NCT04235140
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label and roll-over study in participants who are 12 to \<24 months of age at initiation of Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) treatment.
NCT02435212
This was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, two arm, phase II study to evaluate treatment compliance and change in serum ferritin of a deferasirox granule formulation and a deferasirox dispersible tablet (DT) formulation in children and adolescents aged ≥ 2 and \< 18 years at enrolment with any transfusion-dependent anemia requiring chelation therapy due to iron overload, to demonstrate the effect of improved compliance on iron burden. Randomization was stratified by age groups (2 to \<10 years, 10 to \<18 years) and prior iron chelation therapy (Yes/ No). There were two study phases which include a 1 year core phase where participants were randomized to a 48 week treatment period to either Deferasirox DT or granules, and an optional extension phase where all participants received the granules up to 5 years. Participants who demonstrated benefit to granules or DT in the core phase, and/or expressed the wish to continue in the optional extension phase on granules, were offered this possibility until there was local access to the new formulation (granules or film-coated tablet (FCT)) or up to 5 years, whichever occurred first.
NCT05287906

NCT04825678
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of erenumab on medication-specific treatment satisfaction.
NCT04604431
iREACH is a five-year NIH funded study aimed at assessing and improving pediatric clinician adherence to the 2017 NIAID Prevention of Peanut Allergy (PPA) Guidelines. iREACH has been developed as an electronic health record (EHR) integrated Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool together with educational modules on the PPA guidelines to assist clinicians in implementing the 2017 NIAID PPA Guidelines. A practice-based, two-arm, cluster-randomized clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of iREACH in increasing pediatric clinician adherence to the PPA Guidelines and explore the end-goal of reducing peanut allergy incidence by age 2.5 years in the intervention vs control group. This study has the potential to: 1) provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of iREACH in promoting clinical processes and outcomes related to the PPA Guidelines, 2) provide important insight about practice-based implementation of PPA Guidelines by pediatric clinicians, allergists and caregivers, and 3) facilitate rapid, widespread implementation of PPA Guidelines and reduce peanut allergy incidence across the US.
NCT01278043
Subjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure should restore the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. One complication that can occur after a PCI procedure is blood clotting and narrowing of the artery in the area that was treated. This can result in a decrease in the blood flow to the heart. To avoid this complication, patients are given antiplatelet or "blood-thinning" drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel as part of their routine care after this procedure. For this research study, the investigators would like to take blood samples from subjects at 3 different time points while they are taking these antiplatelet drugs. The investigators will study the subjects' blood and medical history to help us further our understanding of how these drugs respond in individuals and in certain patient populations. Everyone responds a little differently to medications due to many reasons including our genetic make-up. Genes are passed down from our parents and determine our physical appearance such as the color of our hair and eyes. Differences in our genes may also help explain why some drugs work in some people, but not in others. By studying subjects' blood, medical history, genetic make-up and by recording how the subjects' blood responds over the course of their treatment, the investigators hope to learn more about how our bodies respond when taking these drugs. Additionally, the investigators hope to find better ways to predict who will respond more effectively to these drugs and better ways to monitor how these drugs are working in patients' bodies over time after PCI procedures.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the i-STAT TBI test to assist determining the need for a computed tomography (CT) scan in patients with suspected mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Patients will be asked to provide a blood sample.
NCT03115359
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has no known effective treatment. While often treated with long-term opioid therapy, opioids do not work well for many patients and can cause serious side effects, including addiction, poorer mental health, and overdose death. Even when paired with a standard-of-care cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), results are limited. Patients, families and clinicians are very interested in using alternative treatments for CLBP, especially complementary and integrative treatments such as mindfulness meditation (MM). MM helps train the mind to bring non-judgmental and accepting attention to present-moment experiences such as pain. MM offers an active and safe self-care approach to chronic pain that contrasts with the passive and potentially harmful nature of opioid treatment, and may prove more effective than CBT in helping improve health and well-being, and reduce reliance on opioids in adults with opioid-treated CLBP. Although this hypothesis is supported by early research, including a pilot study by the Principal Investigator, evidence on MM's effectiveness in this population is inconclusive, presenting a critical knowledge gap. With input from patients, family members, and clinicians, the Investigators have designed a study to address this gap and propose a clinical trial that will compare the effectiveness of MM to standard-of-care CBT in opioid-treated CLBP. Based on the existing research, it is hypothesized that MM training will lead to a larger reduction in pain intensity, increase in physical function, improvement in quality of life, and decrease in daily opioid dose, as compared to CBT training, with benefits of MM especially notable in adults with worse mood, anxiety or unhealthy opioid-use behaviors who often experience more severe symptoms of CLBP and less improvement in response to existing therapies. To test these hypotheses, 766 adults with opioid-treated CLBP will be randomly assigned into one of two 8-week treatment groups: MM (383 participants) that will receive the MM training or CBT (383 participants) that will receive the CBT training. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions, the study protocol was modified in October 2020 so that the study can be completed virtually. The effectiveness of MM versus CBT will be assessed over a 12-month period with patient-reported measures, recommended by experts and endorsed by our stakeholder partners, including patients with opioid-treated CLBP, their families and clinicians.
NCT04909450
This study will enroll subjects with stage 2 or 3 neurotrophic keratitis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the CSB-001 investigational treatment arm or vehicle control arm. All subjects will dose with the randomized treatment four times daily for 8 weeks (controlled treatment phase). During the controlled treatment phase, subjects will return to the clinic weekly from Day 0 to Week 8, and again at Week 10. Subjects randomized to the vehicle arm who are not healed will have the opportunity to participate in an open-label uncontrolled treatment phase.

