NCT02260752
The overall goal of this project is to better enable patients with uterine fibroids (UF) to make informed decisions about treatment options by leveraging the highest possible evidence of healthcare quality. The foundation of this project will be a multi-site, prospective registry of a diverse group of women who have undergone either medical or surgical treatment for UF. Specifically, the investigators are interested in: comparing management options for symptom relief; comparing management options for preserving reproductive function; and comparing effectiveness among different subpopulations, including consideration of patient needs and preferences of treatment options.
NCT03081559
Transgender women (assigned 'male' at birth but who do not identify as male) are disproportionately impacted by HIV and have culturally unique barriers and facilitators to engagement in HIV care. Transgender women living with HIV (TWH) are less likely than others to take antiretroviral therapy (ART), and those who initiate ART have lower rates of ART adherence, lower self-efficacy for integrating ART into daily routines, and report fewer positive interactions with health care providers than non-transgender adults. As a result, TWH have an almost three-fold higher viral load than non-transgender adults in San Francisco; in Los Angeles, TWH are less likely to be virally suppressed than any other behavioral risk group. In formative work, the investigators have identified culturally-specific and modifiable barriers to HIV treatment engagement among TWH, including prioritization of transition-related health care (i.e. hormone therapy) at the expense of HIV treatment, avoidance of HIV care settings due to past negative health care experiences, misinformation about ART including potential drug interactions with hormones, intensified HIV stigma, low levels of social support, and poor coping skills. There are both individual and public health consequences to poor engagement in care among TWH stemming from high transmission risk factors, including substance abuse, high numbers of sex partners, engagement in sex work, and high rates of mental illness. These findings strongly suggest that TWH face unique challenges to engaging in and adhering to HIV treatment, and that the public health consequences for poor engagement in this population are of grave concern. Interventions to mitigate these barriers to engagement in care are critical in efforts to alter the pattern of HIV-related disparities that lead to disproportionately poor health outcomes for this highly vulnerable and marginalized population. The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial of a theory-driven, population-specific, piloted intervention to improve engagement in care for TWH. Grounded in the investigators' Models of Gender Affirmation and Health Care Empowerment, the proposed research is the first to systematically intervene on complex barriers to optimal engagement in HIV care for TWH. The investigators have developed and piloted the Healthy Divas intervention to optimize engagement in HIV care for TWH at elevated risk for treatment failure and consequential morbidity, mortality, and transmission of HIV.
NCT01162239
The research is based on a chronic disorder model of cigarette smoking which suggests that long-term treatment targeted to prevent relapse may be useful. Based on this model, the investigators have developed a relapse prevention treatment to intervene on five areas important in relapse prevention, including fluctuating motivation, depression, withdrawal, weight gain, and social support. This treatment protocol has produced high long-term abstinence rates when implemented in a clinical research setting. The current study will evaluate the treatment model when implemented in a medical outpatient setting.
NCT04368767
Late preterm infants are at risk of experiencing inadequate glycogen stores with immature glucose metabolism and increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) degradation, which indicates cellular increased and stress. Processes mediating infant acute/chronic stress symptoms and their biochemical effects have not been adequately investigated. Skin-to-skin contact (SSC), also known as Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), is as an intervention that activates mechanisms of energy preservation that decrease stress in preterm infants. SSC has been shown in numerous clinical trials to reduce mortality and morbidity by stabilization of breathing, thermal regulation, oxygen saturation, and heart rate. SSC also reduces behavioral distress during painful and stressful procedures and improves breast-feeding parent bonding. However, little is known about how SSC affects biomarkers of stress and energy expenditure in late preterm infants in the first week of life. The aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to evaluate changes in biomarkers of stress, stress modulation and energy expenditure in late preterm infants who receive two hours of continuous SSC care or two hours of lying undisturbed in an incubator administered daily for 3 consecutive days in the first week of life, and to provide preliminary data for future research comparing the effects of usual incubator care with prolonged SSC on stress biomarkers in preterm infants.
NCT01158950
In this study, we seek to understand the effects of tolcapone, an FDA-approved COMT inhibitor, on reward choice and response inhibition, two measures we have previously shown to be altered in subjects with alcoholism. We now plan to test the hypothesis that COMT regulation of cortical dopamine levels is critical for regulation financial choices. Specifically, we propose that the lower levels of cortical dopamine present in individuals with the val158val COMT genotype reduces the inhibitory effect of frontal cortical areas on impulsive choice; an idea that extends previous hypotheses about the negative consequences of decreased prefrontal dopamine levels on inhibitory control. Moreover, this hypothesis suggests that inhibiting COMT may slow the degradation of dopamine and thereby decrease impulsivity.
NCT00471497
In this study, the efficacy and safety of two nilotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, were compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). An extension protocol was included in this study design to allow patients who did not show sufficient response to their assigned treatments the opportunity to receive imatinib 400 mg BID (option available until protocol amendment 7) or nilotinib 400 mg BID, using an abbreviated safety and efficacy assessment schedule.

NCT02580552
Objectives of this clinical trial are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and potential efficacy of the investigational drug, cobomarsen (MRG-106), in patients diagnosed with certain lymphomas and leukemias, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) \[mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype\], chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) \[activated B-cell (ABC) subtype\], and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Cobomarsen is an inhibitor of a molecule called miR-155 that is found at high levels in these types of cancers and may be important in promoting the growth and survival of the cancer cells. Participants in the clinical trial will receive weekly doses of cobomarsen administered by injection under the skin or into a vein, or by injection directly into cancerous lesions in the skin (for CTCL only). Blood samples will be collected to measure how cobomarsen is processed by the body, and other measurements will be performed to study how normal and cancerous cells of the immune system respond when exposed to cobomarsen.

Participants with the following relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies will be enrolled into the study: relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), or non-FL indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL; including lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma/ Waldenström macroglobulinemia \[LPL/WM\], small lymphocytic lymphoma \[SLL\], or marginal zone lymphoma \[MZL\]).
NCT01036529
The EVIDENCE trial is a randomized controlled trial comparing the therapeutic effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Precision® Spinal Cord Stimulation with that of reoperation as a treatment of pain in patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). FBSS is defined as persistent or recurrent pain following one or more lumbosacral spine surgical procedures. Surgical procedures that can result in FBSS can be categorized as either decompression or decompression followed by fusion with or without instrumentation. The pain of FBSS is categorized as neuropathic, which involves pathological nerve activity and is commonly characterized by patients as shooting or burning and/or nociceptive, which signals actual or impending tissue damage or inflammation.
NCT03837457
The main objective of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy and safety of cobomarsen (also known as MRG-106) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype in subjects who have confirmed disease progression following treatment with vorinostat in the SOLAR clinical study (MRG106-11-201). Cobomarsen is designed to inhibit the activity of a molecule called miR-155 that may be important to the growth and survival of MF cancer cells. The effects of treatment will be measured based on changes in skin lesion severity, disease-associated symptoms, and quality of life, as well as the length of time that the subject's disease remains stable or improved, without evidence of disease progression. The safety and tolerability of cobomarsen will be assessed based on the frequency and severity of observed side effects.
