The primary objective is to evaluate whether macitentan 10 mg reduces N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as compared to placebo in these patients.
NCT02846532
The Purpose of this study is to characterize the single and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/ PD) profiles after oral rivaroxaban therapy administered to pediatric participants 2 to 8 years of age with single ventricle physiology who have completed the Fontan procedure within 4 months prior to enrollment (Part A) and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban, administered twice daily (exposure matched to rivaroxaban 10 milligram \[mg\] once daily in adults) compared to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), given once daily (approximately 5 milligram per kilogram \[mg/kg\]) for thromboprophylaxis in pediatric participants 2 to 8 years of age with single ventricle physiology who have completed the Fontan procedure within 4 months prior to enrollment.
NCT03707158
The Kids FACE FEARS (Kids Formats of Anxiety Care Effectiveness study For Extending the Acceptability and Reach of Services) is a large-scale, streamlined, pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) evaluating Therapist-Led CBT (telehealth, office-based, or hybrid) vs. Guided Online Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of elevated child and adolescent anxiety. Families will be recruited from pediatric health centers serving primarily racial/ethnic minority youth in urban, suburban, and semi-rural regions. Services will be offered in English and Spanish. Patient-centered outcomes will be evaluated across a one-year follow-up period. To compare the effectiveness of the two treatment comparators, investigators will analyze the reports of caregivers, youth, and therapists, as well as independent evaluators who are not informed of each child's treatment assignment. Primary outcomes will focus on family-rated anxiety severity and impairment, treatment responder and remission status rated by independent evaluators, family-perceived effectiveness, and treatment satisfaction. Secondary analyses will examine additional outcomes, predictors of varied outcomes across different subgroups of youth, and facilitators and barriers to treatment implementation. Caregivers, patients, providers, and other key stakeholders will be actively engaged throughout all aspects of the research.

Identifying effective ways to improve function, slow decline and reduce disability is a high priority for people living with Parkinson disease and other chronic conditions. Regular participation in walking is essential to reduce disability and enhance participation in preferred life activities. However, people with chronic conditions are often sedentary, contributing to greater disability. The goal of this work is to determine the benefits of a walking, walking enhancing exercises and cognitive-behavioral strategies delivered using mobile health technology for people with Parkinson disease over a sustained period of time.
NCT05258890
This study aims to compare the efficacy of a social network intervention versus individual hypertension counseling to improve blood pressure control after stroke. The investigators hope to understand whether the involvement of family, friends and other members of individual's social network can help achieve better blood pressure after experiencing a stroke. Participants will be stratified to two groups according to network size (\<5 vs 5 or more) and randomized to receive individual hypertension counseling (control) or the social network intervention. The primary outcome of the study will be the absolute reduction in systolic blood pressure at 3 months follow-up. The secondary outcomes will be attainment of a post-stroke hypertension treatment goal and patient-reported physical function.

NCT05579509
This is a prospective, randomized study in patients who receive a nerve block prior to surgery. The aim is to investigate whether individual differences in psychosocial and pain profiles may play a role in how patients experience sedation for regional anesthesia. The study will utilize a mixed-methods approach, including a randomized controlled intervention and semi-structured interviews, in order to systematically investigate the relationship between an individual patient's level of catastrophizing and efficacy of procedural sedation, while exploring patient satisfaction with the preoperative nerve block experience.
NCT05646446
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of an intervention to address reducing alcohol use, sexual revictimization, and psychological distress among bisexual+ women (i.e., attraction to more than one gender: bisexual, pansexual, queer). The main questions the study seeks to answer are: 1) what is the feasibility of the recruitment method, research design, interventionist training methods, and delivery of the intervention; 2) does the intervention, relative to control, at the 2- and 4-month follow-up period, produce reductions in the quantity and frequency of alcohol use, sexual victimization, and psychological distress (anxiety, depression). Follow-up assessments are completed at 2- and 4-months following program completion. The intervention is compared to a wait list control group.

NCT05825898
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a public health problem: moderate / severe TR are common, especially in ageing populations, and affect 4% of the population \>75 years old, totaling approximately 1.6 million in the US and 3 million in Europe. TR is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Contrasting with TR prevalence and the magnitude of the problem, the vast majority of patients are medically treated with diuretics to relieve their symptoms and a curative surgical treatment for isolated severe TR is seldom performed. Reluctance to perform an ITVS can be explained in the one hand by the limited evidence that TR correction improves outcomes and on the other hand, ITVS is associated to high observed in-hospital mortality rates (≈ 10% remarkably consistent in most series across the literature). Severity of the clinical presentation is the main predictor of outcome after surgery. The TRI-SCORE, is a dedicated, simple and accurate risk score model to predict in-hospital mortality after ITVS that could guide the clinical decision-making process at the individual level. Excellent outcomes can be achieved when patients present with low TRI-SCORE. These results suggest adopting a more pro-active approach for TV interventions, and to intervene earlier in the course of the disease in patients with severe isolated TR, irrespective of TR mechanism / etiology, before the occurrence of advanced / irreversible consequences such as severe RV dilatation / dysfunction, renal and liver failure, and intractable heart failure. Recently transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) have emerged recently as a less invasive option to surgery to cure patients with TR. What is the best treatment between medical, surgical or transcatheter therapy to consider and the best timing for each patient are not clearly defined. The aim of the study is to compare outcome of patients with significant functional TR according to medical, transcatheter or surgical treatment after matching per TRISCORE.
NCT03692715

NCT04277325
70 couples (married or cohabiting) will be recruited across 5 countries (12-18 in each country: Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, México, and Spain). After their entry into the study is confirmed, couples will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: intervention or control (no intervention). In each country, both groups will have equal number of couples. Couples in the intervention group will receive 20 sessions of Emotionally Focused couple Therapy (EFT). Couples in the control group will receive no intervention during the study period (they will receive a shorter intervention after the trial is over). Participants of both groups will fill questionnaires before allocation, during the intervention period and after the intervention period. The main outcomes will be couple attachment, couple satisfaction and dyadic adjustment. The original timeline for the study was to start in Argentina and Guatemala in February 2020, and the remaining countries in September 2020. The study started in February 2020 for Argentina and Guatemala, but in April 2020 the process was postponed due to mobility constrains during covid-19 crisis. During these two months, the process remained in the recruitment phase. Therefore, couples were not randomly assigned. Due to an improvement in the pandemic situation, the study started in Spain in September 2021.We expect the remaining countries will start during 2022. The study period for each couple will be around 6 months.
