NCT02943785
When the upper chambers of a person's heart receive or generate irregular electrical signals, it causes abnormal rhythm in the heartbeat. This is called atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation goes along with blood clots that may cause mainly strokes and less often other diseases, such as a heart attack. Some patients with atrial fibrillation have other heart disease, such as heart valves that may need to be replaced using catheters. Often doctors give patients drugs that reduce those blood clots. These are either vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or direct anticoagulants, such as edoxaban. In these patients, it is unclear which of the drugs is better for reducing stroke without increasing severe bleedings.

NCT02139436
Each year, 11,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) in the U.S. Within the first year, there are profound declines in physiologic function, forming the underlying substrate for future cardiovascular disease . In fact, acquired cardiovascular disease is an increasingly recognized consequence of SCI and is the leading cause of death in SCI. Though incompletely understood, the almost 10-fold prevalence of cardiovascular disease results in part from profound physiologic 'detraining' resulting from motor impairment and immobility. Currently, effective interventions preventing acute declines that lead to cardiovascular compromise and increased risk in SCI are lacking - exercise therapy for those with SCI is challenging and when employed, is typically limited to the upper body. Recently, the investigators refined a unique form of exercise for those with SCI that specifically mirrors exercise performed by those without SCI. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Row Training (RT) couples volitional arm and electrically controlled leg exercise, resulting in a hemodynamic profile that produces the beneficial cardiac loading conditions of large muscle mass exercise. As such, FES-RT may be a safe and effective way to attenuate cardiovascular declines following SCI. The investigators aims are to test the overall hypotheses that FES-RT will: 1) mitigate against increased visceral adiposity and reduced insulin sensitivity, 2) prevent worsening lipid profile and compromised baroreflex function, and 3) counter ventricular wall thickening and declining ventricular function occurring with acute SCI, and that these effects will be greater than that observed with an arms-only exercise group. Changes with FES-RT will be compared to a time (wait-list) control and to arms-only-RT. Individuals with an SCI within the last 3-6 months will be randomized to FES-RT, to a time control, or arms-only-RT. Measures will be made at baseline and 6 months. The investigators work will provide results that clearly delineate potential health benefits of FES-RT, and if FES-RT is effective in a majority of those with SCI, its application, implementation, and integration could be easily replicated.
NCT02417974
The objective of this trial is to assess if Fecal Microbiota Therapy (FMT) can reduce the risk of endoscopic recurrence of Crohn's disease (CD) in patients after intestinal resection. The specific outcomes of FMT to be examined are: 1) endoscopic appearance, 2) clinical symptoms, 3) safety and tolerability, and 4) microbial diversity. The research team hypothesizes that FMT will prevent establishment of "pro-inflammatory" microbiome after surgery, leading to a reduced probability of recurrence of macroscopic inflammation. It is also hypothesized that FMT will be safe and well-tolerated in these patients.
NCT02817074
Phase III randomized controlled trial designed to test the effects of a 3-year intervention of the MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) on cognitive decline and brain neurodegeneration among 600 individuals 65+ years without cognitive impairment who are overweight and have suboptimal diets.
NCT02449031
This is a multicenter, prospective, two cohort, observational study over a 5-year period in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.The study will collect data over 1 year on respiratory function, antibacterial effectiveness, and clinical outcomes of treatment with inhaled antipseudomonal antibiotics and data over 5 years on microbiological and safety assessments.
NCT03607318
The primary goal of this study is to test the acceptability and feasibility of iASIST (integrated Alcohol and Suicide Intervention for Suicidal Teens), a novel adjunctive intervention for alcohol use and alcohol-related suicidal thoughts and behaviors for suicidal adolescent inpatients. The investigators will first conduct an open trial with 10 adolescents and their parents to test iASIST and make subsequent changes to the booster. Next, the investigators will conduct a randomized trial with 50 adolescents and their parents to test the feasibility and acceptability of iASIST as well as associations with alcohol- and suicide-related outcomes at 3 months post-discharge, relative to participants who receive an attention-matched comparison condition focused on the role of a healthy lifestyle in mental health that includes a post-discharge mHealth control targeting the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.
NCT03922451
This study will measure plasma concentrations of piperacillin-tazobactam and cefazolin in pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) aiming to better understand the pharmacokinetics of these medications in this in vivo setting.
NCT04138927
The primary objective of this study is: • To evaluate the long-term safety of fostamatinib in subjects with warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA).
NCT03392090

NCT03514680
This research study is evaluating how well a decision support tool works to improve clinicians' use of recommended chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) assessment and management strategies in participants receiving chemotherapy.
NCT04355585
We are doing this research study to better understand the mechanism of action of colchicine, a drug commonly prescribed for gout. Precisely, we aim to evaluate the effect of colchicine on a specific protein (GDF15) blood levels at different timepoints after its administration. This research study will compare GDF15 blood levels after the administration of colchicine or placebo. The placebo looks exactly like colchicine but contains no active drug. During this study, participants may get a placebo instead of colchicine. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons.
NCT00098709
The purpose of this study is to determine if the information provided to the physician by a fetal pulse oximeter during labor will reduce the chances of a cesarean delivery.
NCT04414618
This proof of concept study will take place in the US and other countries in approximately 15 clinical sites and will enroll about 40 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection who have developed pneumonia and require supplemental oxygen. 20 patients will receive opaganib in addition to standard of care twice each day for 14 days. 20 will receive matching placebo in addition to standard of care unless the patient has been discharged from the hospital without requiring supplemental oxygen, in which case study drug will only be administered for 10 days. All participants will be followed up for 4 weeks after their last dose of study drug.
