NCT03553576
Neuraxial labor analgesia is performed by the administration of a local anesthetic/opioid mixture in the epidural space. The delivery method is a combination of continuous infusion, provider-administered boluses and patient-administered boluses (patient controlled epidural analgesia \[PCEA\]) via epidural catheter. The anesthetic solution administered through the lumbar epidural catheter must spread cephalad in the epidural space to reach the T10 nerve roots and spinal cord, and must spread caudad to reach the caudal nerve roots in the epidural space. Epidural infusion pumps capable of delivering PIEB of local anesthetic with PCEA have become commercially available and many studies have attempted to assess the optimal parameter settings (including volume of programmed bolus, bolus interval, rate of bolus administration) to provide superior labor analgesia. Traditionally higher concentration local anesthetic solutions have been associated with increased motor blockade leading to a higher incidence of instrumental vaginal delivery. Several local anesthetic solutions with varying drug concentrations are available for labor analgesia and are used clinically in the United States. We plan to perform a randomized, controlled, double-blind study to test the hypothesis that patients whose labor analgesia is maintained using PIEB with low-volume bolus (6.25 mL) of a higher local anesthetic concentration solution (0.1% bupivacaine with fentanyl 2.0 mcg/mL) will require less supplemental analgesia (manual provider re-doses) than patients whose PIEB is delivered with a high-volume bolus (10 mL) of lower density local anesthetic solution (0.0625% bupivacaine with fentanyl 2.0 mcg/mL). The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between bolus volume and concentration of local anesthetic during maintenance of labor analgesia with programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) analgesia. The hypothesis of this study is: patients whose labor analgesia is maintained using PIEB with low-volume bolus (6.25 mL) of higher local anesthetic concentration solution (0.1% bupivacaine with fentanyl 2.0 mcg/mL) will have a longer duration of adequate analgesia (time to first manual re-dose request) than patients whose PIEB is delivered with a high-volume bolus (10 mL) of lower concentration local anesthetic solution (0.0625% bupivacaine with fentanyl 2.0 mcg/mL).
NCT06844305
The goal of clinical trial is to assess an integrated, patient-centered strategy combining user preference-based prosthetic foot prescription and subsequent targeted physical therapy to maximize satisfaction and mobility outcomes for Veterans and others with lower limb loss. The main aims it will address are: * Assess the effect of prosthetic foot selection based on experiential preference as determined using a variable stiffness foot on mobility and satisfaction * Assess the effect of a targeted physical therapy intervention following preference-based foot selection on mobility, balance, and satisfaction? Participants will walk with an emulator prosthetic foot to experience three different conditions that emulate different commercial feet to determine their most- and least-preferred foot. Participants' satisfaction, perceived mobility, and functional mobility will be measured and compared between their most- and least-preferred feet using the corresponding commercial feet. Participants will then be randomly assigned to receive either the standard-of-care (control group) or personalized physical therapy intervention for eight weeks using that preferred prosthetic foot. Participants' satisfaction, mobility, and balance will be measured pre- and post-intervention.
NCT03845296
This phase II Lung-MAP trial studies how well rucaparib works in treating patients with genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) high and/or deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or that has come back. Rucaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

NCT04318327
This was a first-in-human study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and preliminary antitumor efficacy of autologous T cells genetically engineered with a novel B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and manufactured with a new process. CAR-T cells were investigated as a single agent in multiple myeloma
NCT05155501
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare cancer control and health-related quality of life following pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy versus standard radical prostatectomy. The investigators hypothesize that pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy will have similar cancer control (primary outcome) and sexual function outcomes; and significantly better urinary function, penile shortening/deformity and inguinal hernia risks as compared to radical prostatectomy.
NCT05287217
The safest and most effective post-operative pain control regimen after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has been the subject of persistent research. This prospective study will compare post-operative pain control when managed either by a defined medication schedule or medication taken on an as-needed basis after functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis. Prior to surgery, patients will be randomly selected to be in one of two treatment arms. One group will receive instructions to take specific medications (acetaminophen and ibuprofen on a specific schedule post-operatively. The second treatment groups will be instructed to take the same medications but on an as needed basis for pain. Patients will also be provided with an option of a limited supply of narcotic analgesics for pain should they be needed. Post-operative pain control will be assessed by the patient with a pain-diary documenting perceived levels of pain for 10 days post-operatively using a validated visual analog scale. At the conclusion of the study the records of medications taken along with pain responses will be compared between groups
NCT05100836
A multi-center, prospective \& retrospective, observational single-arm study of the clinical outcomes up to one year collected from electronic health records of patients which have undergone standard of care implantation of Impella 5.5, regardless of clinical situation or indication. All patients will be enrolled via an IRB-approved Waiver of Informed Consent and HIPAA Authorization. All patients who were supported retrospectively (prior to site IRB approval) with Impella 5.5 at the investigative site will be entered into the SURPASS registry and specified as the retrospective cohort.

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.
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.

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
