NCT03625999
Background: Previous research has shown that individuals with ASD often have difficulties coping with auditory stimuli in the environment. These difficulties can be extremely debilitating, lead to anxiety and disruptive behaviors, and interfere with the ability to process and understand speech. Research Design: In previous research, the investigators have identified a brain marker associated with poor auditory attention that can provide a direct readout of auditory processing issues. The investigators will develop and test a cognitive/behavioral intervention (a tablet-based game app) that is highly engaging and accessible to a wide range of individuals with ASD. The intervention is designed to train adolescents with ASD to adapt and attend to auditory cues. Objectives: To evaluate whether the intervention leads to improvement in auditory attention as assessed by behavior changes over the course of training; to investigate the impact of the intervention on behavioral assessment of problems hearing speech in noisy environments, neural processing of sounds, and changes in parent report on responses to sounds that impact that daily lives of the participants; and finally- to determine which adolescents with ASD benefit the most and least from interventions such as this one. We hypothesize that we can elicit changes in the neural processing of sounds for adolescents with ASD via training in the form of the tablet-based game we are developing. If we are successful, this could lead to other interventions for persons with ASD in the hopes of improving the auditory difficulties they face.
NCT03292406
To assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics in participants treated with CD11301 gel vs. placebo for early stage CTCL (IA, IB, or IIA).
NCT03130543
Infants often present to the hospital with episodes of coughing, choking, gagging, change in muscle tone, and/or change in skin color, known as brief resolved unexplained event. Many studies have tried to address why infants have these symptoms and if there is a way to prevent them from happening again. Currently, there is no clear agreement on the most common cause of these symptoms or how to prevent them. Some studies have suggested that gastroesophageal reflux can cause these symptoms. The investigators are conducting a study of infants who are admitted to Boston Children's Hospital with episodes of coughing, choking, gagging, change in muscle tone, and/or change in skin color, symptoms that could be reflux. The investigators want to determine if these symptoms can be prevented by changing the way infants are fed, either by giving them a formula to treat reflux or by thickening their feeds to treat reflux. The goal of the study is to determine if different types of feeding interventions prevent infants from coming back to the hospital.
NCT01244191

NCT02501902
This is a Phase 1, open label, multi center, multiple dose, dose escalation, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of palbociclib in combination with nab-P, in sequential cohorts of adult patients with mPDAC, with MTD expansion cohort(s). Approximately 30-60 patients are expected to be enrolled in the overall study.
NCT03080168
This is a research project looking at whether measuring movements or responses to certain questions can help predict suicidal thoughts or actions. This project has two parts: The first part will occur while the participant is receiving hospitalized at the Bedford VA Hospital. It involves wearing a watch-like device on his/her wrist and answering questions or doing tasks to measure mood and other mental health symptoms, and suicidal thoughts. In the second phase, the investigators will call the participant around 12 months after s/he has left the hospital. The investigators will discuss how s/he is doing and if s/he has had suicidal thoughts or made suicidal acts.
NCT03470194
The aim of the study is to determine if In-person interpreters increases patient satisfaction of URGYN office visits compared to the use of phone interpreter services for Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients
NCT03717246
Sleep is essential for children's daytime functioning and health. Poorer sleep hygiene can negatively affect sleep outcomes in children. Urban Latino children are at greater risk for poor sleep hygiene and poor quality sleep due to exposure to higher levels of urban and cultural stressors. This project aims to refine and test a novel school-based intervention to improve sleep hygiene and in turn, sleep quality in urban Latino middle school children. An existing sleep hygiene intervention that has been shown to improve sleep in urban children will be culturally and contextually tailored and has the potential to exert greater improvements in sleep hygiene and sleep outcomes for this high-risk group.
NCT02452866

NCT01915589
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of refametinib in patients with unresectable or metastatic HCC carrying a RAS mutation. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. Approximately 95 patients (15 at Stage 1/ 80 at Stage 2) will be accrued to this study to receive treatment. Stage 2 of the trial will only be conducted if at least 5 out of 15 patients at Stage 1 show at least confirmed partial response (PR) according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) assessed by central image review. Refametinib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, refametinib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the rate of response, i.e. the disease getting smaller. The aim is to show that the therapy with refametinib improves the response rate in this RAS mutation patient population.
