NCT02474160
This study collects and stores tissue and blood samples from patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help scientists create new and better models to learn about cancer and to test new cancer drugs.
NCT05161169
This research study is exploring the use of genomic sequencing in the newborn period to screen healthy babies for current and future health risks. The study will enroll a diverse cohort of 500 healthy infants and their parents from Boston, MA; New York City, NY; and Birmingham, AL. A small blood sample will be collected from each infant, and whole genome sequencing will be performed in 1/2 of the cohort following a randomized controlled trial design. 3 months later, the randomization status and sequencing results will be shared with parents and pediatricians. Investigators will study the medical, behavioral, and economic outcomes of genomic sequencing to better understand how this technology can be implemented in outpatient primary care settings.
NCT05677971
The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo. Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.
NCT01116648
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of cediranib maleate and olaparib and to see how well they work compared to olaparib alone in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, or triple-negative breast cancer that has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cediranib maleate may help keep cancer cells from growing by affecting their blood supply. Olaparib may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. The combination of cediranib maleate and olaparib may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer or recurrent triple-negative breast cancer.
NCT06495996
The Protrieve PROTECTOR Study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study of the Protrieve Sheath.
NCT07059884
This clinical trial studies whether an exercise program can be successfully delivered to patients receiving treatment for cancer through virtual sessions and allow patients to exercise in their own home. Treatments for cancer can cause side effects such as fatigue and loss of strength. These side effects can make it difficult to work, take care of family, and do other things the patient wants to do. Preliminary research shows that exercise can help prevent some of these side effects, but it can be more difficult to start an exercise program when a patient is receiving cancer treatment. The exercise program in this study is delivered through telehealth (TH) video calls. The TH sessions are delivered by trained staff that supervise resistance exercises. The trained staff also provide guidance to the patient on completing unsupervised aerobic sessions on their own. This may be a successful way to deliver an exercise program and make it easier for cancer patients to exercise in their own home during treatment.
NCT07172464
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new heart device called P3 Occluder System in patients who have a small opening between the upper chambers of the heart (called a Patent Foramen Ovale or PFO) and have experienced a stroke that may be related to this heart opening. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the P3 Occluder System safe and effective for closing a PFO in patients who have had a stroke that could be related to a PFO. Participants will: * Undergo the procedure to implant the P3 Occluder System, if deemed appropriate. * Visit their doctor at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years after the procedure for follow up exams. * Answer a phone call from study staff at 2 years, 3 years, and 4 years after the procedure to answer a survey.
NCT06950294
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the formation and recovery rate of methemoglobin (MetHb) in severely sick patients with pneumonia who receive high doses of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy at 250 parts per million (ppm), not exceeding 300 ppm. Meanwhile, the benefits of the therapy to treat severely sick patients with pneumonia will be explored. Patients who are 18 years or older, newly diagnosed with pneumonia, and severely sick with requirement of a breathing machine could be included. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does methemoglobin change through the iNO treatment? Does iNO therapy increase the number of patients recovering from pneumonia? Researchers will compare iNO treatment to placebo, which means using the same device as the treatment group without delivering the study drug. Participants will: * Receive iNO treatment starting at 250 ppm, not exceeding 300 ppm, 40 min, every 6 hours, from day 1 to day 5 * Be followed up for 60 days
NCT07328555
Randomized controlled trial involving 4 pediatric primary care practices in Massachusetts. Practices will be stratified by their OM diagnosis and treatment rate, with two practices randomly assigned to the intervention arm and two to the control arm. For practices randomized to the intervention arm, their offices will be equipped with digital otoscopes (Wispr Digital Otoscope, WiscMed) in each exam room in place of traditional otoscopes. Clinicians in intervention practices will attend a two-hour initial training session on the use of digital otoscopy followed by two one-hour follow-up sessions held over a two-month run-in period prior to the study start to review best practices and troubleshoot any difficulties adapting to the new technology. Upon completion of the run-in training period, a six-month data collection period will begin. The primary outcome will consist of a difference-in-difference analysis comparing the difference in the OM Treatment Index (OMTI) from the baseline period (October 1 through March 31, 2025) to the intervention period (October 1 through March 31, 2026) between the intervention practices and the control practices. The OMTI is a measure of the rate of diagnosis and antibiotic treatment of OM, specifically calculated as the number of cases with an OM diagnosis and systemic antibiotic prescribed divided by the number of visits with a diagnosis of any acute respiratory tract illness. Secondary outcomes include analogous difference-in-difference comparisons of: 1) overall antibiotic courses prescribed; 2) overall days of antibiotics prescribed; and 3) a balancing measure of the rate of return visits with any acute respiratory tract illness diagnosis within 7 days of an index visit. Additionally, clinicians will be surveyed to assess confidence and satisfaction in diagnosing OM and preference for digital versus traditional otoscopy. To incentivize participation, practices randomized to the control arm will be loaned digital otoscopes to use for six months at the conclusion of the clinical trial.
NCT04739800
This phase II trial studies the possible benefits of treatment with different combinations of the drugs durvalumab, olaparib and cediranib vs. the usual treatment in patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement with platinum therapy (recurrent platinum resistant). Usual treatment is the type of treatment most patients with this condition receive if they are not part of a clinical study. Combination therapies studied in this trial include MEDI4736 (durvalumab) plus olaparib and cediranib, durvalumab and cediranib, or olaparib and cediranib. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumors cells to grow and spread. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking VEGF (an enzyme). needed for cell growth. Giving different combinations of durvalumab, olaparib and cediranib may work better in increasing the duration of time that the cancer does not progress compared to the usual treatment.
NCT06988306
The study is examining the health effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) intervention and medically tailored meals within home visiting. A large study is proposed that will include nearly a thousand pregnant or recently pregnant adults with recent GDM and who are from different regions and backgrounds. Two treatment approaches are compared, and both are in home visiting. One treatment group is receiving enhanced lifestyle support for GDM along with meals, and the other is receiving just the enhanced lifestyle support. The study will examine whether these interventions help reduce diabetes and pre-diabetes through 12 months postpartum, as well as other health factors like weight and blood pressure.