NCT02927301
This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant and adjuvant atezolizumab in participants with resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Neoadjuvant therapy consisted of two 21-day cycles with atezolizumab. Following surgery, adjuvant therapy consisted of up to 12 months of atezolizumab in participants who demonstrate clinical benefit with neoadjuvant therapy. All participants who undergo surgery entered a surveillance period, which consisted of standardized blood sample collection and Chest CT Scans, for up to 2 years. All participants were monitored for disease recurrence and survival for up to 3 years after last dose of study drug.
NCT04555486
The DCR-PHXC-104 study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacological parameters of a single dose of DCR-PHXC in Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 3 (PH3). Participants should have had at least one stone event within 12 months of screening and intact renal function.
NCT05005182
This phase II trial studies the effects of luspatercept with or without hydroxyurea in treating patients with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis or unclassifiable with ring sideroblasts. Biological therapies, such as luspatercept, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Hydroxyurea may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving luspatercept with or without hydroxyurea may help doctors determine what doses of the combination is safe for patients to take and how the disease responds to the treatment.

The investigators seek to gather information on a wide range of weight management experiences, ranging from weight loss and weight loss maintenance to weight gain and inability to lose weight.
NCT04530981
Evaluate the Effect of Ripretinib on the Pharmacokinetics of a CYP2C8 Substrate
NCT03650621
The purpose is to investigate whether non-invasive acupuncture - NIA (i.e. acupuncture without needles) will help reduce pain for babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) during their routine weekly eye-exam for Retinopathy of prematurity. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease most commonly affecting premature babies born weighing less than 1250 grams. Retinopathy of prematurity occurs because these premature babies require oxygen because of their immature lungs. The oxygen then stimulates the growth of blood vessels in the retina, causing the retina to be detached from the eye, which causes vision impairment. To examine if the vessels grow at the back of the eye, an eye-doctor visits bi-weekly once the baby is 32 weeks corrected age to assess if the blood vessels change. If there is a lot of growth, the eye-doctor would use a laser to treat the eye to prevent further growth. During the bi-weekly eye-exam, the premature infant receives sucrose (a type of sugar) for pain management. The investigator will assess pain a premature babies experience during this exam and found that there are extremely high scores of pain despite sucrose and the investigator believe this pain and stress caused by these procedures could be reduced by adding: Magnetic Acupuncture Also, untreated pain causes stress (lower oxygen levels, higher heart rates), discomfort and poorer long term outcomes. Finding the best treatment and prevention for the pain caused by procedures in the NICU is therefore extremely important for any baby.
