NCT01180634
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by one or multiple bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been particularly problematic to eradicate and been implicated as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Aerosol delivery of antibiotics directly to the lung increases the local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection resulting in improved antimicrobial effects compared to systemic administration. Decreased efficacy, intolerance and high treatment burden with currently available therapies indicate a need for additional therapies. MP-376 (Aeroquin™) is a novel formulation of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin that has been optimized for aerosol delivery. Preclinical and clinical studies conducted to date show that aerosol doses of MP-376 are safe and well tolerated, exert an antimicrobial effect, improve lung function and reduce the need for other anti-pseudomonal antibiotics. High concentrations of levofloxacin in the lung delivered as MP-376 are active against CF pathogens including those with high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) levels to aminoglycosides such as tobramycin (TOBI®) and other inhaled antimicrobial agents. Inhaled MP-376 can be delivered rapidly and efficiently using a customized PARI investigational configuration of the eFlow® nebulizer system.
NCT02723591

NCT03653676
Recommendations for exercise prescription currently do not exist for individuals with sickle cell anemia (SCA) despite the known impact that SCA-related complications has on physical functioning and fitness. A major barrier to increasing physical activity in SCA is the concern that the well-described inflammatory effects of exercise could precipitate or exacerbate complications such as vaso-occlusive pain or airway bronchoconstriction (i.e. exercise-induced asthma). Although the investigator's preliminary data suggest that increasing physical activity may be beneficial rather than harmful in children with SCA, the pro-inflammatory effects associated with repeated bouts of moderate to vigorous exercise remain poorly understood in this population. The long term goal is to address the safety and health impact of regular exercise in children with SCA. This proposal would help establish the safety of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise in children with SCA and importantly, will inform the design of future clinical trials focused on exercise training as a transformative strategy to improve fitness and overall well-being in this population.
NCT05459688
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of CIN-107 for up to 52 weeks in patients with HTN who have completed Part 1 or Part 2 of Study CIN-107-124. The study will be conducted at clinical sites that have participated in the double-blind, Phase 2 Study CIN-107-124.
NCT03701763
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. At least 230 pediatric subjects (ages 6 through 17 years) will be randomized 2:1 to receive either apremilast or placebo for the first 16 weeks and then all subjects will receive apremilast during the 36 week Extension Phase for a total of 52 weeks. Randomization to apremilast arm or placebo arm will be stratified by age group (6 to 11 years or 12 to 17 years). Subjects will receive apremilast treatment of either 20 mg twice daily (BID) or 30 mg BID, depending on weight. This Phase 3 study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apremilast in the treatment of pediatric subjects.
NCT04626583
This study is a longitudinal assessment using a classic dose-escalation study design to assess the safety and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of locally delivered allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) for promoting corneal repair. The study will be conducted at Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary located at University of Illinois at Chicago. The study will use digital conjunctival and corneal photography and corneal Scheimpflug Imaging, densitometry, and pachymetry for assessment of safety and corneal wound healing.
NCT03869736
The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the antidepressant effects of nitrous oxide in people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). MDD is a global medical condition that causes significant health and economic burden. Recent studies have shown that a single dose of ketamine, an NMDA-antagonist, has fast and long lasting anti-depressant effect. Nitrous oxide, another NMDA-antagonist, is widely used for anesthesia and analgesia, safer to administer and has fewer side effects than ketamine. A randomized controlled crossover feasibility study showed significant reduction in depressive symptoms at 2 and 24 hours after a single 1-hour treatment session of inhaled nitrous oxide compared with placebo. Nitrous oxide is inexpensive and can be safely administered by any trained clinician. If found to be efficacious, it could be used to provide rapid anti-depressant effect whilst the benefit of traditional anti-depressants has its delayed effect. Another potential application could be in acutely suicidal patients. This investigated-initiated phase 2b trial will enable confirmation and extension of the findings from the feasibility study, and identify the optimal dose and regimen in a broader population of those with MDD. Participants will be randomized to receive a weekly 1-hour inhalational sessions of either nitrous oxide or placebo (oxygen-air mixture) for 4 weeks, and the nitrous group will be further randomly assigned to a dose of 50% nitrous oxide or 25% nitrous oxide. Depression severity will be assessed by a blinded observer pre-treatment and at weekly intervals during and for 4 weeks after treatment using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.
