NCT01430442
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rimegepant (BMS-927711) compared with placebo in the acute treatment of migraine as measured by Pain Freedom (headache pain intensity level reported as "no pain") at 2 hours post dose using a four point numeric rating scale (no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, severe pain) while identifying an optimal dose to support the Phase 3 clinical trials.
NCT05746312
This study uses a multiple-baseline design and aims to replicate findings that a digital music-based mindfulness intervention can reduce elevated race-based state anxiety in Black Americans.
NCT01420926
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving decitabine with or without bortezomib works in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, 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. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether decitabine works better when given with or without bortezomib in treating acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT01590680

NCT01457781
This is a Phase 2, Placebo Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized, Clinical Study to Determine Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Pulsed, Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) Versus Placebo as Add-on Therapy in Symptomatic Subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
NCT03534102
This project intends to investigate whether (1) a patient-maintained opioid diary provides an accurate measure of opioid consumption (morphine equivalents), (2) improved patient educational materials decrease narcotic consumption, and (3) using a pain management counselor provides additional benefits in decreasing narcotic consumption when used in conjunction with improved educational materials. Furthermore, the investigators would like to investigate the effect of the patient-maintained diaries, the improved educational materials, and the pain management counselor on pain levels, nausea, sleep quality, and patient satisfaction. All patients undergoing orthopedic surgery at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and choose to participate will be assigned to a treatment group based on which arm of the study is being tested at the time; (the treatment arms are sequential). Members of Group 1 (control group) will receive the current standardized institutional discharge care for orthopedic surgery and an added tracking diary. Members of Group 2 (experimental group 1) will receive more detailed educational materials regarding postoperative pain management - including instructions to how to taper their narcotic usage - as well as a tracking diary. Members of Group 3 (experimental group 2) will receive not only the educational materials of Group 2, but also weekly phone calls from a clinical patient educator to remind them of proper use of the diary and narcotic tapering.
NCT03906526
This is an open label, Phase 1b pre-operative window of opportunity biomarker trial to analyze the combination of intravenous (IV) anti-PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab, given along with toll-like receptor 8 (TLR 8) agonist motolimod delivered either subcutaneously (SC) or by intratumoral injection (IT) in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Subjects with previously untreated, resectable SCCHN, will be recruited onto this trial and will initially undergo pre-treatment diagnostic imaging and biological sample collection. These subjects will undergo pre-operative study treatment for a 3 to 4-week period prior to a scheduled surgical resection.
NCT01066663
In this research study we will start by looking for the highest dose of pyrimethamine that can be given safely to CLL patients without severe or unmanageable side effects. This dose will then be used for a larger Phase II study to assess the efficacy of pyrimethamine for the treatment of CLL/SLL. Pyrimethamine is an antibiotic that is used for the treatment of certain infections. Previous research studies have shown that pyrimethamine may target a protein in tumor cells, called STAT3, which may be important for the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) cells. Pyrimethamine can kill CLL/SLL cells in the laboratory, and we are therefore undertaking this study to assess whether pyrimethamine will result in clinical benefit or tumor responses in CLL in patients.
NCT03178903
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) for increasing exercise adherence among low active individuals with elevated depressive symptoms. The investigators expect that this project will contribute much needed knowledge about the role that tDCS can play in changing the affective experience of exercise.
NCT02966912
The objective of this study is to investigate whether nutritional supplementation with magnesium can improve cardiovascular structure and function in participants with obesity - with a long-term goal of preventing clinical heart failure. Specifically, in a randomized open-label pilot study, we will assess whether dietary Magnesium (Mg) supplementation (versus no supplementation) for 24 weeks in obese patients will improve left ventricular (LV) mass.
NCT01938001
This double-blind randomized, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide (Revlimid, CC-5013) in combination with rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either lenalidomide or placebo for twelve 28-day cycles in combination with rituximab. Anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year.

NCT02996084
The primary objective of this study is to determine the normative range of brain volume and brain volume change in healthy control (HC) participants whose age, race, and gender distribution is approximately matched to the age, race, and gender distribution of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) enrolled in Study 888MS001. The secondary objective is to use the results of the primary endpoint to ensure consistency of brain volume measurements across MS PATHS centers.
NCT05622058
This is a Phase 1b open-label, single arm, multicenter, study of ALRN-6924 as a chemoprotection agent in patients with TP53-mutated HER2- breast cancer (stages IIa to IIIb) receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, docetaxel, and cyclophosphamide (TAC). Chemotherapy affects cells that are dividing, whether they are tumor cells or healthy cells (including, bone marrow cells, hair follicle cells, and epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract). ALRN-6924 is designed to stop cell division in healthy cells but not in tumor cells because they have a mutation of the TP53 gene. When this happens, tumor cells will still be destroyed by the chemotherapy but healthy cells that are not dividing may be spared from chemotherapy damage and the patient should have less side effects.
NCT00342667
A major goal of modern perinatal and neonatal medicine is to reduce the rate of developmental disabilities, especially mental retardation. Cerebral palsy is frequently associated with neurologic abnormalities and mental retardation. Improvements in neonatal intensive care have resulted in improved survival of very low birthweight infants but also in an increased frequency of cerebral palsy. Prematurity is a leading risk factor for cerebral palsy. Two thirds of preterm neonates are born to mothers with preterm labor with intact membranes or preterm premature rupture of membranes. A growing body of evidence suggests that these conditions are heterogeneous. This is an observational cohort study designed to identify the mechanisms of disease in patients with preterm labor/contractions and preterm premature rupture of membranes and to describe the relationship between clinical, biochemical, histological, biophysical parameters and the development of infant neurological disorders.
NCT00342277
The understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying preterm birth is very limited, making prevention of preterm birth difficult. The incidence of preterm birth worldwide varies between 6%-11% in singleton pregnancies, and 64-93% of preterm deliveries occur after the spontaneous onset of labor (preterm labor). The risk factors associated with preterm birth include demographic variables such as ethnic group, past obstetric history, and complications of the current pregnancy such as infection and fetal congenital anomalies. The current study aims to investigate the basic mechanisms of preterm labor by systematically cataloging the changes in expression levels of all expressed genes whose sequences are available. The goals will be accomplished by using microarray technology followed by subsequent confirmative or complementary analyses.
