NCT02130765

NCT02248831
Historically, ultrasound imaging of the lung parenchyma has been challenging because of the high total ultrasound energy attenuation and scattering by the air in the lungs. However, recent technological advancements have allowed for rapid assessment of various pulmonary diseases via the use of lung ultrasound. Furthermore, it has been shown that clear reproducible Doppler signals can be recorded from the lung parenchyma by means of a pulsed Doppler ultrasound system incorporating a special signal-processing package. The LDS may contain information of significant diagnostic and physiological value regarding the pulmonary parenchyma and vasculature, as well as the cardio-vascular system in general. In a pilot clinical validation study of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients, LDS signals unique to ADHF patients were identified, that superpose on the normal Lung Doppler Signals (unpublished data). These are high velocity "disorganized" variable signals that are not synchronous with the cardiac cycle but rather sometimes with respiration.
NCT01343927
A randomized controlled trial for chronic low back pain in predominantly minority populations with three treatment arms: yoga, physical therapy, and education. Four cohorts of participants will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio (yoga:physical therapy:education). Primary outcomes are pain intensity and measure of disability; secondary outcomes are pain medication use, treatment adherence, and health-related quality of life.
NCT00267371
The purpose of this two arm controlled double-blind study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of PFO closure (closing a hole in the wall of the heart) in reducing the frequency of migraine headaches, in patients who experience migraine headaches and have a PFO, compared to medical therapy alone.
NCT02258607
This study is conducted in two phases. The Dose-finding Lead-in Phase, Part A, will evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of momelotinib (MMB) when combined with trametinib. Once the MTD of momelotinib (MMB) is determined, the study will proceed to the Dose-finding Lead-in Phase, Part B, to determine the MTD of trametinib. After the MTD is established, the study may proceed to an expansion phase to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MMB combined with trametinib at the MTD in participants with kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Each treatment cycle will consist of 28 days and treatment will continue in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or participant's refusal of treatment.
NCT02580448
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy and activity of seviteronel, a lyase-selective inhibitor of CYP17, in patients with advanced breast cancer.
NCT02445976
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Seviteronel, a lyase-selective inhibitor of CYP17 and an androgen receptor antagonist, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have been previously treated with enzalutamide and/or abiraterone.
NCT03132298
The goal of the project is to test whether a single-session intervention teaching incremental theories of personality, or the belief that one's personality is malleable, can strengthen recovery from social stress and reduce the development of anxiety and depression during early adolescence. Results may suggest a scalable, cost-effective approach to improving youths' coping capacities and preventing adverse mental health outcomes over time.
NCT00365989
This is a phase 3 study to determine the safety of the new features to the FDA approved ExAblate device using a new method to ablate fibroids deemed Enhanced Sonication.
NCT01786993
This IDE study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of patient treatment with MPP compared to patient treatment with standard BiV pacing at 9 months. The study will be conducted at a maximum of 50 investigational centers located in the United States. A maximum of 506 subjects implanted with the Quadripolar cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-D) system will be enrolled in the study.
NCT02806713
Randomized clinical trial using phenazopyridine to decrease voiding dysfunction after a retropubic midurethral sling operation.
NCT00424840
A pilot trial of combination of bortezomib, bevacizumab and carboplatin as first line therapy in patients with metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Phase I and II study of this combination in first line setting will be conducted in order to properly estimate the efficacy and safety of this regimen. This will form the basis for future studies comparing this combination to what is now considered standard regimen for first line therapy in patients with NSCLC, carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab.
NCT03830515
In this study, total of 20 subjects will have lacerations will be closed with microMend, which is an FDA-listed wound closure product. microMend is a wound closure device that is the size and shape of a butterfly bandage and incorporates tiny Microstaples into an adhesive backing. Assessments by practitioners and Subjects of microMend will be made at Days 0 10, and 3 months using a combination of questionnaires and photographs.
NCT03537248
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ASP-57 Multi-Purpose contact lens solution (Test) compared to ReNu® Multiplus Contact Lens Solution (Control) when used by habitual contact lens wearers to bilaterally clean and disinfect their contact lenses for approximately 3 months (12 weeks).
NCT03202992
This study evaluates the use of ABI-1968, a topical cream, in the treatment of anal precancerous lesions in adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
NCT02470312
The goal of this registry/observational study is to collect data on the clinical utility of MediGuide™ system in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation and electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
NCT03650062
The PAN-PROMISE study (PAtieNt-rePoRted OutcoMe scale in acute pancreatItis-an international proSpEctive cohort study) aims to measure an outcome variable in acute pancreatitis (AP) based in the patient´s experience. PAN-PROMISE is a cohort study involving patients with AP. The patient´s symptom perception will be compared with the opinion of the clinicians and with clinical outcomes.
NCT02398981
In the developed world critical illness is routinely treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) by highly specialized physicians, nurses and support staff. This model of intensive care is spreading rapidly to low and middle income countries and as it spreads, challenges and limitations to this model arise. In resource-poor settings, inadequate human resources, training, and equipment all present barriers to safe and effective use of life-saving procedures. The advances in medical informatics and human factors engineering have provided tremendous opportunity for novel and user-friendly clinical decision support (CDS) tools that can be applied in a complex and busy hospital setting. Real-time data feeds and standardized patient care tasks in a simulated acute care environment have been proven to have a significant advantage of a novel interface (compared to a conventional) in reducing provider cognitive load and errors. Currently researchers within the investigator's research group have developed and are pilot testing a simple electronic decision support tool: CERTAIN (Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness). This tool has been successfully tested and validated in simulated settings and is being implemented as pilot study in 18 countries. Worldwide infant and early childhood mortality continues to be very high partly due to the inability to recognize and respond aggressively to critical illnesses. Investigators expect that adaptation of the algorithms from CERTAIN has potential to be a powerful tool to improve on the medical care of children in developing countries. Investigators aim in this project is 1) to develop a pediatric adaptation of CERTAIN (CERTAINp) and 2) to implement it into clinical practice in resource-poor settings and evaluate the impact of the tool on the processes and patient outcomes.
