NCT04258891
The incidence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) is rapidly increasing, now affecting an estimated 7.4 million people worldwide. Numerous parameters such as demographic, clinical and functional factors drive the deterioration of the kidney, ultimately leading to ESRD. Although some ESRD prediction models have been derived in the past years, none of these models are dynamic: they do not integrate the repeated measurements recorded throughout individuals' follow-up. As highlighted in several studies, kidney function repeated measurements (i.e., trajectories) are highly associated with graft survival after kidney transplantation. The investigators made the hypothesis that these trajectories may bring relevant information in the context of graft survival risk prediction model. Hence, combining these trajectories with standard graft survival risk factors may enhance prediction performance. This could permit to derive a robust tool that could be updated over time by continuously capturing patient' personal evolution.
NCT02586649
Respiratory complications are the leading cause of death during the initial year after acute SCI, and the third leading cause of death thereafter. Complete or partial loss of respiratory muscle innervations in individuals with cervical and high thoracic injuries leads to inadequate ventilation and inability to effectively clear secretions, often prompting supportive ventilation following initial injury. Development of atelactasis, pneumonias and respiratory failure are the most common respiratory complications observed during the acute phase of injury. It is well known that a restrictive ventilatory defect, dependent upon the level and completeness of injury, is apparent in individuals with chronic cervical SCI. Respiratory functional impairment might be further compromised in these individuals, the majority of whom share many aspects of obstructive airway physiology commonly associated with asthma. The asthma-like features that individuals with chronic cervical SCI demonstrate have been hypothesized to be due to overriding cholinergic airway tone carried by intact vagal (parasympathetic) nerve fibers arising from the brainstem, whereas sympathetic innervations is interrupted at the level of the upper thoracic spinal cord. Whether airway narrowing and AHR in chronic cervical SCI is also related to chronic airway inflammation is unknown, although it is conceivable that repeated respiratory infections or, possibly, a neurogenic component, could contribute to chronic airway inflammation. Therefore, the investigators aim to assess how long-acting bronchodilator (tiotropium bromide) affects various indices of lung function, including: pulmonary function tests, levels of inflammation and cough strength across 24 hours after receiving study drug. Results will be analyzed for baseline, 1 hour, 3 hours, 20 hours and 24 hours post drug inhalation for both active medication and non-active placebo.
NCT01989325
This is a Phase 2 study during which patients with advanced multiple myeloma will receive either carfilzomib alone (single-agent) or carfilzomib in combination with investigational study drug filanesib (ARRY-520). Patients will be followed to determine the effectiveness of both single-agent carfilzomib and carfilzomib + filanesib in treating myeloma. Patients will be allowed to crossover from single-agent carfilzomib to carfilzomib + filanesib if disease progression occurs. Approximately 75 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.
NCT02784444
This is a randomized, double-blinded study of three doses of MSDC-0602K or placebo given orally once daily to subjects with biopsy proven NASH with fibrosis and no cirrhosis.
NCT03696589

In addition, the study aims to explore the effect estimates of the Pre-Active PD intervention on self-efficacy, motivation, stage of behavior change, and physical activity levels in people with early stage Parkinson's disease.
NCT03345901
Despite improved glycemic and systemic control for many patients with diabetes, over the past several decades, diabetic retinopathy (DR) develops and progresses in a large proportion of patients, and visual loss from diabetic eye complications continues to be a leading cause of blindness in the US and other developed countries worldwide. Thus, even a modest ability to prevent DR onset or to slow DR worsening might substantially reduce the number of patients at risk for diabetes-related vision loss worldwide. Widespread use of an oral agent effective at reducing worsening of DR might also decrease the numbers of patients who undergo treatment for DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) and who are consequently at risk for side effects that adversely affect visual function. Two major studies of fenofibrate, the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) and The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD)-eye study, have demonstrated clinically important reduction in progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes assigned to fibrate compared with placebo. However, despite the positive clinical trial results, fenofibrate has not gained wide acceptance as a preventive agent by either ophthalmologists or primary diabetes care providers. Thus, it is important to provide further evidence demonstrating whether or not selectively increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) activity reduces progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy at baseline. Pemafibrate is a more potent and selective PPARα modulator than fenofibrate. Its efficacy is currently being evaluated in the Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular OutcoMes by Reducing Triglycerides IN patiENts With diabeTes (PROMINENT) study for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the large study cohort with a substantial proportion likely to have DR and the multi-year duration of the PROMINENT trial, this study represents a unique opportunity to assess effects of chronic PPARα activation through pemafibrate therapy on DR outcomes. Primary Study Objective: To assess whether treatment with pemafibrate (0.2 mg orally BID) compared with placebo reduces the hazard rate of diabetic retinopathy worsening in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy without neovascularization in at least one eye who are participating in the parent PROMINENT trial.
