NCT01276782
The last two decades have witnessed an explosion of new research documenting the deleterious impact that thyroid disease has on pregnancy and the postpartum period, in relation to miscarriage preterm delivery intelligence quotient of the unborn child and health of the mother postpartum. Both subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid antibody positivity in euthyroid women have been associated with miscarriage and preterm delivery. Approximately 5% of all pregnant women have a thyroid disorder. both spontaneous miscarriage and preterm delivery. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology, has also been documented to negatively impact pregnancy. Women with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)have increased rates of miscarriage and preterm delivery. Women with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also have increased rates of hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD, defined as the presence of thyroid antibodies with or without thyroid dysfunction). Preterm delivery (PTD), defined as birth prior to 37 weeks gestation, is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in the United States. Although risk factors for preterm delivery exist, the majority of women have no known risk factors. Recently, both hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disease have also been linked to preterm delivery. Given the increased prevalence of negative outcomes documented in pregnant women with thyroid disease, and the increased rates of hypothyroidism and Autoimmune thyroid disease in women with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the investigators determined that Autoimmune thyroid disease was associated with both preterm delivery and miscarriage. This has led to this application to begin a pilot randomized clinical trial of thyroxine in autoimmune thyroid disease in systemic lupus erythematosus pregnancy.
NCT02164812
The purpose of this study is to determine whether multiple doses of Efavirenz has an effect on the QTc interval (corrected by Fridericia) in CYP2B6 \*1/\*6 and \*6/\*6 healthy subjects.
NCT00729664

NCT01859052
The purpose of this study is to look at two different diets (a low carbohydrate diet and a low fat diet) for migraine prevention in overweight or obese persons with migraine. The overall aim is to test the theory that diet will improve migraine frequency and that such improvements will be associated with favorable changes in body weight, inflammation, and heart health.
NCT01686217
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles of three different strengths of ASP015K extended release formulation and an immediate release formulation and to evaluate food effect on extended release strengths in healthy volunteers.
NCT01945853
This is a pilot study to identify the degree of grey and white matter involvement in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) utilizing non-invasive techniques. The imaging to be utilized will be the 7 Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. These results will be correlated to the ALS Functional Rating Scale - Revised (ALSFRS-R) score to assess if any changes in MRI can be predictive in the disability of the ALS patients at baseline and at 6 month intervals. The participants will be asked to return every 6 months for a neurological examination, ALSFRS-R assessment, measurement of the vital capacity and MRI as outlined above to monitor progression of the disease.
NCT00719446
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe lung condition that causes respiratory failure. The ARDS Network (ARDSNet) is a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-sponsored network that is focused on improving treatments for people with ALI and a similar condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study will evaluate participants who were enrolled in one of three ARDSNet studies to examine how the treatments carried out in the prior studies affect participants' long-term health outcomes and quality of life.
NCT00375908
The investigators propose to compare the proteomic analysis of umbilical venous blood from neonates with brain injury to gestational age matched noninjured controls. After delivery an umbilical arterial gas and a 10 ml umbilical venous sample are obtained, then the remainder of the cord blood is discarded. The investigators plan to use this cord blood that would otherwise be discarded to perform our proteomic analysis. The investigators will use up to 20 ml of cord blood per delivery. This will be a 5 year study during which time the investigators hope to analyze 450 infants at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Bayview Medical Center. The investigators will obtain an umbilical venous sample from infants born at \< 34 weeks gestation. For infants born at \> 34 weeks the investigators will obtain an umbilical venous sample for any infant suspected to be at risk for neurologic injury by having a diagnosis of chorioamnionitis during labor, nonreassuring fetal heart rate tracing at the time of delivery, or a 5 minute Apgar \< 7. For the infants born at \< 34 weeks the brain injured infants will be compared to gestational age matched controls without brain injury. For the infants born at \> 34 weeks, each infant later confirmed to have neurologic morbidity will be compared to a gestational age matched noninjured control. The investigators hope to use proteomic analysis to determine if there are measurable differences in protein expression between the 2 groups.
NCT00466024
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of a combination of HEPA room air cleaners plus an ETS reduction behavior training as compared to either HEPA air cleaners plus standard asthma education or delayed HEPA air cleaners and standard asthma education (control group).
NCT00300248
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a severe lung condition that causes respiratory failure. Individuals with ALI/ARDS often require the use of a respirator or artificial breathing machine, known as a mechanical ventilator, while in an intensive care unit (ICU). Past research has shown that improved short-term clinical outcomes result from the use of a protective mechanical ventilation technique for the lungs. This study will evaluate the effects of lower tidal volume ventilation, and other aspects of critical illness and ICU care, on the long-term clinical outcomes of individuals with ALI/ARDS.
NCT00796289
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of pulsatile GnRH delivered from a iontophoretic patch (Lutrepatch) for induction of ovulation in women with anovulatory/ oligoovulatory infertility, compared to placebo and to a reference treatment with clomiphene citrate.
NCT00498914
A study in subjects with a type of B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)to evaluate the response rate, efficacy, safety and tolerability of YM155
NCT01369615
The purpose of this study is to characterize the long-term safety of oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl) controlled-release (CR) tablets in opioid experienced pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years, inclusive, with moderate to severe malignant and/or nonmalignant pain requiring opioid therapy who completed the 4 -week treatment period in OTR3001.

NCT00135577
Study SB-767905/008 was a multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of multiple dosage regimens of an investigational drug for the treatment of constipation due to prescription pain medication in participants with cancer pain. Study ABD101684 will serve as an extension to Study SB-767905/008 and offer continued access to blinded investigational product to participants who have completed the original study. The purpose of Study ABD101684 is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alvimopan compared to placebo in subjects who completed Study SB-767905/008 and elected to participate in this extension study.
NCT00159224
This study will assess the safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of a simplified PI-based treatment regimen (Kaletra,ä) compared to conventional HAART regimens in patients infected with HIV-1 who are on their first boosted-PI antiretroviral treatment regimen. The potency of the antiviral activity of Kaletra has been clearly demonstrated in a wide spectrum of patients in a number of different clinical trials.6-9 The durable viral suppression seen after 4 years of therapy10 proves that it can provide effective, long-term treatment for people with HIV-1. Data from one of these trials (M97-720),6 an ongoing Phase II study of lopinavir/ritonavir in combination with NRTIs suggests there may be a role for monoclass therapy with Kaletra in the treatment of HIV-1-infection.
