NCT04366687
The purpose of the proposed study is to assess the effectiveness of the addition of a single-session child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention module (Smart Parents - Safe and Healthy Kids) on improving parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding CSA prevention for parents already receiving parent-education services. The investigators hypothesize that parents who receive the parenting curriculum and the CSA prevention module will (a) demonstrate significant improvement in CSA-related awareness (i.e., knowledge, attitudes) and protective behaviors from pre-test to post-test, and (b) demonstrate higher scores on CSA-related awareness and protective behaviors as compared to parents who only receive the parenting curriculum.
NCT02140580
Trial question: Does administration of exogenous surfactant using a minimally-invasive technique improve outcome in preterm infants 25-28 weeks gestation treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)? Trial hypothesis: That early surfactant administration via a minimally-invasive technique to preterm infants on CPAP will result in a lesser duration of mechanical respiratory support, and a higher incidence of survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Trial design: Multicentre, randomised, masked, controlled trial in inborn preterm infants 25-28 weeks gestation, aged less than 6 hours, requiring CPAP because of respiratory distress, with an FiO2 of \>=0.3 and CPAP pressure 5-8. Infants randomised to surfactant treatment receive 200 mg/kg of poractant alfa (Curosurf) administered under direct laryngoscopy using a surfactant instillation catheter, followed by reinstitution of CPAP. Controls continue on CPAP. The intervention is masked from the clinical team. Care thereafter is as per usual in both groups, other than the requirement to adhere to intubation criteria. The primary outcome is incidence of death or BPD. Secondary outcomes include incidence of death, major neonatal morbidities (BPD, intraventricular haemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotising enterocolitis), pneumothorax and patent ductus arteriosus; need for intubation and surfactant therapy; durations of mechanical respiratory support, intubation, CPAP, intubation and CPAP, high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), oxygen therapy, intensive care stay and hospitalisation; hospitalisation cost; applicability and safety of the MIST procedure; and outcome at 2 years. The sample size is 303/group, allowing detection of a 33% difference in the primary outcome with 90% power. The trial commenced at Royal Hobart Hospital December 2011 and Royal Women's Hospital during 2012, and will ultimately be conducted over 5 years in multiple centres internationally.

It is anticipated that 100 subjects will be enrolled to obtain approximately 90 evaluable subjects.
NCT02783651
A retrospective chart review study of Philadelphia chromosome-negative R/R ALL patients in the US.
NCT02596230
RE-COVERY is a large, multi-national, multi-center observational study based on new data collection. The study will enroll and characterize patients within 30 days of being diagnosed with an acute DVT and/or PE. The study has two main objectives. Objective 1 will characterize the DVT / PE patient population. All patients with a DVT and/or PE will be enrolled for cross-sectional characterization of the VTE patient population. Objective 2 will compare the safety and effectiveness of dabigatran etexilate regimens for treatment of VTE in comparison to VKA regimens. Patients treated with dabigatran etexilate or VKA will be followed up for the occurrence of outcome events for up to one year.
NCT00086658
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease with broad clinical signs and symptoms which is diagnosed based on a persistent blood eosinophil count of greater than 1500 cells, various end-organ damages (including skin, heart, lung, nervous system and digestive system etc.), and with exclusion of known secondary causes of hypereosinophilia. HES has a high morbidity/mortality rate. The major treatment of HES has been systemic corticosteroid and other chemotherapeutic drugs (for example, hydroxyurea and interferon) with the intention to lower eosinophil counts and therefore to slow down the progression of disease. Even though corticosteroid and other therapies can effectively reduce eosinophilia in some patients, some may eventually become nonresponsive and intolerable to the amount of side effects of the long-term therapy with these medications. Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to human interleukin 5 (hIL-5) and inhibits its activity. Previous human experience has shown it has been effective in reducing blood eosinophilia in atopic and HES patients and has alleviated some HES clinical signs and symptoms. This study intends to further evaluate the corticosteroid-sparing and clinical benefit of mepolizumab in HES.
NCT00904579
Background: * Solid organ transplantation provides life-saving treatment for end-stage organ disease but is associated with an increased cancer risk because of the need for long-term immunosuppression * End-stage renal disease (ESRD), the most common type of end-stage organ disease leading to transplant, is itself linked to increased risk for some cancers * The role of immunosuppression and other factors causing cancer in this setting are not fully understood. Objectives: * To characterize cancer risk in transplant recipients and identify risk factors. * To characterize risk for transmission of cancer from organ donors to recipients. * To describe cancer risk in ESRD. Eligibility: Patients are not required for this study. Data are gathered from existing databases of ESRD patients, organ transplant patients and cancer registries. Design: * Databases of 1) U.S. transplant recipients, donors and wait list candidates and 2) U.S. ESRD patients will be linked to multiple U.S. cancer registries to identify cancers in transplant recipients and ESRD patients. * The spectrum of cancer risk in transplant recipients and ESRD patients will be evaluated in detail. * The cancer risk in transplant recipients will be examined in relation to whether the donors had cancer. * The proposed cancer risk factors (e.g., underlying medical condition, infection with cancer-causing viruses, immunosuppressive medications) documented in transplant and ESRD files will be studied for association with increased risk of particular types of cancer.
