NCT00381992
International studies have repeatedly documented a substantial prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and high rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) ranging from 5%-56% amongst long-distance truck drivers ("truckers") living in diverse international settings including India, Bangladesh, South Africa, China, Laos and Thailand. The prevalence of sexual risk factors and STI/HIV in US drivers is unknown. This proposal will provide both qualitative and quantitative data on HIV risk behaviors by interviewing and testing truckers working for established long-distance trucking firms, the sector which accounts for most of the jobs in the trucking and warehousing industry in the United States. The data obtained from this study will be used to inform the development of an HIV prevention intervention for long-haul truck drivers.
NCT02999906
This is a multicenter, randomized (2:1 oral treprostinil: placebo), double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) who are currently receiving background dual therapy (ambrisentan, tadalafil) for at least 30 days at randomization for their PAH. Once randomized, subjects will return for 5 study visits up to Week 28 during the blinded period. After the Week 28 Visit, eligible subjects will transition to the open-label period of the study for up to 20 weeks.
NCT01033513
Many older people experience hyperlipidemia and hypertension, but, to date, there is little information regarding whether or not medical nutrition therapy (MNT) or therapeutic meals have an independent or joint beneficial impact on older people with these diagnoses. This report describes a clinical trial in which the investigators directly examined these issues. Two key clinical outcome measures include changes in diastolic blood pressure and total fasting serum cholesterol. In addition to these clinical outcome measures the investigators collected health related quality of life data and data that permitted cost-effectiveness analyses. The investigators hypothesized that MNT and therapeutic meals would each lead to lower total fasting serum cholesterol and lower diastolic blood pressure after the 52-week trial, in comparison to individuals who received standard support (commonly available literature on how to manage their disease). The investigators also hypothesized that MNT plus therapeutic meals would be especially beneficial because of their synergistic effects on the clinical outcomes. Although the investigators established no specific hypotheses regarding the potential impact of MNT or therapeutic meals on cost of care and quality adjusted life years, the investigators were interested in whether MNT or therapeutic meals would be associated with these two measures.
