NCT01578317
Background: \- Adjuvants are substances included in vaccines that stimulate the immune system and increase the body's response to the vaccine. The AS03 adjuvant is used in seasonal flu vaccines in Europe. However, it has not been fully tested in the United States. Researchers want to test the immune responses of people who receive a bird flu vaccine with or without AS03 to better understand how the adjuvant works. This information may help develop better flu vaccines. Objectives: \- To compare the healthy immune system responses to bird flu vaccine with or without the AS03 adjuvant. Eligibility: \- Healthy volunteers between 18 and 45 years of age. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. * Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. Each group will have an initial vaccine, followed by a booster vaccine 21 days later. Both vaccinations will use the same type of vaccine. One group will have the vaccine with AS03; the other group will have the vaccine without it. * All participants will have two 36-hour inpatient stays to receive the vaccine. Each stay will involve the vaccination, followed by regular and frequent blood draws. Participants will be monitored for any signs or symptoms that may be caused by the vaccine. * Additional blood samples will be collected 7, 28, 42, and 100 days after the initial vaccination.
NCT02802592
EPOgen and Restrictive Transfusions in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery (EPORT)
NCT01838655
Background: \- Oculocutaneous albinism, type 1B (OCA1B) is a genetic disease caused by problems in the gene that makes tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amino acid needed to produce pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. People with OCA1B have pale skin, white hair, and light-colored eyes. Pigment in the back of the eye helps vision, so people with OCA-1B often have visual problems. Researchers want to see if a drug called nitisinone can help improve eye pigmentation and vision in people with OCA1B. Nitisinone is approved for treating a related genetic disease that causes problems with tyrosine, so it may help people with OCA1B. Objectives: \- To see if nitisinone can help improve eye pigmentation and vision in people with OCA1B. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have OCA1B. Design: * This study will last about 18 months. It requires eight outpatient visits, each about 3 months apart. Each visit will require 1 to 2 days of testing. * Participants will be screened with a physical exam, eye exam, and medical history. They will have additional vision and neurological tests. They will be tested to see how their brain and retinas respond to light. They will also take hair and blood samples, and answer questions about diet. * Participants will receive the study drug. They will take one pill a day for 1 year. They will keep track of the dose in a study diary. * At the outpatient visits, participants will have the following tests: * Medical history and physical exam * Neurological and eye exams * Retina function tests * Tests of the skin and brain's response to light * Blood and urine tests * Dietary consultation * Visual function questionnaire. * After the end of the study, participants will return to the care of their regular eye doctor.
NCT02671292
To determine whether reducing loss of control eating (LOC) with Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Weight Gain (IPT-WG) will be effective for adolescent military-dependents who report such behavior. The investigators will examine whether IPT-WG influences body weight gain trajectories and prevents worsening disordered eating, psychosocial problems, and metabolic functioning among military dependents at heightened risk for adult obesity and disordered eating. This study will provide key efficacy data for a new promising obesity prevention program for youth from military families.
NCT01046669

NCT01841762
SYMPHONY is prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3b psychometric validation study of the PAH-SYMPACT, a new quality of life questionnaire for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients will be in the study for 5 1/2 months, 4 months of which they will receive macitentan, 10 mg, once daily. The primary objectives are to demonstrate the final content validity of the PAH SYMPACT instrument, to demonstrate the psychometric characteristics of reliability and construct validity of the PAH-SYMPACT instrument, and to demonstrate the ability of the PAH SYMPACT instrument to detect change. The secondary objective is to assess the safety of macitentan in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The exploratory objective is to explore the effects of macitentan on PAH symptoms and their impact (as measured by the PAH-SYMPACT) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
NCT01662908

NCT00135707
Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. This can cause problems in the second half of pregnancy for both the mother and fetus. This study of preeclampsia consists of two parts: 1) a randomized, placebo controlled, multicenter clinical trial of 10,000 low-risk nulliparous women between 9 and 16 weeks gestation and 2) an observational, cohort study of 4,000 patients between 9 and 12 weeks gestation who are also enrolled in the trial. Subjects in both parts will receive either 1000 mg of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E or matching placebo daily. The purpose of the randomized, clinical trial is to find out if high doses of vitamin C and E will reduce the risk of preeclampsia and other problems associated with the disease. The study will also evaluate the safety of antioxidant therapy for mother and infant. Patients will be seen monthly to receive their supply of study drug, to have weight and blood pressure recorded, to have urine protein measured, and to assess any side effects. At two visits, blood and urine will be collected. The observational, cohort study will prospectively measure potential biochemical and biophysical markers that might predict preeclampsia. These patients will have additional procedures including uterine artery Doppler and blood drawn for a complete blood count (CBC).
