NCT04278560
Although the majority of older adults are aware of the compelling evidence that regular exercise is critical to the maintenance of health into old age, most do not meet recommendations for daily exercise. This lack of engagement in 'goal-directed' physical activity stems from numerous interrelated factors including lack of motivation, depressed mood, and cognitive "executive" impairments that diminish one's ability to regulate behavior over time. Intriguingly, each of these factors has been linked to the function of brain networks that include the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive and safe means of modulating the excitability of specific brain regions and their connected neural networks. tDCS designed to facilitate the excitability of the left dlPFC has been shown to improve motivation, mood, and multiple aspects of executive function in healthy adults. The investigators thus hypothesize that tDCS holds promise to increase goal-directed physical activity in older adults. This project aims to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial on the feasibility and effects of a 2-week, 10-session tDCS intervention targeting the left dlPFC, combined with behavioral intervention aimed at increases daily physical activity, on physical activity over a two-month follow-up period, in relatively sedentary older adults without overt illness or disease.
NCT02185417
The Diuretic Comparison Project aimed to evaluate whether chlorthalidone, as compared with hydrochlorothiazide, would reduce the risk of major nonfatal cardiovascular disease outcomes and non-cancer-related deaths in older patients with hypertension who were receiving hydrochlorothiazide at baseline. The investigators incorporated the pragmatic methods used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System to provide a real-world assessment of the effectiveness of chlorthalidone as compared with hydrochlorothiazide in routine clinical care.
NCT03633058
This 2 cohort, sequential, ascending dose study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of oral ketamine dosed in a single 5-day BID regimen in addition to placebo, in a 4-week cross-over design in patients with Rett Syndrome. Approximately 12 patients per cohort are anticipated to participate for approximately 8-10 weeks at approximately 7 US study centers.
NCT04031729
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), defined by fatty infiltration of the liver in the absence of excess alcohol consumption, affects an estimated 30% of adults in the United States. A proportion of people with NAFLD will develop progressive, inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to liver cirrhosis and liver failure. NAFLD is expected to be the most common indication for liver transplantation by the year 2020. We hypothesize that among adults with NAFLD, aspirin will reduce intrahepatic lipid content, as quantified by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).
NCT03992456
This phase II trial studies how well retreatment with panitumumab works compared to standard of care regorafenib or trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (TAS-102) in treating patients with colorectal cancer that is negative for RAS wild-type colorectal cancer has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), and/or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), and is negative for resistance mutations in blood. Treatment with panitumumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Some tumors need growth factors to keep growing. Growth factor antagonists, such as regorafenib, may interfere with the growth factor and stop the tumor from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TAS-102, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving panitumumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer than with the usual treatment of regorafenib or TAS-102.
NCT05532982
The ultimate goal of this project is to use the findings to develop culturally appropriate programs and resources that can be disseminated to key stakeholders to improve access to PD care and increase inclusivity in PD research for Asian Americans. This study will serve as a first step towards developing broader community and patient education programs and active outreach campaigns to increase PD-specific literacy among Asian Americans. The results from this study will elucidate the role that language barriers, cultural perceptions, family influence, and other predisposing, enabling, or need factors have on delaying care for PD among Asian Americans. It will also provide much needed insight on how to improve inclusion of Asian Americans in PD research studies.
NCT04605484
The purpose of this study is to compare Posoleucel (formerly known as ALVR105; Viralym-M) to placebo in kidney transplant recipients who have high or low levels of BK virus in their blood.
NCT02802982
Parents of infants who have been thrombocytopenic for 3-4 days will be approached for consent to enter the study. For the purposes of the study, thrombocytopenia will be defined as a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL that prompted a platelet transfusion. Following enrollment, the platelet count will be followed in each infant. Participants will enter the study if on day 5 or later after the onset of thrombocytopenia (defined as above) infants either have a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL for which a platelet transfusion is ordered.
NCT04390113
Study to Evaluate Viralym-M (ALVR105) for the Treatment of Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis (HC).
NCT06215014
The goal of this intervention is to compare the blood pressure response of young females and males to a single bout of static handgrip exercise before and after static handgrip training (4 weeks). The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Are the lowering blood pressure effects of static handgrip exercise training different between young females and males? * Which factors explain the lowering blood pressure effects of static handgrip training and possible differences between sexes? Is it an improved blood vessel dilation? Is it a reduced stiffening of blood vessels? Is it a reduced fight or flight response resulting in a lower heart rate and blood pumped by the heart into the vessels? All the above? * Which factors regulate blood pressure response during and immediately after a single bout of static handgrip exercise? All participants will be asked to: * Visit the laboratory to perform static handgrip exercise - first visit; * Participants will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to static handgrip exercise training or to a non-exercising phase, with each phase lasting four weeks. Participants will also complete the other condition (handgrip or no handgrip) after completing the first four-week condition * Return to the laboratory after the completion of both static handgrip training and no training to perform the static handgrip exercise of the first visit. The investigators will compare participants' blood pressure response to a single bout static of handgrip exercise after training to their own blood pressure response to the same bout of exercise after the non-training period.
NCT02507687
This study will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of bimatoprost SR compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are not adequately managed with topical IOP-lowering medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (e.g., due to intolerance or nonadherence).
NCT04660643
This was a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity or overweight. The main purpose was to learn more about how tirzepatide maintained body weight loss. The study had two phases: a lead-in phase in which all participants took tirzepatide and a treatment phase in which participants either continued tirzepatide or switched to placebo. The study lasted about 2 years (25 visits).
NCT02899299
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of the combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab compared to Pemetrexed and Cisplatin or Carboplatin in patients with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
NCT02000427
