NCT05008224
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) monotherapy, followed by chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab consolidation. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the complete response (CR) rate at the end of study intervention according to Lugano 2014 response criteria is higher than conventional chemotherapy.
NCT04799587
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the addition of P6 pressure point stimulation as opposed to sham-point stimulation will decrease intraoperative and postoperative nausea and vomiting (IONV and PONV) for patients undergoing non-emergent cesarean delivery. We hypothesize that the addition of stimulation of the P6 pressure point to our institutional current standard of care (phenylephrine infusion, intravenous fluid bolus, and as needed intraoperative ondansetron) will decrease the occurrence of intraoperative emesis.
NCT05030467
A two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial targeting primary care providers will be conducted to evaluate the impact of a multicomponent electronic health record (EHR) intervention on hypertension management. Given the cluster trial design, randomization will be conducted at the site level, and in the intervention sites, all eligible providers will receive the intervention. The intervention consists of enhancing tools already available to primary care providers in the EHR system, including developing and implementing provider disparities dashboards, enhancing electronic decision support, and simplifying self-monitoring orders and communication materials. The intervention aims to improve blood pressure control and reduce health disparities in racial and ethnic minorities. Findings from this trial will provide important insight into whether a multicomponent intervention targeting providers and leveraging health information technology can reduce health disparities.
NCT03328078
This is a multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-cancer activity of oral administration of emavusertib alone or in combination with ibrutinib in adult participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) hematologic malignancies. This trial will be completed in four parts. In Part A1, emavusertib will be evaluated first in a dose escalating monotherapy setting to establish the safety and tolerability (complete). In Part A2, emavusertib will be evaluated in combination with ibrutinib at 560 milligrams (mg) once daily (QD) or 420 mg QD as indicated by disease (Part A2 complete). Part B will comprise 2 cohorts to assess safety and efficacy of emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in participants with R/R primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who have directly progressed on a bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). In this part of the study, emavusertib will be dosed at 100 mg or 200 mg twice daily (BID) in combination with ibrutinib in 28-day treatment cycles. Part C will comprise 3 treatment arms in the second-line setting to assess the efficacy and safety of emavusertib monotherapy, ibrutinib monotherapy, and emavusertib in combination with ibrutinib in participants with R/R PCNSL who are naïve to BTKi treatment. In this part of the study, eligible second-line participants with R/R PCNSL who are naïve to BTKi treatment will be randomized 1:1:1 to 1 of 3 treatment arms: (1) emavusertib 200 mg BID, (2) ibrutinib 560 mg QD, or (3) emavusertib 200 mg BID in combination with ibrutinib 560 mg QD.
NCT04951206
This is a randomized placebo-controlled trial design to determine whether combining FxCO2-laser with the traditional therapy of clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment (combined treatment) as compared to FxCO2-laser and placebo ointment (FxCO2-laser only) will improve treatment response in women undergoing FxCO2-laser for vulvar lichen sclerosus. Primary objective: To evaluate if women with LS who undergo FxCO2 laser therapy and concomitant TCS (clobetasol group) have higher treatment success (defined as a MCID of a ≥16 point improvement in Skindex-29 questionnaire) than those who undergo FxCO2 laser and placebo ointment (placebo group). * Hypothesis: A higher proportion of women randomized to clobetasol will achieve treatment success as compared to those randomized to placebo. * Approach: The proportion of women in each cohort who obtain a ≥16 point improvement in Skindex-29 validated questionnaire score from baseline to final visit will be compared. Secondary objectives: To compare change in pre- and post-treatment scores on validated questionnaires measuring vulvovaginal symptoms, sexual function, lower urinary tract function, and genital self-image between the clobetasol group compared to the placebo group. * Hypothesis: Women randomized to clobetasol will demonstrate an equal or greater improvement on validated quality of life questionnaires measuring vulvovaginal symptoms, sexual function, lower urinary tract function, and genital self-image as compared to women randomized to placebo. * Approach: Change scores will be calculated to determine change per participant over the treatment period and mean change scores will be compared between cohorts.