NCT05856162
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether a multi-component intervention delivered during pregnancy and after delivery can improve the cardiovascular health of pregnant individuals enrolled in home visiting programs, as well as their offspring's cardiovascular health. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does a multi-component intervention improve cardiovascular health of pregnant individuals and new mothers enrolled in home visiting programs? 2. Does a multi-component intervention improve cardiovascular health of the offspring of pregnant individuals/new mothers enrolled in home visiting programs? Participants receiving the multi-component intervention will receive content on promoting cardiovascular health delivered by their home visitor and asynchronously. All participants will be asked to complete assessments at baseline, 2-month follow-up, and 4-month follow-up. The investigators will compare whether pregnant individuals and new mothers randomized to the intervention group, and their offspring, exhibit better cardiovascular health than pregnant individuals and new mothers randomized to the control group.
NCT01270347
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by one or multiple bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been particularly problematic to eradicate and been implicated as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Aerosol delivery of antibiotics directly to the lung increases the local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection resulting in improved antimicrobial effects compared to systemic administration. Bacterial resistance to current aerosol antibiotic treatments indicate a need for improved therapies to treat CF patients with pulmonary infections caused by multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria. High concentrations of MP-376 delivered directly to the lung are projected to have antimicrobial effects on even the most resistant organisms.
NCT01993810
This randomized phase III trial studies proton chemoradiotherapy to see how well it works compared to photon chemoradiotherapy in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, such as photon or proton beam radiation therapy, may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether proton chemoradiotherapy is more effective than photon chemoradiotherapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT04719832
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study that aims to assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) in participants with severe uncontrolled asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype
NCT05597891
Evaluation of initial safety and clinical feasibility of the Hēlo PE Thrombectomy System for thrombectomy in acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE).
NCT04812366
The objective of this study is to see if providing an appropriate therapy based on the genomic testing of prostate tumour tissue will result in an improved clinical response. Each participant will be treated with 8 weeks of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRHa) plus apalutamide (APA) while genome sequence characterization is being done. Participants with biopsy specimens deemed unevaluable for genomic testing will remain on LHRHa plus APA for an additional 16 weeks. Participants with evaluable tissue will be assigned to one of the open-label sub-studies on the basis of genomic profiling results. Within each group, they will be randomized to a specific treatment arm either LHRHa plus APA alone or adding abiraterone acetate and prednisone, docetaxel or niraparib. The study will evaluate the response rate and outcomes after radical prostatectomy in each arm of the trial.

NCT05561764
There is established evidence that patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) may have altered antibiotic pharmacokinetics compared with non-CF patients. Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam is a novel broad spectrum intravenous beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination antibiotic with potent activity against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including imipenem non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Relebactam has also been shown to restore imipenem activity in Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of opportunistic multidrug resistant pathogens that commonly infect patients with CF. This study will determine the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam in 16 adolescent and adult patients with CF acute pulmonary exacerbations at one of seven participating hospitals in the US, with exploratory aim of reporting relative percent increase in FEV1 from pre- to post-treatment and return to baseline FEV1 after treatment with imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam for acute pulmonary exacerbations due to P. aeruginosa in patients with CF. Patients will receive a 10-14 day course of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam, dosed according to renal function every 6 hours over 30 mins, with or without adjunctive aminoglycoside or fluoroquinolone therapy per local hospital guidelines. Blood will be sampled during one dosing interval at steady-state (i.e. after at least 3 doses) to determine concentrations and pharmacokinetics of imipenem and relebactam. Relative change in pulmonary function will be assessed two weeks after end of therapy. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the duration of the study.
NCT03817424
