NCT05538065
Prescribing of potentially unsafe medications for older adults is extremely common; benzodiazepines and sedative hypnotics are, for example, key drug classes frequently implicated in adverse health consequences for vulnerable older adults, such as confusion or sedation, leading to hospitalizations, falls, and fractures. Fortunately, most of these consequences are preventable. Physicians' lack of awareness of alternatives, ambiguous practice guidelines, and perceived pressure from patients or caregivers are among the reasons why these drugs are used more than might be optimal. Reducing inappropriate use of these drugs may be achieved through decision support tools for providers that are embedded in electronic health record (EHR) systems. While EHR strategies are widely used to support the informational needs of providers, these tools have demonstrated only modest effectiveness at improving prescribing. The effectiveness of these tools could be enhanced by leveraging principles of behavioral economics and related sciences.
NCT06262282
About 10 people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and persistent Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) infection despite treatment will be screened to find out if their NTM infection has at least one mycobacteriophage that is effective in killing the mycobacteria. Individuals who are found to have at least one phage will be offered assistance in pursuing FDA approval for treatment via expanded-access Individual New Drug (IND) for compassionate-use. They will receive phage treatment for 1 year along with their guideline-based antibiotics for NTM. Individuals who are not identified as having a phage match will be followed as they continue to receive guideline based antibiotic therapy for 1 year. All subjects, including those who do not have a phage match will continue to be observed for the duration of the study, or about 1 year.

NCT05399888
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB080. The study will focus on participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if BIIB080 can slow the worsening of AD more than placebo. It will focus on what dose of BIIB080 slows worsening of AD the most. To help answer this question, researchers will use the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes, also known as the CDR-SB. * Clinicians use the CDR-SB to measure several categories of dementia symptoms. * The results for each category are added together for a total score. Lower scores are better. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB080. The study will be split into 2 parts. The 1st part is the Placebo-Controlled Period. The 2nd part is the Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period. The 2nd part of the study will help researchers learn about the long-term safety of BIIB080, and how it affects the participant's daily life, thinking, and memory abilities in the longer term. A description of how the study will be done is given below. * After screening, participants will first receive either a low dose or high dose of BIIB080, or a placebo, as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Participants will receive BIIB080 or placebo once every 12 weeks or 24 weeks. * After 76 weeks of treatment in the Placebo-Controlled Period, eligible participants will move onto the Extension Treatment period, which will last 96 weeks. * In the extension period, participants who received placebo will be switched to high dose BIIB080 every 12 or 24 weeks. * Participants may be in the study for up to 201 weeks, or about 4 years. This includes the screening and follow-up periods. * Participants can continue to take certain medications for AD. Participants must be on the same dose of medication for at least 8 weeks before the screening period. * After the screening period, most participants will visit the clinic every 6 weeks.
NCT04030962
This was a 2-stage study in which Stage 1 evaluated the safety of AGN-242428 and AGN-231868, how well they are tolerated, and how they move through the body when administered. After the sponsor's determination of adequate safety and tolerability of the interventions in Stage 1, Stage 2 began. Stage 2 also evaluated the safety and tolerability of AGN-242428 and AGN-231868, how effective they are in treating dry eye disease (DED), and assessed the plasma and tear exposure of both ophthalmic solutions.
NCT06174116
The main question this study is trying to answer is whether lumateperone, an FDA-approved antipsychotic drug, can help reduce possible side effects of clozapine, such as weight gain and elevated levels of sugar and bad cholesterol. Participants will be randomly assigned to either take lumateperone (Caplyta) or a placebo for 12 weeks, in addition to their regularly prescribed clozapine. During their participation, patients will answer questions about their psychiatric and daily functioning, have blood drawn, and have their body composition analyzed (similar to stepping on a scale).

NCT03742349
This is a Phase Ib, open label, dose escalation study of spartalizumab + LAG525 in combination with NIR178, capmatinib, MCS110, or canakinumab, followed by a dose expansion in adult patients with advanced or metastatic TNBC. During the dose-escalation part of each treatment arm, patients will be treated with fixed doses of spartalizumab + LAG525 in combination with partner investigational drugs to be escalated until the MTD is reached or a lower RDE is established: NIR178, capmatinib, MCS110, or canakinumab. It is anticipated that other partner study drugs may be added in the future by protocol amendment. After the determination of the MTD/RDE for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion may begin in that arm in order to further assess safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and anti-tumor activity of each combination at the MTD/RDE. Dose expansion arms may initiate only after consideration by the Investigators and Novartis of all available toxicity information, the assessment of risk to future patients from the BLRM, and the available PK, preliminary efficacy, and PD information. There is no requirement for dose-escalation treatment arms reaching an MTD/RDE to proceed to dose expansion.
NCT03261206
The purpose of this study is to assess whether withdrawal of aminosalicylate (5-ASA) is non-inferior to continuation of 5-ASA therapy in Crohn's disease (CD) subjects in remission.
NCT03710876
This study will evaluate intrapleural administration of Adenovirus-Delivered Interferon Alpha-2b (rAd-IFN) in combination with Celecoxib and Gemcitabine in patients with histologically confirmed Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) who have failed a minimum of 1 treatment regimen and a maximum of 2 treatment regimens, 1 of which must have been an anti-folate and platinum combination regimen. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to either: 1. Treatment group: rAd-IFN + Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine 2. Control group: Celecoxib followed by Gemcitabine Patients randomized to the treatment group will receive rAd-IFN administered into the pleural space via an Intrapleural catheter (IPC) or similar intrapleural device on study Day 1. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) associated with rAd IFN, when administered with celecoxib and gemcitabine, versus that associated with celecoxib and gemcitabine alone for the treatment of patients with MPM
