NCT01674478
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) are common devastating gastrointestinal diseases in premature infants. These infants often need surgical intervention to remove the dead bowel and create temporary enterostomies, resulting in short bowel syndrome (SBS), a malabsorption state due to insufficient bowel length or dysfunction to digest and absorb nutrients adequately. These infants are often nourished primarily with parental nutrition (PN) which can lead to many complications including PN-associated liver disease. However, with enteral feeding, the remaining bowel can adapt somewhat to the shortened state, reducing the need for PN. Enteral fats appear to be the most trophic macronutrients with the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) being the most beneficial in promoting bowel adaptation. Fish oil (FO), a main source of n-3 LCPUFA, has been shown to promote bowel adaptation. Microlipid (ML) primarily contains n-6 PUFA and has been found to decrease ostomy output and increase weight gain in some SBS infants. WThe investigators will soon have completed a randomized clinical trial (EMLFO trial) (WFUHS IRB00011501, NCT01306838) entitled "Early Supplementation of Enteral Lipid with Combination of Microlipid and Fish Oil in Infants with Enterostomies". The preliminary data suggest that (a) by supplementing enteral ML/FO, we were able to decrease the use of IL; (b) premature infants in the treatment group who received ML/FO achieved higher enteral calorie (% of total calorie) intake before reanastomosis and better weight gain (g/day) after reanastomosis than those who received routine care in control group; and (c) the direct bilirubin level before reanastomosis tended to be lower in the treatment group than the control group although the difference was not statistically significant. Because the intervention consisted of both an increase in enteral fat intake as well as a specific type of fat intake (i.e. FO), it is unclear whether improved outcomes in the ML/FO group are attributable to FO's anti-inflammatory effects or the increased fat intake. Therefore, the investigators have designed a next randomized clinical trial to compare ML alone versus ML plus FO. We hypothesize that as compared to ML alone, ML plus FO will result in decreased systemic inflammation, as indicated by blood levels of inflammation-related proteins and indicators of oxidative stress.
NCT00310050
RATIONALE: Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pemetrexed when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT02374957
Twenty patients will be recruited to CLEAR. Ten will be randomized to the treatment arm (Cilostazol) and tenwill be randomized to the control group. Patients randomized to the treatment arm will receive Cilostazol for 90 days. The primary purpose of this study is to collect quality of life data on patients undergoing peripheral revascularization in order to determine the sample size required to adequately power a trial of Cilostazol versus usual care without Cilostazol and its effect on quality of life.
NCT02109809
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of low-dose total lymphoid irradiation (LD-TLI) in treating patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease that has not responded to treatment with steroids. LD-TLI is a procedure in which all of the body's major lymph nodes are treated with small doses of radiation in order to reset the dysfunctional immune system. LD-TLI may work as a treatment for graft-versus-host disease caused by a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
NCT00499408
RATIONALE: Vitamin D and soy extract may be effective in lowering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with recurrent prostate cancer that has not responded to previous treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vitamin D together with soy supplements works in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
NCT01687166
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Blazer Open-Irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter for the treatment of drug refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
NCT02374060
To evaluate the relative efficacy of three commonly utilized regional corticosteroids for the regional treatment of uveitic macular edema: periocular triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal dexamethasone implant. The primary efficacy measure will be percent change in central subfield thickness as measured by OCT at 8 weeks. Participants will continue in the study for 24 weeks in order to evaluate relative effects of the 3 treatment strategies on the duration of treatment effects, requirement for additional injections, and adverse effects. Note: The planned sample size for the POINT Trial was 267 subjects. On 17 July 2017, with 192 subjects enrolled, the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) reviewed the planned interim analysis and recommended that the goals of the trial could be accomplished by completing follow-up of enrolled subjects without the recruitment of additional subjects. Per the DSMC recommendations, recruitment was suspended and follow-up of enrolled subjects was completed according to the protocol.
NCT01931956
Prospective, multicenter, continued access registry of the MitraClip® Cardiovascular Valve Repair System in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation. Patients will undergo 30-day, 6-month, 12-month, 36-month and 60-month clinical follow-up. The study consists of two arms: a High Risk group (NCT01940120) and a Non-High Risk group (NCT00209274) . Patients that did not meet REALISM High Risk or Non-High Risk eligibility criteria were evaluated for consideration for either Emergency Use (EU) or Compassionate Use (CU).

NCT01958320
The primary goal of the trial is to compare two different Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) treatment approaches: 1) an "early treatment" approach or 2) a "conservative" approach. For the purposes of the study infants will be enrolled if they are delivered before 28 weeks gestation and have a moderate/large PDA present at 5-7 days after birth. The hypothesis is: treatment of a moderate size patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) will decrease the time needed for assisted respiratory support, diuretic therapy, and gavage feeding assistance, in addition to decreasing the incidence of ductus ligations or need for future outpatient cardiology follow-up appointments. The investigators hypothesize that one or more of these benefits will occur without an increase in the time taken to achieve full enteral feedings or in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or spontaneous intestinal perforations (SIP).The investigators will be comparing the effectiveness of early pharmacologic treatment with a control group of conservatively managed infants who will only receive treatment if they meet specific criteria for "rescue treatment".
NCT02708095

NCT01238549
The field of spinal cord injury rehabilitation medicine lacks a reliable, patient reported, health-related quality of life measurement tool. The National Institute of Health has provided funding to develop a spinal cord injury-specific, quality of life survey tool in non-Veterans with spinal cord injury called the spinal cord injury-quality of life (SCI-QOL). This quality of life survey asks questions regarding physical/medical, emotional, and social health as it relates to individuals with spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study is to include a Veteran population in the making of the quality of life survey. Each participant will be asked to complete a packet of quality of life questions. Participants will be given the opportunity to take the survey a second time, either 7-14 days or 5-7 months after the first survey. Taking the survey twice will allow the research team to test the reliability of the survey. Comparing the SCI-QOL with other legacy measures will allow the investigators to test the validity of the survey. Additionally, the investigators will be testing the SCI-QOL between Veterans and non-Veterans with SCI to determine if there are differences in their self-reported quality of life. This study will be recruiting participants at the James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Bronx, New York and the James A. Haley Veterans Affairs Hospital, Tampa, Florida.
