NCT02088905
The aim of the current proposal is to determine if the PCIT treatment manual can be successfully utilized for preschoolers with ASD and disruptive behavior (across a range of intellectual functioning levels) and to evaluate its ability to significantly decrease measures of problem behavior. It is hypothesized that the current manual will require few modifications for use with ASD and that, in comparison to a wait-list control group, families who undergo PCIT training will evidence significant gains on measures of parenting stress, child externalizing behaviors and compliance to parental requests. To address the pilot study aims, we will recruit a total of 25 families of children with ASD (ages 2.6-6.11 years) whose children are already receiving intensive, one-on-one behavioral treatment services (15-30 hours per week) but no structured parent training. Families will be randomized to either intensive services + PCIT or intensive services alone (wait list control). Assessments will be completed at baseline, mid-treatment (9 weeks post baseline), post-treatment (18 weeks after the baseline assessment) and long-term follow-up (12 weeks post-treatment). PCIT families will attend 16 weekly, one-hour coaching sessions. Both active treatment and wait-list control families will continue to receive intensive ABA services in the home or community. Control families will receive PCIT training after 18 weeks on the "wait-list." The aims of the pilot study are: 1. To assess the utility of the current PCIT treatment manual with preschoolers with ASD and disruptive behavior and their parents; Hypothesis 1: The current PCIT treatment manual will be able to be utilized with families of children with ASD with only minimal modifications. Hypothesis 2: Families of children with ASD will consistently attend PCIT sessions. 2. To determine if PCIT with this population will result in an increase in appropriate parent behaviors and a subsequent decrease in targeted child behaviors (e.g., direct assessment of noncompliance, behavior rating scales). Hypothesis 3: Families receiving PCIT training will evidence statistically greater decreases on measures of disruptive behavior, quality of parent-child interactions and parental stress than families on the wait-list control group.
NCT00626912
The PRET study aims at comparing two types of coils used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The first type made of platinum has been used for more than 15 years. The other, referred to as hydrocoil, containing in addition to platinum a polymer layer that expands when in contact with blood, has been in use since 2002. The hypothesis of the PRET study is that the newer hydrocoil will be more effective and yet as safe as the older platinum coil.

The purpose of this study is to assess analgesic efficacy of ASP3662 relative to placebo in subjects with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) as well as assess the safety and tolerability of ASP3662 relative to placebo. The analgesic effect is evaluated by measuring percent responders, change in daily worst pain score, change in average daily pain score, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC).
NCT01223261
The purposes of this study were: 1) to compare mortality and postoperative morbidities in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants who underwent initial laparotomy or drainage for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or isolated intestinal perforation (IP); 2) to determine the ability to distinguish NEC from IP preoperatively and the importance of this distinction on outcome measures; and 3) to evaluate the association between extent of intestinal disease determined at operation and outcome measures. All ELBW infants born at participating NRN centers were screened for the presence of NEC or IP that was thought by the pediatric surgeon and neonatologist to require surgical intervention. Data were collected enrolled infants, including: intraoperative findings recorded by the surgeon and specific post-operative complications. Neurodevelopmental examinations were conducted on surviving infants at 18-22 months corrected age.
NCT01203423
This study was an observational study to estimate the prevalence of Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) among term or near-term infants with severe respiratory disease.
NCT00109525
This observational study evaluated the performance of new lab tests in detecting candida species fungal infections in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants quickly and accurately. 19 NICHD Neonatal Research Network sites enrolled 1,500 infants with birth weights ≤1,000g; 100 of these infants later tested positive for candidiasis. Blood, urine, and lumbar puncture samples were collected whenever other specimens were obtained from participants for cultures. These samples are being tested using the new methods and compared with standard culture results. Surviving study subjects completed a neurodevelopmental evaluation at 18-22 months corrected age.

