NCT05822583
COVID-19 can trigger a dysregulated immune response, and previous studies have shown that immune modulation can improve outcomes in hospitalized patients. This trial is designed to determine whether intensification of immune modulation early in the course of the disease (while patients are on low flow oxygen) with abatacept (active arm) combined with standard of care (SOC) improves recovery as compared with placebo + SOC (placebo arm). For both groups, intensification of immunomodulation will be provided as part of SOC in case of signs of disease progression (patient requires high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or more support) and/or if the patient has rapidly increasing oxygen requirement.
NCT03575195
The clinical phenotype of Parkinson's disease (PD) is quite variable, as is the response to and side effects from medications. While many patients respond to carbidopa/levodopa early on, motor fluctuations and dyskinesias can become a problem as the condition progresses, causing significant impairment in function and quality of life. The gut microbiome is of increasing interest in PD, potentially contributing to pathophysiology and clinical phenotype. Furthermore, gut bacteria are capable of metabolizing levodopa, which may decrease its ability to reach the central nervous system and could explain the variable effect seen clinically. Altering the population of drug-metabolizing bacteria could improve the clinical symptoms of PD and the benefit seen with medications. The investigators hypothesize that the gut microbiome in people with PD correlates with their phenotypic characteristics, which can be improved with targeting the microbiome through dietary or therapeutic interventions. The investigators propose a two-part clinical trial. First, a cross-sectional analysis will correlate the microbiome profile with (a) the clinical phenotype of PD and (b) medication response. Second, a randomized, controlled trial, will evaluate the effect of microbiome manipulation on clinical phenotype and medication response. The investigators plan to reduce the level of bacteria through antibiotic use, resetting the potentially disadvantageous microbiome population. Outcomes will include changes in clinical symptoms, alterations in the the microbiome, and changes in serum markers of inflammation. This thorough characterization will broaden our understanding of the gut-brain axis significantly in PD in clinically relevant ways that have yet to be explored.
NCT03635788
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and durability of two different strategies to treat participants with a history of sub-optimal adherence and control of their HIV infection: long-acting (LA) antiretroviral therapy (ART) and all-oral standard of care (SOC).
NCT05669365
The Care Ecosystem is an accessible, remotely delivered team-based dementia care model, designed to add value for patients, providers and payers in complex organizational and reimbursement structures. Care is delivered via the phone and web by unlicensed Care Team Navigators, who are trained and supervised by a team of dementia specialists with nursing, social work, and pharmacy expertise. The evidence base to date suggests that the Care Ecosystem improves outcomes important to people with dementia, caregivers, and payers when delivered in a controlled research environment, including reduced emergency department visits, higher quality of life for patients, lower caregiver depression, and reduced potentially inappropriate medication use (Possin et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2022). The investigators propose a rapid pragmatic trial in 6 health systems currently offering the Care Ecosystem program in geographically and culturally diverse populations. The investigators will leverage technology, delivering care via the phone and web and using electronic health records to monitor quality improvements and evaluate outcomes while maximizing external validity. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of the Care Ecosystem on outcomes important to patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and health systems during the pandemic. By evaluating the real-world effectiveness in diverse health systems that are already providing this model of care, this project will bridge the science-practice gap in dementia care during an unprecedented time of heightened strain on family caregivers, healthcare providers and health systems.
NCT06142019
The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxygen. This study will be done on healthy male or females between the age group of 18-50.
NCT07090083
This proposal addresses a critical gap in our understanding of the impact of household food insecurity (FI) on pediatric metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) severity. There is evidence that children in families that do not have the ability to provide consistently healthy and high-quality foods, such as fruits and vegetables, have worse diet quality that children in households that are food secure. Additionally, evidence from adult studies link household FI to MASLD and liver fibrosis, and prior research of the PI has shown that exposure to household FI in early childhood was associated with a nearly 4 times increased odds of pediatric MASLD in middle childhood. Possible mechanisms linking household FI to pediatric MASLD include lower intake of fruits and vegetables, higher intake of caloric dense nutrient poor foods (e.g., sugar sweetened beverages), and less diversity of foods. Given consensus recommendations for the management of MASLD focus on lifestyle modification, i.e., diet and exercise to achieve weight loss, this proposal seeks to explore the association of household FI and pediatric MASLD disease severity and whether those effects are mediated by dietary intake. Study participants include children/adolescents with MASLD who are receiving care at UCSF's liver clinic and Weight Management for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Clinic, a pediatric subspecialty clinic.

