NCT05139602
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and often painful inflammatory skin disease which includes the forming of lumps, abscesses and scars in areas of the skin such as under the breasts, under armpits, inner thighs, groin and buttocks. Despite the clinical benefit anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy offers to patients with HS, there remains a significant unmet medical need for patients who fail to achieve adequate benefit with anti-TNF therapy. This study will compare lutikizumab (ABT-981) versus placebo for the treatment of adult participants with moderate to severe HS who have failed anti-TNF therapy. Lutikizumab (ABT-981) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HS. In the Main Study, participants will be put in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Around 160 adult participants with moderate to severe HS who have failed anti-TNF therapy will be enrolled in the study at approximately 50 sites worldwide. In the Sub-study, participants will be put in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Both arms will receive treatment at different dosing intervals. Around 40 adult participants with moderate to severe HS who are naïve to biologic therapy will be enrolled in the study at approximately 20 sites. In the Main Study, participants will receive subcutaneous injections of lutikizumab (ABT-981) or placebo every week for 16 weeks. In the Sub-study, participants will receive subcutaneous injections of lutikizumab (ABT-981) every week for the first 15 weeks, then either every week or every other week for 36 weeks. There will be an optional Long Term Extension (LTE) for participants who completed Week 52 of the Sub-study and, as confirmed by the investigator, have shown a therapeutic benefit to study drug. Participants would then received lutikizumab using the same assigned dosing regimen as that from Period 2 of the Sub-study for an additional 104 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires and diaries.
NCT07246837
Urine culture is the most common microbiological test in the outpatient setting in the United States. Unfortunately, contamination during collection is prevalent and undermines test accuracy, leading to incorrect diagnosis, unnecessary treatment, wasted laboratory resources, and inflated costs. Unnecessary antibiotic treatment increases the risk of developing antimicrobial resistance, one of the most serious threats to patients and public health. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a bilingual (English and Spanish) educational intervention, an animated video and pictorial flyer, can reduce urine culture contamination and associated inappropriate antibiotic use in adult patients visiting safety-net primary care clinics. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does providing patients with a bilingual educational intervention reduce urine culture contamination rates? 2. Does the intervention lead to fewer unnecessary urinary antibiotic prescriptions? 3. Does providing patients with a bilingual educational intervention reduce contaminated urinalyses? Researchers will compare patients randomized to receive the educational intervention (video and flyer) to those receiving usual care to see if the intervention improves urine collection accuracy and reduces inappropriate antibiotic use. Participants will watch a short, animated video with step-by-step instructions for proper midstream clean-catch urine (MSCC) collection, receive a pictorial flyer (with stills from the video) reinforcing the instructions, and provide a urine sample for culture. Hypothesis: patients who receive the educational intervention will have: lower urine culture contamination rates (primary outcome), fewer urinary antibiotic prescriptions (secondary outcome), and fewer contaminated urinalyses (secondary outcome). The objectives are to (1) develop educational tools: Create an animated video and pictorial flyer with step-by-step urine collection instructions for women and men, developed through an iterative, stakeholder-engaged process, (2) assess acceptability: Use mixed methods (quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews) to evaluate and refine the tools for usability and cultural/linguistic appropriateness, and (3) test effectiveness: Conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the intervention's impact on urine contamination rates, antibiotic prescribing, and patient satisfaction.
NCT01949662
This randomized phase II trial studies how well haloperidol with or without lorazepam works in reducing confusion, disorientation, and inability to think or remember clearly (delirium) in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Palliative therapy with haloperidol and lorazepam may reduce symptoms of delirium and help patients with advanced cancer live more comfortably. It is not yet known whether lorazepam may be an effective treatment for delirium when given with haloperidol.
NCT06127797
To create a registry (database) of participants who come in for breast MRI scans. Researchers want to use this information to study if participants with dense breast tissue (tissue that is more difficult to see on mammogram).
NCT05372484
The study aims to compare the accuracy of the lateral flow test to detect HPV at the POC with commercially available HPV test and to determine the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of a multimodal optical imaging system to detect cervical dysplasia, with the gold reference standard of histopathology.
NCT06777368
The purpose of this study is to generate clinical evidence on valve safety and performance in subjects treated by redo Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).
NCT04160052
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax and azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
NCT07407920
This phase II trial tests reduced post surgery (adjuvant) therapy for patients with early breast cancer who have confirmed that the disease has responded completely (pathologic complete response) after pre surgical treatment (neoadjuvant) therapy and do not have any tumor genetic material (molecular residual disease) circulating in their blood. Standard of care treatment after surgery consists of 1 year of pembrolizumab for patients with triple negative breast cancer or trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab to complete 1 year of treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Pertuzumab and trastuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to a receptor protein called HER2. HER2 is found on some cancer cells. When pertuzumab or trastuzumab attach to HER2, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Lowering the total amount of cancer therapy after breast surgery, may continue to keep the great tumor response to treatment, and may help lower the amount of side effects patients have.
NCT03898856
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug Crofelemer in the treatment of non-HIV patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea; to determine the prevalence of identifiable causes of chronic diarrhea in a non-HIV patients; to assess the diagnostic yield, in terms of identification of treatable etiologies, of commercially available diagnostic evaluations in adult, non-HIV patients with chronic idiopathic diarrhea, that is, evaluate which tests, among the standard diagnostic tests commonly conducted as part of the evaluation of chronic idiopathic diarrhea, are most likely to identify a treatable cause of the diarrhea; and to analyze the relationship between chronic idiopathic diarrhea and health-related quality of life and assess the impact of crofelemer treatment on health-related quality of life.
