NCT05258890
This study aims to compare the efficacy of a social network intervention versus individual hypertension counseling to improve blood pressure control after stroke. The investigators hope to understand whether the involvement of family, friends and other members of individual's social network can help achieve better blood pressure after experiencing a stroke. Participants will be stratified to two groups according to network size (\<5 vs 5 or more) and randomized to receive individual hypertension counseling (control) or the social network intervention. The primary outcome of the study will be the absolute reduction in systolic blood pressure at 3 months follow-up. The secondary outcomes will be attainment of a post-stroke hypertension treatment goal and patient-reported physical function.
NCT04291105
This is a Phase 2 study designed to determine the preliminary anti-tumor activity and confirm the safety of VV1 in combination with cemiplimab. The study will enroll patients with three distinct separate tumor cohorts. The cancers types are colorectal, head and neck carcinoma, and melanoma that are progressing on CPI treatment.
NCT05300477
The aim of this randomized, double-blind study is to determine whether erythropoietin (Procrit) and acetazolamide: 1) mitigates altitude-induced decrements in performance at moderate altitude (3,000 m) and 2) mitigates altitude-induced decrements in performance and reduce acute mountain sickness during prolonged exposure to high altitude (4,300 m; 15 days). Volunteers will complete 5 study phases: Phase 1) sea level baseline testing and a moderate altitude exposure; Phase 2) 4 week study intervention - randomly assigned to receive erythropoietin or placebo); Phase 3) 3 1/2 days of acetazolamide and a moderate altitude exposure; Phase 4) high altitude acclimatization - 15 days at Pikes Peak; and Phase 5) two week deacclimatization. Test battery include VO2peak, 3.2 km treadmill time trial, measures of gas exchange and ventilation during rest and exercise, and blood collection.
NCT05458024
The main objective of this study is to determine whether the administration of a single dose of Vitamin D in the Emergency Department following a motor vehicle collision can improve musculoskeletal pain severity as well as reduce musculoskeletal pain outcome disparity between Blacks and White following a motor vehicle collision. This randomized controlled trial is a pilot study to determine feasibility and potential efficacy (response to study drug, ability to reduce racial disparity in pain outcomes). This data can be used to adequately power a larger randomized controlled trial to fully assess efficacy.
NCT03734640
OPTIMISTmain is an investigator-initiated and conducted, international, multicentre, stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of different intensities of nursing care monitoring for patients with acute ischemic stroke of mild severity and without critical care needs after IV-tPA.
NCT03631784
This is a trial in adult participants with unresectable, locally advanced, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with pembrolizumab in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy and standard thoracic radiotherapy followed by pembrolizumab monotherapy. The primary hypothesis of the trial is that within each platinum doublet chemotherapy cohort, the percentage of participants who develop Grade 3 or higher pneumonitis is ≤10% and estimation of objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
NCT05646446
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of an intervention to address reducing alcohol use, sexual revictimization, and psychological distress among bisexual+ women (i.e., attraction to more than one gender: bisexual, pansexual, queer). The main questions the study seeks to answer are: 1) what is the feasibility of the recruitment method, research design, interventionist training methods, and delivery of the intervention; 2) does the intervention, relative to control, at the 2- and 4-month follow-up period, produce reductions in the quantity and frequency of alcohol use, sexual victimization, and psychological distress (anxiety, depression). Follow-up assessments are completed at 2- and 4-months following program completion. The intervention is compared to a wait list control group.

NCT05782296
A clinical study designed to validate the safety and performance of the TrueLabor™ device in monitoring labor vs. current standard of care.
