NCT04068103
This phase II/III trial studies how well circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) testing in the blood works in predicting treatment for patients with stage IIA colon cancer after surgery. ctDNA are circulating tumor cells that are shed by tumors into the blood. Finding ctDNA in the blood means that there is very likely some small amounts of cancer that remain after surgery. However, this cancer, if detected, cannot be found on other tests usually used to find cancer, as it is too small. Testing for ctDNA levels may help identify patients with colon cancer after surgery who do benefit, and those who do not benefit, from receiving chemotherapy.
NCT05141006
Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic and debilitating urological complex of disorders characterized by symptoms of bladder pain or discomfort, mostly upon bladder filling, and often accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This study will assess how safe and effective BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is in treating IC/BPS. Adverse events and change in disease symptoms will be evaluated. BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS). Study doctors randomly assign the participants to 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms, to receive BOTOX or placebo. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Approximately 80 female participants, aged 18 to 75 years, with a diagnosis of IC/BPS will be enrolled in approximately 40 sites in the United States and Canada. Participants will receive BOTOX or placebo injected into the bladder on Day 1 and will be followed for at least 12 weeks in treatment 1. Eligible participants may request additional dose of BOTOX between Weeks 12 and 24, and will be followed for 12 weeks in treatment period 2. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
NCT01701258
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain pathways within adult females (with a history of CSA that occurred between the ages of 5-14) with and without a current diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). Hypotheses: The CSA/MDD participants will be characterized by (1) reduced reward responsiveness and prefrontal cortex activity, but increased cortisol levels, (2) reduced dopamine activity, and (3) reduced dopamine transporter binding. The over-arching purpose of the study is to (1) identify individuals at risk for psychopathology and maladaptive behavior, (2) prevent re-victimization, and (3) develop more targeted therapeutic interventions.
NCT06136546
This study is a mechanistic randomized controlled trial that investigates whether inhibition of tumor necrosis factor signaling via intravenous infusion of infliximab improves psychomotor speed and executive functioning in depressed individuals who exhibit an inflammatory phenotype.
NCT06882096
We are doing this research to learn how healthy younger and older adults use two forms of vitamin B3-called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide (NAM)-to make NAD+. NAD+ is a natural substance that cells need for energy and other important processes. Our goal is to find out how these NAD precursors are absorbed and metabolized and how they raise NAD+ in different tissues. Who can join? Healthy adults men and women aged 18 to 40 (younger group) or 65 and older (older group) Participants with a body mass index ranging between 19 and 35 No major health issues like diabetes or severe kidney disease What will happen? Participants will take labeled or unlabeled NMN or NAM by mouth every day for 14 days. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and stool samples. Researchers also do a small muscle biopsy (under local numbing) twice to check how these NAD precursors raise NAD+ in muscle. Why is this important? NAD+ levels may drop as people age, and this drop could affect overall health and energy in cells. A better understanding of how NMN and NAM are metabolized in the body to raise NAD+ levels in both younger and older adults may help us optimize dosing and strategies for raising NAD in older people. Possible benefits and risks: Participants may not get any direct health benefit from this study; the main goal is to gather new knowledge. NMN and NAM appear safe in the doses used. A muscle biopsy may cause soreness or bruising. Researchers will monitor participants closely for any side effects throughout the study.
NCT06959316
T1D Pregnancy \& Me will partner with pregnant participants living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the United States to collect real-world data on management of T1D in pregnancy. This is a remote study where participants can complete online surveys and share device data (continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data and insulin data). Through the collection of CGM, insulin, and pregnancy outcome data, the study will provide important information to understand how diabetes is being managed during pregnancy. These data will provide much needed evidence to guide modern management of diabetes during pregnancy with a goal of improving care and outcomes.
NCT04974528
INHALE-1 is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Afrezza in combination with a basal insulin (i.e., the Afrezza group) versus insulin aspart, insulin lispro or insulin glulisine in combination with a basal insulin (i.e., the Rapid-acting Insulin Analog \[RAA\] injection group) in pediatric subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Following 26 weeks of randomized treatment (i.e., Afrezza or RAA injection combined with a basal insulin), all subjects will enter a treatment extension where subjects will receive Afrezza until Week 52. The purpose of the treatment extension is to assess safety and efficacy with continued use of Afrezza. Pediatric subjects ≥4 and \<18 years of age will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Afrezza group or the RAA injection group. The study is composed of: * Up to 5-week screening/run-in period * 26 week randomized treatment period * 26-week treatment extension * 4-week follow-up period
NCT01864122
The overall objective of this research proposal is to determine whether the predictive value of using plasma concentrations of selected nutrient biomarkers of food intake determined using a single plasma sample either alone or in combination are stronger, objective predictors of subsequent death from coronary heart disease (CHD) or myocardial infarct (MI) compared to selected food intake data derived from subjective, self-reported food frequency questionnaires.
NCT03990051
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pro-ocular™ 1% topical gel administered twice daily for 70 days in reducing or eliminating symptoms and signs of chronic ocular GvHD.
NCT06099730
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate the safety and 12-month effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior LA wall isolation in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation using the pulsed field ablation with the VARIPULSE™ catheter and the TRUPULSE™ generator.
NCT06009159
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome with clinical symptoms involving multiple systems. The efficacy of current treatments is inadequate, and more alternative modalities are needed for the management of FM patients. The parasympathetic vagus nerve innervates and integrates sensory, motor, and autonomic systems and has been suggested to play a role in pain modulation. The role of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a treatment option for FM patients is yet to be investigated. The investigators propose to examine the hypothesis that vagus nerve stimulation could improve pain and related comorbid symptoms for FM patients.
NCT06500741
The purpose of this study is to quantify the preferences for novel hormonal therapy (NHT) +/- androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) vs ADT monotherapy among patients with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (PC) in the United States (US), Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom (UK), South Korea, Australia, and Brazil, using a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
NCT02040714
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder which is common enough to be a significant public health problem (affects 1 in 740 boys between ages 0-14), but uncommon enough to have a sufficient number of patients from a single institution to perform a definitive prospective study comparing the results of current treatments. The present study will establish a database of prospectively identified patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) Disease and collect information regarding their presentation, treatment, and outcomes in the course of receiving currently available treatments. This study seeks to compare the outcomes of current treatments in the management of different age groups (ages 1-6, 6-8, 8-11, \>11) of patients with Perthes disease at two- and five-year followup and at skeletal maturity. For each age group, two to three common treatment regimens currently used by practicing pediatric orthopaedic surgeons will be compared. The intervention a patient receives is determined through physician treatment expertise, and is not pre-determined by the study.
NCT05839535
