NCT04401579
ACTT-2 will evaluate the combination of baricitinib and remdesivir compared to remdesivir alone. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22, and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests and oropharyngeal (OP) swab and blood (serum only) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions may limit the ability of the subject to return to the clinic. In this case, these visits may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The primary outcome is time to recovery by Day 29.
NCT04280705
This study is an adaptive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel therapeutic agents in hospitalized adults diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is a multicenter trial that will be conducted in up to approximately 100 sites globally. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a control arm. There will be interim monitoring to introduce new arms and allow early stopping for futility, efficacy, or safety. If one therapy proves to be efficacious, then this treatment may become the control arm for comparison(s) with new experimental treatment(s). Any such change would be accompanied by an updated sample size. Because background standards of supportive care may evolve/improve over time as more is learned about successful management of COVID-19, comparisons of safety and efficacy will be based on data from concurrently randomized subjects. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will actively monitor interim data to make recommendations about early study closure or changes to study arms. To evaluate the clinical efficacy, as assessed by time to recovery, of different investigational therapeutics as compared to the control arm.
NCT03151408
This is a Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, randomized study of pracinostat vs. placebo with azacitidine (AZA) as background therapy in patients ≥ 18 years of age with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia and cytogenetic low-risk AML, who are unfit to receive intensive remission induction chemotherapy due to age ≥ 75 years or comorbidities. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: Group A (experimental group) to receive pracinostat plus AZA and Group B (control group) to receive placebo plus AZA. Randomization will be stratified by cytogenetic risk category (intermediate vs. unfavorable-risk, according to SWOG Cytogenetic Risk Category Definitions) and ECOG performance status (0-1 vs. 2). Treatments will be administered based on 28-day cycles, with pracinostat/placebo administered orally once every other day, 3 times a week for 3 weeks, followed by one week of no treatment and AZA administered for 7 days of each cycle. Study treatment should continue until there is documented disease progression, relapse from complete remission (CR), or non-manageable toxicity. A minimum of 6 cycles may be required to achieve a complete remission. Once permanently discontinued from study treatment, patients will enter the Long-term Follow-up phase of the study and will be followed for assessment of disease progression, if applicable, and survival every 3 months (±1 month) until death. The end of this study is defined when 390 events (deaths) have occurred and the study is unblinded for final overall survival analysis. Patients who are receiving study treatment at the end of the study may have the opportunity to continue to receive the study drugs to which they were randomized to (Post- Study Observation Period), until the Sponsor informs the Investigators of the appropriate course of action based on the study results. The Post-Study Observation Period is defined as the period starting from the end of the study for a maximum of 12 months.
NCT03028740
The AURORA study will be conducted to confirm the efficacy and safety of cenicriviroc (CVC) for the treatment of liver fibrosis in adult participants with NASH.
NCT01232283
This study will evaluate the effects of an experimental (being tested) study drug called apremilast. Apremilast works by lowering some of the chemicals that affect psoriasis and therefore improves the symptoms of psoriasis. The purpose of this study is to test apremilast and compare its effects to placebo (an inactive substance which contains no medicine but is in the same form as the drug). This study will test efficacy (improvement of signs and symptoms) and safety of apremilast in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
NCT02750215
This research study is studying capmatinib as a treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 skipping, where the participant has already received prior therapy with a MET inhibitor.
NCT02258594
The purpose of this project is to refine, implement, and evaluate a multi-component intervention that achieves sustainable and meaningful impact on healthcare quality, safety, and costs while ensuring dignity and respect for adult oncology and intensive care patients and their care partners. The PROSPECT (Promoting Respect and Ongoing Safety through Patient-centeredness, Engagement, Communication, and Technology) framework will achieve this by enhancing the patient-provider relationship and introducing patient-centered approaches to multi-disciplinary communication and patient education. The PROSPECT framework is based upon a validated structured, team-work training model and novel web-based technology. The overarching goals of this project are to achieve the following: 1. Optimize the overall experience of patients (including their family/care partners) by promoting dignity/respect, encouraging engagement, improving care plan concordance, and enhancing satisfaction. 2. Minimize preventable harms in two environments: intensive care and acute care oncology units. 3. Reduce unnecessary healthcare resource utilization and associated costs.
