The Clover trial is evaluating an investigational vaccine that may help to prevent Clostridium difficile infection. Participants in the study are adults 50 years of age and older, who are at risk of developing Clostridium difficile infection. The study will assess whether the vaccine prevents the disease, and whether it is safe and well tolerated. Each subject will receive 3 doses of Clostridium difficile vaccine or placebo and be followed for up to 3 years after vaccination for potential Clostridium difficile infection.
NCT03175367
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the reduction of LDL-C by evinacumab in comparison to placebo after 16 weeks in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, or non-HeFH with a history of clinical ASCVD) with persistent hypercholesterolemia despite receiving maximally-tolerated LMT. Persistent hypercholesterolemia is defined as LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) for those patients with clinical ASCVD and LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) for those patients without clinical ASCVD.
NCT02603133
Resilience means a healthcare provider's ability to cope, recover, and learn from stressful events, as well as their access to resources that promote health and well-being. Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) health professionals' need to have particularly good resilience, because their work is extremely stressful and their patients, fragile preterm infants, require their undivided attention. The investigators propose a feasible and engaging intervention to enhance resilience among NICU health professionals promoting their ability to provide safe care.
NCT05418023
This study involves sample collection to identify biomarkers relating to Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) in the saliva of children who are between the ages of 18 months to 6 years and 11 months. Participants will at each timepoint have a non-invasive saliva swab collected and complete a brief demographic and medical history questionnaire as well. Children in the pediatric/provider setting who will receive a referral for an ASD diagnosis because they were determined to have a suspicion of developing ASD will be enrolled in the study. Children will also be enrolled in the specialist evaluation setting where they will receive a DSM-5 diagnosis. A subset of both enrollment cohorts will also be followed up with at a third time point in which their diagnosis will be confirmed, and information about any ongoing treatment will be gathered.
NCT02049957
This is a phase 1b/2 study of the safety and efficacy of sapanisertib (MLN0128) in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant therapy in women with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer who progressed on treatment with everolimus in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant.
NCT02256631
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of three monoclonal antibodies, VRC01, VRC01LS, and VRC07-523LS, in HIV-exposed infants who are at increased risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission.
NCT01673867
The purpose of the study is to compare the overall survival of BMS-936558 (Nivolumab) as compared with Docetaxel in subjects with non-squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy
NCT03941496
Tuberculosis has been shown to make immune genes inaccessible and slows immune response The purpose of this research is to see if if azacitidine is safe and can return the ability of the body to resist tuberculosis (TB), a contagious infection that attacks the lungs. Individuals with tuberculosis are being asked to participate. Some will receive a drug to restore a host immunity while others can choose to receive standard of care. All patients will continue to receive standard of care tuberculosis therapy regardless of whether they chose to participate in the study. This study is a Phase Ib/IIa single-institution, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial of sub-cutaneous azacitidine in pulmonary TB patients during the continuation phase of ATT.
NCT03739307
This is a five year multi-site, cross sectional, observational study designed to examine chronic pain and pain treatment after moderate to severe TBI.
NCT04707664
The purpose of this research is to understand if the study drug, also called sargramostim or Leukine®, can help prevent the worsening of COVID-19 when the study drug is inhaled. This study will also help researchers understand if inhaled sargramostim can help prevent visits to the emergency room or hospitalization, or death.
NCT05284604
Frailty is a health state related to the aging process in which multiple body systems gradually lose their built-in reserves. It is a medical condition of reduced function in older adults which is associated with increased risks of adverse outcomes such as falls, disability, admission to hospital, or need for long-term care. Currently, there is no specific medical treatment of frailty. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated cells that self-replicated, and some may change into a particular cell type. These cells go to areas of injury due to signals released by injured cells. Upon reaching, the target tissue, MSCs repair injury by releasing growth factors and immune modulators to assist in the body's repair process. This initial study will assess the practicability of using MSCs for age-related frailty and provide information for planning a future full study of MSCs for maximizing Veteran's functional independence.
