NCT01004978
This randomized phase III trial studies chemoembolization and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared with chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, mitomycin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by carrying drugs directly into blood vessels near the tumor and then blocking the blood flow to allow a higher concentration of the drug to reach the tumor for a longer period of time. Kinase inhibitors, such as sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. It is not yet known whether giving chemoembolization together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer.
NCT03730259
The goal of this randomized trial is to examine the effectiveness of a tailored Internet-based Preparation Program (WebTIPS) in reducing anxiety and improving the recovery process in children undergoing surgery. Two hospitals and all parent-child dyads and healthcare providers (HCPs) will be randomized to either a Web-based Tailored Intervention Preparation for Surgery (WebTIPS) Group or to a Web-based Information (WebINFO) Group, the attention control group. The WebTIPS group will receive the newly developed intervention with short message service (SMS) two-way communication between an HCP and patient, while the WebINFO Group will only receive an internet and mobile platform with information on the management of preoperative anxiety and perioperative pain. The aims of this study are to: Primary aim: Quality of Clinical Care: Determine whether and to what extent WebTIPS is more effective than an attention control intervention in reducing preoperative anxiety among children ages 1-12 years old undergoing anesthesia and outpatient surgery. Secondary aims: Quality of Clinical Care: 1. Examine the impact of WebTIPS on Post-Anesthesia care unit based postoperative clinical recovery parameters, such as pain and emergence delirium. 2. Examine the impact of WebTIPS on home-based postoperative clinical recovery parameters such as pain, new onset behavioral changes and return to normal daily activity over 2 weeks. 3. Determine if the use of WebTIPS reduces parental preoperative anxiety. Experience of Care: Examine the effects of WebTIPS on parental satisfaction with the overall experience of the surgical episode. Cost of Care/Resource Use: Determine if WebTIPS modifies healthcare resource use, as measured by 30-day charges adjusted for Medicaid cost-to-charge ratios.
NCT03606486
The goal of this project is to develop a minimally invasive test to detect ovarian cancer, by searching for mutations from the tumor in samples obtained from the cervix (Pap smears), and from the uterus (uterine lavage) in participants with advanced ovarian cancer and in participants with increased risk of ovarian cancer due to inherited mutations, such as BRCA or BRCA2 (among others). Pap smear and uterine lavage samples will be collected while the participant is under anesthesia for planned debulking surgery. A novel, highly sensitive and accurate technique, Crispr-Duplex sequencing, will be used to detect tumor associated mutations in TP53 (the most commonly mutated gene in ovarian cancer) within these samples. These results will be compared to sequencing results in the tumor itself for comparison, and Pap and uterine lavage will be compared to each other to determine the optimal test. Ultimately, the goal is to use the results of this study to plan a larger study including women without cancer who are at either increased risk or normal risk of ovarian cancer, for use in early detection.
NCT05236712
This will be a pilot clinical trial to evaluate preliminary efficacy of a newly designed mobile intervention designed to support healthy eating in old people. The main scientific premise of this project is that mobile approaches are feasible for behavioral and metabolic improvements in the population of people 65+ with mild-to-moderate frailty. Specific Aim of this project is to describe feasibility, acceptability and initial efficacy of the newly designed mobile intervention in a pilot RCT. The pilot RCT, comparing usual care to usual care plus mobile intervention, will provide data on the sensitivity of outcome measures and estimated effect size to inform a larger RCT. Primary outcomes for the pilot RCT will include change in adherence to Mediterranean diet (MedD) score, change in insulin sensitivity measures, feasibility and acceptability. Secondary outcomes include MedD knowledge, self-efficacy, outcome expectation, self-regulation, social support, platform use and anthropometric and functional measures.
NCT03502577
This phase I trial determines the side effects and best dose of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells when combined with gamma-secretase inhibitor LY3039478 (JSMD194), cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine in treating participants with multiple myeloma that that has come back or remains despite treatment. Placing genes added in the laboratory into immune T-cells may make the T-cells recognize BCMA, a protein on the surface of cancer cells. JSMD194 may enhance the killing of cancer cells by increasing the BCMA expression on multiple myeloma cells, making the targeted BCMA CAR-T treatment more effective. JSMD194 also decreases the amount of BCMA found in the circulation (called soluble BCMA) that is not bound to the myeloma cells. JSMD194 can therefore reduce the potential for soluble BCMA to act as a decoy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving BCMA CAR T therapy with JSMD194, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine may work better in treating participants with relapsed or persistent multiple myeloma.

NCT04496219
This phase II trial studies the safety and feasibility of utilizing acupuncture in patients with high-risk bladder cancer that has not spread to the surrounding muscle (non-muscle invasive) undergoing treatment with Intravesical BCG. BCG is a weakened form of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis that does not cause disease. It is used in a solution to stimulate the immune system in the treatment of bladder cancer. Unfortunately, many patients experience side effects such as pelvic pain, painful urination, severe urgency, frequency, urge incontinence, need to urinate at night, and/or infectious complications. These side effects may cause patients to delay or stop BCG treatment. Acupuncture is a medical intervention in which fine metallic needles are inserted into anatomical locations of the body to stimulate the peripheral and the central nervous system. Giving acupuncture before each intravesical BCG treatment may help to reduce the side effects of intravesical BCG, and help patients complete treatment. Specific outcomes of interest include acceptability to patients, effect of acupuncture on intravesical BCG-related side effects, and adverse events associated with acupuncture.
NCT02008357
The purpose of this study is to test whether an investigational drug called solanezumab can slow the progression of memory problems associated with brain amyloid (protein that forms plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer Disease \[AD\]).
NCT00775463
This study will evaluate the effect of treprostinil diethanolamine (UT-15C) sustained release tablets(compared to placebo) on digital ulcers in patients with scleroderma. Treprostinil diethanolamine is an analog of prostacyclin. Prostacyclin is a naturally occuring substance produced by the cells of blood vessels that inhibits platelet aggregation, induces vasodilation, and suppresses smooth muscle proliferation. Improvement in blood flow in lower limbs and fingers would be anticipated to result in a reduction in ischemic pain, Raynaud's phenomenon and promote healing of digital ulcers and other ischemic wounds.
NCT04206605
The main aim of this study is to check if repeated subcutaneous (SC) injections of lanadelumab can prevent angioedema attacks in teenagers and adults with non-histaminergic angioedema with normal C1-INH. Another aim is to check if they tolerate the repeated SC injections. Participants will receive a SC injection of lanadelumab every two weeks for 26 weeks. The first two doses of lanadelumab will be given at the study clinic. Once a participant (and/or parent/caregiver) has been appropriately trained, lanadelumab can be self-injected. Visits to the study clinic are planned for the first, third and fourth week and then every 4 weeks.
