NCT05405426
TITRE - Trial of Indication-based Transfusion of Red Blood Cells in ECMO, is a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial. The overarching goal of TITRE is to determine whether restricting red blood cell (RBC) transfusion according to an indication-based strategy for those with bleeding and/or deficit of tissue oxygen delivery, compared with transfusion based on center-specific hemoglobin or hematocrit thresholds, can reduce organ dysfunction and improve later neurodevelopment in critically ill children receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support.
NCT04497116
The primary purpose of this study is to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule of orally-administered RP-3500 (camonsertib) alone or in combination with talazoparib, a PARP inhibitor, or Gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors with ATR inhibitor-sensitizing mutations. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of RP-3500 (camonsertib) alone or in combination with talazoparib or gemcitabine, examine both the pharmacokinetics (PK)and pharmacodynamics (PD)and investigate its anti-tumor activity in solid tumors.
NCT03635424
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the procedural safety and efficacy of the Medtronic TAVR system in patients with bicuspid aortic anatomy and severe aortic stenosis at low risk for SAVR
NCT05901831
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly, and type 1 diabetes. In people with type 1 diabetes, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. CKD often occurs together with or as a consequence of type 1 diabetes. The study treatment finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and type 2 diabetes. In this study, researchers want to learn if finerenone works better than placebo in reducing the participants' kidney disease from getting worse when given in addition to standard of care (SOC) treatment. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. SOC is a procedure or treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate for a condition or disease. To find out how well finerenone works, the level of a protein (albumin) in the urine will be measured. Researchers also want to know how safe finerenone is. To do this, the researchers will collect the number of participants with: * medical problems (also called treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)) * serious TEAEs. An TEAE is considered 'serious' when it leads to death, puts the participant's life at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems, or is medically important * higher than normal blood levels of potassium (hyperkalaemia). Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take finerenone or placebo, Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their regular SOC medicines. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, they will visit the study site at least 6 times. The study team will: * collect blood and urine samples * check the participants' vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate * do a physical examination including height and weight * check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) * do pregnancy tests in women of childbearing potential
NCT04445662
This community-based randomized controlled trial will test the effect of contingent financial rewards on smoking abstinence among homeless-experienced adult cigarette smokers. Participants will be recruited from 3 Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program locations: a shelter clinic, a day center clinic, and a medical center clinic. All participants will be offered a varenicline prescription and tobacco coaching. Incentive arm participants will receive escalating financial rewards for saliva cotinine levels \<30 ng/ml, assessed 10 times over 12 weeks. Embedded qualitative interviews will explore the mechanisms of on-treatment and post-treatment effects of financial incentives on smoking abstinence in the context of homelessness.
NCT06547320
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a sensor device called an Automatic Ingestion Monitor (AIM) that is worn on eyeglasses can be used with a smartphone to change eating behavior. Participants will wear the device for one week of no-intervention observation. They will then test behavioral interventions focused on eating for two weeks. The researchers hypothesize that messages sent to a smartphone that are based on information from the AIM can reduce the amount of food that is eaten and slow eating.
NCT03584516
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids as first-line treatment for moderate or severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).
NCT05866302
The study will have two separate patient cohorts: Cohort 1 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), whereas cohort 2 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic lung disease (CLD). For cohort 1, the primary objective will be to characterize PRM metrics at the onset of chronic GVHD and determine if a PRM signature is present that will predict 1-year CLD free survival. For cohort 2, the primary objective will focus on characterizing PRM at the onset of CLD and determine if PRM can predict the trajectory in lung function decline in affected patients.
NCT01364597
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of brivaracetam in pediatric subjects with epilepsy.
NCT03313999
This protocol will utilize the lymphedema indentometer, or durometer (a novel, noninvasive piece of equipment that measures skin elasticity), to better characterize disease progression in patients with lymphedema. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center patients who undergo treatment of lymphedema will be candidates for this noninvasive test. This device and the data it generates will help understand the incidence of lymphedema at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center compared to national data and the outcomes of surgical treatment of lymphedema.

NCT05468489
This is a randomized, open-label study of Serplulimab plus chemotherapy (Carboplatin-Etoposide) in comparison with Atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in previously untreated US patients with ES-SCLC. Subjects in this study will be randomized to arm A or B at 1:1 ratio as follows: * Arm A (Serplulimab): Serplulimab + chemotherapy (carboplatin-etoposide) * Arm B (control): Atezolizumab + chemotherapy (carboplatin-etoposide)
NCT04729959
This phase II trial studies the best dose and effect of tocilizumab in combination with atezolizumab and stereotactic radiation therapy in treating glioblastoma patients whose tumor has come back after initial treatment (recurrent). Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to receptors for a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is made by white blood cells and other cells in the body as well as certain types of cancer. This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy uses special equipment to precisely deliver multiple, smaller doses of radiation spread over several treatment sessions to the tumor. The goal of this study is to change a tumor that is unresponsive to cancer therapy into a more responsive one. Therapy with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in combination with tocilizumab may suppress the inhibitory effect of immune cells surrounding the tumor and consequently allow an immunotherapy treatment by atezolizumab to activate the immune response against the tumor. Combination therapy with tocilizumab, atezolizumab and fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy may shrink or stabilize the cancer better than radiation therapy alone in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
NCT07060664

NCT02959437
This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study has three separate treatment groups where separate epigenetic agents are evaluated with an immunotherapy combination. Treatment Group A will evaluate the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor azacitidine in combination with the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor pembrolizumab and the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1) inhibitor epacadostat; Treatment Group B will evaluate the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor INCB057643 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat; and Treatment Group C will evaluate the lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1) inhibitor INCB059872 with pembrolizumab and epacadostat. The study will be divided into 2 parts (Part 1 and 2). Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination therapies. Once the recommended doses have been determined, subjects with previously treated NSCLC, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and melanoma will be enrolled into expansion cohorts in Part 2.
NCT07219238
This study is a Phase 2/3, prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial, in which GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT images will be acquired in patients with primary colorectal, gastric, ovarian, or Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cancers and known or suspected Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) before or after institutional Standard of Care (SoC) imaging. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT for the detection of PC in patients with colorectal, gastric, or ovarian primary cancers, using a composite standard of truth (SoT), in a region-based analysis. The detection of PC in patients with primary PDAC will be explored in the Phase 2 part of the study. The study is comprised of 2 distinct parts: Phase 2 aims to confirm the statistical and scientific assumptions for the Phase 3 part, and to confirm the optimal dose and timing of acquisition of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT in the PC indication. Phase 2 includes 2 cohorts: Cohort A (participants with colorectal, ovarian and gastric primary cancer), and Cohort B (participants with primary PDAC), where analysis of Cohort B is descriptive only. Phase 3 aims to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of GEH300079 (68Ga) PET/CT for the detection of PC in patients with confirmed colorectal, gastric or ovarian primary cancers.