NCT04236284
Gulf War Veterans (a DoD/VA defined service era corresponding to the first Gulf War under operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield 1990-1991), especially those who present with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), are particularly likely to experience chronic pain. Veterans with co-morbid chronic pain and PTSD utilize healthcare services at a higher rate than those with pain or PTSD alone. Unfortunately, there are no integrated treatments for Pain and PTSD. Moreover, non-pharmacological treatments for pain such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are useful in only about 50% of cases. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be an effective treatment for pain, and has been recently used to ameliorate PTSD symptoms. Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is highly effective in treating PTSD symptoms. Therefore, we propose to (a) integrate \& (b) gather feasibility data for home-based tDCS + PE for Pain and PTSD with 15 Gulf War Veterans. The Overall Aim of the present proposal is to integrate, refine and investigate the feasibility (e.g., pilot testing, recruitment, attrition, assessment) of tDCS for treating chronic pain with a best practices evidence-based treatment for PTSD (i.e., Prolonged Exposure: PE) in 15 Gulf War veterans, a group for which both pain (fibromyalgia) and PTSD are particularly problematic.
NCT02051608
Part 1 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in participants with mild Alzheimer disease. Participants will be randomized to receive either gantenerumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks. Approved Alzheimer medication is allowed if on stable dose for 3 months prior to screening. Part 2 is an open-label extension (OLE). A positron emission tomography (PET) imaging substudy will be conducted within the main study. Eligible participants who provide separate informed consent will undergo PET imaging scans using the radioligand florbetapir as a pharmacodynamic measure of changes in brain amyloid load over time.
NCT02830542
The study will involve administering a single dose of investigational drug or placebo in ascending dose cohorts. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational drug as well as the efficacy of investigational drug versus placebo in adults with primary (first episode) Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 open-label, multicenter, dose escalation, safety, pharmacodynamic, and PK study of CDK-002 in subjects with advanced/metastatic, recurrent, injectable solid tumors, whose disease has progressed despite receiving standard of care treatment. CDK 002 will be administered intratumorally (IT). Part A will enroll subjects with advanced/metastatic, recurrent, injectable solid tumors with emphasis on head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).
NCT04360096
Brief Summary: SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is known to cause Lung Injury that begins as dyspnea and exercise intolerance, but may rapidly progress to Critical COVID-19 with Respiratory Failure and the need for noninvasive or mechanical ventilation. Mortality rates as high as 80% have been reported among those who require mechanical ventilation, despite best available intensive care. Patients with severe COVID-19 by FDA definition who have not developed respiratory failure be treated with nebulized ZYESAMI™ (aviptadil acetate, a synthetic version of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP)) 100 μg 3x daily plus Standard of Care vs. placebo + Standard of Care using an FDA 501(k) cleared mesh nebulizer. The primary outcome will be progression in severity of COVID-19 (i.e. critical OR severe progressing to critical) over 28 days. Secondary outcomes will include blood oxygenation as measured by pulse oximetry, dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and levels of TNFα IL-6 and other cytokines.
NCT02442765
Participants with agitation secondary to dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) was to be based on the "2011 Diagnostic Guidelines for Alzheimer's Disease" issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA)-Alzheimer's Association (AA) workgroups.
NCT02070328
Proton therapy is a limited medical resource that is more expensive than conventional x-ray therapy. To correctly measure the success of proton therapy in treating different conditions, it is important to check a patient's health status after their treatment is finished. Checking on the progress of patients over many years (called long-term follow-up) is needed because the long-term effects of proton therapy are not well known.
NCT02996864
College students are in a newly independent phase of life; many of whom encounter unhealthy dietary decision- making, barriers to physical activity, and poor sleep behaviors. Healthy Detours is a location-based smartphone application tailored in real-time to a student's schedule and locale, and aims to guide students toward healthier eating, exercise, and lifestyle choices as a way to prevent the onset of damaging and costly health outcomes. Through a randomized control trial, this Phase II project will test the effectiveness of an evidence-based smartphone application that will provide students with on-demand, location-specific information about healthy lifestyle choices.
