NCT00806286
The study has a safety and a Phase 2 portion. In the safety portion of the study, subjects with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer will be treated with study drug (CS-7017) in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel to evaluate safety. In the Phase 2 portion of the study, subjects will receive study drug (CS-7017) or placebo in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel to evaluate effectiveness and safety. The study will find out if adding CS-7017 to carboplatin and paclitaxel will be safe and improve progression free survival in subjects with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT02351258
The overall goal of this Community Central Line Infection Prevention (CCLIP) trial, supported by grant R01 HS022870 from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is to determine whether use of a promising new intervention, namely 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines, in the home setting is associated with a reduction in ambulatory central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in a high-risk population of pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Despite successes in CLABSI reduction efforts for inpatients, it remains unknown what generalizable best practices should be with chronic central lines in the home setting and how effective involving patients and caregivers across multiple institutions in CLABSI reduction efforts will be. This research will involve a cluster-randomized, cross-over design, clinical trial. This proposal will focus on the caregivers integral to ambulatory pediatric central line care: patients and families. The specific aims of the proposed research program are: Specific Aim #1: Evaluate whether use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines reduces the rate of CLABSI in ambulatory pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Hypothesis: Use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines will be associated with at least a 25% reduction in the ambulatory CLABSI rate for pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Specific Aim #2: Evaluate whether use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines reduces the rate of all positive blood cultures in ambulatory pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Hypothesis: Use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines will be associated with at least a 25% reduction in the positive blood culture rate at home for pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Specific Aim #3: Evaluate whether the use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines changes the distribution of bacteria isolated from blood cultures of pediatric hematology/oncology patients. Hypothesis: Use of 70% isopropyl alcohol embedded protective caps on central lines will reduce Gram-positive CLABSI, secondary blood steam infections, and single positive blood cultures at home for pediatric hematology/oncology patients.
NCT02949245
272 subjects with "high risk" adult spinal deformity requiring surgical correction were enrolled in the previous prospective multi-center international Scoli-RISK-1 study. "High risk" patients were defined by either their diagnoses and/or the type of surgical intervention as listed in the inclusion criteria. Neurological complications in the form of new motor and sensory deficits were monitored prospectively in all patients at hospital discharge, at 6 weeks (± 2 weeks), 6 months (± 2 months) and 24 months (± 2 months) after the surgery. The relationship to the surgical intervention was assessed in all new deficits. Regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between patient demographics, co-morbidities, treatment history, spinal deformity characteristics, surgical characteristics, non-neurologic complications and pre-surgical status to occurrence of a neurologic deficit after surgery. All enrolled Scoli-RISK-1 participants will be re-consented and asked to return for a 5 year FU visit.
NCT03119389
The necessity of Hand hygiene (HH) before donning non-sterile gloves is unknown. Furthermore, because of the additional time required to cleanse hands and then don gloves, as well as the cumbersome nature of applying gloves to recently washed hands, this practice leads to non-compliance with both HH and glove use - placing patients at risk. In a pilot study, the investigators performed a randomized trial of 230 healthcare workers and demonstrated no difference in total bacterial colony counts or identification of pathogenic bacteria from the gloves of persons who either performed HH or did not perform HH prior to putting on non-sterile gloves. If unnecessary, HH before non-sterile glove use wastes valuable time, which might otherwise be spent engaged in direct patient care. And removing this unnecessary step may lead to increased compliance with infection prevention measures. In Aim A, the investigators will perform a multi-center randomized control trial to evaluate the efficacy of a direct gloving strategy to improve compliance with infection prevention practices. In Aim B, the investigators will perform a nested multi-center validation study, where the gloved hands of healthcare workers will be randomly sampled to determine bacterial contamination of non-sterile gloves after donning.
NCT03123471
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis of the scalp. Approximately 300 subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis of the scalp will be randomized 2:1 to receive either apremilast 30 mg twice daily (BID) or placebo for the first 16 weeks.
NCT00804973
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled study of LY2590443 in approximately 200 participants with migraines.
NCT00515710
Several subjects enrolled in a multi-site, gene transfer clinical study to evaluate the intrahepatic administration of AAV2-hFIX16 vector for the treatment of severe hemophilia B between 2001 and 2009. As the US FDA has established guidelines for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of subjects receiving investigational gene therapy products, this protocol seeks to characterize the clinical outcome and the type and seriousness of adverse events following the AAV gene transfer. The primary study tools will consist of annual history/physical examination and blood tests, as well as periodic liver ultrasound, to characterize clinical outcomes. Where possible, data will be obtained for up to 15 years following hepatic AAV2-hFIX16 gene transfer.
