NCT03505021
This study will evaluate whether prolonged oral levosimendan can preserve respiratory function more effectively than placebo, resulting in better patient functionality as measured by the ALSFRS-R scale. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study, subjects are allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either levosimendan (1 -2 mg daily) or placebo for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint is slow vital capacity (SVC) at 12 weeks, with the impact on patient function assessed through 48 weeks, adjusted for patient outcome, using ALSFRS-R (combined assessment of function and survival, CAFS). Other important efficacy measures include time to respiratory events, clinical global impression (CGI), assessment of dyspnea using the Borg scale and sleep scales (Pittsburgh sleep quality index and Epworth sleepiness scale). Patient safety is monitored using conventional methods including adverse events, safety laboratory tests, vital signs and 12-lead EKG. Following screening and baseline visits, patients attend the clinic at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks, with telephone assessments conducted at weeks 18, 30 and 42. An end of study visit is performed 14-25 days after the last study treatment administration. The study will be monitored by an independent data and safety monitoring board. A long-term extension study will be available for patients completing the study.
NCT04586179
Primary Aim: Compare physiological (e.g., heart rate) and clinical responses (e.g., symptom provocation) of adolescent and adult athletes (14-35 years of age) completing either a structured treadmill running or a dynamic aerobic exertion protocol during the subacute phase of sport-related concussion recovery (3-30 days after injury). Secondary Aim: Examine potential effects of clinically-relevant factors that influence symptom responses to controlled aerobic exertion, such as age, physical activity patterns, motion sensitivities, psychological responses to injury, and sleep quality, among subjects completing controlled aerobic and dynamic exertion following sport-related concussion
NCT02034396
Currently, there is no standard approach for the treatment of patients with venous stasis ulcers, and no means of accounting for the genetic factors that may contribute to a patient's response to different therapeutic interventions. In order to determine whether, or to what extent, genetic profiling of venous stasis ulcers can stratify patients according to their potential for disease progression or healing, and guide preventive strategies and levels of therapeutic interventions, the study will involve retrospective genetic profiling of patients with a healed or persistent venous stasis ulcer as a means of determining the efficacy of current therapies, and to establish a future prospective evaluation of treatment algorithms based on genetic phenotype and variation. Results obtained from the 2 aforementioned groups of participants will be compared with those of a control group of participants who have no history of venous ulcer nor peripheral vascular disease. .
NCT01816139
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of WC3011 with placebo vaginal gel in postmenopausal women for the relief of vaginal dryness caused by vaginal atrophy as measured by self-assessment, vaginal pH and vaginal smear.
NCT03603496
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of two models of post-discharge tobacco cessation treatment for adult smokers admitted to 3 U.S. hospitals.
NCT03937882
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of RGN-259 Ophthalmic Solution to placebo for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye.
NCT03721705
A Randomized Pivotal Study of RenewTM NCP-5 for the Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type is a pivotal, single blind, parallel design, multi-site study intends to examine the efficacy and safety of RenewTM NCP-5 therapy in the treatment of Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type. Subjects will be prospectively randomized to treatment or sham (in a 1:1 ratio) using stratification for Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type, and Cardiovascular Risk (CVR) score at multiple sites. Subjects, ages 55-85, will be consented for 13 months and will receive thirty-five 60-minute RenewTM NCP-5 treatment sessions during a 7-to-12-week initial treatment period, and then transition to a lower frequency maintenance period (twice a week) for a total treatment period of 24 weeks.
NCT03713957
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential effects on cognition of GRF6021, a plasma-derived product, administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion, to subjects with Parkinson's disease and cognitive impairment.
NCT04640792
ME-APDS is a device (software-based with hardware) developed by Magentiq Eye LTD and intended to support the decision of the endoscopist on polyps which appear in the colonoscopy video during the colonoscopy procedure. This randomized two arm colonoscopy trial will mainly compare APC and APE between Magentiq Eye Assisted Colonoscopy (MEAC) and Conventional Colonoscopy (CC) in patients referred for either screening or surveillance colonoscopies.
NCT02659020
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two anti-cancer drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) with and without the study drug known as olaratumab in participants with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) or STS that has spread to another part(s) of the body.
NCT03315182
Open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial of rAAV9.CMV.hNAGLU injected intravenously through a peripheral limb vein
NCT04451330
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that daily use of topical trifarotene (CD5789) 50 microgram per gram (mcg/g) cream when used in association with oral antibiotic is safe and effective for the treatment of severe AV.
NCT01129687
The investigators study is to investigate safety and efficacy of performing a planned incomplete removal of large acoustic neuroma tumors to decrease surgical morbidity and yet avoid tumor recurrence by post-operative radiation therapy.

NCT02371369
This is a Phase 3 clinical study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug called pexidartinib for the treatment of certain tumors for which surgical removal could cause more harm than good. The main purpose of this study is to gather information about the investigational drug pexidartinib, which may help to treat tumors of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) or giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS). The study consists of two parts with a follow-up period. In Part 1, eligible study participants will be assigned to receive either pexidartinib or matching placebo for 24 weeks. A number of assessments will be carried out during the course of the study, including physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies, electrocardiograms, and questionnaires. MRI scans will be used to evaluate the response of the tumors to the treatment. Some subjects, assigned to placebo in Part 1 transitioned to pexidartinib for Part 2. Then a protocol amendment was written to allow only pexidartinib patients to continue into Part 2. Part 2 is a long-term treatment phase in which all participants receive open-label pexidartinib. There was also a follow-up period added to Part 2.