NCT01273155
Background: \- Belinostat is an experimental cancer treatment drug that works by helping to turn on genes that limit cell growth and survival of cancer cells. These genes are often switched off in tumors. Belinostat has been given to patients with different types of cancer to measure its safety and effectiveness, but it has not been given in a formal trial to cancer patients who have abnormal liver function. Because belinostat is processed by the liver, its safety and effectiveness needs to be established in individuals who have abnormal liver function. Researchers are interested in comparing the effects of belinostat as a cancer treatment drug in individuals with normal and abnormal liver function. Objectives: * To test the safety and effectiveness of belinostat in individuals who have solid tumors and lymphomas and who also have abnormal liver function. * To compare the results of belinostat treatment in individuals with normal and abnormal liver function. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors or lymphomas that have not responded to standard treatment. * Individuals with normal liver function and varying degrees of abnormal liver function (mild, moderate, severe) are eligible. Design: * Participants will be screened with a full medical history and physical examination, as well as blood and urine tests, and tumor imaging studies. Participants will then be divided into study groups based on their liver function. * Participants will receive belinostat in cycles of treatment. Except for cycle 1, all cycles will last 21 days. Cycle 1 will last 28 days. For cycle 1 only, participants will receive a single dose of belinostat 1 week before the regular 21-day treatment cycle starts. * In each cycle, participants will receive belinostat once a day for 5 days, and will be asked to keep a medication diary to record any side effects. * Participants will have regular clinic visits with blood and urine sample collection and imaging studies to evaluate the cancer's response to treatment. * Participants may continue to take belinostat for as long as the cancer responds to the treatment.
NCT00103532
Risk behaviors and their associated adverse health outcomes are becoming increasingly problematic among HIV-infected youth. This study is being conducted to test whether a brief motivational enhancement (ME) intervention will help reduce health risk behaviors (drug and alcohol use, sexual risk behavior, poor adherence to medications) among HIV+ youth.
NCT03333824
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AZD1775 has any effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of three compounds (caffeine, omeprazole, and midazolam) that are probes for common drug-metabolizing enzymes (caffeine-CYP1A2, omeprazole-CYP2C19, midazolam-CYP3A). The study also seeks to determine the effect of AZD1775 on the QTc interval, which is a common measure of cardiac (heart) function.
NCT00273325
Premature infants are at a high risk for pneumonia. The PCV-7 vaccine effectively prevents the invasive disease from Streptococcus pneumoniae in full-term infants, but was not thoroughly studied in premature infants. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine given in routine practice to very low birth weight infants, looking at blood antibody levels 4-6 weeks after the final vaccine dose, and adverse events, survival, infections, and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18-22 months corrected age.
NCT03178942
Study to Evaluate the Therapeutic Equivalence of Permethrin Cream 5%in the Treatment of Scabies.
NCT01685138
A single-arm, open-label, two-stage multicenter, phase II study. Patients were pre-screened for ALK positive status. Treatment with LDK378 at 750 mg qd was continued until the patient experienced unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment, discontinued treatment at the discretion of the investigator or patient, started a new anticancer therapy and/or died. LDK378 was continued beyond RECIST defined progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator, if in the judgment of the investigator, there was evidence of clinical benefit. Patients who discontinued the study medication in the absence of progression continued to be followed for tumor assessment until the time of PD as assessed by the investigator. Male and female patients aged 18 or over with ALK-rearranged non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) were screened for eligibility. Patients had to have received no prior crizotinib, and had to be chemotherapy-naïve or been pretreated with cytotoxic chemotherapy (up to three prior lines).
NCT01558791
This research study is designed to learn about Veterans' understanding of mild TBI (traumatic brain injury) and the VA TBI screening process. All OEF/OIF Veterans who come to one of the study-related clinics for TBI screening will be invited to participate. An educational handout on TBI will be given to half of the participants along with their TBI screening. The other half of the participants will have the usual TBI screening without the educational handout. Veterans enrolled in the study will be asked to answer a 5-10 minute research questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask: * About the individual: such as gender and branch of service * About what happened during the TBI screening: such as whether the Veteran had a chance to ask the provider any questions * About the Veteran's understanding of mild TBI: such as whether symptoms of mild TBI are long lasting Veterans who receive the educational handout will be asked specific questions about the handout and its information.
NCT01737281
Veterans with a mental health diagnosis have higher a prevalence of smoking and higher rates of smoking-related morbidities compared to the general Veteran population. Smoking cessation treatment delivery in the VA typically depends on a visit from a health care provider. In this study, investigators will use information within the electronic medical record to identify all smokers with a mental health diagnosis at a VA health care facility and proactively reach out to enroll them in an intensive tobacco cessation treatment program. This approach could be generalized to other behaviors and provides a novel method to improve the health of an entire population of patients.
