NCT04879329
This study is being done to see if a drug called disitamab vedotin, alone or with pembrolizumab, works to treat HER2 expressing urothelial cancer. It will also test how safe the drug is for participants. Participants will have cancer that has spread in the body near where it started (locally advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic). It will also study what side effects happen when participants get the drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating the disease.
NCT06326983
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study of patients undergoing tonsil surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. The overall aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an opioid anesthetic plan (morphine, ketorolac, and acetaminophen versus an opioid sparing anesthetic plan (dexmedetomidine, ketorolac and acetaminophen) for perioperative analgesia and recovery time in patients undergoing tonsillectomies and tonsillotomies at Boston Children's Hospital Waltham. Secondary measures include rescue opioids administered in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), re-operation secondary to bleeding, emergence delirium, post-operative nausea and vomiting, intraoperative hemodynamics, intraoperative vasopressor administration, and length of procedure.
NCT00871754
This is a laboratory study where the investigators hope to look at chromosomal events implicated in bladder cancer.
NCT00956007
RATIONALE: Giving radiation therapy that uses a 3-dimensional (3-D) image of the tumor to help focus thin beams of radiation directly on the tumor, and giving radiation therapy in higher doses over a shorter period of time, may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective when given alone or together with cetuximab in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has been removed by surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with radiation therapy given together with cetuximab in treating patients who have undergone surgery for locally advanced head and neck cancer.
NCT06445946
This is a non-inferiority patient-centered and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness pregnancy randomized controlled trial (RCT) with postpartum maternal and child follow-up through 2 years of 1,572 individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to oral metformin versus injectable insulin. This study will determine if metformin is not inferior to insulin in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, is comparably safe for exposed individuals and children, and if patient-reported factors, including facilitators of and barriers to use, differ between metformin and insulin. A total of 1,572 pregnant individuals with GDM who need pharmacotherapy will be recruited at 20 U.S. sites using consistent treatment criteria to metformin versus insulin. Participants and their children will be followed through delivery to two years postpartum.
NCT04617496
Nearly 90% of people with Parkinson's disease have speech and voice disorders that negatively impact their ability to communicate effectively in daily life. This study will test the hypothesis that a combined speech and exercise intervention will improve speech intelligibility in people with Parkinson's disease and speech impairment. This approach would offer an affordable way to continue to both instruct and encourage training by Veterans virtually indefinitely through the remote access technology. These findings may help VA clinicians provide optimal care for the many Veterans with Parkinson's disease and speech impairment.
NCT04656535
This is a phase 0/I exploratory study. Patients at first or second recurrence of glioblastoma will be enrolled. The study will be divided into two cohorts: Cohort A (safety cohort) and Cohort B (surgical patient cohort). Cohort A: Eligible patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive intravenous domvanalimab combined with zimberelimab (N=6). Domvanalimab will be given at a dose of 10 mg/kg and zimberelimab will be given at a dose of 240 mg (flat). The dosing was determined in a separate study in solid tumors; this cohort will confirm the safety of the dosing schedule in patients with brain tumors. Cohort B: Expansion surgical cohort. The purpose of cohort B is to provide an additional safety evaluation of domvanalimab + zimberelimab as well as tissue and blood for exploratory ancillary studies investigating the effects of domvanalimab + zimberelimab in the tumor and tumor microenvironment. A total of 46 patients will be enrolled in this cohort.
NCT06222502
The purpose of this research is to learn if different behavioral interventions can change walking behaviors over 12-weeks, in older adults who have previously suffered a non-penetrating mild or moderate TBI. Participants will provide information and be screened for eligibility via phone screening call (verification of age, confirmation that the participant is not currently on any medication that affects the central nervous system, and verification that the subject can participate in exercise, brief TBI history). Baseline testing will take place at the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health and Northeastern University Biomedical Imaging Center, for the baseline magnetic resonance imaging, in the interdisciplinary science and engineering complex on Northeastern University's campus. In person testing will take place over one session. The study period lasts 12 weeks, during which all participants will 1. Receive a weekly phone call with study staff and 2. Wear a wrist-worn Fit Bit tracker. A remote participation option is available for those who cannot travel to Northeastern University.
