NCT04302896
This is a single-center, open label study to identify adherence levels of commonly prescribed FDA-approved antiretroviral agents by tracking the decline of drug concentrations in plasma, urine and saliva following abrupt drug cessation in HIV-negative adults. Results from this study may provide support for development of a point of care urine testing device to monitor drug adherence.
NCT02709317
Veterans who are taking prescription opioids for chronic pain and are engaging in risky drinking are at heightened risk for drug interactions, including overdose and other negative effects, particularly if they are also using benzodiazepines. The investigators propose to test a prevention intervention, designed to reduce rates of risky drinking in veterans receiving prescription opioids to treat their chronic pain. This adaptive, patient-centered intervention provides clinical assessment, brief intervention, monitoring, and extended prevention services delivered through a combination of clinical visits, telephone calls, and text messages. The investigators propose to conduct a study in which veterans (N=300) who are on daily doses of prescription opioids will be randomized to receive 12 months of an adaptive prevention intervention (PI) or to standard care (SC), which consists of a Brief Intervention (BI) with 2 follow-up contacts. Potential participants will be veterans at the Philadelphia VA, and surrounding areas, or the Pittsburgh VA who, based on pharmacy records, are using opioids daily to treat chronic pain. An initial evaluation will identify individuals who also engage in risky alcohol use based on NIAAA-recommended guidelines and meet other inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the study. The evaluation will also identify the use of other medications (e.g., benzodiazepines) that could interact negatively with opioid use. For veterans randomized to the PI condition, a BI is first provided to reduce alcohol to non-hazardous levels and the effects are monitored for one month. Veterans who reduce alcohol use to non-hazardous levels during this one-month period continue in a monitoring track, consisting of tailored text messages and brief monthly telephone contacts. Veterans who continue to drink at risky levels are instead placed in a track that provides tailored text messages and more frequent telephone calls. In addition to monitoring, these calls provide further prevention/BI services to help the veteran reduce alcohol use to non-hazardous levels. Key components of these services are motivational enhancement and development of more effective ways to cope with stress and other triggers for risky alcohol use. All participants will be followed up at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months after baseline. The primary outcome at each follow-up point will be a dichotomous measure of any risky drinking since the prior follow-up (yes/no). Secondary outcomes will include self-reported frequency of heavy drinking, biological measures of alcohol use, other drug use as determined by urine toxicology tests, opioid overdoses, and ratings of depression and pain. Repeated measures analyses will compare the PI and SC conditions on primary and secondary outcomes assessed across an 18-month follow-up. Analyses will also test hypothesized moderation and mediation effects.
NCT02953340

NCT00393068

NCT01693692

NCT02227862

NCT03679884

NCT03151304
This is a Phase 2, two-stage study of the safety and efficacy of pracinostat in combination with azacitidine in patients with IPSS-R high and very high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are previously untreated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Enrollment in this study will be limited to high/very high risk MDS because this group represents the highest unmet need, with median survival of less than 18 months. Stage 1a will be conducted as an open-label single arm in up to 40 subjects to assess if this regimen with a lower pracinostat dose results in a discontinuation rate that meets a predefined threshold and in efficacy that justifies expansion of enrollment into Stage 1b. A discontinuation rate of approximately ≤10% in Stage 1a, a rate comparable to that observed with azacitidine alone in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703), supports expansion into Stage 1b. Stage 1b will be conducted as expansion of stage 1a. Approximately 20 additional subjects will be enrolled. Study drugs should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. It is important to note that the median time to achieving a response with azacitidine alone is 4 to 5 months. Furthermore, the median time to achieving a Complete Response (CR) in study MEI-003 (NCT01873703) was 4 cycles. Therefore, early (\<6 months) discontinuation of trial therapy for 'no response' should be avoided. The Medical Monitor should be contacted prior to discontinuing a subject from the study to discuss the rationale for discontinuation.
NCT02851407
This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of defibrotide prophylaxis in addition to best supportive care versus best supportive care alone in the prevention of hepatic veno- occlusive disease (VOD) in adult and pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant who are at high risk or very high risk of developing VOD.
NCT01931852

NCT04348656
There is currently no treatment available for COVID-19, the acute respiratory illness caused by the novel SAR-CoV-2. Convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 that contains antibodies to the virus is a potential therapy. On March 25th, 2020, the FDA approved the use of convalescent plasma under the emergency investigational new drug (eIND) category. Randomized trials are needed to determine the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for acute COVID-19 infection. The objective of the CONCOR-1 trial is to determine the efficacy of transfusion of COVID-19 convalescent plasma to adult patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 infection at decreasing the frequency of in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. It is hypothesized that treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma early in their clinical course will reduce the risk of death, and that other outcomes will be improved including risk of intubation, and length of ICU and hospital stay. This pan-Canadian clinical trial has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden on health care resources including reducing the need for ICU beds and ventilators.

NCT04330131
The TMW Center is launching a community-wide demonstration project in partnership with the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County, Florida, in which the TMW interventions will be delivered at scale through partners who work with families across health, education, and social service systems. The goal of this partnership is to reach 60% of all families with children age birth through three with at least one TMW intervention over the five-year partnership, with a significant percentage of families receiving more than one intervention. The TMW Center will evaluate the efficacy of the multiple intervention approach in impacting parent knowledge, beliefs, and behavior and child developmental outcomes, and develop an implementation model that can be used in other communities.
