NCT01224210
This is an Open Label, Multicenter, pilot clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of an oral selective Endothelin Receptor Antagonist (ambrisentan) in patients with portopulmonary hypertension. Preliminary evidence suggests that ambrisentan is safe and effective in patients with portopulmonary hypertension. The goal of therapy for these patients is to improve symptoms of dyspnea and to improve pulmonary hemodynamics to a mean pulmonary artery pressure \<35 mm Hg in order to make patients eligible for liver transplantation. Therefore, the primary endpoints for this study will include 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Eligible subjects will receive 5 mg ambrisentan once-daily for the first 4 weeks. After the initial 4-week period, investigators will increase study drug dose to 10 mg once daily (both 5 mg and 10 mg doses are FDA approved). If 10 mg is not tolerated in the opinion of investigator, then the investigator may decrease the dose back to 5 mg once daily. Primary outcome is a change in both the 6 Minute Walk Distance and in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance from baseline to Week 24. Subjects will be monitored with liver function tests (LFT) every 2 weeks for the first 8 weeks, then every 4 weeks thereafter. These safety laboratory tests may be performed at a local phlebotomy laboratory or at the Investigator clinic. In addition, the Investigator will assess each subject for safety and efficacy at Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24. Following Week 24, subjects will be assessed for safety and efficacy every 12 weeks. Patients will be followed for a total of 1 year. After 1 year, if the Investigator feels that continuing the treatment will be beneficial to the patients, they will be provided with ambrisentan by Gilead Pharmaceuticals, free of charge.

NCT01944930
Adult patients evaluated at Lahey Clinic with known or suspected gastrointestinal or gynecologic malignancies and with an indication for diagnostic laparoscopy will be offered participation in the study. The proposed study is a randomized, controlled feasibility trial with crossover design. The study's aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic narrow band imaging (NBI) compared to standard white-light laparoscopy for detection of peritoneal cancer metastases. Study patients will undergo laparoscopic evaluation of the peritoneal cavity using a routine white-light videolaparoscope with the capability of NBI. The order of white-light and NBI laparoscopy will be randomized for each patient (crossover design). Frozen-section histopathology biopsies will be retrieved of all suspicious-appearing abnormalities using best clinical practices. The number of detected peritoneal metastases will be compared between each diagnostic laparoscopy technique. To gauge the rate of potentially missed metastases, peritoneal cancer recurrence will be surveyed through a 1-year follow-up.

NCT03684044
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of baloxavir marboxil in combination with a standard-of-care (SOC) neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) (i.e., oseltamivir, zanamivir, or peramivir) compared with a matching placebo in combination with a SOC NAI in hospitalized patients with influenza.
NCT03281876
The purpose of this study is to test if the vaccine is working well in COPD patients aged 40 to 80 years old to reduce episodes of worsening symptoms ("exacerbations") and to gather further information on safety and immune response. In the current study, COPD patients with a history of acute exacerbations will receive 2 doses of the investigational vaccine or placebo intramuscularly according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The effect of vaccination against two pathogens known to cause exacerbations (Non-typeable Haemophilus influenza \[NTHi\] and Moraxella catarrhalis \[Mcat\]) will be evaluated at pre-defined timepoints (scheduled study visits). In addition to the scheduled study visits, additional study visit(s) and/ or phone contact(s) will take place for each acute exacerbation of COPD occurring from first vaccination up to study conclusion.
NCT04702945
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID -19) is the largest public health crisis in over a century. There is an urgent need for high-quality population-level data to understand modifiable risks for disease severity, transmissibility, and to develop evidence-based prevention (i.e. vaccination), treatment and resource allocation strategies. The Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network (CCEDRRN) created a population-based registry of suspected and confirmed consecutive cases of COVID-19. The purpose of this registry is to derive and validate clinical decision rules, evaluate diagnostic tests and vaccine effectiveness, and complete cohort, case-control and observational studies to inform the pandemic response.

The total treatment period is up to 10 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up period after the last dose (Week 22).
NCT03107468
This is a clinical trial for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Mokhuri intensive treatment program regarding pain and function before and after treatment between a group receiving the Mokhuri intensive treatment program (Chuna, acupuncture, and patient education) for five weeks and another group receiving non-surgical conventional standard treatment (drugs for pain relief, epidural steroid injection treatment, and physical therapy). The trial will be conducted through international cooperation between Mayo Clinic in the United States and Mokhuri Oriental Medicine Hospital in Korea. All subjects in Korea and the US will be selected based on the same inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. All subjects in the treatment arm will receive the same treatment in Korea and the US. In collaboration and with the support of Mayo Clinic's Department of Integrative Medicine and Health, and to ensure treatment consistency between Korea and the US, an acupuncturist from the USA will travel to Korea and train on-site for one month in Mokhuri hospital. The trial subjects who agree to participate in the clinical trial after providing informed consent will receive the required examinations and tests according to the clinical trial plan. If they are appropriate for this clinical trial and eligible based on the Inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be randomly assigned to the group that will undergo the focused Mokhuri intensive treatment program and to the group that will receive non-surgical conventional treatment on their second visit. All the subjects in this study will be educated regarding the study procedure and scheduled visits and will participate in the allocated treatments for five weeks. Afterwards, clinical outcomes of both groups will be evaluated after end of the treatments from between a week and five weeks (within +7 days). The clinical trial ends after the follow-up evaluations that will take place 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, and 96 weeks after the end of the treatment evaluation.
