NCT04437576
The proposed pilot investigation is a prospective, observational study of 300 healthy nulliparous women with spontaneous term labor onset. The specific aims of this study are to: Aim #1: Characterize IL-8 (pro-inflammatory biomarker), basal body temperature, maternal heart rate, and electrical activity of the uterus prior to spontaneous onset of labor through the onset of active labor among nulliparous women. IL-8 will be quantified weekly, daily basal body temperature, as well as continuous maternal heart rate and electrical activity of the uterus throughout the transition from late pregnancy into active labor. Aim #2: Characterize latent labor symptoms among nulliparous women in spontaneous labor. Using Likert scale, childbirth-specific, symptom-specific PROMIS measures,45 and open-ended questions will be quantified and characterize latent labor symptoms (e.g., intensity, frequency) and identify relevant themes. Aim #3: Characterize trajectories of labor biomarkers and latent labor symptoms across latent labor duration. A modified growth mixture modeling approach to quantify subgroup phenotypes among nulliparous women in spontaneous latent labor will be employed. Hypothesis 3.1. There will be significant congruence between higher biomarkers (e.g., higher IL-8, more uterine electrical activity) and symptoms that are more intense and frequent. Hypothesis 3.2. At least two classes of laboring women with distinct trajectories of change in biomarkers and symptoms can be identified and will be associated with cervical dilation at hospital admission. Exploratory Aim: Characterize biomarkers among nulliparous women with spontaneous labor onset vs. nulliparous women requiring labor induction for post-term gestation. Weekly IL-8, daily basal body temperature, as well as continuous maternal heart rate and electrical activity of the uterus throughout the transition from late pregnancy into active labor between those whose labor begins spontaneously and those whose labors are induced for post-term gestation will be quantified. Exploratory Hypothesis. There will be different biomarker patterns between women with spontaneous labor onset vs. those without. The Standard descriptive and inferential statistics as well as growth mixture modeling for quantitative aims will be used. The investigators will use thematic development for qualitative aims.

NCT03774784
The purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history of leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloidotic (ALECT2) disease. In this observational study participants with ALECT2 disease will be enrolled. Participants, who have already reached end-stage renal disease (ESRD), will provide retrospective chart review data and biological specimens at baseline only. Other participants, in addition to retrospective chart review, will be followed prospectively.
NCT00304031
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of temozolomide when given together with radiation therapy is more effective in treating glioblastoma or gliosarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of temozolomide to compare how well they work when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.
NCT04047316
A completely new type of digital dermatoscope has been developed in order to take a significant step forward in technology for skin cancer imaging. By means of this study a better insight can be gained of the current performance and workflow in clinical dermatoscopy. This knowledge will be used to further improve the developed technology.
NCT02441946
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biological effects of abemaciclib in combination with anastrozole and compare those to the effects of abemaciclib alone and anastrozole alone in the tumors of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer.
NCT01172938
The purpose of this study is to determine whether apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis, specifically in improving signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function) in treated patients.
NCT01993186
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of UX007 compared to placebo as measured by the reduction from randomization to Week 8 in frequency of seizures and to evaluate the safety of UX007 via adverse event (AE) rates, laboratory values, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
NCT03326752
This open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion trial is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of inhaled DV281 in combination with nivolumabfor the treatment of NSCLC and to select a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
NCT03088956
The objectives of the study are to; (1) estimate the change in disease -related cognitive decline over 1 year on a battery of cognitive tests administered to participants with early-stage symptomatic Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) phenotypic variant; (2) identify the cognitive test or brief battery of cognitive tests which are the most sensitive to detect bvFTD progression; (3) determine the optimal schedule of administration of cognitive tests to detect bvFTD progression; (4) evaluate the relationship between cognitive tests and measures of behavior, function, caregiver's burden, quality of life (QOL); and (5) obtain blood samples for genetic and exploratory biomarkers correlations.
NCT03864328
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive life-threatening disease that is characterized by exertional dyspnea and persistent dry cough. Cough in IPF is both a presenting and a complicating clinical feature, which affects approximately three quarters of IPF cases. It is often a debilitating symptom that adversely affects quality of life (QoL) and is usually refractory to medical therapy. Inhaled RVT-1601 (formerly, PA101B), a new inhalation formulation of cromolyn sodium delivered via the eFlow® Closed System (CS) nebulizer, is being evaluated in this Phase 2b study for the treatment of persistent cough in patients with IPF.
NCT02415400
The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
NCT00456092
This study is to look at the preliminary efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of apremilast (20 mg twice a day and 40 mg once a day) versus placebo in patients with active psoriatic arthritis.
NCT00824265

NCT01315678
A major factor in the respiratory health of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) participants is the prevalence of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infections. The Pa infection rate in CF patients increases with age and by age 18 years approximately 85% of CF patients in the US are infected. Liposomal amikacin for inhalation (Arikayce™) was developed as a possible treatment for chronic infection due to Pa in CF patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Arikayce™ is effective in treating chronic lung infections caused by Pa in CF participants. The effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Arikayce™ will be compared to Tobramycin TOBI®, an inhalation antibiotic already available for use.
NCT03132428
Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries to the lungs. It is a serious condition. It causes the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs to become hard and narrow. When this happens, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood through. Some babies are born with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Doctors might use INOmax (a gas the baby breathes) to help newborn babies (neonates) with PH. This study will use information from the records of registered babies to see how effective and safe INOmax is for treating premature and other newborn babies for up to 11 days after they are born.
NCT01290029
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cinacalcet after a single oral dose in children aged 28 days to less than 6 years with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis.
NCT03166735
The primary objective of this study is the proof of mechanism and support of dose finding, together with the safety evaluation in patients with clinical evidence of NASH. To gain further insight into clinical effects of AOC3 inhibition on NASH further exploratory analyses of biomarkers related to NASH and liver fibrosis will be performed. This will include the effect of BI 1467335 on reduction of secondary biomarker endpoints (ALT, AST, AP, γ-GT and CK18 fragments). Safety will be assessed throughout the study to provide key information regarding the use of BI 1467335 in patients with NASH.