NCT02201212
In this research study, the investigators are evaluating the clinical benefit of everolimus in cancer patients with inactivating TSC1 or TSC2 mutations or activating MTOR mutations. This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called everolimus to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. It also means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not yet approved everolimus for your type of cancer. Everolimus is a drug that may stop cancer cells from growing by blocking an important factor (mTOR) involved in the growth of cells. This drug has been used in treatment for other cancers and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of several types of cancer, including renal cell carcinoma. Treatment with this drug has been associated with responses in some patients whose cancers had mutations in TSC1 or TSC2. The investigators think that patients whose tumors have mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 may have a good chance of responding to treatment with drugs like everolimus.
NCT01649336
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer will receive investigational study drug MEK162 and paclitaxel. Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with paclitaxel in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 36 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and bad, the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine (Gemzar) and paclitaxel (Taxol) have in combination with twice daily radiation treatment on locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT02456727
Chronic pain is a major public health problem that places many burdens on individuals, including impairment of physical and psychological functioning, lost productivity, and side effects of medications used to treat pain. There is also substantial evidence that minority populations differ both in prevalence and outcomes of chronic pain; access to care is a key component in these differences. Strong evidence now supports the use of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, including when provided in the primary care setting to participants from ethnically diverse, medically underserved populations. Acupuncture is slowly being integrated into pain management in many conventional health care settings, but cost and reimbursement for this service remain obstacles to offering acupuncture, especially in primary care and safety net settings. Because group acupuncture can be offered at much lower cost, demonstrating that individual and group delivery are equally effective could reduce barriers to use of this effective pain management approach. The primary aim of this study will be to evaluate whether acupuncture delivered in the group setting for participants with chronic pain is equal to acupuncture delivered in the individual setting. A secondary objective will be to use qualitative analysis to understand and describe the participants' experience of both acupuncture approaches, and to utilize this data to inform intervention delivery and dissemination, to better incorporate the participants' perspective.
NCT04222244
Neck pain, neck muscle weakness, and limited neck range of motion have been shown in individuals with sinus headaches. Individuals in this previous study self-diagnosed their sinus headaches. It is unknown whether or not individuals who have been diagnosed with sinus headaches according to diagnostic criteria also present with musculoskeletal impairments. The purpose of this study is to determine if musculoskeletal neck impairments are present in individuals diagnosed with headaches attributed to rhinosinusitis compared to people without headaches. Upper cervical range of motion can be measured using different tests. The side bend rotation test has been suggested as potentially more useful than the flexion rotation test in individuals with hyper-laxity, however, has not been examined in a symptomatic population. A secondary purpose is to compare the side bend rotation test to the cervical flexion rotation test in people with varying degrees of joint laxity.
NCT04043819
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of an intraarticular injection of an investigational biologic product (IBP), PSC-01, the patient's own adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) extracted from a lipoaspirate sample, to treat the pain of osteoarthritis in a single knee. The secondary objective is to get initial data on efficacy of the PSC-01.

NCT01983501
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose (RD) and to assess the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (ONT-380) combined with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2+ breast cancer.
NCT01196208
The purpose of this study is to provide the option of brentuximab vedotin treatment to eligible patients in studies SGN35-005 and C25001
NCT03090945
The goal of this study is to identify significant clinical and laboratory risk factors in pediatric patients with significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This is defined as bleeding that necessitates an upper endoscopic evaluation to either diagnose or treat upper GI bleeding during their hospital admission. If a predictive/risk stratification relationship exists, these data could permit a more effective triaging and intervention scheme in pediatric patients presenting with complaints of gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition we want to get a better understanding of the re-bleeding rate after endoscopic therapy for upper GI bleeding and if there are any identifiable risk factors for re-bleeding. Lastly we want to understand best practice management for upper GI bleeding.
NCT01088217
The purpose of this study is to investigate inherited genetic factors that play a role in the development of familial pulmonary fibrosis and to identify a group of genes that predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis. Finding the genes that cause pulmonary fibrosis is the first step at developing better methods for early diagnosis and improved treatment for pulmonary fibrosis. The overall hypothesis is that inherited genetic factors predispose individuals to develop pulmonary fibrosis.
