NCT02277990
Medtronic , Inc. is sponsoring the World-wide Randomized Antibiotic Envelope Infection Prevention Trial (WRAP-IT), a randomized, prospective, multi-center, single blinded, post-market, interventional clinical study. This study will evaluate the ability of the TYRX™ envelope to reduce major Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) infections through 12-months post-procedure following CIED generator replacement, upgrade, revision, or de novo cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implant. Additionally, this large device study provides the unique opportunity to prospectively characterize the performance of Medtronic's lead monitoring features in subjects whose CIED system includes a transvenous right ventricular (RV) defibrillation lead. Finally, the WRAP-IT study will serve as a post-approval study for those geographies requiring a post-approval study of the TYRX™ envelope.
NCT02357290
Children between the ages of 5-17 years old who have or display symptoms of emotional dysregulation (explosiveness, mood swings, irritability, and/or violent behavior) are invited to participate in a 12-week research study to determine the effectiveness and safety of the natural treatment N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for children with emotional and behavioral problems. After undergoing a comprehensive evaluation by medical doctors with a specialty in this area, children who are found eligible to participate in this research study will be treated with NAC. Following the evaluation period, this research study requires 12 weekly visits, either in our office or over the phone, in an effort to closely monitor each child's response to the medication. Eligible participants will receive study-related evaluations and weekly study visits with our study doctors at no cost.

NCT01899053
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and to determine dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and dosing schedules of oral TAK-228+TAK-117. It also evaluated the single- and multiple-dose plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of TAK-228+TAK-117 in participants with advanced nonhematologic malignancies.
NCT00106431
GPI-04-0001 was a Phase II, non-randomized, open label, single arm study that was conducted at approximately 30 sites, primarily in the United States, Europe and Russia. It assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of romidepsin as a treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Study patients (pts) received romidepsin in a dose of 14 mg/m\^2 intravenously over 4 hours on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The duration of study treatment was 6 cycles although pts who showed an objective response or stable disease could continue to receive therapy, at the discretion of the investigator, until disease progression or another withdrawal criterion was met.
NCT01836029
The purpose of this study is to compare the progression-free survival of patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) treated with VTX-2337 + cisplatin or carboplatin + 5-FU + cetuximab versus patients treated with cisplatin or carboplatin + 5-FU + cetuximab alone (standard-of-care; SOC). Safety and overall survival will also be evaluated.
NCT03071887
The goal of this study is to refine and pilot the Relaxation Response Resiliency (3RP) intervention for women age 50 and over who are living with HIV, a group especially burdened by stressors related both to aging and living with chronic disease. The investigators will adapt the 3RP resiliency intervention to the needs of this population and conduct preliminary testing of the group intervention via an open pilot study.
NCT03342560
Chronic liver disease is a major problem in the general population and there is an unmet need to diagnose(and screen) for liver disease with using noninvasive, cost-effective and sensitive techniques.The investigators hypothesize that variation using ultrasound elastography for the estimation of stage of liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with diffuse liver disease exists due to different methods of measurements, and/or different systems. The proposed investigation is a cross-sectional study using ultrasound elastography and fat quantification modalities. The investigators are planning to enroll 30 subjects 18 years old and older in whom diffuse liver disease is suspected, and who have undergone non-focal liver biopsy in the past 6 months or are scheduled to undergo biopsy within 3 months of enrollment, as part of their routine clinical care. The investigators will use 4 different ultrasound devices with their shear wave elastography and speed of sound functions. Specific aims; * Compare shear wave elastography(SWE) measurements from different ultrasound systems; using histopathology as reference standards. * Assess intra-operator and inter-operator reliability by measuring variability in elastography values by two operators on a single system. * Determine the effect of deviations from guidelines(less number of measurements and measurements during active breath)
NCT03719872
This study evaluates the ability of ultrasound to identify intraperitoneal free air. The study will consist of blinded review of abdominal ultrasound images of patients before and after laparoscopic surgery, a procedure which results in the introduction of air into the peritoneal cavity.
