The purpose of this study is to assess whether glycemic control (assessed with HbA1c measurement) in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes can be improved with a point-of-care measurement of HbA1c in the ophthalmologist's office combined with a personalized risk assessment for diabetic retinopathy and other complications of diabetes.
NCT00367133
The study involves the enrollment of patients over 18 years of age with diabetic macular edema(DME). Patients with one study eye will be randomly assigned (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser) with equal probability to one of the three treatment groups: 1. Laser photocoagulation 2. 1mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection 3. 4mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection For patients with two study eyes (both eyes eligible at the time of randomization), the right eye (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser) will be randomly assigned with equal probabilities to one of the three treatment groups listed above. The left eye will be assigned to the alternative treatment (laser or triamcinolone). If the left eye is assigned to triamcinolone, then the dose (1mg or 4 mg) will be randomly assigned to the left eye with equal probability (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser). The study drug, triamcinolone acetonide, has been manufactured as a sterile intravitreal injectable by Allergan. Study eyes assigned to an intravitreal triamcinolone injection will receive a dose of either 1mg or 4mg. There is no indication of which treatment regimen will be better. Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for three years and will have study visits every 4 months after receiving their assigned study treatment. In addition, standard of care post-treatment visits will be performed at 4 weeks after each intravitreal injection.
NCT00449683
The study consists of measurement of antidepressant-induced excessive sweating and its treatment with an experimental medication, terazosin (approved for hypertension), that will be added to the antidepressant. This study is for people who take an antidepressant due to a depressive disorder. This is an open-label study (no placebo group) that will last 5 weeks, with one week of baseline measurement and four weeks of treatment with the study medication. The study is based on the hypothesis that terazosin will be effective in reducing the severity of excessive sweating caused by antidepressant treatment, and will have minimal side-effects.
NCT01282957
The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of financial incentives on the use of home health monitoring devices among high-risk patients. In addition, there are three secondary objectives: (1) obtain preliminary evidence regarding whether the monetary value of incentives has a differential effect on the use of home health monitoring devices; (2) identify potential barriers that prohibit regular use of home-based health devices using qualitative data; and (3) assess the usability of a newly developed web portal and its feasibility for future randomized clinical trials aimed at changing health-related behaviors.
NCT01692574
To determine whether individuals who suffer from depression and obesity are able to lose weight and show improvements in mood and cardiovascular disease risk factors following 20 weeks of a combined treatment of cognitive-behavior therapy for depression and behavior modification for weight loss. Participants will be assigned to one of three treatments: 1) cognitive-behavior therapy for the treatment of depression combined with an alternative approach to weight loss, 2) a weight loss intervention combined with a depression support and education , or 3) cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression combined with a weight loss intervention.
NCT00000384
The purpose of this study is to compare 3 treatments for children with OCD: medication (sertraline, SER) alone vs OCD-specific therapy (Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT) vs medication plus therapy. Some patients will receive an inactive placebo (PBO) instead of medication and/or Educational Support (ES, non-psychological treatment) instead of therapy. One in 200 children suffer from OCD, but few receive appropriate treatment. Both CBT and medication seem to be effective, but their effectiveness, alone and in combination, has not been evaluated. There are 2 phases to this trial. In Phase I the child will receive 1 of the following 6 treatments for 12 weeks: 1) SER alone; 2) pill PBO alone; 3) CBT alone; 4) SER plus CBT; 5) SER plus ES; 6) pill PBO plus ES. If the child responds to treatment, he/she will go on to Phase II in which the treatment will be slowly reduced, then stopped (discontinued), over time to test the treatment's durability. The child will be evaluated at Weeks 1, 4, 8, 12 (Phase I treatment), and Weeks 16, 20, 24, and 28 (Phase II discontinuation) to see how effective and durable the treatment is in treating your child's OCD. A child may be eligible for this study if he/she: Has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is 8 - 16 years old.
NCT01810523
Study will test the use of narratives on patient satisfaction and translation of an evidence-based approach to the use of X-rays for leg injuries in the Emergency Department (ED). The investigators will identify patients with foot, ankle, or knee injuries for whom X-rays are determined to not be needed. On discharge, patients will receive the current fact-based sheet or that plus a narrative explaining the work-up and treatment of these injuries. Outcomes will be assessed by a survey measuring patient satisfaction and understanding.
NCT01299623
We will develop and evaluate a community-based approach for disseminating comparative effective reviews (CERs) about breast cancer prevention to African American women. The specific aims of our research, as shown below, will target this population because of persistent disparities in breast cancer morbidity and mortality among this population. Our primary aims are: 1. To evaluate uptake of a community-based strategy for disseminating CERs about breast cancer prevention to African American women based on sociodemographic characteristics, beliefs about medical research, and medical history. We predict that participation in a community forum will be higher among women with greater socioeconomic resources, those who have a family history of breast cancer, and women who have more positive beliefs about research. 2. To evaluate the impact of evidential versus non-evidential content about breast cancer prevention on psychological and behavioral outcomes that include: knowledge of breast cancer risk factors and prevention strategies, communication with individuals in their social and medical network, and distrust of medical research. We predict that women who receive evidential content that is specific for African American women will report greater knowledge about breast cancer risk factors and prevention strategies, will be more likely to discuss breast cancer prevention strategies with individuals in their social and medical network, and will report greater reductions in distrust of medical research compared to those who receive non-evidential content.
NCT01575561
This is an open-label, multi-center,12 week extension study designed to evaluate the longer term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of lurasidone, flexibly dosed, adjunctive to lithium or divalproex for the treatment of subjects with bipolar I disorder, who have either completed the core study D1050296 or experienced a protocol defined recurrence of a mood event in the double-blind phase of the core study D1050296
NCT02647086
This is an open-label, single-sequence DDI study designed to examine the effects of dupilumab on the pharmacokinetics of selected cytochrome P450 substrates in adult patients with moderate to severe AD. The study consists of a screening period (day -35 to -2), study period 1 (day -1 to 7), study period 2 (day 8 to 50), and a follow-up period (day 51 to 135 \[end of study\]). Following completion of study period 2 (Day 50), patients will be given the option to enroll into the Open-Label Extension (OLE) study R668-AD-1225. Patients who decline will be followed for the next 12 weeks (Day 135).
NCT01033734
This open-label study will assess the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and safety of intravenous (iv) Tamiflu (oseltamivir) in 3 cohorts of children, aged 6-12, 3-5 and 1-2 years, with influenza infection. Patients will receive iv Tamiflu therapy for 5 days (10 doses). For patients whose conditions no longer merit continued iv dosing, therapy may be switched to oral Tamiflu to complete their prescribed course of treatment. If medically necessary, iv or oral therapy with Tamiflu may be continued for up to 5 additional days. Anticipated time on study treatment is 5 to 10 days.
NCT01029730
The goal of this multi-center Phase II study is to add bortezomib to the highly active regimen of bendamustine and rituximab. In this study, bortezomib will be administered on a weekly schedule (Days 1, 8, 15) and will be added to bendamustine/rituximab given in 4-week cycles. This combination uses the standard bendamustine dosing schedule, and is more convenient than the 5-week regimen of these 3 drugs currently being studied.
