NCT05009004
The proposed Phase 1 project aims to develop and test Memento.HTN, an individually-tailored, culturally sensitive digital health intervention comprised of a provider platform and linked patient SMS (short message service) text system to promote medication adherence among African Americans with hypertension (HTN), a group that suffers from disproportionate HTN morbidity and mortality. Memento.HTN overcomes access barriers on the part of patients and adherence support implementation barriers on the part of healthcare teams and systems. Memento.HTN is innovative in three key ways: 1) it is the first-ever linked digital provider platform and patient SMS text system for HTN medication adherence; 2) it is culturally-tailored for African Americans with HTN; and 3) it has unique monitoring functionality allowing providers to monitor individual patient adherence, support 'new start' patients, and track group adherence rates by drug class, pill format, and patient demographics.
NCT04856176
Metastatic lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide with a 5-year survival of less than 5%. With the approval of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in advanced lung cancer, such as pembrolizumab, there has been an improvement in overall response rates (ORR) and survival compared to chemotherapy. However, there is still a need for improvement in response rates in first-line treatments for patients with stage 4 NSCLC without genetically targetable alterations, especially in those patients with PDL-1 \<50%. This trial is important because it seeks to discover whether the responses seen in first line treatments with PD-1 inhibitors + chemotherapy can be augmented with the addition of GM-CSF during the maintenance phase with pembrolizumab +/- pemetrexed.
