chemotherapy (1 week): Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine to prepare for the new cell infusion. * IV cell infusion and treatment with IL-2 to support the modified cells (4 days). * Recovery (1 to 2 weeks): Recover from effects of chemotherapy and infusion. * Follow-up (every 1 to 6 months): Return to clinic for physical exam, review of side effects, other tests. * Follow-up evaluations will continue to determine the success of the treatment. * Evaluations during the treatment period: * Physical examination, including vital signs and body weight checks, and pregnancy test for women who can become pregnant. * Blood and urine tests. * Disease evaluation and monitoring on both inpatient and outpatient basis. * Because researchers do not know the long-term side effects of gene therapy, patients will be asked to participate in long-term follow up for up to 15 years. The follow-up will involve yearly physical exams and medical history, and blood collection (3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, and every year after that).
NCT03332147
This study compares both of the investigational device and reference device to the gold standard Patient Monitor of the accuracy of heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring. The primary variables for the analysis of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) are each of the overall mean roots mean square difference (RMSD). Results of the investigational device and reference device compared with the patient monitor is evaluated to see if there are equivalent. Motion and bed exit accuracy will be evaluated by comparing with the manual observation.
NCT00772317
For the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer following failed external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
NCT02275091
Patients with type 1 diabetes type 1 (DM1) have increased risk of death due to heart disease and stroke. These cardiovascular conditions (CVD) are the leading cause of death in patients with DM1 younger than 40 years of age and up to 35% of all persons with DM1 will die before age 55 from CVD. Strategies are needed to help identify adolescents with DM1 at risk for CVD so that interventions to prevent heart disease and stroke can be undertaken.
NCT01785875
This study is designed to describe the long-term safety and efficacy of etelcalcetide (AMG 416) for the treatment of SHPT in adults with CKD on hemodialysis.
NCT02234141
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of selonsertib (GS-4997) on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), as measured by right heart catheterization (RHC) in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study will consist of a 24-week placebo-controlled treatment period and a long-term selonsertib treatment period. Participants completing the 24-week placebo-controlled period will be eligible to receive active treatment with selonsertib in the long-term treatment period.
NCT02601690
This is a research study intending to look at the response of a specific type of allergy cells in the blood (called T cells) to a a type of immunotherapy product known as SPIREs (Synthetic Peptide Immuno-Regulatory Epitopes), across a broad range of subjects. This is a non-interventional study in which no investigational product will be administered to any subject.

NCT02159053
The purpose of this study is to provide 16-week efficacy, safety and tolerability data versus placebo to support the use of secukinumab 150 mg by subcutaneous (s.c.) self-administration with or without a loading regimen and maintenance dosing using pre-filled syringe (PFS) and to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability up to 2 years in subjects with active AS despite current or previous NSAID, non-biologic DMARD, or biologic anti-TNFα therapy.
NCT02543346
Allergen challenge facilities have been utilized for many years in clinical drug trials studying onset of action, proof of concept, duration of action, and efficacy. Each facility has somewhat different design characteristics and pollen dispersal technologies. Facilities are located in disparate geographic areas and have populations of participants who are sensitized to allergens unique to that area. Therefore, facilities have operated as single sites with little effort to evaluate facility comparability or to attempt standardization across facilities. The purpose of this study is to compare the two sites and assess whether the sites are able to achieve similar symptom scores.
NCT03215082
The aim of this research program is to 1) Evaluate potential problems with vision, inner ear-eye reflexes and deficits of processing eye information that occur following TBI; and 2) Evaluate treatment programs for individuals with eye and inner ear problems that persist for greater than 10 days following injury. This study will include 465 youth and young adults (aged 6-30 years old) who sustain a TBI of any severity. An initial evaluative phase using the best available technology to evaluate eye and inner ear function will be performed, and compared with typical tests that are used in the clinic. If symptoms and functional problems remain 10 days after injury, participants will be randomly placed into a treatment group (including eye movement, inner ear-eye reflex and attention exercises as per our pilot studies) or a control group (typical rehabilitation). Success will be measured in terms of return to sport (mild TBI), achievement of goals (moderate and severe TBI) and quality of life. It is expected that this program will inform clinical practice and future research leading to a treatment program in TBI that includes multiple components.
NCT03427151
