NCT04601337
Many surgical procedures such as brachial plexus reconstruction, nerve repair, and dorsal root rhizotomies rely on the spatial selectivity of their neural stimulation methods to identify specific nerve fascicles or rootlets. Due to the variable distribution of nerves between patients, many times it is not enough to rely on the historical topography of nerves to determine their location and identity.Currently, electrical stimulation (ES) methods are used to stimulate nerves in order to locate and map them intraoperatively. ES, however, is subject to current spread in which the electrical stimulus extends beyond the area proximal to the electrode into the surrounding tissue. This can result in the stimulation of multiple fascicles introducing ambiguity as to the location and/or identity of a specific nerve or fascicle. Our group has shown that infrared neural stimulation (INS), a novel optical and label-free means of exciting neural tissue, is capable of safely stimulating nerves with a higher degree of spatial specificity than traditional ES methods. Our clinical studies have even shown that INS can outperform ES, achieving isolated rootlet responses. The investigators hypothesize that the spatial selectivity of INS can be further utilized in upper extremity surgeries such as brachial plexus reconstruction and nerve transfers to improve intraoperative nerve identification and localization. While the initial clinical work was performed with a costly clinical laser system, our group has demonstrated the efficacy of cost-effective laser diode systems for INS in animal models in vivo.The safety of these lasers, however, has yet to be proven histologically in human patients. The objective of this proposal is two-fold: to demonstrate the efficacy of INS for spatially selective nerve stimulation in the upper extremity and to determine the histological safety of INS using diode laser systems in human patients. To do so, the investigators will recruit patients undergoing brachial plexus reconstruction (BPR) and nerve transfer surgeries wherein both the effectiveness and spatial selectivity of INS can be demonstrated and histological samples can be obtained without detriment to the patients' quality of care or recovery. To accomplish these objectives, the investigators propose the following aims: Aim 1: Design and fabricate a clinical fiberoptic probe for a diode-based INS system Aim 2: Demonstrate the efficacy of INS in nerve transfer cases Aim 3: Determine the histological safety of the diode-based INS system
NCT03782493
The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Enhanced Milieu Teaching-Sentence Focus (EMT-SF) intervention, implemented by caregivers and interventionists, relative to a control condition enrolling 108 30-month-old children and their caregivers. The central hypothesis is that intervention will result in better overall child language skills at 49 months of age.
NCT05483907

NCT05547165
Patent Ductus Arteriosus is a developmental condition commonly observed among preterm infants. It is a condition where the opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart fail to close after birth. In the womb, the opening (ductus arteriosus) is the normal part of the circulatory system of the baby, but is expected to close at full term birth. If the opening is tiny, the condition can be self-limiting. If not, medications/surgery are options for treatment. There are two ways to treat patent ductus arteriosus - one is through closure of the opening with an FDA approved device called PICCOLO, the other is through supportive management (medications). No randomized controlled trials have been done previously to see if one of better than the other. Through our PIVOTAL study, the investigators aim to determine is one is indeed better than the other - if it is found that the percutaneous closure with PICCOLO is better, then it would immediately lead to a new standard of care. If not, then the investigators avoid an invasive costly procedure going forward.
NCT00667823
The main objective of the AC 055 303/SERAPHIN OL study, which will follow the AC 055 302/SERAPHIN study, will be to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ACT 064992 in patients with symptomatic PAH.
NCT02276872
This was a multi-center, open-label, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study of oral treprostinil in pediatric subjects with stable PAH aged 7 to 17 years who were (1) transitioning from parenteral Remodulin therapy; (2) transitioning from inhaled prostacyclin therapy; or (3) not currently receiving prostacyclin therapy.
NCT03197688
The Opsumit Users registry (OPUS; NCT02126943) was developed to characterize the safety profile of Opsumit and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting. It is expected that the recruitment target of the OPUS registry cannot be achieved within the planned time period (5000 Opsumit new users by October 2018). The OrPHeUS study is designed to supplement the OPUS registry with retrospectively identified first-time Opsumit users in order to achieve the desired sample size.
NCT04450693
It is hypothesized that application at 4-week or greater intervals of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher rate of wounds showing complete healing within 25 weeks of initiating therapy, compared with standard care alone. This second confirmatory Phase 3 study examines a population of diabetic foot ulcer patients having adequate perfusion, with or without neuropathy, and a high suspicion of associated osteomyelitis in a complex, high grade wound.
