NCT04296890
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) in participants with platinum-resistant high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of Folate Receptor-Alpha (FRα). Participants will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. All participants will receive single-agent MIRV at 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight administered on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle.
NCT03902080
This study will assess the efficacy of vibegron compared with placebo in men with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms on pharmacological therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as defined by micturition and urgency episodes.
NCT04690504
Current methods for assessing circadian timing require sampling over hours (or even up to a day) while the patient is in controlled conditions. The investigators aim to develop a method that can estimate individual circadian time with a single blood sample taken at any time of the day or night. To do this, the investigators will use two state of the art methods, a plasma proteomics-based method to identify a panel of rhythmic proteins (extending our preliminary data) and a whole blood-derived monocyte-based method using a panel of 15 transcripts (to validate and extend a recent study). We will test both methods in a series of patients with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. We will validate separately the proteomics-based biomarker and the monocyte-based transcript biomarker, and also explore whether combining them can improve the accuracy of our timing estimates. In all cases, circadian phase estimates from the biomarker panels will be compared with those derived from plasma or saliva melatonin (the current "gold-standard" circadian phase marker).

NCT02395666
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new investigational drug to prevent reoccurrence of neuroblastoma that is in remission. This study drug is called DFMO. The objectives of this study will be to monitor for safety and look at efficacy of DFMO. The safety of the proposed dosing regimen in this trial will be tested by an on-going risk/benefit assessment during the study. A patient benefiting from treatment, not progressing on therapy, and in the absence of any safety issues associated with DFMO may continue on treatment up to 27 cycles with the expectation that there will be an overall clinical benefit. The procedures involved in this study include Medical history, Physical exam, Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature), Blood tests, Urine tests, MRI or CT scan of the tumor(s), meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scans, and Bone marrow aspirations. All of these tests and procedures are considered standard of care for this population. Drug administration is also part of this protocol, including an investigational new drug called DFMO. The proposed dosing regimen is an oral dose of DFMO tablets two times a day for each day while on study. There will be 27 cycles. Each cycle will be 28 days in length.

NCT03459482
This study is designed to evaluate the most applicable endpoints for evaluation of the Biomerica InFoods® IBS product.
NCT05579587
In this research study the investigators want to learn more about the effectiveness of an endoscopic procedure (an endoscope is a lighted tube that is placed down the participants esophagus, through the participants mouth) which uses a device that allows the doctor to repair or recreate the body's natural barrier to reflux. It uses preloaded forceps (tweezers) and fasteners and requires no incision to tighten the connection between the participants esophagus and stomach. This procedure is performed to aid in the treatment of symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (GERD) in patients with diagnosed Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). LPR is a condition resulting from backflow of stomach contents into the laryngopharynx (connection point in the participants throat through which food, water, and air pass) resulting in symptoms that can be referred to larynx/hypopharynx. The device the investigators will use to perform the transoral incisionless fundoplication procedure (TIF) is called the EsophyX device. The participants have been asked to participate because they have been diagnosed with LPR and have either failed medical therapy (taking prescription proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to reduce stomach acid production or do not want to be on long-term medical treatment.
NCT03451162
This first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of DHES0815A as a single agent in participants with advanced and/or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer for whom established treatment has proven ineffective or intolerable or is unavailable. The study may include a dose-expansion cohort (based on an ongoing assessment of the totality of data obtained in this study) to further assess safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary anti-tumor activity.
NCT03786224
This study is a critically important first-of-its-kind investigation of the potential research utility of using contingency management to examine long-term changes in cannabis use with six months of abstinence. These pilot data will inform a later trial which will focus on testing the longitudinal relationships between adolescent cognition and cannabis use, questions of high and growing public health significance given adolescents' increased access to cannabis with legalization.
NCT01183949
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AT7519M alone or AT7519M plus bortezomib are effective treatments in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma.
NCT01422148
. New- onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and its occurrence increases with age. POAF can result in clinically significant morbidity and mortality. The national trend in the US is that the population older than 65 years is increasing, making healthcare expenditure related to POAF to be a major burden on health care system. Effective treatment of POAF is imperative in ensuring quality of care and reduction of costs. In 2021 there is a projected total of 377,763 cardiovascular surgeries in the US alone with approximately half of which will have POAF with longer postoperative length of stay (+3.9 days) and higher discharge costs (+$13,993) than no-POAF patients (Reference: Ann Thorac Surg. 2015 Jan;99(1):109-14). Amiodarone, the currently used therapy, is often insufficient to prevent POAF and has multiple side-effects. In this study, we expect to improve the incidence of POAF by using a common acne drug (Minocycline) that is safe and that could be incorporated in clinical care of this disease.
NCT00791934
Study Design: A non-randomized, multi-center, prospective, clinical study intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treating the ethmoid sinuses with the Ethmoid Sinus Spacer and Access System used for the local delivery of Triamcinolone Acetonide, over a period of 28 days.
NCT05292170
Women are often understudied in thermal physiology research, leaving recommendations for Soldier safety and performance in hot conditions based largely on data collected in men. Female sex hormones estradiol and progesterone clearly have non-reproductive physiological effects, including influences on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function. However, mechanisms of differing physiological adaptations to repeated heat exposure (i.e., heat acclimation) as a function of reproductive hormone status have yet to be investigated in a systematic way. Understanding possible sex differences in adaptation or mechanisms for adaptation during heat acclimation is important to ultimately optimize interventions to maximize soldier health and safety during training and deployment in the heat. Our goals in the present study are to evaluate physiological and biophysical responses to a standard heat acclimation protocol in a group of young, healthy men and women. Thirty individuals (n=10 males, n=10 women with a low hormonal status (i.e. early follicular phase), n=10 women with a high hormonal status (i.e. midluteal phase)) will complete 10 consecutive days of exercise (treadmill walking: 3.1 mph/2% grade) in the heat (40°C /40% relative humidity) up to 3hr per day. Changes in core temperature, heart rate, and sex hormones will be assessed to examine differences in thermoregulatory response to heat acclimation.
NCT01712217

NCT04152863
This is a Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of gebasaxturev administered both intratumorally (ITu) and intravenously (IV) as combination therapy with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus pembrolizumab alone in anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1)-treatment-naive participants with advanced/metastatic melanoma. The primary hypothesis of the study is that gebasaxturev administered either ITu or IV in combination with pembrolizumab results in a superior objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) based on blinded independent central review (BICR), compared to pembrolizumab alone. This study will be terminated once all participants finish treatment with V937. Participants eligible to continue to receive pembrolizumab will be transferred to MK-3475-587 study.
