NCT04053335
Low-value care is defined as patient care that provides no net benefit to patients in specific clinical scenarios, and can cause patient harm. Prior research has documented high-rates of low-value care in Virginia; this work has helped to inspire a Virginia government-sponsored quality improvement initiative to reduce low-value care. Funded by an Arnold Ventures grant, six large health systems in Virginia volunteered to partner with the Virginia Center for Health Innovation (VCHI) to reduce use of nine low-value health services (three preoperative testing measures, two cardiac screening measures, one diagnostic eye imaging measure, one low-back pain opioid measure, one low-back pain imaging measure and one peripherally inserted central catheter \[PICC\] measure). These health systems include nearly 7000 clinicians practicing across more than 1000 sites. VCHI is implementing a nonrandomized physician peer-comparison feedback quality improvement intervention to reduce use of nine low-value services. Modeling will be used to identify and use propensity score matching to match six intervention health systems to six comparable control health systems. VCHI will provide education, quality improvement training and financial resources to each site, and VCHI will use the Milliman MedInsight Health Waste Calculator to create the peer comparison reports using the Virginia All Payer Claims Database (APCD). VCHI will use additional measures from The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Additionally, VCHI will use AHRQ data to attribute physicians and health care facilities to health systems. The primary purpose of the initiative is to improve quality of care for Virginia residents and this initiative is not being done for research purposes. Nevertheless, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) plans to rigorously study and publish the impact of this intervention across the state of Virginia, which is why the UCLA team pre-registered the initiative. The UCLA team will use the Virginia APCD to evaluate the impact of the intervention. Please note: the APCD has a 1-year time-lag of data collection and is a dynamic database, meaning that its population of enrollees changes from year to year. This intervention was initially designed as a randomized step-wedge intervention; the intervention was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and began in September 2020 for all intervention groups. The intervention period was extended through December 2022. As a result, the initial design was modified.
NCT02482311

NCT02579811
Axitinib is a drug which is approved by the FDA for patients with advanced kidney cancer who have already received some treatment. It works by reducing blood flow to a tumor. Axitinib is normally give at 5mg twice per day and sometimes this dose is increased if patients tolerate it. The purpose of this study is to figure out a different way to decide which dose of axitinib each patient should receive based on the side effects they experience.
NCT04705597
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BGE-175 in participants ≥ 50 years of age hospitalized with documented COVID-19.
NCT00063986
RATIONALE: Laparoscopic-assisted surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopy are less invasive types of surgery for esophageal cancer that may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well laparoscopic-assisted surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopy work in treating patients who are undergoing esophagectomy for high-grade dysplasia of the esophagus or stage I, stage II, or stage III esophageal cancer.
NCT02378038
This study is sponsored by Sierra Oncology, Inc. formerly ProNAi Therapeutics, Inc. It is a multi-center, single-arm, 2-stage, open-label phase II investigation of PNT2258 to characterize anti-tumor activity and collect safety data on patients with Richter's Transformation.
NCT03995212
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of twice-daily (BID) oral CR845 1.0 mg in patients with PBC with moderate-to-severe pruritus. The study includes a 16-week Treatment Period.
NCT00064350
RATIONALE: Preclinical studies indicate that sorafenib is a potent inhibitor of Raf kinase in vitro and in vivo, with significant dose-dependent, anti-tumor activity in four different human tumor types including colon, pancreatic, lung, and ovarian. This activity was cytostatic in nature and was maintained if dosing was continued. That is, tumor growth is suspended while the drug is administered but returns to baseline rates when the agent is withdrawn. Therefore, the optimal schedule will be an uninterrupted one. To assess the activity of sorafenib in a timely manner and with a meaningful interpretation, a randomized discontinuation design was adopted in the present trial, conducted in a population who were potentially sensitive to sorafenib. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying sorafenib to see how well it works compared to placebo in treating patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT02267603
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with Merkel cell cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or controlled with treatment, or has spread to other parts of the body. Pembrolizumab may stimulate the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells.
NCT00335140
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, leucovorin, vincristine, procarbazine, dexamethasone, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma.
NCT00316888
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Cetuximab may help cisplatin and fluorouracil work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. It may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving cetuximab together with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with cisplatin, fluorouracil, and radiation therapy works in treating immunocompetent patients with stage I (closed to accrual as of 11/3/2008), stage II, (some stage II closed to accrual as of 11/3/2008) or stage III anal cancer.
NCT04173026
The Dissemination and Implementation of Stroke Prevention Looking at the Care Environment (DISPLACE) study is a multi-center, national, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded grant to look at the real-world implementation of stroke prevention guidelines (STOP Protocol) in which transcranial Doppler (TCD), a measure of cerebral blood vessel velocity, is used to screen for stroke risk in children ages 2-16 with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Part 3 of the DISPLACE study is an implementation clinical trial designed to test novel implementation strategies with the goal of improving adherence and implementation of stroke screening. 16 of the lowest scoring implementation rates from DISPLACE Part 1 will participate in DISPLACE Part 3. All original 28 sites from DISPLACE Parts 1 and 2 will receive a patient and provider educational intervention including a re-branding of the TCD as "Sickle Stroke Screen" with a new infographic and educational materials. The 16 sites with moving to Part 3 will be provided a Provider reminder strategy, which is a web based application designed to remind providers of when patients are due for their Sickle Stroke Screen. These 16 sites will be randomized and 8 will be given an additional Patient Communication Strategy. These sites will have a single designed coordinator with whom patients will communicate with about scheduling, rescheduling, and any other questions regarding their Sickle Stroke Screen. Upon completion, data will be analyzed to compare those who have had TCD screenings done appropriately and those who did not as well as the overall effect of the multi level interventions on the changes in TCD rates.