NCT05825898
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a public health problem: moderate / severe TR are common, especially in ageing populations, and affect 4% of the population \>75 years old, totaling approximately 1.6 million in the US and 3 million in Europe. TR is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Contrasting with TR prevalence and the magnitude of the problem, the vast majority of patients are medically treated with diuretics to relieve their symptoms and a curative surgical treatment for isolated severe TR is seldom performed. Reluctance to perform an ITVS can be explained in the one hand by the limited evidence that TR correction improves outcomes and on the other hand, ITVS is associated to high observed in-hospital mortality rates (≈ 10% remarkably consistent in most series across the literature). Severity of the clinical presentation is the main predictor of outcome after surgery. The TRI-SCORE, is a dedicated, simple and accurate risk score model to predict in-hospital mortality after ITVS that could guide the clinical decision-making process at the individual level. Excellent outcomes can be achieved when patients present with low TRI-SCORE. These results suggest adopting a more pro-active approach for TV interventions, and to intervene earlier in the course of the disease in patients with severe isolated TR, irrespective of TR mechanism / etiology, before the occurrence of advanced / irreversible consequences such as severe RV dilatation / dysfunction, renal and liver failure, and intractable heart failure. Recently transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) have emerged recently as a less invasive option to surgery to cure patients with TR. What is the best treatment between medical, surgical or transcatheter therapy to consider and the best timing for each patient are not clearly defined. The aim of the study is to compare outcome of patients with significant functional TR according to medical, transcatheter or surgical treatment after matching per TRISCORE.
NCT04199689
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of the 9vHPV vaccine in men 20 to 45 years of age. The primary hypothesis tested after the primary database lock is that administration of a 3-dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine will reduce the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18/31/33/45/52/58-related oral persistent infection (6 months or longer) compared with placebo. There will also be an Extension Study to offer an opportunity to complete the 3 dose regimen of 9vHPV vaccine for participants who received placebo in the Base Study, or received less than 3 doses of 9vHPV vaccine in the Base Study.
NCT05337631
The number of elderly head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is increasing; however, the evidence regarding the ideal treatment for this often vulnerable and frail patient cohort is limited. Although the benefit of concomitant chemotherapy has been reported to decrease in elderly HNSCC patients based on the MACH-NC meta-analysis, it remains unknown whether state-of-the art radiotherapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), modern supportive treatments and alternative chemotherapy fractionation (e.g., cisplatin weekly) may have altered this observation. The objective of this retrospective multinational multicenter study is to determine the oncological outcomes of elderly patients (≥65 years) with locally advanced HNSCCs undergoing definitive (chemo-)radiation and to investigate the influence of concomitant chemotherapy on overall survival and progression-free survival after adjusting for potential confounder variables such as age, performance status and comorbidity burden.
NCT03692715
This is a two arm, double blind RCT comparing the use of a single dose ciprofloxacin prior to SWL to saline alone. The multicenter trial will be conducted with a pragmatic emphasis including both high volume and low volume sites internationally.
NCT03206801
This is a Phase II-III multi-center prospective randomized controlled clinical trial of incident adult renal transplant patients. The primary objective of this study is to determine if the early treatment of rejection, as detected by urinary CXCL10, will improve renal allograft outcomes.
NCT03891524

NCT04277325
70 couples (married or cohabiting) will be recruited across 5 countries (12-18 in each country: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, México, and Spain). After their entry into the study is confirmed, couples will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: intervention or control (no intervention). In each country, both groups will have equal number of couples. Couples in the intervention group will receive 20 sessions of Emotionally Focused couple Therapy (EFT). Couples in the control group will receive no intervention during the study period (they will receive a shorter intervention after the trial is over). Participants of both groups will fill questionnaires before allocation, during the intervention period and after the intervention period. The main outcomes will be couple attachment, couple satisfaction and dyadic adjustment. The original timeline for the study was to start in Argentina and Guatemala in February 2020, and the remaining countries in September 2020. The study started in February 2020 for Argentina and Guatemala, but in April 2020 the process was postponed due to mobility constrains during covid-19 crisis. During these two months, the process remained in the recruitment phase. Therefore, couples were not randomly assigned. Due to an improvement in the pandemic situation, the study started in Spain in September 2021.We expect the remaining countries will start during 2022. The study period for each couple will be around 6 months.
