NCT01081262
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin given together with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with oxaliplatin given together with capecitabine with or without bevacizumab as first-line therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV, or recurrent (has come back) stage I epithelial ovarian or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy given together with or without bevacizumab is more effective in treating epithelial ovarian cancer or fallopian tube cancer.
NCT03137771
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well giving maintenance chemotherapy with or without local consolidation therapy works in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in maintenance chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, pemetrexed disodium, erlotinib hydrochloride, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Local consolidation therapy such as radiation/stereotactic body radiation or surgery may kill cancer cells left after initial treatment. Giving maintenance chemotherapy and local consolidation therapy together may work better than maintenance chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT05929482
Latinas continue to be affected disproportionally by HIV in the United States (US). Often, Latinas are not aware of their HIV status. Also, their perception of low risk for HIV interferes with condom use, HIV testing and lack of awareness, access, and use of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis \[PrEP\]. About 60% of total HIV cases in NC occur among women of childbearing age, thus vulnerability to HIV is particularly acute among Latinas between ages 18 and 44 years old, an age group with the highest rate of new HIV infections in NC. These disparities indicate that HIV prevention among Latinas is urgent; therefore, the investigators propose an innovative intervention - a filmed dramatized story (telenovela/soap opera) Infección de Amor \[IA\] (Love Infection) - culturally tailored for Latinas in the US and delivered online. Infección de Amor was filmed and developed but has not been tested with the target audience. The proposed study will pilot test IA and move the intervention to online using a website that will allow individual access around the clock from any location and device, such as a smartphone, ensuring wide dissemination of the intervention in the future. This is a a two-year planning grant (R34) to prepare for an R01 efficacy trial. The aims are to: 1) Develop the intervention delivery website, conduct a website usability test, and test the feasibility and acceptability of the IA intervention (four telenovela episodes) with 10 Latinas, 2) Conduct a randomized controlled pilot study to examine change in HIV prevention behaviors (condom use; HIV testing; and PrEP awareness, access, and use) comparing 71 intervention and 71 control Latinas from baseline (Time 1 \[T1\], 0 months) to post-active intervention (Time 2 \[T2\], 1 month), and to six months follow-up, a period with no contact from the study staff (Time 3 \[T3, 7 months\]), and 3) Complete establishing the study infrastructure, expanding the multidisciplinary team, building the research partnerships with the community, finalize the protocol and training materials, refine recruitment and retention strategies, data collection and data management procedures, and obtain institutional review board approval in preparation for an R01 efficacy study. This study address the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) goal #4: increase NIDA research and programs' public impact. This is a novel intervention to advance HIV prevention for Latinas. This study implement a culturally durable and feasible intervention for Latinas.
NCT02220426
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of detecting Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) in healthy subjects by using hyperpolarized xenon gas MRI. In this pilot study, MRI of BAT of healthy adult volunteers will be performed at 3 Tesla to assess image quality using a prototype surface coil and pulse sequence following inhalation of hyperpolarized 129Xe (xenon) gas at thermoneutrality and under mild cold condition. The investigators are testing the abilities of xenon MRI to see brown adipose tissue and detect its thermogenic activity.
NCT06817226
Breast reconstruction is a critical component of breast cancer treatment because it restores quality of life and body image after mastectomy. However, Spanish-speaking Latina women are significantly less likely to undergo reconstruction (13.5% vs. 41% for non-Latina White or highly acculturated Latina), meet with a reconstructive surgeon (18.1% vs. 72.6% for non-Latina White), or receive adequate information. Spanish-speaking Latina breast cancer survivors who do not have reconstruction experience the highest rates of decisional dissatisfaction and regret, compared to any other group of breast cancer survivors. Persons diagnosed with cancer who primarily speak Spanish and identify as Latin American (hereafter we use the term "Spanish-speaking Latinx/a cancer survivor") are less likely to receive guideline-concordant treatment and more likely to have poor cancer outcomes. One way to improve guideline-concordant treatment is through shared decision-making and decision support. When a decision is preference-sensitive (the right choice depends on the person's preferences), such as decisions about breast reconstruction after mastectomy, decision aids are effective. Unfortunately, most decision aids in the United States are written in English and developed or tested with few Latinx people. The BREASTChoice decision aid, proven effective in two randomized controlled trials, addresses knowledge gaps in breast cancer survivors. This study focuses on developing a Spanish-language version of BREASTChoice, which was previously unavailable. For that reason, the Cultural and Linguistic Adaptation Framework (CLAF) incorporates qualitative and experiential data to adapt BREASTChoice. The adaptation process takes place in five steps: appraise, review, assess, solicit, and integrate.
