NCT02823574
A study in patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck to evaluate the effectiveness of Nivolumab plus Ipilumumab vs. Nivolumab alone (CheckMate 714)
NCT02376699
This study is being done to find out if SEA-CD40 is safe and effective when given alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, and in combination with pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The study will test increasing doses of SEA-CD40 given at least every 3 weeks to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SEA-CD40 that can be given to patients that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Different dose regimens will be evaluated. Different methods of administration may be evaluated. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, biomarkers of response, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD40 will also be evaluated.
NCT04501445
Families of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are at increased risk for developing psychological symptoms that can last for months after the patient is discharged. These symptoms can have significant impact on both the patient and family member's quality of life. The investigators have found that families of patients admitted to the Rush University Medical Center ICU during to the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to develop clinically significant psychological symptoms than families of patients admitted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators suspect that this finding is due in part to the hospital-wide no visitation policy that altered our standard communication practices and may have prevented families from being active participants in the patient's medical care. The goals of this project are 1) to determine the prevalence of psychological disorders among families of COVID-19 patients after ICU discharge 2) to determine the characteristics of ICU care that were associated with the development of psychological disorders among family members and 3) to pilot a program in which families with psychological disorders after ICU discharge receive therapy from mental health professionals.
NCT00881361
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying surgery to remove the sentinel lymph node and axillary lymph nodes after chemotherapy in treating women with stage II, stage IIIA, or stage IIIB breast cancer.
NCT01960166
The investigators proposed study will investigate the efficacy of tablet computer distraction as an analgesic for the pain associated with various painful procedures in the emergency department. Since prior studies have shown that distraction by a parent or nurse can be an effective analgesic, there is reason to believe that tablet computer distraction will similarly reduce pain. Participants in the control group will receive a cartoon on the TV monitor in the patient room, while participants in the study group will receive a more immersive distraction of playing a game or watching a cartoon (for children too young to play a game) on a tablet computer. Data from this study will help inform best practices for administering painful procedures in a way that minimizes pain.
NCT01416649
This study investigates the effect of exenatide, a FDA approved medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes on sleep duration and quality. Individuals with type 2 diabetes will be studied before and during treatment with Exenatide. Enrolled individuals will be asked to come to the University of Chicago for 3-4 outpatient visits over the course of 3-4 months.
NCT01275716
Subjects in this research study have Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). This occurs when there is a build-up of fatty material in the wall of the heart arteries that causes narrowing of the arteries. This could lead to chest pain, a heart attack, weakening of the heart and/or permanent damage to the heart. As part of their normal routine care, subjects had or will have a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) to restore the blood flow in the arteries of their heart. During a PCI procedure, pictures are taken of the arteries before and after the treatment of the narrowing in the arteries. These pictures are acquired through angiography which is a way to produce X-ray pictures of the inside of arteries. After a PCI procedure, there is a possibility for narrowing of the arteries to return. The likelihood of this happening can be greatly reduced by lifestyle changes and adhering to heart medication regimens. It is part of normal, routine care for CAD patients to be given written and verbal information on how to lead a heart healthy lifestyle and to take heart medications properly. In this research study, the investigators will show half of the patients their before and after images of their heart arteries where the narrowing occurred and was treated. The other half of the patients will not be shown these images. Both groups will still receive information about lifestyle and medications as part of their normal, routine care. At the end of this study, the investigators will compare both groups to see if there are any differences in making lifestyle changes and taking heart medications properly. Additionally, the investigators would also like to see if there are any resulting differences in the amount of hearts attacks or other heart related medical events.
NCT02176226
This study will evaluate a Smartphone intervention for depression and anxiety that uses machine learning to tailor treatment for patients. The intervention, referred to as IntelliCare, delivers patient-specific treatment material and motivational messaging via a mobile phone, to help individuals with depression and/or anxiety. Information and data received from the patient will inform the tailored treatment approach through machine learning. The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary information on the feasibility and effectiveness of IntelliCare in improving symptoms of depression and anxiety.
NCT01276132
Subjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a (percutaneous coronary intervention) PCI as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure should restore the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. Recent studies have shown that stable patients who undergo PCI and are discharged home after 4 hours of observation do not suffer any more complications compared to patients who stay in the hospital overnight. In addition, studies suggest that patients express increased satisfaction at being discharged after 4 hours. The University of Chicago is one of the first US medical centers to institute a formal program of same-day discharge after PCI. This study will seek, through a analysis of medical information and satisfaction questionnaires, to assess whether this particular same-day discharge program can improve patient satisfaction and preserve patient safety.
NCT03191864
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disease of the esophagus, characterized by eosinophilic infiltration and gastrointestinal symptoms. Swallowed, topically acting corticosteroids, such as fluticasone, appear to be effective in resolving acute clinical and pathological features of EoE. APT-1011 is an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of fluticasone propionate. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 with placebo in adults with EoE for an initial 12-week treatment period, followed by an additional 40-week maintenance treatment phase. Histologic response, pharmacokinetics, and dysphagia will be assessed.
NCT02522533
Frailty has been associated with poor acute and long-term outcomes after major surgery. We recently determined that nearly 70% of patients undergoing major thoracic surgery are pre-frail or frail. We are interested in assessing whether a strength training intervention for frail or pre-frail patients has an impact on surgical decision making and on surgical outcomes.

NCT00272987
This study was originally designed as a Phase III randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and tolerability, and efficacy of paclitaxel plus trastuzumab plus lapatinib compared with paclitaxel plus trastuzumab plus placebo in women with ErbB2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. The planned study was a two stage design with an initial open-label safety stage to be conducted in approximately 65 subjects followed by a randomized phase conducted in a further 700 subjects. The open-label part of the study sequentially enrolled three cohorts with patients receiving a different dose combination of paclitaxel, trastuzumab and lapatinib. Following poor recruitment rate in the open label stage, the randomized stage of the study was terminated, thus no subjects were enrolled into the randomization stage.
