NCT02072434
The purpose of this study is to compare edoxaban to warfarin (with enoxaparin, if needed). It will see if edoxaban prevents stroke and other blood clotting problems as well and as safely as warfarin. People with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) might be able to join. Their doctors must plan to use shock to make their hearts beat normally. About 2200 people from different countries will join. They will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. They are anticipated to be in the study for around 82 days. Tests will include physicals and finger-pricks. Participants will provide blood and urine samples.
NCT00886535
This study will be an open-label prospective observational trial designed to test associations between polymorphisms of candidate genes and tamoxifen. Pre- and post-menopausal women taking tamoxifen as standard therapy or chemopreventive therapy will be included in this study.
NCT01836965
The objective of this study is to validate a social skills training program manual for adolescents (ages 13-17) with Asperger's Syndrome or high functioning autism. Approximately 150 adolescents with autism spectrum disorders will participate in this study, in groups consisting of 6 adolescents and 6 peer volunteers. Participants will participate in both group therapy and peer generalization sessions (in the form of a photography class) once a week over the course of twelve weeks. Participants and their parents will complete paper and pencil, online, or phone measures and video-recordings to assess the participant's social skills prior to the intervention, at completion of the intervention and three months later.

To determine if Itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids is safe and tolerable in patients with Grade IIB-IVD acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
NCT03169530
The Moderate Alcohol and Cardiovascular Health Trial (MACH15) is a multicenter, worldwide, randomized clinical trial of \~15 gm of alcohol daily versus abstention, using a balanced parallel design and single-blind assessment of all outcomes among approximately 7,800 participants aged 50 years and older with advanced cardiovascular risk. Intervention will average 6 years in duration with a common close-out date. Following recruitment and pre-screening, participants will attend a screening visit followed by a two-week abstention washout period, a baseline visit and randomization, and subsequent visits at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually until close-out.
NCT00807040
People with coronary artery disease (CAD) or people who have had a heart attack may develop a leak in the mitral valve of their heart and may therefore need to undergo surgery to fix the valve. The best way to fix the mitral valve remains undetermined. This study will evaluate whether it is better for people with severe mitral valve leakage to undergo a mitral valve replacement procedure or a mitral valve repair procedure.
NCT01672541
The Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships Initiative intends to promote respectful, nonviolent dating relationships among adolescents living in high-risk, urban communities. CDC has developed a comprehensive approach to promoting respectful, non-violent relationships based on current evidence based and evidence informed strategies. This comprehensive approach includes: school-based curricula for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students; separate parent programs for parents of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students; a communications campaign involving social media and near-peer brand ambassadors; an online training about dating violence for educators; policy assessment at the school or community level; and development and validation of school and community level indicators of teen dating violence. Additionally, schools assigned to the comprehensive condition will also receive intensive training and technical assistance to support implementation of these components. Among 4 U.S. sites, 44 schools will be randomly assigned to implement either the Dating Matters comprehensive approach or the "standard of care" approach, which we are operationalizing as Safe Dates, a an evidence based student curriculum for 8th graders. We hypothesize that the comprehensive approach will be more effective than the standard approach at preventing the perpetration and victimization of teen dating violence over time and at promoting positive relationship behaviors over time.
NCT01983293
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of left ventricular lead pacing location in the non-left bundle branch block (non-LBBB) heart failure patient population. The left ventricular lead pacing location will be guided by either the pacing site with the largest amount of dyssynchrony as measured by the LV electrical delay (QLV) or the physician's standard of care implant approach.
NCT02525302
This study, HALO-DMD-03, is a follow-on study to HALO-DMD-01 and HALO-DMD-02, and allows continued open-label access to HT-100 for subjects who have completed these studies. HALO-DMD-03 will provide safety and strength and function data on continuous long-term dosing. Data from this study will be used to inform the safety, tolerability, and dose selection for a future trial of HT-100 in boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
NCT01233375
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CO-1.01 is safe and effective for treating metastatic pancreatic cancer that did not respond to gemcitabine.
NCT01200394
PF-00489791 is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5. Our hypothesis is that PF-00489791 will enhance the relaxation of blood vessels within the kidney and so reduce blood pressure, improving renal function.
