NCT00844896
The objectives of this study are to test and validate a simple, feasible intervention to reduce pediatric burn traumatic stress in 0-5 year old children and their parents. We have refined and implemented an early post-burn psychosocial assessment and intervention for stress reduction for young children and their parents based on the "DEF" Protocol (Distress, Emotional Support, Family) from NCTSN's 'Pediatric Medical Toolkit for Health Care Providers,' and a burn specific version of the COPE (Creating Opportunities for Parent Empowerment)intervention. It is hypothesized that the combined DEF + COPE Intervention will be simple to implement and use under both experimental and real world conditions. The proof of the latter hypothesis will be that staff at Shriners Hospitals for Children-Boston will willingly incorporate it into routine care by the end of the project. We will evaluate, using an RCT design, the DEF + COPE Intervention by comparing outcomes for subjects who are randomly assigned to receive it with outcomes for subjects who are assigned to receive the DEF Intervention only. It is hypothesized that children in the DEF + COPE Intervention Group will show significantly greater decreases over time in pain and anxiety ratings, heart rate, PTSD total symptom scores and physiological symptom scores (such as heart rate and heart rate variability from baseline to follow up) than will children in the DEF-only group. Similarly, it is hypothesized that parents assigned to the DEF + COPE group will show significantly decreased scores on the Stanford PTSD measure.
NCT00055120
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of starting anti-HIV drugs in HIV infected patients who are being treated for opportunistic infections (OIs). This study will follow two patient groups: those who received anti-HIV drugs soon after being diagnosed with an OI and patients with OIs who deferred beginning anti-HIV drugs until after recovering from the OI.
NCT01430754
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maintenance effect and safety of 20 mg tasimelteon versus placebo in subjects suffering from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder.
NCT00525447
This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-dose trial to define the MTD and tolerability of a regimen including lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and intravenous SGN-40 in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
NCT00211172
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of direct-to-patient mailings designed to increase patient's adherence to prescribed beta-blockers following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Prior to developing patient materials, focus groups were conducted with patient who had previously suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to identify the issues and information that patients felt were important to include in our materials as well as the best way to present the information. Additionally, patient materials were "pre-tested" with AMI patients to ensure that the materials were clear and easy to read and that the key messages were understood.
NCT01196052
This single-arm open-label study assessed the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) after the completion of anthracycline-based adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients received T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg intravenously on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, for up to 17 cycles.
NCT01372527
Although there is considerable evidence that current health IT can improve certain elements of care, the most effective and efficient implementation of health IT systems for primary care population management are not currently known. Indeed, while many systems currently take a "case-management" approach to identify and address clinical care issues for high risk patients, no systems to our knowledge apply a risk-based approach that accounts both for adverse clinical outcome risk (e.g. breast cancer in a woman who has not had indicated screening for 4 years) and for clinical process risk (e.g. the likelihood that a specific patient will ignore a reminder letter and would therefore benefit from direct phone or in person contact). The investigators propose to directly test the hypothesis that implementing a health IT platform that 1) provides novel risk-based decision support using data derived from the electronic health record (EHR) and 2) leverages each clinician's unique knowledge of his or her patient panel will result in more effective and more efficient population-based primary care. The investigators will test this hypothesis in a practice-randomized clinical trial of preventive cancer screening within our primary care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN).
NCT01422330
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of etravirine. Etravirine is a type of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) which has shown high activity against wild-type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), and HIV strains resistant to other non-nucleotide agents.
NCT00499590
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of bevasiranib given either every 8 weeks or every 12 weeks after an initial pre-treatment with 3 injections of Lucentis® (ranibizumab injection) compared to Lucentis® given every 4 weeks to people with wet AMD. Patients will be assigned at random (like tossing a coin) to receive one of three treatments options for 104 weeks.
NCT00082095
The main purpose of this study is to compare treatment with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or capecitabine as first line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer in women 60 years and older.
NCT00308308
To determine the safety and efficacy of inhaled insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes
NCT00309244
The purpose of this 13 month study (12 month treatment period and 1 month follow-up period) is to determine whether inhaled insulin is safe and effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
NCT00700622
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that TI® Inhalation Powder combined with Lantus® is as effective as Humalog® combined with Lantus® on HbA1c.
NCT00209417
It is well known that X-ray contrast media can affect kidney function in some patients, especially when administered intra-arterially, and patients who already suffer from reduced kidney function and diabetes mellitus may be at increased risk. It is widely accepted to use low-osmolar or iso-osmolar contrast media, especially in patients at risk for contrast media-induced nephropathy. However, little is known about the intravenous use of X-ray contrast media in risk patients, such as contrast-enhanced CT examinations. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. Due to the iso-osmolar feature, it is expected less influence on renal function following administration of iodixanol. A standard hydration procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.
NCT00661206
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 6 month duration of clopidogrel therapy after DES implantation is not inferior to that of a 12 month therapy.
NCT02164370
Acid/base imbalances are not well understood in pre-eclamptics, and better tools are needed to allow a thorough and meaningful evaluation. Disorders of electrolytes and albumin are common findings \[13, 14\], and the impact of such disorders on acid-base homeostasis has increasingly been acknowledged \[4, 15\]. The purpose of this prospective case-control study is to evaluate acid-base status in 100 women with mild or severe pre-eclampsia and 25 healthy controls by applying the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model. We hypothesize that several simultaneous, and possibly offsetting, metabolic acid-base disorders will be identified and quantified, and that these may be useful to guide clinicians in their medical management and indication for delivery. Intermediate and long-term goals are to evaluate the ability of the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model to guide fluid management and predict maternal and neonatal outcomes.