NCT06581146
XLMTM (X-linked myotubular myopathy) is a serious genetic muscle condition. It is caused by changes in the MTM1 gene which stops or slows down normal muscle development, causing severe muscle weakness. There is currently no cure for XLMTM. Ongoing care is needed to manage symptoms and prevent further medical problems from this condition. Recent research shows that individuals with XLMTM often have reduced bile flow which can affect liver and gallbladder health. Bile is a liquid made in the liver that helps digest fat. Ongoing liver health checks may help with the routine care of people with XLMTM. There is a need to understand liver problems that develop in individuals with XLMTM over time. The main aim of the study is to learn how many boys with XLMTM have new cases of liver problems during the study. This study is about collecting information only. This is known as an observational study. The individual's doctor decides on treatment, not the study sponsor (Astellas). In this study, boys under 18 diagnosed with XLMTM will be followed for about 1 year. The health of their liver and gallbladder will be checked about every 6 weeks. This can be done at home, if preferred. A scan called a Fibroscan (also known as transient elastography) will check for signs of scarring in the liver (fibrosis) and the build-up of lipids. It is suggested that each boy will have a Fibroscan when they start the study and another scan when they complete the study. This study will help understand liver, gallbladder, and bile duct issues in individuals with XLMTM over time. The goal is to improve their care and provide information to use in future clinical studies.
NCT05268094
COMPASS is a prospective multicenter randomized interventional trial. Participants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow will be randomized to receive either a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt or ductal artery stent. Block randomization will be performed by center and by single vs. two ventricle status. Participants will be followed through the first year of life.
NCT06866119
The goal of this observational study is to study the effects of treating women with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) with estrogen replacement therapy to bolster the evidence backing cardiometabolic preventive care in women with POI. The main question it aims to answer is: Does 6 months of estrogen replacement therapy for women with POI improved markers of heart health? Women newly diagnosed with POI (within 6 months) who are planning to start estrogen replacement therapy from their clinical provider will undergo assessment of markers of heart health before and after 6 months of treatment. These markers will also be compared to those obtained from healthy women without POI.
NCT05544929
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of KFA115 and KFA115 in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with select advanced cancers, and to identify the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose.
NCT03702725
This is a registration, open-label phase 1 study of the combination of ibrutinib/lenalidomide:/dexamethasone in women and men with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
NCT06115499
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the 3-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, plus cisplatin versus the 2-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and a known genetic mutation in the BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene.
NCT05006794
This is a Phase I open-label, multi-center study of zamzetoclax (formerly GS-9716) tested either as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer agents in patients with advanced solid malignancies. Primary objectives are to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose of zamzetoclax, and characterize the safety and tolerability of zamzetoclax as monotherapy and in combination with anti-cancer therapies.
NCT04143724
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of luspatercept in pediatric participants with β-thalassemia. The study will be conducted in 2 parts for both transfusion-dependent (TD) and non-transfusion-dependent (NTD) β-thalassemia participants: TD Part A will be in adolescent participants aged 12 to \<18 years with two dose escalation cohorts, followed by a dose expansion cohorts. NTD Part A will be conducted in the same age group participants as TD Part A with dose confirmation and expansion cohorts. After Part A TD participants have completed at least one year of treatment, all available safety data from Part A adolescent participants will be evaluated before initiating TD and NTD Part B in the age group from 6 to \<12 years old. Part B will consist of two dose escalation cohorts for TD and two dose escalation cohorts for NTD. Upon completion of the Treatment Period, participants of any cohort who are benefiting from the study treatment, will be offered the opportunity to continue luspatercept treatment in the Long-term Treatment Period for up to 5 years from their first dose. Participants who discontinue study treatment at any time will continue in the Posttreatment Follow-up Period for at least 5 years from their first dose of luspatercept, or 3 years from their last dose, whichever occurs later, or until they withdraw consent/assent, are lost to follow-up, or the End of Trial, whichever occurs first.
NCT04929483
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety, efficacy, tolerability of BIO89-100 in patients with biopsy-confirmed fibrosis stages F2-F3 NASH.
NCT03636295
This study evaluates the use of a lower INR target (1.5 to 2.5) in patients with a mechanical bileaflet heart valve in the aortic position. This study will inform physicians about whether a lower INR target will decrease the risk of bleeding or increase the risk of blood clot formation and stroke. These results have the potential to reduce the burden of bleeding in patients with a mechanical heart valve who require lifelong warfarin (Coumadin) treatment.
NCT06077500
This study is open to adults with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The study is in people with advanced cancer that are eligible for standard of care including chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1 (Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1) immunotherapy. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 (also called obrixtamig) that people can tolerate when taken together with standard of care. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Participants get BI 764532 and different standard treatments as infusions into a vein. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is given for the entire duration of the study. During this time, participants visit the study site regularly. The visits also depend on the response to the treatment. At the study visits, the doctors check the health of the participants, take necessary laboratory tests, and note any health problems that could have been caused by the study treatment.
