NCT01663402
Primary Objective: To compare the effect of alirocumab with placebo on the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events (composite endpoint of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, unstable angina (UA) requiring hospitalization) in participants who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event 4 to 52 weeks prior to randomization and were treated with evidence-based medical and dietary management of dyslipidemia. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on secondary endpoints (any CHD event , major CHD event, any CV event, composite of all cause mortality/non-fatal MI/non-fatal ischemic stroke, CHD deaths, CV deaths, all cause mortality). * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on lipid parameters.
NCT03205345
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of emricasan in improving event-free survival based on a composite clinical endpoint (where all-cause mortality, new decompensation events, and MELD score progression are events) in subjects with decompensated NASH cirrhosis.
NCT02840487
Background: The Zika virus is passed to humans by infected mosquitos. It usually causes fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. Recently, some cases of microcephaly (abnormally small head) were reported in babies born to mothers infected with the Zika virus. Rare cases of a severe nerve weakness called Guillain-Barr(SqrRoot)(Copyright) syndrome were reported in some people with Zika virus infection. There is currently no cure for or vaccine against the infection. VRC-ZKADNA085-00-VP is a new vaccine that instructs the body to make a small amount of Zika virus protein. The body may use this to build an immune response. Objective: To see if VRC-ZKADNA085-00-VP is safe and causes any side effects. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18 35 Design: Participants will be screened through a separate protocol with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Lab and urine tests Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 study groups. They will have about 18 clinic visits over 2 years. Most will occur in the first year, with long-term follow-up visits at months 18 and 24. Visits include a physical exam and blood and urine tests. Participants will have vaccine injections. A high-pressure device pushes the vaccine through the skin and into the muscle of the upper arm. They will have 2-3 injections depending on their group. Vaccine visits last 4-6 hours. Others last 1-2 hours. Participants will keep a diary for 7 days after each injection. They will record their temperature and measure any skin changes at the injection site each day. Participants might have extra visits and blood tests if they have health changes.
NCT02887690
The purpose of this study is to optimize the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) advanced upper limb prosthesis, the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL), by evaluating the performance, usability, and patient acceptance of the MPL in a clinical setting. This study will be a non-randomized limited clinical optimization study. The study will consist of two phases. Up to twenty-four upper extremity amputees will be recruited in order to ensure twelve subjects for participation in the study: 6 trans-humeral amputees and 6 trans-radial amputees. During Phase 1, subjects will be evaluated for their potential to operate the MPL using a virtual limb controlled by signals from surface electromyograms (sEMG). The first six trans-humeral amputee subjects and the first six trans-radial amputee subjects with a demonstrated proficiency controlling the MPL based on analytical performance metrics will enter Phase 2. During Phase 2, each subject will be fitted for the prosthesis with a custom socket. The user will then evaluate the prosthesis during twelve 1- hour or 1 and one half-hour sessions, working with an occupational therapist and research associates and completing both quantitative and qualitative assessments.
NCT02132767
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic strategies of rate control versus rhythm control in cardiac surgery patients who develop in-hospital postoperative atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF). In patients who develop AF during hospitalization after cardiac surgery, the hypothesis is that a strategy of rhythm control will reduce days in hospital within 60 days of the occurrence of AF compared to a strategy of rate control.
NCT00807040
People with coronary artery disease (CAD) or people who have had a heart attack may develop a leak in the mitral valve of their heart and may therefore need to undergo surgery to fix the valve. The best way to fix the mitral valve remains undetermined. This study will evaluate whether it is better for people with severe mitral valve leakage to undergo a mitral valve replacement procedure or a mitral valve repair procedure.
NCT02867709
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 doses of ubrogepant (25 and 50 mg) compared to placebo for the acute treatment of a single migraine attack.
NCT02954978
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder causing motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is characterized by death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta and formation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies (LBs) that primarily contain aggregated alpha-Synuclein. Nilotinib (Tasigna®, AMN107, Novartis, Switzerland) is approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is well tolerated for CML treatment at oral doses of 600-800mg daily. Nilotinib penetrates the brain and promotes autophagic degradation of alpha-Synuclein and p-Tau, leading to survival of DA neurons and improvement of motor function in PD models. For these studies, Nilotinib (1-10mg/kg daily) was used at significantly less than the clinically approved dose (up to 1200mg daily) in CML.
NCT02246491
This research is being done to better understand the causes of the disease Ataxia-Telangiectasia and, in the longer-term, develop new therapies for the disease using stem cells. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are a type of cells that can be made in the laboratory from cells in your body, such as blood cells or skin cells (fibroblasts). These stem cells can then be used for research purposes. For example, stem cells can be used to investigate how the mutation in ATM causes the actual symptoms of Ataxia-Telangiectasia. In addition, the stem cells can be used to screen for drugs that could be helpful to treat the disease or to develop new laboratory techniques to correct the mutation that causes Ataxia-Telangiectasia. where the mutation that causes the disease is corrected by the investigators. The stem cells generated in this study will not be used directly for patient therapy and therefore this research does not have a direct benefit to you. However, it will help advance our understanding of the disease and develop future therapies. Patients who enroll in this study will get all of the standard therapy they would get for their tumor whether or not they participate in this study. There is no extra or different therapy given. The study involves a one-time procedure (either blood collection or skin biopsy).
NCT01894165
Phase 1 single dose study of ALXN1101 in healthy volunteers.
NCT01522248
Some people experience symptoms just after receiving the seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine. The cause of some of these symptoms is likely to be an immune response to the vaccine. The investigators would like to look at the earliest immune responses to the inactivated influenza vaccine. This pilot study will help us to determine at what time points we should look.
NCT03169530
The Moderate Alcohol and Cardiovascular Health Trial (MACH15) is a multicenter, worldwide, randomized clinical trial of \~15 gm of alcohol daily versus abstention, using a balanced parallel design and single-blind assessment of all outcomes among approximately 7,800 participants aged 50 years and older with advanced cardiovascular risk. Intervention will average 6 years in duration with a common close-out date. Following recruitment and pre-screening, participants will attend a screening visit followed by a two-week abstention washout period, a baseline visit and randomization, and subsequent visits at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually until close-out.
