NCT03096314
Vitamin D deficiency is a common, potentially reversible contributor to morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of early vitamin D3 supplementation in critically ill, vitamin D-deficient patients who were at high risk for death. Patients screened as vitamin D deficient (\<20 ng/mL) were randomized. Randomization occurred within 12 hours after the decision to admit the patient to an intensive care unit. Eligible patients received a single enteral dose of 540,000 IU of vitamin D3 or matched placebo. The primary end point was 90-day all-cause, all-location mortality.
NCT02599571

NCT01866956
The KSADS-COMP will facilitate identification of comorbid psychiatric and substance use diagnoses frequently missed in clinical practice, and improve adolescent treatment outcomes. The self-administered version of the KSADS-COMP can also be used cost-effectively in schools and juvenile justice settings where there is a growing interest in early identification and referral of youth in need of mental health services. The KSADS-Bridge assessment tool with its RDoC neurocognitive tasks, when completed with the self- or clinician administered KSADS-COMP, will help to create cross-talk between the DSM and RDoC diagnostic perspectives, and begin to generate a database on the relationship between RDoC constructs and treatment outcomes across a range of diagnostic categories.
NCT03149887
Liposomal bupivacaine, a long-acting form of bupivacaine, has been found to be effective for postoperative pain control after total knee, total hip and total shoulder arthroplasty. We are conducting a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in ambulatory patients, comparing standard care in the control group, with standard care plus the addition of injection of liposomal bupivacaine in the experimental group.
NCT01484275
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of siltuximab compared with placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).
NCT01943591
Endovascular treatment with platinum coils is safe and effective in preventing rebleeding of intracranial aneurysms. Unfortunately, endovascular treatment of aneurysms with coils has been associated with incomplete occlusion at initial treatment (remnant) or at follow-up (recurrence). This in some studies has been as high as 20%. While many such aneurysm remnants or recurrences exhibit benign behavior, many require retreatment to prevent future hemorrhage. A recent randomized controlled trial of aneurysm coiling revealed that aneurysms between 2 and 9.9 mm diameter were more likely to have an improved angiographic and composite clinical outcome when treated with hydrogel-coated coils, an improvement inferred to result from higher packing density afforded by hydrogel expansion(1). The use of hydrogel coils is associated with technical difficulties related to expansion and limited time for deployment. The investigators theorize that similar results could be achieved by using more voluminous bare platinum coils, leading to improved packing density compared to smaller caliber coils, and thus result in lower incidence of remnants or residuals. The relationship between packing densities and composite clinical endpoints having never been shown in a robust fashion, the investigators therefore propose a randomized clinical trial opposing coiling with soft 15-caliber coils to 10-caliber bare platinum coils in aneurysms varying in size from 3 to 9.9 mm. To test the hypothesis that 15-caliber coiling systems are superior to standard 10-caliber coils in achieving better composite outcomes, the investigators propose the DELTA trial: Does Embolization with Larger coils lead to better Treatment of Aneurysms trial, a randomized controlled blinded trial with 2 subgroups of 282 patients each, 564 total: Subgroup 1: Coiled with a maximum proportion of 15-caliber coils as conditions allow Subgroup 2: Coiled with 10-caliber coils.
NCT03767803
Whole blood sample procurement study from pregnant women with signs and symptoms of Preeclampsia.
NCT01297322
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cardiva VASCADE™ Vascular Closure System (VCS) in sealing femoral arterial access sites. Hypothesis: The Cardiva VASCADE™ VCS provides times to hemostasis (TTH) and time to ambulation (TTA) results that are less than manual compression by a clinically meaningful and statistically significant margin. The rate of major access site-related complications with the Cardiva VASCADE™ VCS is non-inferior to the major complication rates of manual compression for sealing femoral arterial access sites.
NCT01766037
This research study is being performed to find out if a new device, AspireAssist Aspiration Therapy System, can help people with obesity to lose weight without causing too many side effects.
NCT00342316
This study compares overall survival between patients with acute myeloid leukemia, who are in complete remission following initial treatment with chemotherapy and whose remission is maintained either with a transplantation of stem cells obtained from a sibling or unrelated donor or with standard treatment, which is additional chemotherapy. The study hypothesis is that the group transplanted with stem cells from a donor will have a superior survival compared with patients treated with standard of care.
NCT03337477
The study is designed to determine if ZS 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalemia will prove tolerable and efficacious. Patients will receive ZS or Placebo on top of standard of care treatment with insulin and glucose.
NCT01292655
The purpose of this study is to identify a safe and tolerable dose of BMS-906024 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who no longer respond to or have relapsed from standard therapies.
NCT02039219
The main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Obeticholic Acid when used in patients with moderately severe alcoholic hepatitis. The researchers suspect that individuals with alcoholic hepatitis have certain abnormalities in how their body handles bile acids (a product made by the liver on a daily basis) produced by the liver. Obeticholic acid has been shown to affect bile acid abnormalities and thus it is possible that obeticholic acid may improve liver condition in individuals with alcoholic hepatitis.

Infants born to mothers enrolled in this study will be followed-up in two separate clinical studies: 201330 \[DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-048 PRI\] and 201334 \[DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-049 BST: 048\].
NCT01782378
The purpose of this study is to learn if an experimental treatment can help thinking ability, and memory in Veterans with Gulf War Veterans Illnesses (GWVI). The experimental treatment uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs), that are applied outside the skull, to the head using a helmet that is lined with near-infrared diodes. LEDs are also placed in the nostrils (one red diode; and one near-infrared diode), near-infrared photons to the olfactory bulbs located on the orbito-frontal cortex. There are connections between the olfactory bulbs and the hippocampus. A treatment takes about 30 minutes. The participants receive a series of LED treatments which take place as outpatient visits at the VA Boston Healthcare System, Jamaica Plain Campus. The FDA considers the helmet LED device used here, to be a non-significant risk device. The diodes in the device placed in the nose are low-risk devices, within the FDA Category of General Wellness. In addition, a single, 90 mW near-infrared (NIR) LED was placed on each ear. The LEDs do not produce heat.