NCT05489588
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single-arm, clinical study to evaluate the performance, safety and efficacy of the GORE® VIABAHN® FORTEGRA Venous Stent (formerly known as GORE® VIAFORT Vascular Stent) for treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous obstruction.
NCT05730725
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of BMS-986322 in participants with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
NCT01147965
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that a cancer vaccine has on you and your cancer. The cancer vaccine is called Ad5 \[E1-, E2b-\]-CEA(6D)or ETBX-011 and is made by Etubics. This vaccine is based on a virus called an adenovirus but it has been changed to express the protein CEA that is found on some cancer cells. Therefore, the vaccine can tell the immune system to attack cancer cells which make CEA. The investigators are trying to determine whether giving this virus is safe and whether this causes a strong immune system attack on the cancer. ETBX-011 is an investigational drug.
NCT05743881
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of mRNA-1365, an mRNA vaccine targeting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and mRNA-1345, an mRNA vaccine targeting RSV, in participants aged 5 months to \<24 months.

NCT03945162
This is a phase II, open-label, single-arm, multi-center Study conducted in Canada and the United States. Patients with Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer ("NMIBC") Carcinoma In-Situ ("CIS") (with or without resected papillary disease (Ta, T1)) that are considered Bacillus Calmette-Guerin ("BCG")-Unresponsive or who are intolerant to BCG therapy. BCG-Unresponsive is at least one of the following: At least five of six doses of an initial induction course plus at least two of three doses of maintenance therapy; or, at least five of six doses of an initial induction course plus at least two of six doses of a second induction course. Patients experiencing disease relapse within 12 months after finishing the second course of BCG therapy are considered BCG-Unresponsive. The Study will consist of 90 patients who will undergo one (1) Study Procedure, with up to two (2) additional re-induction Study Procedures based on patient response.
NCT05514535
This study compares semaglutide, together with a lower dose of insulin glargine, to a higher dose of insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study looks at how well the study medicines control blood glucose levels. Participants will either get semaglutide together with a lower dose of insulin glargine or a higher dose of insulin glargine. The study will last for about 47 weeks (approximately 11 months). Participants will have 9 clinic visits, 15 phone/video calls and 1 home visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 2 periods of 10 days during the study.
NCT03896750
This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-dose, sequential group study to compare the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of pretomanid in the following groups of participants: 1) participants with severe renal impairment including those with end stage renal disease (ESRD) not on dialysis, and participants with mild or moderate renal impairment, designated as Groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively; and 2) participants with normal renal function matched to the above renal impairment groups, designated as Groups 1A, 1B, and 1C, respectively. The study will be conducted following a reduced PK study design in Part A. Part A will enroll participants from Group 1A (i.e., 6 healthy matched controls) and Group 2 (i.e., 6 participants with severe renal impairment and ESRD, not on dialysis). A decision to proceed to Part B will be made after the PK of pretomanid, and safety in participants enrolled in Part A have been reviewed. If Part A demonstrates at least a 50% increase in pretomanid area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) in Group 2 (severe renal impairments and ESRD, not on dialysis) relative to the exposures in Group 1A (matched participants with normal renal function), then the reduced PK study will extend to the full PK study to enroll participants into Part B (i.e., to investigate mild and moderate renal impairment). All Part B groups (1B, 1C, 3, and 4) will be enrolled concurrently. If the reduced PK study shows at least a 50% increase in AUC in patients with severe renal impairment and patients with ESRD not yet on dialysis relative to the matched healthy controls, a "full PK" renal impairment study in patients with all intermediate levels of renal function impairment should be conducted. Otherwise, no further study is recommended. The approximate patient involvement will be 3 months. The primary objective is to evaluate the PK profiles of pretomanid in plasma and urine after a single oral dose of 200 mg in participants with renal impairment compared to matched healthy controls.
