This phase II trial studies the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients who have ovarian stromal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
NCT02554786
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of QMF149 (QMF149 150/160 µg and QMF149 150/320 µg via Concept1) over two respective MF doses (MF 400 µg and MF 800 µg via Twisthaler® (total daily dose)) in poorly controlled asthmatic participants as determined by pulmonary function testing, and effects on asthma control
NCT02164721
The purpose of this trial or study is to determine if cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be a benefit to people who have impaired heart function due to past treatment with chemotherapy and/or chest radiation. The investigators are looking to enroll approximately 30 eligible subjects with heart failure in this trial. All patients enrolled and registered in the study will be implanted with a cardiac resynchronization therapy device that includes an implantable cardiac defibrillator (CRT-D). Clinical histories, physical exams, and external device testing will be collected both at the time of enrollment in the trial and during follow-up study visits. Following implantation of the CRT-D, patients will be contacted by phone at 3 months and will have a scheduled clinic visit follow-up at 6 months.
NCT02953314
This is a Phase 3, 2-part (Part A and Part B), open label, multicenter study evaluating the pharmacokinetic (PK), safety, and tolerability of multiple doses of tezacaftor (TEZ) in combination with ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects 6 through 11 years of age with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del- CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) mutation.
NCT00062881
This research study is an investigational treatment with the experimental drug Mafosfamide. This treatment is only for children with cancer that has spread to the meninges (tissues that cover the spinal column and brain) and has continued to grow despite treatment with standard therapy. Mafosfamide is a drug reported to have antitumor effects in animals and that has been given safely into the cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid within and surrounding the brain) in a small number of children and adults. Since there is limited experience in adults and children in giving mafosfamide in this way, the main purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate safe dose of mafosfamide when given intrathecally, that is directly into the cerebrospinal fluid. The purposes for this study are to (a) determine what dose of mafosfamide can be safely given into the cerebrospinal fluid through an Ommaya reservoir (surgically implanted catheters used to sample cerebrospinal fluid and to instill medication into the cerebrospinal fluid) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) or lumbar reservoir; (b) look for side effects of drug treatment; (c) to study the pharmacology (how the human body handles the drug) when given directly into the spinal fluid; and (d) see if this drug is beneficial to the patient.
NCT01848236
We would like to determine if vitamin D insufficiency exists in different ethnic groups, if it has an effect on bone mass and muscle function, if it has an impact on the function of the cells of the immune system, and if the functioning level of these systems can be improved by stabilizing the vitamin D levels to within normal limits.
NCT01383161
This project is designed to study the effects of the dietary supplement curcumin on age-related cognitive impairment. In particular, the study seeks to determine the effects of curcumin on cognitive decline and the amount of abnormal amyloid protein in the brain. Genetic risk will also be studied as a potential predictor of cognitive decline. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: either a placebo twice daily or the curcumin supplement (Theracurmin®, containing 90 mg of curcumin). The investigators expect that the volunteers receiving the curcumin supplement will show less evidence of decline after 18 months than those receiving the placebo. The investigators predict that cognitive decline and treatment response will vary according to genetic risk for Alzheimer's. The investigators will study subjects with memory complaints aged 50-90 years. Initially, subjects will undergo a clinical assessment, an MRI and a blood draw to determine genetic risk and to rule out other neurodegenerative disorders linked to memory complaints. Subsequently, subjects will undergo an -(1-{6-\[(2-\[F-18\]fluoroethyl)(methyl)amino\]-2-naphthyl}ethylidene)malononitrile (FDDNP) PET scan and a baseline neuropsychological assessment to confirm a diagnosis of MCI or normal aging. Once enrolled, subjects will begin taking the supplement (either curcumin or a placebo). Some of the initial subjects will be asked to return every three months for regular MRIs. Every 6 months, subjects will also receive neuropsychological assessments. At the conclusion of the study, subjects will be asked to complete a final neuropsychological assessment, MRI scan, PET scan and blood draw. Additional blood will be drawn at baseline and at 18 months and frozen to assess inflammatory markers if cognitive outcomes are positive. FDDNP-PET scans will be used to measure the amount of abnormal amyloid plaque- and tau tangle-proteins in the brain; the MRIs will be used to monitor supplement side effects and measure brain structure; the neuropsychological assessments will monitor rates of cognitive decline; the blood draws will be used to determine genetic risk and to test levels of inflammatory markers.
NCT03717233
Study will evaluate the use of lower-limb assistive exo-skeletons worn on the ankle and foot. Participants will wear the exo-skeletons and walk in a safe environment. Measurements will be taken to determine how the exo-skeletons affect the pressure on the feet of people with diabetic foot ulcer and how they walk.
NCT03021187
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide versus placebo in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus treated with insulin. All subjects should continue their pre-trial insulin therapy (basal, basal-bolus or premixed regimen including combinations of soluble insulins) throughout the trial. Subjects treated with metformin in addition to insulin treatment must continue their metformin treatment throughout the entire trial.
