This trial will evaluate safety and tolerability of letetresgene autoleucel (GSK3377794) with or without pembrolizumab in participants with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT03063619
This randomized phase II trial studies how well afimoxifene works in reducing the risk of breast cancer in women with mammographically dense breast. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using afimoxifene may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.
NCT04925427
Reducing Opioid Mortality in Illinois (ROMI) is 5-year research study led by the University of Chicago in partnership with the University of Illinois at Chicago's (UIC) Community Outreach Intervention Projects (COIP), the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) and the American Institutes for Research (AIR). ROMI aims to understand and test strategies for linking individuals with a history of opioid use disorder who are released from Illinois jails and prisons to substance use treatment. ROMI is one of twelve grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) to support research on quality addiction treatment for opioid use disorder in criminal justice settings nationwide.
NCT02901899
The purpose of this study is to look at how patients respond to treatment with guadecitabine and pembrolizumab. The researchers will also be looking at the amount of time it takes for cancer to get worse when participants take the study drugs. All participants will be treated with guadecitabine and pembrolizumab. Guadecitabine interferes with the cancer cells' DNA and can increase the production of certain proteins, making cancer cells more recognizable by the immune system. Pembrolizumab helps your immune system to kill cancer cells. Thus the combination of guadecitabine and pembrolizumab may increase the ability of the immune system to eliminate cancer cells. Researchers want to find out whether the combination of guadecitabine and pembrolizumab is effective in treating ovarian cancer that has not responded to traditional chemotherapy. Participants will keep receiving treatment until their cancer gets worse, they have side effects, or they decide they don't want to receive the treatment anymore. After stopping treatment, the study doctor will watch participants for side effects and follow their condition every 6-12 weeks. The study aims to keep track of participants' medical conditions for the rest of their lives. This helps us look at the long-term effects of the study drugs.
NCT04285658
The goals of this study are to improve the ability of pediatric patients and their caregivers to select surgical treatment options for kidney stones and to enable urologists to use techniques that result in the best outcomes for these surgeries.
NCT03788746
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of pre-treatment tumor tissue PD-L1 expression in patients diagnosed with advanced urothelial carcinoma.
NCT05387707
This is a two-part, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral difelikefalin as adjunct therapy to a topical corticosteroid (TCS) for moderate-to-severe pruritus in adult subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD).
NCT00630032
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them after surgery may kill any tumor cells remaining after surgery. It is not yet known whether docetaxel is more effective than ixabepilone when given after surgery and combination chemotherapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving combination chemotherapy followed by docetaxel or ixabepilone to compare how well they work in treating patients who have undergone surgery for nonmetastatic breast cancer.
NCT05049330
Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are serious, but rare events in children. Spinal precautions (rigid cervical collar and immobilization on a longboard) in the prehospital setting may be beneficial for children with CSI, but are poorly studied. In contrast, spinal precautions for pediatric trauma patients without CSI are common and may be associated with harm. Spinal precautions result in well-documented adverse physical and physiological sequelae. Of substantial concern is that the mere presence of prehospital spinal precautions may lead to a cascade of events that results in the increased use of inappropriate radiographic testing in the emergency department (ED) to evaluate children for CSI and thus an unnecessary, increased exposure to ionizing radiation and lifetime risk of cancer. Most children who receive spinal precautions and/or are imaged for potential CSI, and particularly those imaged with computed tomography (CT), are exposed to potential harm with no demonstrable benefit. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a Pediatric CSI Risk Assessment Tool that can be used in the prehospital and ED settings to reduce the number of children who receive prehospital spinal precautions inappropriately and are imaged unnecessarily while identifying all children who are truly at risk for CSI.
NCT03734588
SPK-8016 is in development for the treatment of patients with inhibitors to FVIII. This Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, dose-finding study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of SPK-8016 in adult males with severe hemophilia A and no measurable inhibitor against FVIII.
NCT06018194
The goal of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel plaque-based coronary CT angiography (CCTA) fractional flow reserve (FFRct) software device for the estimation of invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). Researchers will compare the Elucid plaque-based FFRct analysis to invasively measured FFR in patients who have previously undergone CCTA and invasively assessed FFR.

NCT03023540
All randomised patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A (CMT1A) who completed the primary study CLN-PXT3003-02, i.e. treatment with PXT3003 or placebo, are eligible to continue in the extension study CLN-PXT3003-03. Period 1: Patients randomised to PXT3003 dose 1 or placebo in the primary study (CLN-PXT3003-02) continued in the extension study on PXT3003 dose 1 (5 mL). Patients randomised to PXT3003 dose 2 (5 mL) in the primary study (CLN-PXT3003-02) continued in the extension study on PXT3003 dose 2 or PXT3003 twice dose 1 (2x5 mL). Period 2: All patients continue on twice dose 1 (2X5mL).
NCT01911195
Currently it is unknown how the human brain reorganizes its network organization to generate conscious experience and cognitive activity after a period of unconsciousness. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess how cognitive activity is reconstructed after general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesize that the brain's transition from unconsciousness to consciousness and full cognition is a complex process that occurs over an extended period of time. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize the following order of cognitive reconstitution: responsiveness to command, attention, complex scanning and visual tracking, working memory, and executive function. Volunteers will be healthy participants who are anesthetized with commonly used anesthetic drugs as well as a non-anesthetized group to control for circadian influences. A total of 60 subjects will be recruited for this study. All subjects (male and female) will perform basic tests for cognition on a laptop computer at 30-minute intervals during this study. The testing battery to be administered was assembled to assess multiple cognitive functions in order to determine whether and how cognitive processes return to baseline function. Electroencephalogram (measuring brain electrical activity) data will be monitored and recorded during both anesthesia and cognitive testing, for subsequent analysis. This study is significant because it could lead to a better understanding of the neural correlates of human consciousness, as well as normal and abnormal conscious state transitions (including barriers to such transitions).
