NCT02478489
The specific aims of this pragmatic randomized controlled trial are to compare initiating injectable extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX) or oral naltrexone (PO-NTX) at the time of discharge from a medical hospitalization for patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) on: 1) alcohol consumption and consequences, and 2) acute healthcare utilization (including hospital readmission and emergency visits) and cost-effectiveness. In exploratory analyses, the investigators will assess moderators of medication effects including demographic, behavioral, and genetic factors.
NCT01073020
There is substantial clinical evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of currently practiced bariatric surgical techniques to improve metabolic control and/or resolve type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in clinically severe obese patients (class 3 obesity). Evidence suggests such procedures have greater effects on insulin secretion and insulin action than that expected from weight loss alone, which has led to the recent claim that such procedures may be useful as a primary treatment for T2DM in the moderately obese population. Concurrently, there have also been substantial advances in the non-surgical medical management of T2DM. As a result, the best treatment algorithm for T2DM patients with class 1 \& 2 obesity is increasingly controversial. This trial investigates the utility of currently practiced and available bariatric surgical procedures as compared with multidisciplinary intensive medical and weight management for the treatment of T2DM with class 1 and 2 obesity.
NCT01232803
MTN-007 is a Phase 1, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled safety and acceptability study of vaginally formulated tenofovir 1% gel (a reduced-glycerin formulation), when applied rectally. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of vaginally formulated tenofovir 1% gel when applied rectally. After completing screening and baseline evaluation, eligible participants will be randomized to receive tenofovir 1% gel, 2% nonoxynol-9 gel (N-9) or placebo gel. The study will also include a no treatment arm. There will be 15 participants in each arm. Participants will return to the clinic, where they will self-administer a single dose of the study gel under observation. Within approximately 30 minutes, lavage, stool, and rectal biopsy specimens will be obtained. After a one-week recovery period, participants will return to the clinic for assessment. If no significant adverse events (AEs) are reported they will begin to self-administer once-daily outpatient doses of the study gel for 7 days. Participants will return to clinic for evaluation and specimen collection after completion of 7 days of daily dosing.
NCT02369900
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects of controlling the heart rate of patients with septic shock using an intravenous medication called esmolol.
NCT03433586
Specific Aim I: Examine the role of genetic variation in COMT on platelet function in a blinded, randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial of daily placebo or Aspirin (81mg) for 10 ± 3 days. Platelet function will be assessed with platelet aggregometry and by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) of platelet adhesion molecules P-selectin and GPIIb/IIIa in platelets activated with arachidonic acid, thrombin, collagen, epinephrine and ADP. Specific Aim II: Examine the effects of platelet releasates harvested at the end of each treatment arm on angiogenesis.
NCT00171158
This extension II study allowed for further follow-up of the disease under treatment with imatinib mesylate and allow the participants to continue to receive imatinib mesylate.
NCT02622321
This multicenter, open-label study will evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of prophylactic emicizumab treatment in participants previously treated with episodic or prophylactic bypassing agents. Episodic bypassing agent participants will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive emicizumab prophylaxis (Arm A) versus no prophylaxis (Arm B) and will be stratified across Arms A and B according to the number of bleeds they experienced over the last 24 weeks prior to study entry (less than \[\<\] 9 or greater than or equal to \[\>/=\] 9 bleeds); Arm B participants will have the opportunity to switch to emicizumab prophylaxis after at least 24 weeks on-study. Prophylactic bypassing agent participants will switch to emicizumab prophylaxis (Arm C) from the start of the trial; enrollment will be extended for 24 weeks after the last participant has enrolled in Arms A or B or until approximately 50 participants have enrolled in Arm C, whichever occurs first. Episodic bypassing agent participants who previously participated in the non-interventional study BH29768 (NCT02476942) who were unable to enroll in Arms A or B, or participants on prophylactic bypassing agents who were unable to enroll in Arm C, prior to their closure will have the opportunity to enroll in Arm D. Like participants in Arms A and C, Arm D participants will receive emicizumab prophylaxis from the start of the trial. All participants will continue to receive episodic bypassing agent therapy to treat breakthrough bleeds, preferably with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa).
NCT03377556
This phase II trial studies how well talazoparib works in treating patients with homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRRD) positive stage IV squamous cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01590433
The investigators are conducting a study that will investigate the possible mechanisms of weight loss associated with exenatide treatment and the metabolic characteristics of high responders (i.e. subjects who achieve greater than 5% weight loss) to exenatide treatment. The investigators will also examine the magnitude and duration of weight loss among a cohort of high responders over 52 weeks of treatment, and at 3 and 6 months following treatment. Hypothesis: The mechanisms of weight loss with exenatide are not fully understood, and weight loss responses to exenatide are highly variable, possibly reflecting distinct metabolic parameters. By identifying and following a group of obese women who lose greater than 5% body weight after short-term exenatide treatment, the investigators can gain insights into the possible mechanisms of weight loss and assess long-term weight loss with this pharmacotherapeutic intervention.

NCT02539732
Several types of spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) have been proposed to evaluate when a patient is ready to be weaned from the ventilator based on breathing pattern measurements. The T-piece technique allows clinicians to calculate breathing patterns accurately but many prefer to use minimal levels of assistance, which unfortunately modifies breathing pattern. The interest of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is that tidal volume (Vt) supposedly represents what the patient really wants: without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator, it may be possible to determine what is the real need and whether the patient is able to maintain Vt without support. The aims of the study are as follows: to test whether the changes in Vt after the removal of a standardized level of NAVA assistance (ΔVt) can predict weaning outcome; to compare the proposed titration of effort in NAVA (occlusion) with Patient-Ventilator Breath Contribution (PVBC) and titration using the Pmusc/Eadi index (PEI) relating the pressure generated by the respiratory muscles (muscular pressure; Pmusc) to the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi); to assess the effect of PEEP on the change in Vt; and to evaluate EAdi after extubation. Patients ventilated for at least 24 hours who are ready to undergo an SBT will be included. Patients younger than 18 years of age and/or who have a contraindication to NAVA catheter insertion and/or surgical patients expected to be extubated within 12 hours will be excluded. After a baseline inclusion period with the pre-enrollment mode of ventilation, the standardized NAVA level will be applied for 20 minutes, during which both Patient-Ventilator Breath Contribution (PVBC) and PEI will be calculated. After the NAVA trial, a period of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) 5 (2-3 minutes) followed by a period of CPAP 0 (2-3 minutes) (both with NAVA gain 0) will be performed in order to record the difference with Vt during standardized NAVA (ΔVt). At the end of this period, the patient will be switched back to the baseline settings for 30 minutes-3 hours. After this period, the patient will perform an SBT with CPAP 0 or CPAP 5 for 1 hour. At the end of the SBT, the attending physician will decide whether or not to extubate the patient according to standard criteria and blinded to the ΔVt results. Ultimately, patients will be classified as "success" or "failure" and the ΔVt will be compared between these two groups.
