NCT02003209
This randomized phase III trial studies docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with estrogen deprivation to see how they work compared to docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab without estrogen deprivation in treating patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer that is operable or has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab, 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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using goserelin acetate and aromatase inhibition therapy may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy with or without hormone therapy may be an effective treatment for hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive, operable or locally advanced breast cancer.
NCT06921382
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how to improve exclusive breastfeeding rates. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do Hispanic mothers benefit from peer counseling support from peer counselors who can speak Spanish? Are mothers more likely to continue exclusive breastfeeding if additional funds are given so that the WIC exclusive breastfeeding package has the same cash value as the WIC formula feeding package? Researchers will compare participants in the intervention group (who receive peer counseling and additional funds) to a control group (who do not receive peer counseling or additional funds) to see if the intervention package improves breastfeeding rates. All participants (intervention and control) will complete weekly surveys about their feeding experiences ($8 per week). Members of the research team will also take infant weight/length measurements at home (twice during the first month and then at 2, 4, and 6 months). Participants will be recruited during pregnancy and the study will last for the first 6 months after their babies are born. Mothers and their infants are both participants in the study. Participants in the intervention condition will also be matched with Spanish-speaking peer counselors who will visit mothers at home regularly (weekly at the beginning of the study, monthly at the end of the study). In Month 1, mothers can choose to receive a $150 gift card or an electric breast pump. In Months 2-5, if infants are signed up for the WIC exclusive breastfeeding package, infants will receive $100 and mothers will receive $50. If infants are signed up for the WIC partial breastfeeding package, infants will receive $50 and mothers will receive $30.
NCT03851406
Deployment of military personnel has been associated with increased respiratory illness likely due, in part, to inhalation of unusual particulate matter (PM), such as from burn pits. Inflammation is a key initial response to inhaled particulates. The investigator has developed a protocol using inhaled wood smoke particles (WSP) as a way to study PM-induced airway inflammation. Exposure to wood smoke particles causes symptoms, even in healthy people, such as eye irritation, cough, shortness of breath, and increased mucous production. The purpose of this research study is to see if a single treatment of inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) can diminish this PM-induced airway inflammation by rapidly clearing the WSP inhaled particles from airway surfaces. The exposure will be 500 ug/m³ of WSP for 2 hours, with intermittent exercise on a bicycle and rest. The wood is burned in a typical wood stove and piped into the chamber.
NCT06075316
This is a single-site, non-randomized study on the outcomes of remote real-time "ePRO monitoring" in thoracic surgery patients. ePRO monitoring is a health information technology intervention comprised of delivering longitudinal electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) surveys (e.g., on symptoms, and physical functioning) coupled with automated provider alerts for concerning survey responses.
NCT03611868
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of APG-115, an MDM2 inhibitor, either alone or in combination with pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, in patients with metastatic melanomas or advanced solid tumors. Our hypothesis is that restoration of the immune response concomitant to inhibition of the MDM2 pathway (which restores p53 functions) may promote cancer cell death, leading to effective anticancer therapy.
NCT03387813
The GUIDE-HF IDE clinical trial is intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of the CardioMEMS™ HF System in an expanded patient population including heart failure (HF) patients outside of the present indication, but at risk for future HF events or mortality.
NCT05852431
To determine the effect of Pegozafermin on fasting serum triglyceride levels in subjects with Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (TG ≥500 to ≤2000 mg/dL) after 26 weeks of treatment.
NCT05842967
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immunogenicity of a study vaccine (called RSVpreF) in several adult groups. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common type of virus (germ) that can cause severe illness, where medical help is needed. RSV can lead to airway diseases in all ages. Vaccines help your body make antibodies which help fight against diseases. This is called an immune response. This study will measure how much antibody participants make after receiving RSVpreF (immunogenicity). The study consists of 2 groups (Substudy A and Substudy B). Substudy A is seeking approximately 675 participants who are: * Between 18 and 60 years of age. * Considered having a high likelihood of severe RSV disease due to certain long-term medical conditions. Such medical conditions do not include immunocompromising conditions. Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 2 times. At the first clinic visit, participants will receive 1 shot of RSVpreF or placebo in the arm by chance. A placebo looks like the study vaccine but contains no active ingredients. At each clinic visit, a blood sample will be taken. A third (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 6 months long for each participant. Substudy B is seeking approximately 200 participants who are: * At least 18 years of age. About half of the participants will be at least 60 years of age. * Considered having a weakened immune system (immunocompromised). Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 3 times. All participants will receive a shot of RSVpreF at the first study clinic visit. The second study clinic visit will be 1 month later. All participants will receive a second shot of the study vaccine at this second study clinic visit. Blood samples will be taken at the 3 study clinic visits. A fourth (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 7 months long for each participant.
NCT05226507
The purpose of the dose escalation phase is to evaluate the safety profile of escalating doses and dose schedules of NXP800. In the expansion phase the preliminary efficacy in subjects with ARID1a mutated ovarian clear cell and ovarian endometrioid cancers will be estimated.
NCT03878316
Primary: The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of intranasal oxytocin in reducing the weekly percentage of heavy drinking days over the 10 weeks of maintenance treatment among subjects with moderate to severe Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). A "heavy drinking day" is 4 or more drinks per drinking day for women and 5 or more drinks per drinking day for men. Secondary: Secondary objectives include assessment of other measures of the effects of oxytocin compared with placebo on reduction of alcohol use as well as effects on psychological assessments, alcohol craving, alcohol-related consequences, cigarette smoking and other nicotine use, retention in the study, safety, and application site (nares) tolerability throughout the study.

NCT02269280
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare how 2 different drugs, decitabine and azacitidine, when given on a shorter than standard dosing schedule, may help to control MDS. The safety of each study drug given on these schedules will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Decitabine and azacitidine are both FDA approved and commercially available for use in patients with MDS. Giving these drugs on a different schedule than is standard is considered investigational. The study doctor can tell you how the study drugs are designed to work.
NCT04814693
In acute pancreatitis, approximately 20% of the cases result in severe necrotizing pancreatitis which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Necrotizing pancreatitis is characterized by the development of an acute necrotic collection and as this collection persists beyond 4 weeks, walled off necrosis (WON) encapsulates the collection. To date, this is treated by the step-up approach, which contains percutaneous drainage and minimally invasive video assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage followed by direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN). Different DEN techniques are available for the treatment of WON, however, there is a lack of effective endoscopic instruments to perform DEN. Recently, the first dedicated alternative to conventional DEN has been cleared for use, namely the EndoRotor® Resection System. This device is a powered mechanical debridement device intended for use in endoscopic procedures to resect and remove necrotic debris during DEN for WON. Previous (pilot and feasibility) studies showed promising results in terms of the amount of procedures, adverse events and length of hospital stay. Therefore, aim of this study is to assess the performance of the EndoRotor, as compared to conventional endoscopic techniques, for direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) of walled off necrosis (WON) in a randomized controlled trial.