NCT01828320
There is an urgent need to identify modifiable mechanisms contributing to risk and vulnerability among youth. The investigators test the hypothesis that eveningness, the tendency to go to sleep late and wake late, is an important contributor to, and even cause of, vicious cycles that escalate vulnerability and risk among youth. This study seeks to determine whether two interventions to reduce eveningness can reduce risk and confer resilience in critical aspects of health, development and functioning in youth.
NCT06848075

NCT03874117
The study will determine the efficacy of twice weekly hemodialysis in patients with residual kidney function.
NCT03331796
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Group 1: Active Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) rTMS; Group 2: Active Lateral Parietal Cortex (LPC) rTMS; and Group 3: Inactive rTMS (Placebo) control (evenly split between each coil location). Participation in the study takes approximately 7 ½ months-including a 2-to 4-week treatment phase (20 rTMS sessions) and a 6-month follow-up phase.
NCT05576662
The purpose of this study is to compare whether being treated with nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir for 15 days works better than being treated with placebo plus ritonavir to reduce severe symptoms of Long Covid. Participants will have 5 planned visits to the study clinic over 15 weeks and will take the drug (or placebo) for the first 15 days. This study uses the term post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), which is another name for "Long Covid."
NCT05014568

NCT04968184
This Phase 3, randomized, Double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel-group, multicenter study with randomized withdrawal will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and durability of KBP-5074 in adult participants who have stage 3b/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration \[CKD-EPI\] formula \[eGFR {EPI}\] ≥15 to ≤44 mL/min/1.73 m\^2) and uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 and \<180 mm Hg and taking 2 or more antihypertensive medications.
NCT04978493
This study is open to adults, aged 18-75 years, with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. The purpose of this study is to find out whether BI 706321 combined with ustekinumab helps people with Crohn's disease. BI 706321 is a medicine being developed to treat Crohn's disease. Ustekinumab is a medicine already used to treat Crohn's disease. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group gets BI 706321 and ustekinumab. The other group gets placebo and ustekinumab. Participants take BI 706321 or placebo as tablets every day. Placebo tablets look like BI 706321 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Ustekinumab is given as an infusion into a vein once at the beginning of the study. After that, ustekinumab is given as an injection under the skin every 2 months. Participants take BI 706321 or placebo in combination with ustekinumab for 3 months. After that, participants receive only ustekinumab for another 9 months. Participants are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 13 times. At 3 of the visits, doctors do a colonoscopy to examine the bowel. The results from the colonoscopies are compared between the 2 groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
NCT04736667
This study aims to examine the clinical profile/anatomical characteristics and natural history of patients who subsequently fail screening for transcatheter mitral valve intervention (TMVI).
NCT06308614
The goal of this clinical trial is investigating estetrol (E4) in women after menopause, suffering from sexual arousal disorder. The main question it aims to answer is: is 20 mg estetrol monohydrate effective in the treatment of sexual arousal disorder in women after their menopause. Participants will visit the clinic 7 times and complete a daily diary while receiving estetrol or placebo for 12 weeks. Placebo is a pill that looks the same as estetrol but has no active ingredient. Researchers will compare estetrol and placebo to see if estetrol has an effect on the sexual arousal of the participants.
NCT07140939
A phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CBL-514 injection for reducing abdominal subcutaneous fat.
NCT07148739
This clinical trial is examining the action and effects of several new drugs in the treatment of cystic fibrosis in children. In addition, several genetic factors are examined. The hope is that the ability to determine prior to treatment those individuals who will or will not respond to existing therapies will avoid needless risk of side effects and the high cost of a potentially ineffective treatment regimen. Understanding the way these drugs work in the body and the best way to study them is critical to expanding the use of these drugs to all patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).