NCT04330066
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether a decrease in endometrial thickness (compaction) prior to progesterone exposure (endogenous or exogenous) to the day before a single frozen embryo transfer has an impact on the clinical pregnancy rate with euploid embryos in exogenous hormone and modified natural thaw cycles. Information derived from this study may give insight on ways to improve pregnancy rates in cryo-thaw cycles.
NCT03925584
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of implementing nurse-led music therapy in a cohort of neonates admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) post congenital heart surgery. In the proposed setting, the use of a standardized nurse-led music therapy protocol for post-operative neonates would build upon current successful nurse-led efforts to wean sedatives and opioid use for patients admitted to the CICU. The investigators believe data generated from this exploratory feasibility study may serve to further inform a larger study involving the use of music therapy in the cardiac intensive care.
NCT04020718
This is a pilot sequential multiple assignment trial (SMART) to understand the optimal timing to assess response to our smoking cessation text message intervention and to measure how adding medications alone compares to adding medications and telephone coaching for those who continue to smoke. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a SMART of a proactively offered text message intervention for smokers in primary care that compares early (4 weeks) versus late (8 weeks) assessment of treatment response and the addition of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) alone or with telephone coaching for non-responders.
NCT04469140
The investigators wish to better understand the role of the choriocapillaris (CC) in the formation and progression of non-exudative in age related macular degeneration (armd) by imaging the retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) and the choroidal microvasculature and by studying their inter-dependence to determine if the loss of the CC could prove useful as an anatomic clinical trial endpoint in future drug trials.
NCT03688243
NCT02356861
The purpose of this study is to learn if an experimental treatment can help thinking ability, and memory in Veterans with mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The experimental treatment is called transcranial, light-emitting diode (LEDs) therapy,and uses groups of LEDs mounted inside a helmet. The helmet is worn on the head, and the LEDs shine painless light on the sides, middle and front of the head through the scalp. The participants receive a series of LED treatments which take place as outpatient visits at the VA Boston Healthcare System, Jamaica Plain Campus. The LEDs contain near-infrared diodes. The FDA considers the LED device used here, to be a non-significant risk device. The LEDs do not produce heat.

NCT01974609
The purposes of this noninferiority randomized clinical trial are to: 1. determine whether the most commonly used commonly used non-narcotic analgesic (ibuprofen 600 mg + acetaminophen 325 mg) provides pain relief that is not unacceptably worse than the most commonly prescribed narcotic containing analgesic (hydrocodone 5 mg. + acetaminophen 325 mg, equivalent to Norco 5/325) in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release. 2. Determine whether the following covariates affect pain level following surgery or medication usage: gender, country (US/Canada), pre-operative CTS symptoms, site, workers compensation status and employment status (employed/self-employed/unemployed-able to work/unemployed-unable to work)
NCT04084990
This study aims to evaluate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to assess the role of auto-titrated positive airway pressure (aPAP) as antenatal therapy in these patients. Pregnant patients with diagnosed FGR will be screened for OSA first by screening questionnaire and then by home sleep monitor. Of those patients diagnosed with OSA, half will be assigned to use aPAP each night when sleeping and half will not (standard care).
NCT03371251
This study will be conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of repeat doses of BOS161721 (20 milligrams \[mg\], 60 mg, and 120 mg) administered subcutaneously in adult participants with moderately to severely active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) on limited background standard of care treatment, in order to estimate the optimal dose. BOS161721 at the chosen dose will be compared to placebo for response on the SLE Responder Index 4, with sustained reduction of oral corticosteroids, in the same participant population.