NCT06179875
The investigational drug, VRDN-001, is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). The primary objectives of this clinical trial are to provide open-label access to VRDN-001 for participants who were previously non-responders at 3 weeks post the fifth IV infusion (i.e., 15 weeks) in the VRDN-001-101 (THRIVE) and VRDN-001-301 (THRIVE-2) pivotal studies and assess the safety and efficacy of VRDN-001 in participants who were previously treated with VRDN-001 or placebo.
NCT03101748
This phase I/II trial studies the side effect and best dose of neratinib and to see how well it works with paclitaxel and with or without pertuzumab and trastuzumab before combination chemotherapy in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Neratinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with pertuzumab and trastuzumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving neratinib, pertuzumab, trastuzumab, paclitaxel and combination chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with breast cancer.
NCT05197049
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with Crohn's disease.
NCT06550011
This will be a clinical study to assess initial safety and tolerability of IVT ABI-110 in patients diagnosed with wet macular degeneration (wAMD), including symptomatic macular PCV.
NCT07160179
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the abnormal growth of new blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye called the retina. Geographic Atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of dry AMD. The purpose of this study is to assess the adverse events and how intravitreal ABBV-6628 moves through the body of adult participants with secondary to age-related macular degeneration ABBV-6628 is an investigational monoclonal antibody fragment being developed for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to (AMD) age-related macular degeneration. Participants in the Stage 1 part will be placed in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Participants in Stage 2 will be placed into 1 of 2 groups. Each group receives different treatment. Adult participants aged 50 and older years with a diagnosis GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration will be enrolled. Around 66 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 27 sites across the US. Participants in Stage 1 will be given ABBV-6628 as an intravitreal injection (injection into the jelly-like tissue that fills the eyeball injection) with dose escalation. Participants in Stage 2 will receive ABBV-6628 or SYFOVRE, an approved treatment for geographic atrophy, administered as per the FDA-approved label. The treatment duration is approximately 22 months and 3 months of follow-up. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular weekly visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
NCT06952699
Narcolepsy without cataplexy or Narcolepsy Type 2 (NT2) is a lifelong condition that makes people very sleepy during the day, regardless of how much sleep they get at night. People with NT2 may fall asleep suddenly, have trouble staying awake during the day, or may not be able to sleep well at night. They may have difficulty thinking clearly, paying attention, or remembering things, during the day. These symptoms can make daily activities like driving, working, or caring for their families challenging, impacting their quality of life. Orexin is a chemical made in the brain that helps keep a person awake and alert. TAK-360 acts like orexin. Previous studies have shown that medicines that act like orexin may keep people awake. The main aim of this study is to learn how safe TAK-360 is and how well adults with NT2 tolerate it. Researchers also want to find out if TAK-360 can help people with NT2 stay awake and determine the right dosage needed to do that. Participants will be randomly (by chance, like drawing names from a hat) assigned to get either TAK-360 or placebo in the treatment period. The placebo is a pill that looks just like TAK-360 but does not have any medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers learn about the real effect of the treatment.
NCT06525077
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of FT218. FT218 drug product is a once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate for extended-release oral suspension. The study will enroll subjects who are diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. Subjects will be eligible to enroll regardless of current treatment with oxybate therapy or stimulants/alerting agents at study entry. The estimated total duration of study for each subject is approximately 18 weeks, including the Screening period.
NCT02320435
This is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label extension study designed to provide continued pertuzumab therapy to patients receiving pertuzumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche-sponsored global study and who continue to receive pertuzumab at the end of the Parent study, as well as to collect long-term safety and efficacy data of pertuzumab therapy. Patients with solid tumors who have not experienced progressive disease in the Parent study and, in the investigator's opinion, may potentially benefit from continued pertuzumab treatment, will continue to receive pertuzumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator/patient decision, patient non-compliance, patient death, patient request to withdraw, or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.
NCT05067283
This is a study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of calderasib alone, and calderasib plus other combination therapies in participants with advanced solid tumors with identified kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog G12C (KRAS G12C) mutation.
NCT05923099
The purpose of this trial is to test different doses of the trial medicine (LEO 138559) and see how well they work and how safe they are at treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adults. There will be 4 different doses, that will also be compared to a placebo (a dummy medicine that doesn't contain the active ingredient of LEO 138559). Each participant will be randomly assigned to one of the 4 doses of LEO 138559 or placebo. In all arms, injections of placebo may be used to mask the different doses. The trial will last up to 36 weeks, including a screening/washout period (up to 4 weeks), a treatment period (16 weeks), and a follow up period (16 weeks). The participants will visit the clinic 17 times. For the first 4 weeks of the treatment period, participants will visit the clinic every week. For the next 12 weeks of the treatment period, participants will visit the clinic every 2 weeks. For the 16 week follow up period, participants will visit the clinic every 4 weeks. The treatments will be given to the participants by staff at the clinic. They are given as an injection just under the skin. At each visit the doctor will check the participants atopic dermatitis and if they have had any side effects. Participants will also complete an electronic diary every day about their atopic dermatitis and quality of life. LEO 138559 is also called "Temtokibart".
NCT06585462
