NCT00000815
To compare measles seroconversion rates (development of antibodies) at 13 months of age in HIV-infected and uninfected children on one of two immunization schedules: attenuated measles/mumps/rubella virus (M-M-R II) vaccine at 12 months versus attenuated measles vaccine (Attenuvax) at 6 months plus M-M-R II vaccine at 12 months. Recommendations for the age at vaccination should balance the need to minimize the risk of morbidity and mortality with the benefit of achieving the highest seroconversion rates. Immunizing a more intact immune system at an earlier stage of HIV infection may in turn achieve better and long-lasting measles protection. This study will help define a more effective measles vaccine regimen for children diagnosed with HIV infection and will provide greater insight into the functional status of the HIV-infected children's humoral immune system.
NCT02975336

NCT00124514
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of triptorelin when used for the protection of the ovaries (pair of female reproductive organs) during cyclophosphamide therapy for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; lupus) and to see what effects (good or bad) it has on patients. The study will be done with female patients who have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, are younger than 21 years of age, and require intravenous cyclophosphamide to control the disease. Each patient will be in the study for approximately 23 months, until 4 months after the intravenous cyclophosphamide treatment has been completed. This study is currently being conducted at 3 sites across the United States and Brazil (Los Angeles, Cincinnati and San Paulo Brazil). A total of 50 patients will participate in this study. Each patient will be randomized (assigned) to one of 5 groups. Randomization means that patients are put into a group completely by chance. It is like flipping a coin. Neither the patient nor the study staff knows what group the patient is in. The patient has a 20% chance of being placed in any group. This is a dose escalation study, each patient will receive the first dose of the study drug (T1 - T4, placebo). If a patient has complete ovarian suppression on day 27 after the initial injection of study drug, then she will remain on this weight-adjusted dose of study drug throughout the study. The dose will be increased up for a weight gain of 5kg or greater. The dose will not be adjusted downward for a weight loss. If COS was not maintained with the 1st dose of study drug, then the subsequently injected 2nd dose will be increased by 25% or at least 20 microgram/kg/dose. The maximal dose of 150 microgram/kg/dose will not be exceeded. The absolute maximum dose is 20 mg. Funding Source: FDA OOPD and Watson Pharmaceuticals
NCT01960465
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem in the U.S. and more than 35% of Veterans are at high risk for OSA. OSA is associated with progression of hypertension, an important health problem in Veterans. African Americans with OSA are at increased risk for poorly controlled hypertension and its health consequences. Implementing a care plan to increase the percentage of Veterans in whom blood pressure goals are achieved has been prioritized by Veterans Administration hospitals. Recent studies show that hypertension control can be improved with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment of OSA. The aim of this proposal is to examine and compare the effects of CPAP treatment on 24-hour arterial blood pressure and central aortic blood pressure (measured non-invasively with a cuff on the upper arm) in African American and other Veterans.

NCT00706511
The purpose of this study is to look at the metabolic (use of energy) and hormonal features of sleep problems in men and women.
NCT04702152
The context in which memories are encoded is a major factor influencing how memories are organized. Individual memories are bound to the context (e.g., the location, time and state of mind in which they are encoded) and this context is later reinstated to recall the details related to the memory. Although the role of context has been explored with regard to memory encoding and retrieval, its role during sleep-related memory consolidation has not been explored. Memories are thought to be reactivated during sleep, subsequently benefitting from the process. This study will use encephalography (EEG) in humans to consider several competing hypotheses regarding context's role in sleep reactivation, thereby enhancing the current understanding of how reactivation of memory over sleep relates to models of context and memory. Participants will learn to associate pictures of scenes to different sounds and to smaller images of items and animals, and then learn the spatial locations of these smaller images on a grid. Crucially, for half of these scenes, the sounds themselves will then also be linked directly to some of images during training. The associated sounds will then be unobtrusively presented during sleep, in a manner that has been shown to improve associated memories. The subsequent memory benefits will reveal whether (1) all images associated with the cued scene will benefit from cuing, demonstrating a context-reactivation effect; (2) only the images directly associated with presented sound will benefit from the cuing, demonstrating a item-reactivation effect; or (3) some composite of these two models. Regardless of which hypothesis is correct, the results will expand our current understanding regarding the role context plays in sleep consolidation.
NCT03371251
This study will be conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of repeat doses of BOS161721 (20 milligrams \[mg\], 60 mg, and 120 mg) administered subcutaneously in adult participants with moderately to severely active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) on limited background standard of care treatment, in order to estimate the optimal dose. BOS161721 at the chosen dose will be compared to placebo for response on the SLE Responder Index 4, with sustained reduction of oral corticosteroids, in the same participant population.

Participants will receive the treatment assigned to their group for 24 weeks: * Acthar Gel * Placebo Gel, which looks like Acthar Gel, but has no medicine in it. The doctor or his staff will take measurements and ask questions to: * see how well the gel is working * see how safe it is for patients with SLE
NCT04824989
Although early interventions can improve health equity in young children living in poverty, this promise often is not realized because of barriers to family engagement. The proposed study will target co-morbid behavior and sleep problems in early childhood, comparing child outcomes and family response to sleep and behavior interventions and investigating the novel strategy of letting families select their intervention.We will enroll 500 low-income toddlers with co-morbid sleep and behavior problems, randomized to 4 parent coaching interventions: sleep, behavior, family choice (sleep or behavior), and an active control. At baseline and at 1, 5, and 9 months post- intervention, we will assess child sleep and behavior and family functioning. We will measure family preference, engagement, and perceived value of each intervention. The goals of the study are: (1) to examine effects of evidence- based sleep and behavior interventions in young low-income children with co-morbid sleep and behavior problems on child sleep and behavior and family functioning; (2) to determine whether parents prefer, engage with, and value a sleep or behavior intervention more; and (3) to examine if giving families a choice of intervention results in higher engagement, higher perceived value and better family and child outcomes than assignment to intervention. By informing best practices for engaging low-income families to treat co-morbid sleep and behavior problems, results will be critical to reducing health disparities for children living in poverty.
