NCT02195570
The long-term goal of this research is to reduce tobacco-related disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes by improving smoking cessation and relapse prevention interventions for minority pregnant and postpartum women, who have been significantly underrepresented in smoking cessation research. This study will examine the feasibility and efficacy of a prize-based contingency management approach for increasing smoking cessation and preventing relapse among socioeconomically disadvantaged minority pregnant smokers. First, the intervention will be pretested with 10 pregnant low-income minority smokers and then refined based on acceptability survey and focus group data. Next, a pilot study will be conducted. 60 highly disadvantaged minority women, recruited from the outpatient obstetric clinics at a large teaching hospital, who report daily smoking and who meet other eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized to one of two study conditions: 1) Standard Psychoeducational Intervention (6-week, individually-administered, pregnancy-specific Quit Smoking Now curriculum, as currently implemented in the clinic; QSN Only); 2) Standard Psychoeducational Intervention plus Contingency Management (provision of incentives contingent on biochemically-verified abstinence; QSN-CM). Abstinence monitoring via expired carbon monoxide and salivary cotinine levels will occur in both groups beginning on the first quit day and continuing through 3-months postpartum. Only participants in the QSN-CM group will be reinforced for biochemically-verified abstinence with chances to win prizes ranging in value from approximately $1 to $100 ('fishbowl' or 'prize bowl' method). Study outcomes will be assessed through follow-up research exams (delivery and 6-months postpartum) and hospital chart reviews. The primary hypothesis is that that women randomized to the QSN-CM condition will have higher rates of abstinence during pregnancy and postpartum compared to women receiving standard of care alone. Results should advance scientific knowledge regarding effective methods for promoting and maintaining smoking abstinence among pregnant disadvantaged women and provide preliminary feasibility and efficacy data needed to support a larger randomized controlled trial.
NCT01669421
The current treatment of individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) who develop lung disease (COPD) is the administration of intravenous purified alpha-1 antitrypsin (augmentation therapy) at a fixed dose of 60 mg/kg per week. This dose aims at increasing the deficient AAT serum levels just above a predetermined "safety threshold" of 11 uM. However, normal levels of AAT are between 25-50 uM. AAT has shown not only to inhibit lung proteases such as neutrophil elastase, but also to modulate inflammation. Given that many subjects with AATD who receive augmentation therapy still have significant lung disease and inflammation, this study will evaluate whether doubling the dose to 120 mg/kg/week has an effect in decreasing lung inflammation. Only the dosing of 60 mg/kg /week has received FDA approval. FDA has granted an IND number to this study to test the higher dose of 120 mg/kg/week. The study will evaluate systemic (serum) and pulmonary (bronchoscopy samples)markers of inflammation in 3 phases: standard dose (4 weeks), double dose (4 weeks) and standard dose (4 weeks).
NCT03627754
This is a Phase 1, open-label, parallel group, single dose study to investigate the effect of moderate or severe hepatic impairment on the PK of glasdegib, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function.
NCT01520545
Safety study to assess the 3 mg/mL baclofen injection (intrathecal) using a programmable pump
NCT03222817
The proposed study will examine the implementation of a Human Papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling intervention for unscreened and under-screened transgender men and transmasculine individuals living in South Florida. The study will enroll participants to receive this cervical cancer screening intervention in community venues. The purpose of this study is to pilot the self-sampler for feasibility and acceptability within this underserved population.
NCT01975389
This study evaluates the PCSK9 inhibitor, Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316), compared to placebo, in reducing the occurrrence of major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and unstable angina requiring urgent revascularization in high risk subjects who are receiving background lipid lowering therapy and have cholesterol laboratory values of LDL-C \>/= 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) or non-HDL-C \>/=130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L).
NCT02147197
This study will evaluate the superiority of ulipristal acetate versus placebo for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding associated with uterine fibroids
NCT01180036
The primary outcome of this study is to determine whether or not the B cell targeting with Rituximab is non-inferior or more effective than Cyclosporine in inducing long term remission of proteinuria.
NCT03693261
We hypothesize that human epicardial fat plays a thermogenic role to the myocardium. We hypothesize that epicardial fat may express genes of brown fat and thyroid function that are down-regulated by the presence of coronary artery disease. Because the postulated metabolic role of the epicardial fat, we also hypothesize that the gene expression of these regulatory thermogenic factors is higher in epicardial than subcutaneous fat This will be a cross-sectional study conducted over a one-year period in patients with or without coronary artery disease who require elective cardiac surgery regardless their participation in the study. Study group will be formed by 50 patients with clinically and angiographically established CAD who will undergo coronary artery bypass graft, as part of their standard medical care. Control group will be formed by 10 subjects, randomly selected, who will undergo cardiac surgery for aortic or mitral valve replacement as part of their standard medical care (these patients have no history, clinical signs of CAD, and show normal coronary arteries on coronary angiography). This will be a cross-sectional study conducted over a one-year period in patients with or without coronary artery disease who require elective cardiac surgery regardless their participation in the study. Adipose tissue will be collected during the cardiac surgery.

NCT01926444
GIC-1001 is a novel, orally-administered, colonic analgesic drug developed as an alternative to i.v. sedation during full colonoscopy. It will be evaluated for efficacy and safety in a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-ranging, proof of concept Phase 2a trial. Up to 240 patients will receive one of 3 doses of GIC-1001 or its matching placebo. A pharmacokinetic evaluation will be carried out on a subset of patients (N: 24).

NCT01397409
This study is conducted in 3 stages. Stage 1 is an open-label, dose-escalation assessment of the safety of AGN-150998 administered as a single intravitreal injection to patients with advanced exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Stage 2 and Stage 3 are randomized, double-masked, comparisons of the safety and treatment effects on retinal edema and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of AGN-150998 and ranibizumab in treatment-naive patients with exudative AMD. Study medication is administered as needed in Stage 2 and with a fixed-dosing schedule in Stage 3. The study objectives are (1) to identify the highest tolerated dose of AGN-150998, (2) to assess the safety and duration of treatment effects on retinal edema and BCVA, and (3) to characterize the systemic pharmacokinetic profile of AGN-150998.
