NCT04378153
Despite the increasingly common use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies in treating CF, it is still largely unknown whether or not other chronic therapies can be safely stopped. The SIMPLIFY study is being done to test whether or not it is safe to stop taking inhaled hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme® (dornase alfa) in those people that are also taking Trikafta™. Trikafta (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor) is a combination CFTR modulator therapy that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with CF who have at least one F508del mutation. The three drugs that make up Trikafta work together to allow many more chloride ions to move into and out of the cells, improving the balance of salt and water in the lungs. These changes result in better clearance of mucus from the lungs and improvements in lung function. Inhaled hypertonic saline and Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) also improve clearance of mucus from the lungs to support lung function and have been available to people with CF for many years. Both therapies are considered to be relatively burdensome and it is not known whether either therapy can improve or maintain lung function above what is already gained through Trikafta use. The goal of the SIMPLIFY study is to get information about whether or not it is safe to stop either inhaled hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) by testing if there is a change in lung function in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are assigned to stop their chronic medication (either hypertonic saline or Pulmozyme) as compared to those who are assigned to keep taking their medication while continuing to take Trikafta.
NCT03828318
After undergoing restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer, many patients are left with significant bowel dysfunction, known as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS). Increased LARS severity correlates with worse perceived global health status and quality of life (QoL). Among patients undergoing rectal resection with a permanent ostomy, there is evidence that supportive and educational interventions improve QoL, ostomy proficiency, self-efficacy and knowledge. However, evidence regarding the impact of such interventions in patients who undergo restorative proctectomy is lacking, despite the latter operation being far more frequently performed. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the extent to which a LARS Patient-Centered Program impacts on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after restorative proctectomy for rectal cancer. This is a randomized-controlled muticenter trial that will include patients who have undergone restorative proctectomy for neoplastic disease (benign or malignant) located in the rectum (0-15cm from the anal verge) with a diverting ostomy and who are scheduled for ostomy closure.
NCT03989414
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CC-92480 in combination with standard treatments.
NCT03455959
Determining how memory T helper type 2 (Th2) initiate recall responses to aeroallergens has the potential to change the therapeutic approach to allergic asthma, the most common asthma subtype. \~5-10% of effector Th2 cells recruited into the lung give rise to long-lived tissue resident memory cells that are poised to respond upon allergen re-exposure.Consequently, targeting memory Th2 cell activation is an attractive therapeutic strategy. However, it is not well understood how allergen inhalation initiates a memory Th2 cell response in the lung. The focus of this new study on the role of lung-resident memory Th2 cells in orchestrating the recall response to allergen in the lung, including the recruitment and activation of circulating Th2 cells, is a natural, timely and exciting extension of the investigators' ongoing Allergen Challenge Protocol.
NCT06074601
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate cell-free RNA-based biomarkers for predicting a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes in a pregnant person population. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Can cell-free RNA-based biomarkers predict which pregnant people are at greatest risk of developing adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., preterm birth, preeclampsia)? 2. What is the performance of such biomarkers when predicting an adverse pregnancy outcome (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, TPR)?
NCT06699927
The present study investigates the feasibility of working memory training in people aging with HIV (PAWHIV). In a cross-over design this stage 1 feasibility trial, will evaluate acceptability, and estimate possible effect sizes related to working memory training by examining potential differential effects in PAWHIV and those aging without HIV. This project highlights the importance of tailored cognitive assessments and interventions, engaging with underrepresented communities to enhance inclusivity in cognitive health research.
NCT02675231
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of abemaciclib plus trastuzumab with or without fulvestrant versus trastuzumab plus physicians choice standard of care chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after prior exposure to at least two HER2-directed therapies for advanced disease.
NCT04516447
This is a Phase 1b open-label, multicenter study, evaluating the safety, tolerability, preliminary clinical activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of ZN-c3 in combination with other drugs.
NCT04508335
The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary data on the effectiveness, safety, function, comfort, and patient satisfaction with a novel vaginal pessary design for the use in women who suffer from symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and have already opted for non-surgical management. Recruited patients will have Stage II POP or greater and will be current users of a Gellhorn or ring style pessary. Following enrollment, each subject will enter a 1-month wash out period in which they will continue using their current pessary so that baseline subjective and objective data can be collected. They will then be fit with a study pessary and enter a 3-month treatment phase. Comparative, subjective, and objective data will be collected at the conclusion of the study.
NCT03192176
This study determined the effects of different doses and dosing regimens of ESN364 on the frequency and severity of hot flashes. The treatment was administered for 12 weeks to postmenopausal women, aged 40 to 65, suffering at least 50 moderate to severe hot flashes per week.
NCT05516342
The proposed Phase 2 project will involve the further development and evaluation of LEAD IT!, which is a tablet-based app designed to enable persons with dementia to lead activities for their peers (i.e., other persons with dementia). The study will examine the clinical outcomes of long-term use of the app by both Resident Leaders (RLs) and Resident Players (RPs). The Specific Aims of the proposed Phase 2 project are to: 1. Develop improved Beta 1 and Beta 2 Versions of LEAD IT! with sufficient content to facilitate six activities twice per week for 4.5 months. 2. Examine the extent to which RLs are able to serve as leaders while using LEAD IT! 3. Examine the effects of resident-led LEAD IT! programming on RPs. 4. Examine PWD and staff satisfaction with LEAD IT!