NCT02093130
This project is designed to study whether pomegranate juice benefits cognitive abilities in middle-aged and older non-demented volunteers. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: either a placebo or the pomegranate juice. Subjects will drink eight ounces of the pomegranate juice or placebo daily for twelve months. The investigators expect the people receiving the pomegranate juice to show better cognitive performance compared with those receiving a placebo after one, six, and twelve months. The investigators believe cognitive decline and treatment response will vary according to a genetic risk for Alzheimer's. The investigators will study 212 non-demented subjects aged 50-75 years. Initially, subjects will undergo a clinical assessment, an MRI and a blood draw to determine genetic risk and to rule out other neurodegenerative disorders linked to memory complaints. Subsequently, subjects will undergo the first memory (or neuropsychological) assessments. Following the first assessment, subjects will begin drinking the juice (either the pomegranate juice or the placebo). Subjects will undergo a brief memory test at one-month mark. At six months, subjects will have a second, full neuropsychological assessment. The final assessment will take place at the end of the study, the 12-month mark. Additional blood will be drawn at baseline and at 12 months and frozen to assess inflammatory markers if outcomes are positive. In total, subjects will be expected to come to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for 5 visits during the course of 12-13 months.
NCT01818596
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet on renal parameters at Week 24 in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced HIV-positive, adults with mild to moderate renal impairment.
NCT02249182
The primary objective of the PK Lead-in Phase of the study is to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected pediatric participants. The PK Lead-in Phase will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of 10 days of dosing of LDV/SOF FDC in HCV-infected pediatric participants. The Treatment Phase will be initiated by age cohort after confirmation of age-appropriate LDV/SOF FDC dosage levels. Participants from the PK Lead-in Phase will immediately rollover into the Treatment Phase with no interruption of study drug administration. The primary objective of the Treatment Phase is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LDV/SOF FDC +/- ribavirin (RBV) for 12 or 24 weeks in pediatric participants with HCV. During screening, participants will receive placebo to match LDV/SOF FDC to assess ability to swallow tablets.
NCT03106428
To assess safety and tolerability, describe the dose-limiting toxicities, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the highest protocol-defined dose (maximum administered dose) in the absence of establishing the MTD, and a recommended dose for further evaluation of MEDI7247 in patients with selected hematological malignancies who have relapsed after, or are refractory to prior standard therapy, and for whom there is no standard salvage regimen available.
NCT03919409
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human study involving single and multiple oral doses of TS-161 in healthy male and female participants. The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TS-161 will be evaluated. The study includes 3 parts; Part A (single ascending dose: Cohorts 1 to 5) , Part B (single dose, cerebrospinal fluid \[CSF\] collection: Cohort 6), and Part C (multiple ascending dose: Cohorts 7 to 9). Participants will be assigned to one of the 9 Cohorts.
NCT01668355
People with serious mental illness have difficulty making good use of primary care, and die, on average, years earlier than others in the population. The greatest contributors to this premature mortality are medical illnesses, especially cardiovascular disease and cancer. The Patient Centered Medical Home is a model for reorganizing primary care practice so that healthcare is more effective, efficient, and user-friendly. It has been implemented across VA as the, "Patient Aligned Care Team" (PACT). It is unclear, however, how this PACT model applies to people whose predominant illness is treated by specialists. This is the case for people with serious mental illness (SMI), many of whom receive ongoing treatment at mental health clinics. To achieve optimal health outcomes in the population with SMI, it may be necessary to adapt the PACT model so that it includes approaches that have proven to improve healthcare in this population. This project implements an adapted "SMI-PACT" model, and evaluates its effect on Veterans with SMI.
NCT02341664
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
NCT02360488
The current study will test the effectiveness of a novel home-based telehealth system designed to improve motor recovery and patient education after stroke. A total of 124 subjects (the number may be larger depending on the rate of subject dropout) with arm motor deficits 4-36 weeks after a stroke due to ischemia or to intracerebral hemorrhage will be randomized to receive 6 weeks of intensive arm motor therapy (a) in a traditional in-clinic setting or (b) via in-home telerehabilitation (rehabilitation services delivered to the subject's home via an internet-connected computer). The intensity, duration, and frequency of this therapy will be identical across the two groups, with subjects in both treatment arms receiving 36 sessions (18 supervised and 18 unsupervised), 80 minutes each (including a 10 minute break), over 6 weeks. The primary endpoint is within-subject change in the arm motor Fugl-Meyer (FM) score from the Baseline Visit to 30 Day Follow-Up Visit. Arm motor status is the focus here because it is commonly affected by stroke, is of central importance to many human functions, and is strongly linked to disability and well being after stroke.
NCT02766023
This Phase 2b trial is designed to provide a screening evaluation for the hypothesis that, following a 5-day treatment with MetroGel® to treat BV, L. crispatus CTV-05 (LACTIN-V, Osel, Inc.) administered at 2 x 10\^9 cfu/dose using a vaginal applicator reduces the 12-week incidence of BV recurrence when compared to placebo. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To estimate the efficacy of repeated doses of LACTIN-V (2 x 10\^9 cfu/dose) as compared to placebo in preventing BV recurrence by 12 weeks following treatment of BV with MetroGel vaginal gel (MetroGel). 2) To assess the safety of LACTIN-V over 24 weeks by comparing the incidence of AEs between individuals randomized to LACTIN-V or placebo.
