NCT06123481
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating musculoskeletal disease that is characterized by localized death of bone cells and associated cellular elements within the subchondral bone. If it progresses, it results in the collapse of the femoral head (ball part of the hip) giving rise to secondary arthritis. This condition is associated with marked pain and loss of function, often necessitating a joint replacement. Due to the relatively young age of onset of ONFH (often in 20s and 30s), there is great interest in utilizing joint-preserving procedures prior to the need for joint replacement. Joint-preserving procedures include core decompression (CD) with and without bone grafts or cells, vascularized and non-vascularized bone grafting, as well as osteotomies. Inconsistent results for each of these procedures have been reported and there are no Clinical Practice Guidelines or medical community consensus opinions regarding the treatment of early-stage ONFH. The hypothesis to be tested is "Participants who have early-stage ONFH undergoing CD augmented with autogenous bone marrow aspirate concentrate will have better clinical and radiological outcomes than CD alone." This multi-center randomized controlled trial for early-stage ONFH is prospective and controlled for participant stage (only early-stage pre-collapse individuals) and surgical technique. Participants will be evaluated as per routine surgical follow-up, and at 6 months (telemedicine), 1- and 2- years using radiographs, MRIs, and questionnaires. This project will also explore the scientific basis for success vs. failure in individuals who have osteonecrosis, and have different demographics and bone marrow aspirate cell profiles.
NCT03263117
Objectives: This study aims to estimate overall treatment benefit (improvement in disability) among acute ischemic stroke patients that are randomized to General Anesthesia (GA) compared with Sedation (CS) during endovascular therapy. Assess safety (as measured by incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage); rates of Endovascular therapy (EVT) procedural complications, reperfusion; and quality of life. Hypothesis: GA during EVT for acute ischemic stroke improves functional outcomes at 90 days compared to sedation.
NCT04401917
The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of inflammation in the brain between different groups of participants using a radioactive tracer called \[18F\]NOS. A radioactive tracer is a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body. This study will see how the tracer is taken up in the brain using an imaging scan called Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Participants will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic scanning of the brain starting at approximately the time of injection of \[18F\]NOS. Participants are required to have a brain MRI performed within 1 year prior to study enrollment, or if the subject has not had a brain MRI that is deemed acceptable for use for this study they will be asked to undergo a research brain MRI after they have consented for this study.
NCT05463029
Disorders of consciousness (DoC) remain a major clinical challenge in which high rates of misdiagnosis and difficult prognostication stem from limitations in the ability to access the disordered physiological processes mechanisms of coma in real world clinical settings. There is a great need to develop, validate, and translate to clinical use reliable diagnostics to detect brain recovery potential not evident on neurobehavioral assessment. While resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) has demonstrated potential to improve the diagnostic evaluation of DoC by detecting features of consciousness that are occult at bedside evaluation, this technology has yet to achieve widespread clinical utility. The investigators propose that recent advancements in rs-fMRI capabilities can be combined with streamlined analysis and interpretation approaches to overcome persistent intensive care unit to perform rs-fMRI in patients with prolonged impaired consciousness due to several causes including TBI, cardiac arrest, stroke, seizures, and severe CNS infection. The investigators will determine the optimal methods of data acquisition, analysis and interpretation for predicting recovery of consciousness in these patients. Our expectations are that this approach will produce highly reliable functional connectomic characterization of individual DoC patients, thereby allowing for more accurate outcome prediction. The investigators will additionally investigate the utility of a novel, simplified radiological approach to rs-fMRI data interpretation in comparison to computationally intensive connectomic approaches. This exploratory/developmental project is expected to provide critical data needed to design and appropriately power future R01 studies validating the efficacy of fMRI-based network integrity in the clinical evaluation of DoC.
NCT04942535
Higher levels of physical activity have been demonstrated to improve health across a wide range of contexts and reduce cognitive decline as adults become older, but more than half of all adults in the United States do not meet their physical activity goals. One type of physical activity that is broadly applicable to people of all ages is walking. This study will use a Hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation design to adapt and test the effectiveness of two successful social incentive-based interventions, a gamification strategy and financial incentives donated to charity on the participants behalf, to increase physical activity among low-income, mostly minority families in community settings.
NCT05514535
This study compares semaglutide, together with a lower dose of insulin glargine, to a higher dose of insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study looks at how well the study medicines control blood glucose levels. Participants will either get semaglutide together with a lower dose of insulin glargine or a higher dose of insulin glargine. The study will last for about 47 weeks (approximately 11 months). Participants will have 9 clinic visits, 15 phone/video calls and 1 home visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 2 periods of 10 days during the study.
NCT01081262
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin given together with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with oxaliplatin given together with capecitabine with or without bevacizumab as first-line therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV, or recurrent (has come back) stage I epithelial ovarian or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy given together with or without bevacizumab is more effective in treating epithelial ovarian cancer or fallopian tube cancer.
NCT06878976
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of solriamfetol in the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) in adults.
NCT05144984
This study is looking at semaglutide in combination with a potential new medicine (NNC0480-0389) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study is being conducted to see how well semaglutide, in combination with different doses of NNC0480-0389, work to lower blood sugar levels. Results from this study will be used to select the doses of the two medicines for other studies. Participants will either get: Semaglutide (a medicine doctors can already prescribe for treatment of type 2 diabetes) in combination with NNC0480-0389 (a potential new medicine) or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine that looks like the medicines but without any medicine). NNC0480-0389 alone, or semaglutide alone which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participant will need to take 2-3 injections once every week during the study. One injection will be with semaglutide or placebo and 1-2 injections will be with NNC0480-0389 or placebo. Participant must inject the study medicines themself into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. The study will last for about 41weeks. Participant will have 20 clinic visits. Participant will have blood samples taken at all clinic visits. At 3 clinic visits, participant will also have an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test to check participants heart. Participant will have their eyes checked before or at the start of the study and at the end of the study. Women can only take part in the study if they are not able to become pregnant
NCT05557409
This trial is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AXS-05 compared to placebo for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease.
NCT02921022
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of the study drug called PEGPH20. PEGPH20 alone is considered investigational. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the marketing or sale of PEGPH20, but have authorized its use in research studies with humans. PEGPH20 could shrink the cancer but it also can cause side effects. PEGPH20 is an enzyme that breaks down a specific tissue component called hyaluronan produced by some tumors. Pancreatic tumors often have a large amount of hyaluronan. The removal of hyaluronan from tumors may decrease tumor growth.
