The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of comprehensive biliary Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) for assessing common bile duct or common hepatic duct strictures, determining cholangiocarcinoma margins, and evaluating primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
NCT03295214
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain within the post-operative setting and determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the VAS for PO or IV acetaminophen. It is expected that in doing so the investigators can produce the maximal amount of pain relief after surgery while making conscientious monetary decisions.
NCT01882348
The proposed study is a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial designed to test the sustainability of a previously developed, tested, effectively implemented tobacco control strategy-the CEASE intervention, employing state of the art tobacco dependence treatment for parents who smoke.
NCT02276677
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone produced in the brain that regulates food intake. However, the mechanisms for this effect in humans is not yet clear. In this study, the investigators will therefore examine the effect of a single dose of intranasal oxytocin (compared to placebo) on levels of appetite-regulating hormones and functional magnetic resonance imaging activation of areas of the brain involved in food motivation.
NCT02210039
The study is being done to test the feasibility and tolerability of a SECM imaging probe in patients with Barrett's Esophagus (BE). Subjects will undergo SECM probe imaging while they are under conscious sedation. Spiral SECM imaging will be performed continuously over a pre-determined length. Patients will later be asked for their feedback.
NCT01439035
The goal of this research is to conduct a pilot clinical study to image Celiac disease characteristic mucosal lesions and compare Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) images to histologic evaluation in children, adolescents and young adults with suspected Celiac disease.
NCT03304548
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is embarking on a clinical program to assess the treatment of PAH with an Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). This new treatment may require subcutaneous administration, in comparison to current treatments which are taken orally. Hence, GSK would like to conduct this qualitative interview study with PAH subjects to explore subject's perspective and preferences for various modes of treatment administration (daily or weekly subcutaneous injection versus current treatment options). This will be a qualitative study comprising the conduct of semi-structured telephone concept elicitation interviews with 8 to 10 PAH subjects (each approximately 30 minutes in duration) in the United States (US).
NCT03118843
The primary objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without cirrhosis, who did not achieve sustained viral response (SVR) after receiving prior treatment in a Gilead-sponsored HCV treatment study of direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-containing regimens.
NCT02104583
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of eleclazine (GS-6615) compared to placebo on the overall occurrence of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) interventions (antitachycardia pacing \[ATP\] or shock) in adults with ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D).
NCT03820609
The primary aim of this Phase I SBIR is to create and test an alpha version of Make a Change for mobile devices, and to document the technical merit, commercial viability, and proof of concept of the product. Successful completion of this proposal will result in the creation of two assets: 1) an "Intervention Manual" that (similar to a logic model) will align key game mechanics with theory and behavior change goals and, 2) the digital application for mobile devices. Focus groups and interviews with students, as well as interviews with campus stakeholders, will be used to inform development of the digital application and ensure its commercial viability. A non-randomized open trial with a 1-month follow up will assess preliminary effects on attitudes and behaviors, and will establish procedures for assessing change in proximal (attitude) and distal (behavioral) outcomes in preparation for large-scale evaluation in a Phase 2 SBIR proposal. This line of research and development has the potential to develop a commercially viable product with high public health impact that can be disseminated to 1700+ community colleges and 3,000+ 4-year colleges, and readily adapted to high schools, clinics and military settings.
NCT02176486
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of ixazomib when administered as multiple oral doses at escalating dose levels in participants with lupus nephritis.
NCT02762500
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYC-30937-EC given orally once daily in subjects with active ulcerative colitis (UC) defined as a total Mayo score (TMS) of 4-11 inclusive, with an endoscopic score of ≥ 2 and a rectal bleeding score of ≥ 1 at screening.
NCT03081481
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe, effective, and tolerable dose of PRX302 for the treatment of low to intermediate risk prostate cancer.
NCT01302119
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AN2690 topical solution is a safe and effective treatment for onychomycosis of the toenail.
NCT02399267
The requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation is a defining feature of critical illness. Liberation or weaning is the process during which the work of breathing is transferred from the ventilator back to the patient. Approximately 40% of the time spent on mechanical ventilation is dedicated to weaning. Limiting the duration of invasive ventilation has been identified as a key research priority in critical care. Studies support the use of screening protocols (once daily vs. usual care) to identify weaning candidates and the conduct of tests of patient's ability to breathe spontaneously (SBTs). While once daily screening is the current standard of care in national intensive care units (ICUs), it is poorly aligned with the 24/7 ICU care environment wherein a critically ill patients' status can change from hour to hour. Only one large trial has compared alternative SBT techniques \[T-piece vs PS (Pressure Support)\]. No trial has compared a strategy of more frequent screening to once daily screening or alternative SBT techniques. The presence of respiratory therapists (RTs) 24/7 in North American ICUs presents a unique opportunity to screen more frequently, conduct more frequent SBTs, and determine the optimal strategy to liberate critically ill adults from invasive ventilation. The investigators propose to conduct a pilot randomized trial in 100 critically ill adults comparing 'once daily' screening to 'at least twice daily' screening and PS vs. T-piece SBTs in 12 Canadian ICUs. In the proposed trial, the investigators will (i) assess their ability to recruit critically ill adults who can breathe spontaneously or initiate breaths on one of several commonly used modes of ventilation into the trial, (ii) evaluate clinician's ability to implement the trial as designed, (iii) assess current practices in sedation, analgesia and delirium management and timing of patient mobilization prior to conducting screening assessments, (iv) identify barriers (clinician, institutional) to enrolling patients, (v) characterize trial participants based on weaning difficulty, and (vi) obtain preliminary estimates of the impact of the alternative screening and SBT strategies on clinically important outcomes.
NCT00282971
To assess the impact on glucose control by inhaled insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not well controlled on 2 or more oral anti-diabetic agents
NCT03215082
The aim of this research program is to 1) Evaluate potential problems with vision, inner ear-eye reflexes and deficits of processing eye information that occur following TBI; and 2) Evaluate treatment programs for individuals with eye and inner ear problems that persist for greater than 10 days following injury. This study will include 465 youth and young adults (aged 6-30 years old) who sustain a TBI of any severity. An initial evaluative phase using the best available technology to evaluate eye and inner ear function will be performed, and compared with typical tests that are used in the clinic. If symptoms and functional problems remain 10 days after injury, participants will be randomly placed into a treatment group (including eye movement, inner ear-eye reflex and attention exercises as per our pilot studies) or a control group (typical rehabilitation). Success will be measured in terms of return to sport (mild TBI), achievement of goals (moderate and severe TBI) and quality of life. It is expected that this program will inform clinical practice and future research leading to a treatment program in TBI that includes multiple components.
NCT00586924