NCT05403086
This multicenter, triple-blind, phase 2, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of psilocybin therapy compared to an active control in treating demoralization in adults near the end of life (≤2 years life expectancy).
NCT03460769
The Coordinating and Data Management Center (CDMC) at MD Anderson Cancer will be responsible for the coordination and data management for the Evaluation of a mixed meal test for Diagnosis and characterization of Type 3c diabetes mellitus secondary to pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis (DETECT), which is part of the NIH U01 funded Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC). Similar to all studies that will be coordinated and managed by the CDMC, no patient enrollment will occur at MDACC. All patient recruitment will occur at external sites that are a part of the CPDPC, which are listed in the appended DETECT protocol. The data management systems, auditing, and monitoring effort are supported by the CDMC.
NCT02620852
Most physicians still use a one-size-fits-all approach to breast screening in which all women, regardless of their personal history, family history or genetics (except BRCA carriers) are recommended to have annual mammograms starting at age 40. Mammograms benefit women by detecting cancers early when they are easier to treat, but they are not perfect. Recent news stories have discussed some of the potential harms: large numbers of positive results that cause stressful recalls for additional mammograms and biopsies. With the current screening approach, half of the women who undergo annual screening for ten years will have at least one false positive biopsy. Potentially more important are cancer diagnoses for growths that might never come to clinical attention if left alone (called "overdiagnosis"). This can lead to unnecessary treatment. Even more concerning is evidence that up to 20% of breast cancers detected today may fall into the category of "overdiagnosis." The WISDOM 1.0 study compares annual screening with a risk-based breast cancer screening schedule, based upon each woman's personal risk of breast cancer. The investigators have designed the study to be inclusive of all, so that even women who might be nervous about being randomly assigned to receive a particular type of care (a procedure that is typical in clinical studies) will still be able to participate by choosing the type of care they receive. For participants in the risk-based screening arm, each woman will receive a personal risk assessment that includes her family and medical history, breast density measurement and tests for genes (mutations and variations) linked to the development of breast cancer. Women who have the highest personal risk of developing breast cancer will receive more frequent screening, while women with a lower personal risk would receive less frequent screening. No woman will be screened less than is recommended by the USPSTF breast cancer screening guidelines. If this study is successful, women will gain a realistic understanding of their personal risk of breast cancer as well as strategies to reduce their risk, and fewer women will suffer from the anxiety of false positive mammograms and unnecessary biopsies. The investigators believe this study has the potential to transform breast cancer screening in America. Starting in Spring 2023, WISDOM's design shifted to remove the randomized option, but will continue with the preference/self-selection option for participation (WISDOM 2.0). Participants will therefore continue to choose their study arm (Personalized or Annual) rather than have the option to be randomized. This study design change was made after review of the WISDOM 1.0 data by an independent monitoring committee, which indicates that personalized screening does not cause harm. WISDOM 2.0 has also lowered the eligibility to ages 30-74. Women ages 30-39 will only be offered to join the Personalized Arm.
NCT05710640
The study is a multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tcVNS on pain and inflammation associated with JIA. tcVNS is administered with a device that gives off mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve. Part of the vagus nerve and its branches are located in the head and neck. For this study, the impulses will be administered using a small electrode at the cymba concha for participants receiving treatment with active tcVNS and at the neck for participants receiving sham stimulation. The electrode helps to conduct the stimulation through the skin. This stimulation triggers a chemical response through the nerves and has been found to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in several diseases. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of tcVNS on JIA ACR 50 in participants with active JIA. The components of the active and sham tcVNS devices, utilizing the Roscoe Medical TENS 7000, have been FDA 510(k)-cleared and have been determined by the IRB to be a nonsignificant risk device.