NCT01372787
This clinical trial studies the quality of life and care needs of patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Studying quality of life in patients with cancer may help determine the effects of gynecologic cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors.
NCT02037555
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of human-derived antithrombin III (AT-III \[Human\]) supplementation prior to high-risk, non-emergency, cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A total of 404 adult subjects undergoing CPB who meet the study eligibility criteria were planned to be randomized to receive either AT-III (Human) or placebo.
NCT01620801
Hemophilia B is a bleeding disease in males due to very low levels of coagulation factor IX (FIX) in the blood. The current treatment is intravenous injection of FIX clotting factor concentrates, in response to bleeding. This study will focus on the severe, most common type of hemophilia B. This study plans to use a virus called adeno-associated virus (AAV), which in nature causes no disease, and can be engineered to deliver the human FIX gene (AAV8-hFIX19 vector) to liver cells, where FIX is normally made. This study will use the AAV8-hFIX19 vector.
NCT02988388
The LTRC will facilitate histopathological research of pulmonary diseases by collecting lung tissues from donors and preparing and distributing collections of tissue specimens to researchers within and outside the LTRC. Collections of specimens will be linked to individual clinical data appropriate to the particular disease. The primary goal of the LTRC is to identify participants with suspected lung cancer or metastatic disease who are willing to provide informed consent for research use of their specimens and data. Secondarily, the LTRC investigators intend to collect clinical data, limited exposure data, physiologic studies, and radiographic studies from these participants.
NCT01176266
This clinical trial was conducted to study hypophosphatasia (HPP), a bone disorder caused by gene mutations or changes. These gene mutations cause low levels of an enzyme needed to harden bone. The purpose of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of a study drug called asfotase alfa (human recombinant tissue non-specific alkaline phosphate fusion protein) to see what effects it has on patients 5 years of age or less with HPP.
NCT02492737

The purpose of this observational registry is to determine the freedom from driveline (DL) infection events in subjects implanted with a HeartMate II LVAD in whom only the silicone portion of the DL is externalized resulting in a silicone skin interface (SSI)
NCT01150994
The NIMH s RFA-Suicide Prevention in Emergency Medicine Departments recognizes the emergency department (ED) as an important setting to increase suicide detection and prevention efforts but observes that evidence-based practice guidelines do not exist. In response, we have designed the Emergency Department Safety Assessment and Follow-up Evaluation (ED-SAFE) trial. The ED-SAFE study will be conducted using a quasi-experimental design appropriate for studying systems-based change. The study consists of two components (Screening Outcome \& Intervention Evaluation) and three phases of data collection: Treatment as Usual, Screening Alone, and Intervention. During each phase, 480 suicidal patients (1,440 total) will be enrolled and followed using multiple methods for 12 months. The Screening Outcome Component The Screening Outcome component will use data collected during the Treatment as Usual and Screening Alone phases. Consistent with systems-change principles, when universal screening is incorporated during the Screening Alone phase, it will be completed by the primary nurse as part of routine care. Primarily, it will focus on testing a practical approach to screen ED patients for suicidal ideation and behavior and will assess its impact on suicide detection, process outcomes, and suicide behaviors. Intervention Evaluation Component The Intervention Evaluation component will use data from the Treatment as Usual, Screening Alone, and Intervention Phases. During the Intervention phase, each ED will implement a multi-component, systems-based Intervention called the Safety Assessment and Follow-up Telephone Intervention (SAFTI). The SAFTI will combine elements of: (a) safety planning administered by nursing staff in the ED, and (b) Coping Long Term with Active Suicide Program (CLASP)-ED, a series of up to 7 semi-structured telephone advising calls to the patient and 4 to the significant other over the 12 months after the ED visit. Safety planning will be implemented universally to all suicidal patients, regardless of whether they are ultimately enrolled into the trial, as part of a comprehensive suicide management protocol (e.g., it is a systems-based change). However, for practical and budgetary considerations, the CLASP-ED telephone advising calls will be administered only to participants enrolled into the study. Our overarching hypotheses will be tested using a combination of the Screening Outcome component and the Intervention Evaluation Component. We predict that screening will improve detection of suicidal ideation, and the intervention will enhance the quality of care and reduce suicide outcomes.