NCT03429543
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an empagliflozin dosing regimen and one dose of linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are aged 10 to below 18 years and are currently taking metformin, insulin or both drugs (DINAMO TM) or who are treatment naïve or not on active treatment after metformin withdrawal (DINAMO TM MONO) . Empagliflozin and linagliptin are both approved for use in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will assess how well empagliflozin and linagliptin work by finding out how these treatments affect blood glucose (sugar) levels compared to placebo (a pill that contains no active drug), in children and adolescents. Empagliflozin and linagliptin are considered investigational products in this study since while they have been approved for use in adults, they have not been approved for children and adolescents due to lack of clinical studies in this specific population. Patients with type 2 diabetes have higher levels of blood glucose (sugar) than patients who do not have this disease. The high level of sugar in the blood can lead to serious short-term and long-term medical problems. The main goal of treating diabetic patients is to lower blood glucose to a normal level. Lowering and controlling blood glucose help prevent or delay complications of diabetes such as heart disease, kidney, eye and nerve diseases, and the possibility of amputation. Empagliflozin is a drug that helps to reduce blood glucose (sugar) levels by causing glucose to be excreted in the urines. Linagliptin works by increasing the production of insulin (a hormone that controls the level of blood glucose) after meals when blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high. This helps to lower blood sugar levels. The subject will either receive one of the active study drugs or a placebo. This study will be double blind; this means that neither the subject, nor the study doctor will know which treatment the subject will receive. Which treatment the subject receives is decided by a computer, purely by chance; this is called a "random assignment". For this study, there will first be a screening visit, followed by a 2-week placebo run-in period (all subjects will take placebo once daily). This run-in period is designed to ensure subjects are able to take the study drugs as described in the study protocol. Thereafter there will be a 26-week treatment phase (week 1-week 26) and a 26-week safety extension period (week 27-week 52). Following this there will be a follow-up visit at week 55. On Day 1 after the placebo run-in phase, the subject will be randomly assigned to receive one of the 3 treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo in a blinded manner. This treatment will continue up to week 14. Then after week 14, the subject will be assigned to receive one of the following 4 treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo in a blinded manner. The drugs assigned after week 14 will be the same drugs as on Day 1 but some subjects will receive a higher dose of empagliflozin. After the completion of the 26-week treatment period, the subject will enter a 26-week safety extension period. The same active treatment that the subject had been assigned to at week 14 visit will be continued. Subjects assigned to placebo on Day 1 will be randomly assigned to receive one of the 3 active treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg or linagliptin 5 mg in a blinded manner. This safety extension period is primarily designed to provide additional information on how well empagliflozin and linagliptin are tolerated. Following the treatment phases, there will be a follow-up visit at week 55 Intervention model description: Eligible subjects with HbA1c of 6.5% to 10.5% at screening will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive empagliflozin 10 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo. HbA1c assessment will be performed at Week 12. All subjects with Week 12 HbA1c \< 7% will remain on previously assigned randomized treatment. Subjects taking empagliflozin with Week 12 HbA1c \>= 7% will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to continue on the low dose treatment (empagliflozin 10 mg) or up-titrate to the high dose treatment (empagliflozin 25 mg). Subjects taking linagliptin or placebo with Week 12 HbA1c \>= 7% will remain on previously assigned treatment. All subjects will get new medication kits dispensed at Week 14 to maintain the blinding. At Week 26, all subjects previously assigned to placebo will be re-randomized in a 1:1:1: ratio to receive one of the active treatments: empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg or linagliptin 5 mg. All subjects will get new medication kits dispensed at Week 14 to maintain the blinding.
NCT04934137
Pressure-related injuries in individuals with SCI and persons who use wheelchairs are one of the most dangerous secondary health problems encountered throughout the lifespan. With recurrence rates as high as 79% and mortality rates as high as 48% when sepsis is present, there exists a critical clinical need to target prevention of pressure injuries. This study will examine the effects of two novel seat mapping technologies ("AW-Shift" and "Sensoria") on increasing in-seat movement in persons who may be at risk for pressure injuries due to altered sensation on their sitting surface. AW-Shift provides a visual display about pressure distribution directly between the body and the seat cushion to a wheelchair user outside of a clinical setting. Sensoria represents a novel technology to promote tissue health by providing users with information about their daily in-seat movement and providing weight shift reminders that are based on time since previous weight shift activities. Changes in the frequency of in-seat movement behaviors will be compared between baseline and each intervention period.
NCT04581785
The SUNRISE trial is a first-in-human (FIH), open-label, Phase 1/2 clinical trial designed to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of hLB-001 in pediatric patients with MMA characterized by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase gene (MMUT) mutations. hLB-001 is a liver-targeted, recombinant engineered adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector utilizing the LK03 capsid (rAAV-LK03), designed to non-disruptively integrate the human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase gene at the albumin locus. The trial is expected to enroll pediatric patients with ages ranging from 6 months to 12 years, initially starting with 3 to 12 year-old patients and then adding patients aged 6 months to 2 years.
