NCT02189291
Objectives The objective of this study is to help identify the best practice regarding the use of indwelling catheter after minimally invasive urogynecologic surgery. Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing the immediate removal of indwelling urethral catheter, after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, to the present standard catheter removal on post operative day one. Evidence based catheter management will be helpful to both providers and patients in post-operative decision making. Specific Aims Aim 1: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy results in shorter hospital stay than removal on postoperative day 1. Aim 2: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy confers no increased risk of re-catheterization. Aim 3: To demonstrate that immediate removal of catheter after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy decreases the occurrence of urinary tract infection. Design A randomized controlled trial comparing the standard overnight indwelling urethral catheterization with removal of catheter immediately post surgery after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, at Oregon Health \& Science University. Outcome measures Primary outcome measures are hospital stay in hours after completion of surgery and need for re-catheterization. Hospital stay will be counted from the time the patient leaves the operating room to the time she leaves the hospital. To avoid confounding, investigators are only including the first / morning case of the day. For re-catheterization, investigators will evaluate if patient was able to void after completion of surgery. Investigators will compare the post voiding residuals, the need for re-catheterizations and the numbers of patients going home with an indwelling catheter between the two groups. Investigators will also compare the number of urinary tract infections, as documented by urine culture and subsequent treatment, between the two groups. Study Subjects Study subjects will be women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. Women will be invited to participate in the study during their preoperative visit. If they agree to participation, this will be noted in their chart. Randomization to group will occur immediately following surgery.
NCT02614612
To determine if Itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids is safe and tolerable in patients with Grade IIB-IVD acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
NCT02003898
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Threshold Suspend (TS) feature of the Medtronic MiniMed® 530G insulin pump in patients 16 and older with insulin requiring diabetes.
NCT01822132
The purpose of this protocol is to learn more about impulsive decision making in people who use methamphetamines. The investigators would like to know if a medication called naltrexone changes how people make decisions. The investigators would also like to know whether changes in decision making can be observed by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). The research is conducted in Portland, OR.
NCT00854100
This is an outpatient study to evaluate the safety, and efficacy of RGH-188 as an add-on therapy to standard antidepressants in patients who did not respond to previous antidepressant therapy.
NCT00986154
Evaluation of heparin/edoxaban tosylate (DU176b) versus heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of blood clots in patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein blood clots in the legs and/or blood clots in the lungs.
NCT00734539
The most common etiology of infection-related death or neurodevelopmental impairment in neonates with birthweight \<750 g is invasive candidiasis. Over 70% of the premature neonates who develop invasive candidiasis will die or suffer severe, permanent neurologic impairment. Fluconazole has been commonly used off-label in the neonatal intensive care unit, but definitive recommendations for its use in the nursery have been hampered by the limited number of well-designed trials. In neonates weighing \<750 g, appropriate dosing is not known, definitive safety and long-term follow up trials have not been completed, and there have not been well-powered trials conducted to establish the efficacy of the product using mortality as part of the primary endpoint. Three recent proof-of-concept studies suggest that fluconazole will be safe and effective, and a recently completed pharmacokinetic study is providing data to give preliminary dosing guidance. The next logical step in drug development is proposed by this research: to conduct a pivotal trial to determine the safety and efficacy of fluconazole in premature neonates with 2-year neurodevelopmental follow-up assessment. 362 neonates, with a birthweight \<750g, were randomized at 33 US centers, to twice weekly fluconazole (6 mg/kg) or placebo for the first 6 weeks of life. The primary efficacy endpoint will be Candida-free survival at study day 49. The research will establish definitive dosing, safety, and efficacy of fluconazole; it will also provide critical information on the effects of fluconazole on neurodevelopmental impairment and antifungal resistance. Potential Impact: Approximately 17,000 neonates are born \<750 grams each year in the United States. Over 5000 will die or develop invasive Candida infections. Demonstrating safety and efficacy of fluconazole in preterm neonates will improve the survivability and long term outcomes for these neonates.
NCT01076348
Safety and effectiveness will be summarized for the model 4965 lead. This study was conducted within Medtronic's System Longevity Study (SLS).
NCT02030301
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of two experimental therapeutic vaccines against herpes simplex virus, type 2 (HSV-2).
NCT01785771
An 39-week plus extensions, open-label study to estimate the reduction in HbA1c in patients with initial HbA1c \>10% \</=12% who are treated with ITCA 650 20 mcg/day for 13 weeks followed by ITCA 650 60 mcg/day for 26 weeks plus optional 26-week extensions with continued treatment with ITCA 650 60 mcg/day
NCT01200394
PF-00489791 is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5. Our hypothesis is that PF-00489791 will enhance the relaxation of blood vessels within the kidney and so reduce blood pressure, improving renal function.
NCT00257231
The purpose of this study is to help improve our understanding of the biology involved in the body's response to serious trauma or burn injury. The host response to trauma and burns is a collection of physiological and pathophysiological processes that depend critically upon the regulation of the human innate immune system, with particular emphasis on the inflammatory component of that system. No single research center or small group of centers has the capacity to delineate the integrated response of this complex biological system, which involves multiple molecular and genetic interactions that vary in time. Our proposal promotes the identification of important dynamic relationships that regulate the integration of this complex biological system, with the expectation that this understanding will ultimately impact the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of the hospitalized, severely injured patient.
NCT03865576
For purposes of validation, this study compares intracranial pressure measurements obtained with a novel self-calibrating, non-invasive, intracranial pressure measuring (ICP) device, with the values obtained from (a) patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) whose meet standard clinical indications for ICP measurement and whose ICP is measured using gold-standard implanted intracranial instrumentation and in (b) ambulatory subjects who meet clinical indications for lumbar puncture.

NCT01372787
This clinical trial studies the quality of life and care needs of patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Studying quality of life in patients with cancer may help determine the effects of gynecologic cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors.
NCT01176266
This clinical trial was conducted to study hypophosphatasia (HPP), a bone disorder caused by gene mutations or changes. These gene mutations cause low levels of an enzyme needed to harden bone. The purpose of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of a study drug called asfotase alfa (human recombinant tissue non-specific alkaline phosphate fusion protein) to see what effects it has on patients 5 years of age or less with HPP.
