NCT04107649
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion. Growing evidence suggests that while pain and functional status improve following TKR, physical activity (PA) typically does not surpass pre-TKR levels. Engagement in PA can meaningfully improve quality of life (QoL), pain, and function. Given the large investment in TKR, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of TKR could be substantially increased if TKR recipients became more physically active. The Knee Arthroplasty Activity Trial (KArAT) is a randomized controlled trial and participants will be randomly assigned to one of three arms. Participants across all arms will receive usual post-operative care for TKR surgery. Participants in the first arm will complete basic study activities, such as responding to surveys and attending two in-person clinic visits. Participants in the second arm will do the same and also receive a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. Participants in the third arm will receive a telephonic active coaching (motivational interviewing) and financial incentives (for reaching physical activity goals) (TAC(MI)+FI) based intervention, as well as a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. The second and third arms will be eligible to receive lottery-based financial rewards for wearing a wrist-worn activity tracker for twenty-four months during the study.
NCT05753748
The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.
NCT05489588
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single-arm, clinical study to evaluate the performance, safety and efficacy of the GORE® VIABAHN® FORTEGRA Venous Stent (formerly known as GORE® VIAFORT Vascular Stent) for treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous obstruction.
NCT06526078
In a sample of patients already receiving ketamine (or esketamine) treatment as part of their clinical care, this project seeks to test whether we can enhance and/or extend (es)ketamine's rapid effects by introducing helpful information delivered by a computer-based cognitive training protocol. This work could ultimately lead to the ability to treat depression more efficiently and with broader dissemination by rapidly priming the brain for helpful forms of learning.

NCT05667701
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare soy isoflavones to placebo in children who at risk of asthma and have a genetic variation which results in them making more of a pro-inflammatory protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. The main questions this trail seeks to answer is: will soy isoflavones decrease the proportion of infants with aT2 high endotype at the end of treatment, and secondarily decrease the number of wheezing episodes in these children when given in the first year of life. Participants will be asked to ingest soy isoflavone or placebo twice daily mixed into a liquid or puree vehicle for 7 months from randomization. There will be 3 mandatory in-person visits, and 6 virtual visits in the first year. There will also be 11 monthly questionnaires and 1 in person visit in the observation year. Participants will have 4 nasal swabs, 3 blood draws, and also provide 4 stool samples over the course of the study.
NCT06769880
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can increase participant engagement and changes in behavior among adults with risk factors for pre-symptomatic heart failure presenting to the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does POCUS increase understanding of heart failure and the likelihood to improve diet, exercise, and follow up? 2. Does POCUS improve diet, exercise, follow up, and self-efficacy at three months post-intervention? Researchers will compare an educational intervention with versus without POCUS to see if POCUS works to improve outcomes. Participants will: Receive either the educational intervention alone or an educational intervention plus POCUS. They will report the difference in their understanding and likelihood to improve diet, exercise, and follow up immediately post-intervention. They will also report changes in diet, exercise, follow up, and self-efficacy at three months post-intervention.

NCT07228390
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Ritlecitinib) for the possible treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS is a disease causing long lasting painful red skin lumps. This study is seeking participants who: * have moderate or severe HS * have previously received antibiotics for HS that did not help, or could not tolerate antibiotics Participants will be randomly (like a flip of coin) assigned to receive either the study medicine or a placebo (a pill that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The study medicine or placebo will be taken by mouth once daily at home. For the first part of the study, participants will receive a loading (starting) dose. For the next part of the study, participants will receive a maintenance (ongoing) dose. Participants will take part in the study for about 24 weeks (about 6 months). There will be about 10 study clinic visits: a screening visit, Day 1, and then every 1, 2, or 4 weeks until week 16. At each visit, participants will report on their health and have tests such as physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. Participants will record when they take the study medicine and their HS symptoms every day in an eDiary on a mobile phone. The experiences of participants receiving the study medicine will be compared to those receiving placebo to help see if the study medicine is safe and effective.
