NCT00679991
PRT-201 is a protein that causes long lasting dilation of blood vessels when applied to the outside surface of the blood vessel. The purpose of this study is to determine if PRT-201, when applied to a limited segment of blood vessel immediately after surgery to create an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), is safe, dilates the blood vessel, and increases blood flow through the AVF.
NCT00903032
We propose to test the effectiveness of a multi-faceted patient-centered adherence intervention among veterans following ACS hospitalization to improve adherence to cardioprotective medications (primary aim). Secondary aims will assess whether the intervention improves achievement of secondary prevention blood pressure (BP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol goals, reduces cardiac endpoints (myocardial infarction ) MI hospitalization, coronary revascularization, all-cause mortality) and is cost-effective. ANTICIPATED IMPACT(S) : If successful, the proposed intervention will increase adherence to cardioprotective medications (i.e., -blockers, statins, clopidogrel, and ACE inhibitors) by helping veterans take their medications routinely as prescribed, the quality of cardiovascular care for veterans by helping patients achieve BP and LDL goals which have been associated with improved outcomes, and the efficiency of care by using telephone calls and tele-monitoring for communication with patients rather than clinic visits. The findings of the study will address an important gap in knowledge (i.e., how to improve adherence to medications following ACS discharge) and will be generalizable to other VA Medical Centers and veterans.
NCT00836433
This is a randomized trial of 2 nursing home staff educational approaches to reduce falls in VA nursing home (CLC) residents. One is a traditional falls education program using web-based modules, feedback of quality indicators, and meetings with influential peers. The other is a 12 week program that trains staff to form better connections and use effective communication strategies with a diverse network of co-workers, so that problem solving about resident problems is enhanced. The study will test whether the second intervention increases the effectiveness of the traditional falls education program.
NCT02132663
This clinical trial will evaluate an investigational infant formula with an alternate source of DHA to determine if it provides normal growth and if it is well tolerated by term infants as compared to a marketed routine infant formula.
NCT00110487
The purpose of this investigational study is to determine if a study medication is safe and effective in reducing the symptoms associated with endometriosis; if the study medication reduces the need for pain medication for endometriosis symptoms; and if the study medication improves a participant's ability to carry out daily activities. Qualified participants will receive no cost treatment, which may include study-related examinations, diagnostic procedures including a Pap smear, laboratory testing, and a mammogram (aged 40-45). Qualified participants will also receive study medication at no cost. As a participant, the study volunteer may also experience the satisfaction of knowing she is helping the advancement of women's health care.
NCT00353587
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator-controlled phase 2/3 study of three dose levels of MBX-102 (200, 400, 600 mg) given orally to patients with type 2 diabetes receiving concomitant therapy with insulin. Eligible patients will be adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking intermediate- and/or long-acting insulin or pre-mixed (e.g., "70/30") insulin, or a combination of insulin and one or two non-TZD hypoglycemic agents including sulfonylurea, metformin, acrabose or Byetta, but who are poorly controlled on their existing therapy. Preference for enrollment will be given to patients on insulin monotherapy. Patients treated with a combination of insulin and other hypoglycemic agent(s) must be willing and able to discontinue and washout of the hypoglycemic agent(s) for the entire duration of the study (in toto, approximately 28 weeks). Patients who are taking fixed doses of a short-acting insulin (e.g., not a "sliding scale") in combination with intermediate-acting insulin may qualify for the study if both the patient and investigator are willing to either change to pre-mixed insulin (e.g., 70/30) or discontinue use of the short acting insulin for at least 26 weeks. Patients treated with a sliding scale of short-acting insulin will not be eligible for enrollment.
NCT01103414
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of three dose levels of Mitoglitazone™ (MSDC-0160) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
NCT01411280
The purpose of this study is to assess whether methylphenidate is effective in enhancing the cognitive performance of children with the HbSS or HbSC genotype of SCD who have sustained neurological complications on laboratory-based measures of sustained attention, reaction time, and executive functions, and indirectly, verbal short-term and long-term memory.
NCT00085150
RATIONALE: LMB-2 immunotoxin can locate cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of LMB-2 immunotoxin in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia or lymphoma.
NCT00005057
RATIONALE: Inserting a modified herpesvirus gene into a person's melanoma cells may make the cancer more sensitive to the antiviral agent ganciclovir. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating patients who have stage IV melanoma.
NCT02425384
The primary objective of this protocol is to test whether an activity monitor with an online motivational rewards component will increase physical activity levels of middle school-aged students. The secondary objective is to learn about the functionality and utilization of the activity meter device among this age group.
NCT01193348
The primary purpose is to assess the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in pediatric patients with aHUS to control TMA as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
NCT00466323
The purpose of this study is to learn how to help veterans play a stronger role in shaping their mental health care. Specifically we want to see if we can help veterans improve their mental health treatment by helping them decide if they want to involve family in their mental health treatment, and if so, how. The study will compare a "family member provider" program to an "enhanced treatment as usual approach" in achieving these goals.
NCT01731054
The primary objectives of the study are as follows: To develop and optimize a renal functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol consisting of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI), Blood-Oxygen- Level-Dependent MRI (BOLD-MRI), Arterial Spin Labeling MRI (ASL-MRI), Phase Contrast MRI (PC-MRI), and T1rho-MRI; To compare renal functional MRI cross-sectional readouts between normal healthy volunteers (NHV) and lupus nephritis (LN) participants. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: Explore whether renal functional MRI techniques discriminate between renal inflammatory activity and damage in lupus nephritis (LN); To examine whether renal functional MRI measurements correlate with laboratory features of renal involvement and renal function in participants with lupus nephritis (LN).
NCT01160484
This is a phase II, multicenter, open label, nonrandomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide at a dose of 10 mg/dose in combination with bortezomib at 1.0 mg/m2/dose, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) at 4.0 mg/m2/dose, and intravenous (IV) dexamethasone at 40 mg/dose in adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The study consists of a screening period, followed by up to eight 28 day open label treatment cycles, a final assessment to occur 28 days after the end of the last treatment cycle, and a follow-up period.

The study is an evaluation of a systemic intervention to enhance the delivery of care according to practice guidelines for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The immediate objectives are to (1) implement three component model (3CM) in VA primary care clinics; and (2) evaluate the effects of 3CM on clinician behavior and patient outcomes. The long-term objectives are to generate information to support implementation research on the RESPECT model for treating PTSD in primary care and ultimately, the implementation of the model in VHA to provide care to veterans with PTSD.