NCT06175000
This randomized phase II trial studies how well obinutuzumab works as maintenance treatment in patients with central nervous system lymphoma who have achieved the disappearance of all signs of cancer in response to treatment (complete response) or a decrease in the size of a tumor, or in the extent of cancer in the body, in response to treatment (partial response). Immunotherapy with obinutuzumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
NCT05489549
Approximately 1.5 million of the 44 million Blacks in the United States are carriers of the valine-to-isoleucine substitution at position 122 (V122I) in the transthyretin (TTR) protein. Virtually exclusive to Blacks, this is the most common cause of hereditary cardiac amyloidosis (hATTR-CA) worldwide. hATTR-CA leads to worsening heart failure (HF) and premature death. Fortunately, new therapies that stabilize TTR improve morbidity and mortality in hATTR-CA, especially when prescribed early in the disease. However, hATTR-CA is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and conventional diagnostic tools lack diagnostic specificity to detect early disease. The overall objectives of this study are to determine the presence of subclinical hATTR-CA and to identify biomarkers that indicate amyloid progression in V122I TTR carriers. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that hATTR-CA has a long latency period that will be detected through subclinical amyloidosis imaging and biomarker phenotyping. The central hypothesis will be tested by pursuing 2 specific aims: Aim 1) determine the association of V122I TTR carrier status with CMRI evidence of amyloid infiltration; Sub-aim 1) determine the association of V122I TTR carrier status with cardiac reserve; Aim 2) determine the association between amyloid-specific biomarkers and V122I TTR carrier status; and Sub-aim 2) determine the association of amyloid-specific biomarkers with imaging-based parameters and evaluate their diagnostic utility for identifying subclinical hATTR-CA. In Aim 1, CMRI will be used to compare metrics associated with cardiac amyloid infiltration between a cohort of V122I TTR carriers without HF formed by cascade genetic testing and age-, sex-, and race-matched non-carrier controls. For Sub-Aim 1, a sub-sample of carriers and non-carrier controls enrolled in Aim 1 will undergo novel exercise CMRI to measure and compare cardiac systolic and diastolic reserve. Aim 2 involves measuring and comparing amyloid-specific biomarkers in V122I TTR carriers without HF with samples matched non-carriers (both from Aim 1) and individuals with symptomatic V122I hATTR-CA from our clinical sites. These biomarkers detect and quantify different processes of TTR amyloidogenesis and include circulating TTR, retinol binding protein 4, TTR kinetic stability, and misfolded TTR oligomers. Sub-aim 2 will establish the role of these biomarkers to detect imaging evidence of subclinical hATTR-CA disease.
NCT02220985
This phase II trial is for patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myeloid leukemia who have been referred for a peripheral blood stem cell transplantation to treat their cancer. In these transplants, chemotherapy and total-body radiotherapy ('conditioning') are used to kill residual leukemia cells and the patient's normal blood cells, especially immune cells that could reject the donor cells. Following the chemo/radiotherapy, blood stem cells from the donor are infused. These stem cells will grow and eventually replace the patient's original blood system, including red cells that carry oxygen to our tissues, platelets that stop bleeding from damaged vessels, and multiple types of immune-system white blood cells that fight infections. Mature donor immune cells, especially a type of immune cell called T lymphocytes (or T cells) are transferred along with these blood-forming stem cells. T cells are a major part of the curative power of transplantation because they can attack leukemia cells that have survived the chemo/radiation therapy and also help to fight infections after transplantation. However, donor T cells can also attack a patient's healthy tissues in an often-dangerous condition known as Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (GVHD). Drugs that suppress immune cells are used to decrease the severity of GVHD; however, they are incompletely effective and prolonged immunosuppression used to prevent and treat GVHD significantly increases the risk of serious infections. Removing all donor T cells from the transplant graft can prevent GVHD, but doing so also profoundly delays infection-fighting immune reconstitution and eliminates the possibility that donor immune cells will kill residual leukemia cells. Work in animal models found that depleting a type of T cell, called naïve T cells or T cells that have never responded to an infection, can diminish GVHD while at least in part preserving some of the benefits of donor T cells including resistance to infection and the ability to kill leukemia cells. This clinical trial studies how well the selective removal of naïve T cells works in preventing GVHD after peripheral blood stem cell transplants. This study will include patients conditioned with high or medium intensity chemo/radiotherapy who can receive donor grafts from related or unrelated donors.
NCT06893484
This is a prospective study to evaluate if successful completion of a medication abortion in patients with very early pregnancy can be detected with a urine pregnancy test at 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks. Additionally, the resolution of pregnancy symptoms in these patients will be characterized. Enrolled participants will take take weekly pregnancy tests and complete weekly questionnaires on their pregnancy symptoms for 4 weeks after their medication abortion.