NCT01055067
This is a multicenter, single-arm study for safety and efficacy.
NCT04832789
Primary Research Question for the Full ULTIMATE Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT): What is the effect of ultra-protective ventilation facilitated by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) versus best current conventional ventilation (CV) on all-cause hospital mortality among patients with early moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)? Secondary Research Questions: Among patients with early moderate-severe ARDS, what is the effect of ultra-protective ventilation versus CV on: (1) duration of mechanical ventilation; (2) duration of ICU and hospital stay; (3) organ dysfunction; (4) barotrauma; and (5) mortality at other time-points (ICU discharge, 28-day, 60-day)? The ULTIMATE Pilot Study: Before embarking on a definitive multinational trial to address the questions listed above, the ULTIMATE Pilot Study has these 3 specific feasibility objectives: 1. To assess adherence to our explicit mechanical ventilation protocols, with particular focus on delivered tidal volumes in both groups; 2. To estimate the rate of patient recruitment and understand barriers to recruitment; and 3. To measure and understand the reasons for crossovers or rescue by ECMO in the control group. In addition, we will monitor safety issues, recording serious adverse events in both groups.
NCT03380429
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in collaboration with Propeller Health has developed a sensor, which can clip on to the ELLIPTA® dry powder inhaler (DPI) and monitor the time and date that the ELLIPTA DPI cover is fully opened and closed. Additionally, a sensor will be attached to the rescue medication metered dose inhaler (MDI). The data from both sensors will be fed back to the subject via an application (app) on smart phone and will be reviewed by the subject's health care professional (HCP) via an online dashboard. The sensors, app, dashboard and systems to provide data comprise the CIS. This study will be the first to evaluate the effect of CIS on adherence to maintenance therapy in subjects with uncontrolled asthma. This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group study in asthmatic subjects currently on a fixed dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) maintenance therapy. Eligible subjects will receive RELVAR®/BREO® maintenance therapy via ELLIPTA DPI and salbutamol rescue medication via MDI with sensors attached to both inhalers during the run-in period, which may last for up to 3 months. Eligible subjects will then be randomized into five treatment arms depending on whether the data, from RELVAR/BREO ELLIPTA or RELVAR/BREO ELLIPTA and salbutamol MDI, is fed back to the subject or subject and HCP, or not at all. The treatment period for the study is approximately 6 months and there will be a follow-up period one week post last visit. The total duration of a subject in the study will be approximately 9 months. RELVAR, BREO and ELLIPTA are registered trademarks of GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.
NCT01573338
This is the first study where BAY1000394 is given in combination with chemotherapy: cisplatin / etoposide or carboplatin / etoposide. Patients with small cell lung cancer will be treated. Every patient will receive drug treatment, there is no placebo group. Different groups of patients will receive different dosages of BAY1000394 to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BAY1000394 in combination with chemotherapy. The dose of chemotherapy is the standard dose usually administered and will not change. The study will also assess how the drug is metabolized by the body and changes in tumor size. BAY1000394 will be given per mouth, twice a day for three days every week. Treatment will stop if the tumor continues to grow, if side effects occur which the patient can not tolerate or if the patients decides to exit treatment.
NCT01915602
This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of refametinib when given in combination with sorafenib as first line treatment in patients with unresectable or metastatic HCC carrying a RAS mutation. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. Approximately 95 patients (15 at Stage 1/ 80 at Stage 2) will be accrued to this study to receive treatment. Stage 2 of the trial will only be conducted if at least 5 out of 15 patients at Stage 1 show at least partial response according to an objective criteria to evaluate tumor size based on contrast enhancement \[modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST)\] assessed by external independent radiologists. Refametenib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, refametinib in combination with sorafenib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the rate of response, i.e. the disease getting smaller. The aim is to show that the therapy with refametinib in combination with sorafenib improves the response rate in this patient population compared to historical results observed with the sorafenib only.
NCT02552121
