NCT02402530
This clinical trial is being conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of neridronic acid in the treatment of pain associated with complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I). The trial is divided into 3 periods: a 60-day enrollment period, a 12-week trial period, and an extended follow-up period with visits at Month 6, Month 9, and Month 12. The extended follow-up period will be terminated for all participants after the last participant enrolled completes their Month 6 visit (Visit 9). The double-blind will be maintained throughout the 12-week trial period and extended follow-up period.
NCT02844517

NCT01457768
This Registry is designed to obtain long term data on participants who have failed to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) while receiving at least one Gilead oral antiviral agent (OAV) in a previous Gilead-sponsored hepatitis C virus (HCV) study.
NCT03514160
Frailty in older adults is a consequence of physical inactivity, which leads to poor physical function, disability and poor health outcomes. Nearly 60% of older adults report inactivity. Emotion regulation strategies have affective, cognitive and social consequences. Positive emotions are significantly associated with a higher ability to perform activities of daily living. There is a gap in the understanding of how exercise influences the selection of emotion regulation strategies (avoidant vs. adaptive) in frail older adults. The investigators propose to examine the interactions between regular exercise, selection of emotional regulation strategies, and daily physical activity in frail sedentary older adults.
NCT00491322
The purpose of this project is to determine if treating vitamin D deficiency decreases insulin resistance and improves insulin secretion in healthy volunteers. Additionally, this project will investigate if treating vitamin D deficiency affects a new phosphate-regulating hormone called FGF-23.
NCT01538719
Scleroderma,also known as systemic sclerosis (SSc), is a multisystem disease affecting skin and other tissues including joints, muscles, lungs, the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys and tissue fibrosis is widespread. SSc presents special problems for developing therapies due to the heterogeneous clinical presentation, the variability of disease progression and the difficulty quantifying the extent of disease. For most disease manifestations, treatment is primarily symptomatic and generally inadequate. This study will utilize a 4-gene biomarker of skin disease as the primary efficacy outcome in a short duration, placebo-controlled clinical trial of rilonacept, designed to provide preliminary data for a larger trial. These gene biomarkers should provide a strong surrogate for such trials in the future and, if IL-1 is indeed the cytokine leading to fibrosis in this disease, provide a highly significant start to finding a therapeutic for SSc that for the first time might dramatically affect fibrosis. A central hypothesis of this study is that IL-1 inhibition will downregulate the 4-gene biomarker over a relatively short period of time, much shorter than is historically thought necessary to see changes in the MRSS, a skin score measurement tool. Entry criteria will include the recent onset of diffuse cutaneous SSc as this is the population most likely to show progressive skin disease and also the population examined in previous studies showing correlations between MRSS and the 4-gene biomarker. Secondary outcomes will include other validated measures of SSc disease activity. MRSS and SSc health assessment questionnaire (SHAQ), will be followed during the trial. This study will also test the effect of rilonacept on global skin gene expression using microarray analyses of skin biopsies. In addition, serum biomarkers of SSc disease activity (COMP, THS-1 and IFI44) and a biomarker of inflammasome activation (CRP) will be tested before and after treatment.
NCT01202773
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer if LY2127399 is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in participants with an inadequate response to one or more tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors. This study is comprised of 2 periods: Period 1: 24-week blinded treatment Period 2: 48-week post-treatment follow-up
NCT02495402
To test the effectiveness of a single 20-30 minute motivational interviewing-based brief intervention for substance use within HIV/AIDS settings.
NCT01790438
The purpose of this study is to compare LY2605541 and human insulin isophane suspension (NPH) using the following measures for participants treated for up to 26 weeks: * Change in participants' overall blood sugar control * The rate of night time low blood sugar episodes * The number of participants that reach blood sugar targets without low night time blood sugar episodes * The total number of low blood sugar episodes reported
NCT01578486
This is a 12-week, open-label trial of salsalate 3 g/day as an adjunctive treatment in 15 schizophrenia subjects to examine salsalate's effect on psychopathology, cognitive functioning, and metabolic parameters. Potential subjects will be identified by their clinicians at the Freedom Trail Clinic, or Massachusetts General Hospital. A total of 15 subjects will be enrolled.
NCT02673489
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 24 weeks of Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir with Ribavirin is safe and effective in the treatment of genotype 3 hepatitis C infected patients with liver cirrhosis.

Post market prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multicenter study, designed to demonstrate dose response of an ablation system using a percutaneous approach in patients with primary, metastatic, or recurrent primary lung tumors.
NCT01727297
This study is to determine, through continuous monitoring with the Reveal implantable cardiac monitor (ICM), the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients suspected to be at high risk for having AF and to understand how physicians manage these patients after AF has been detected. This study will also seek to identify what patient characteristics are most predictive of developing AF.
NCT02642159
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with usual care in the reduction of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in participants with type 2 diabetes and mixed dyslipidemia at high cardiovascular risk with non-HDL-C not adequately controlled with maximally tolerated statin therapy. Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate whether alirocumab is superior in comparison with usual care in its effects on other lipid parameters (ie, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), total cholesterol (Total -C), lipoprotein a (Lp\[a\]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRLs), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1), apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III), lipid subfractions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (ie, LDL-C particle size and LDL, very low-density lipoprotein \[VLDL\], HDL, and intermediate-density lipoprotein \[IDL\] particle number). * To assess changes in glycemic parameters with alirocumab vs. usual care treatment. * To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate treatment acceptance of alirocumab. * To evaluate proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentrations and antibody development. * To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab vs. fenofibrate on non-HDL-C and other lipid parameters (subgroup analysis).
