NCT03385512
This large scale multi-center cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) is designed to assess the comparative effectiveness of three interventions in diverse ambulatory care settings and patient populations. Findings will help healthcare systems decide which approach to adopt to empower patients and enable providers to engage in patient centered communication. The specific aims are to: 1. Engage with patients and healthcare providers who have used the tools in the pilot study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02522286) at the Sutter Health Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF), as well as new stakeholders at University of California San Diego Health System and Meyers Primary Care Institute at University of Massachusetts and Reliant Medical Group, to further refine and adapt these patient-centered interventions to be integrated into real world primary care clinics. 2. Conduct a large scale cluster RCT with three arms, to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of three interventions: OPEN with in-person SPI training (High Touch), OPEN with online SPI training (High Tech), and ASK. Primary outcomes will include patient perceptions of how well their PCPs have engaged them in patient centered communication. The investigators will also measure patients' confidence in managing their health, intention to follow through with care plans, and downstream behaviors in following through with care plans, use of services such as phone calls, secure messaging, and additional visits. 3. Identify the strategy that has the most potential for sustained impact and replication within and across healthcare systems. The investigators will analyze the fidelity to the intervention protocols, including consistency of delivery as intended and the time/effort involved in implementing the interventions. The investigators will also assess the extent to which the programs become institutionalized. The investigators anticipate that this multi-level healthcare system intervention will result in significant improvement in: patient satisfaction with how PCP has engaged them in the visit, confidence in selfcare; patients' intention to adhere to care plan, and clinical indicators. Furthermore, more effective communication would lower health service utilization after the visit. The investigators further expect that the intervention will affect physicians', medical assistants' and nurses' experience as well as healthcare system leaders' intention to implement in routine practice.
NCT03544229
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with 2 dose levels of TAK-906 in adult participants with gastroparesis compared with placebo during 12 weeks of treatment.
NCT03837496
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a brief, virtual, group-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for breast cancer survivors taking hormonal therapy. The intervention (STRIDE) aims to alleviate symptoms related to hormonal therapy or breast cancer, optimize medication-taking (i.e., adherence), and reduce distress.
NCT04902664
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of patient and provider facing educational materials and peer comparison on medical testing conversations during annual physicals. The investigators hypothesize that education materials and peer comparison will improve conversation quality about medical testing decisions.
NCT03408860
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a commonly occurring, severe, and costly condition that interferes greatly with quality of life. Considerable comorbidity with other disorders and existing multicomponent treatments with largely untested putative mechanisms of action represent obstacles for effective dissemination of BPD treatment; in light of this gap, the purpose of the present study is to isolate the effects of individual treatment components on putative mechanisms implicated in both BPD. This study will answer important theoretical questions about the mechanism of treatment change, and might lead to more efficacious, cost-effective, and easily disseminable treatment strategies for BPD, a severe and understudied disorder.
NCT04090190
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common condition affecting women of all ages. The objective of this pilot study is to better understand the urinary microbiome and associated inflammatory markers in blood and urine in women with urgency UI. The study will assess how inflammation may affect response to standard of care anticholinergic medication treatment for urgency urinary incontinence.
NCT04880577
As the in vivo reservoir of the Epstein-Barr virus, B cells play an important role in the perpetuation of MS disease activity. B cell depletion therapy with medications like ocrelizumab or rituximab have proved very successful in preventing clinical relapses and MRI activity in MS, but incomplete in terms of neuroprotection and symptomatic outcomes. Ocrelizumab and rituximab only target naïve and memory B cells expressing the CD20 marker but do not deplete the wide spectrum of B cell lineages including plasmablasts and plasma cells, which are also key reservoirs for EBV. This is particularly relevant to the mechanism of action of TAF, since EBV lytic reactivation occurs in coordination with B-cell differentiation. In vivo, the initiation of plasma cell differentiation provides the physiological trigger for EBV lytic reactivation, and EBV utilizes the plasma cell differentiation program to replicate. As these cells are ineffectively depleted by anti-CD20 treatment, the use of TAF would be highly complementary as an add-on treatment to anti-CD20 therapy. Anti-EBV therapy with TAF in combination with ocrelizumab or rituximab will therefore provide a synergistic approach to cover the whole EBV reservoir. The primary aims of the proposed trial are to determine if TAF, at the standard dose of 25 mg/day administered for 12 months: i) is safe and well-tolerated by individuals with RRMS over a period of treatment of 12 months; ii) leads to an overall improvement in fatigue, as assessed by the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale by 12 months; and iii) causes a reduction in serum concentrations of neurofilament light chain (NfL), a marker of neuronal damage in MS.
NCT01905592
The purpose of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer who have a BRCA mutation when treated with niraparib as compared to those treated with physician's choice

In addition subjects will have OmniGraf™ (TruGraf® and TRAC™) testing at any time there is a clinical suspicion of acute rejection. Data collection for the primary objective extends over a 2-year period.
NCT05087251
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a brief psychoeducational intervention to improve quality of life in patients with lung cancer who are transitioning from active treatment to surveillance.
NCT03518619
The investigators propose to enhance our existing coping motive-specific normative feedback intervention (PFIcope intervention) by capitalizing on EMA/EMI technology to pair real-time affective monitoring with tailored real-time relapse prevention texts for individuals with anxiety and depression who drink to cope. The goals of the PFIcope+EMI study are to help individuals to identify motives for drinking and to utilize alternate coping strategies for negative affect in place of alcohol.
NCT03772873
Pilonidal disease often presents as a chronic, relapsing condition. A variety of procedures are used in the management of pilonidal disease, with varying degrees of morbidity, disease-free interval, and long-term success. In patients with new-onset or recurrent pilonidal disease, the investigators aim to address how minimally invasive trephine excision compares to other surgical procedures in terms of short- and long-term clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. In the absence of a gold standard surgical procedure, surgeon preference will help dictate the management of pilonidal disease. For many surgeons, this means a variation on open excision for pilonidal disease failing conservative management. However, outcomes for minimally invasive pilonidal excision (MIPE) as initially described by Gips and forthcoming Lipskar et al., are likely to alter management of the disease (Gips, 2008). The investigators wish to assess patient and surgeon satisfaction with MIPE, and short-term outcomes.

The study comprises two stages: a Phase Ib safety run-in stage and a Phase II stage. The anticipated time on treatment is 18 weeks for participants with DLBCL and 24 weeks for participants with FL.
NCT05147389
Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) findings achieve high diagnostic accuracy for neoplastic bile duct lesions. To date, there is not a universally accepted DSOC classification. Endoscopists' Intra and interobserver agreements vary widely. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) assessment through artificial intelligence (AI) tools is almost exclusively for intrahepatic CCA (iCCA). Therefore, more AI tools are necessary for assessing extrahepatic neoplastic bile duct lesions. In Ecuador, the investigators have recently proposed an AI model to classify bile duct lesions during real-time DSOC, which accurately detected malignancy patterns. This research pursues a clinical validation of our AI model for distinguishing between neoplastic and non-neoplastic bile duct lesions, compared with high DSOC experienced endoscopists.
NCT03558984
