NCT02006134
Childhood chronic vasculitis describes a group of rare life-threatening diseases that have in common inflammation of blood vessels in vital organs such as kidneys, lungs and brain. Most knowledge about them comes from adult patients. Severe disease requires aggressive life-saving treatments with steroids and some cancer drugs which can themselves cause damage, and increase risks of cancer and severe infections. Conversely, milder disease can be treated with less toxic drugs. Different classification and "scoring tools" are used to define the types and severity of vasculitis and to measure damage caused by disease or drugs. These in turn help direct how aggressively to treat a patient and to measure outcome. None of these tools however have been assessed in children and the best balance of disease and treatment risks against outcome for children is not known. Although causes of these diseases in children and adults are probably the same, the effects of the disease and the response (good and bad) to drugs will differ in growing children. Because specialists may see only one new child with vasculitis each year, obtaining enough information to learn about childhood vasculitis requires cooperation. We will use an international web-based registry to which doctors from 50 or more centers can contribute patient data. We will determine the features which help better classify and diagnose children compared to adults. Through the web we will collect and analyze information on patients similarly classified and "scored" so that most successful treatments can be identified. Children with vasculitis are less likely to have diseases associated with aging, alcohol and smoking etc., and therefore may be a better group in whom to study the underlying biology of vasculitis. We will use this opportunity and collect spit, blood and tissue from registry patients for laboratory study with an aim to find biomarkers to better classify, define and direct optimal treatment and outcomes.
NCT05152953
BACKGROUND: Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) is poised to revolutionize HIV treatment and prevention. Community pharmacies could serve as another place for people with HIV to get their ART injections. However, pharmacist and healthcare practitioner attitudes towards pharmacist administration of LAI-ART are understudied. Financial and human resources, pharmacist training, or changes in workflow have not been outlined. Little is known about whether patients will accept ART injections given in pharmacies. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project is to address the above knowledge gaps. The information generated can assist in the development of tools that can help scale community pharmacy-based delivery of LAI-ART. METHODS: Using a mixed-methods approach to better understand the pre-implementation environment, the study will employ electronic surveys and will administer semi-structured interviews via telephone for three key stakeholder groups: HIV clinic staff members, community pharmacists, and persons with HIV. Surveys will assess the appropriateness, acceptability, and feasibility of LAI-ART administration in community pharmacies. A semi-structured interview guide has been developed using constructs from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Comparisons between and across stakeholder groups will be performed, looking for common themes as well as discrepancies.

NCT06146738
There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of patients with high-grade glioma, especially when patients have limited functioning performance at presentation (KPS ≤70). Therefore, there are varied practice patterns around pursuing biopsy, resection, or palliation (best supportive care). This study aims to characterize the impact of palliative care versus biopsy versus resection on survival and quality of life in these patients. Also, it will aim to determine if there is a subset of patients that benefit the most from resection or biopsy, for which outcome, and how they could be identified preoperatively. This study is an international, multicenter, prospective, 3-arm cohort study of observational nature. Consecutive HGG patients will be treated with palliative care, biopsy, or resection at a 1:3:3 ratio. Primary endpoints are: 1) overall survival, and 2) quality of life at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after initial presentation based on the EQ-5D, EORTC QLQ C30 and EORTC BN 20 questionnaires. Total duration of the study is 5 years. Patient inclusion is 4 years, follow-up is 1 year.

This investigation is a prospective, nonrandomized multicenter clinical trial evaluating the outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) requiring concomitant open heart surgery plus the Cardioblate Surgical Ablation System using the modified Maze III procedure. The trial population includes patients requiring valve replacements or repairs, atrial septal defect (ASD) repairs, patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures. The study objectives are to demonstrate that the Medtronic Cardioblate Surgical Ablation System can safely and effectively treat persistent AF patients.
NCT04132284
The purpose of the present study is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) of an 8-10 session DBT-based parenting intervention (DBT PI) plus standard Dialectical Behavior Therapy delivered in the context of an intensive outpatient program (DBT IOP) to DBT IOP alone. The long term goal of the research is to determine if augmenting standard DBT with additional parenting intervention improves youth treatment response on suicide-related outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury and suicide attempts). The goal of this pilot RCT is to collect preliminary data needed for a larger RCT, including feasibility, acceptability, safety, tolerability, engagement of the presumed mechanism of change (changes in parent emotions and behaviors) and signal detection of any changes in youth suicide-related outcomes.
NCT03367923
This randomized phase II trial studies how well a health and recovery program works in increasing physical activity level in stage IA-IIIA endometrial cancer survivors. Health and recovery program which includes exercise counseling, Fitbit tracker, and phone or email/text communication may increase the level of physical activity in endometrial cancer survivors and promote and maintain behavior change at a lower cost.
NCT04107064
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have significantly higher levels of unemployment and underemployment compared to their typically developing peers and all other groups with neurodevelopmental disorders, even though major companies that have employed and trained young people with ASD acclaim their significant innovations in their companies. The investigators hope to examine the effects of specialized employment support programs, over current traditional vocational rehabilitation approaches, for adults with ASD on their ability to maintain steady employment and overall benefit to the organizations at which they will be employed. The investigators predict that Stanford University's Neurodiversity at Work (NaW) Program will improve employment outcomes and positively impact the overall quality of life of individuals with ASD in this program. The investigators hope that the findings of the study will lead to the advancement of programs aimed to support individuals with ASD.
NCT01135199
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of pomalidomide over a 12 week duration in the treatment of chronic cough in patients with IPF as measured by a Cough Symptom Diary, Visual Analogue Scale for Cough Severity, Leicester Cough Questionnaire, St. George Respiratory Questionnaire, Cough-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire, and adverse event reporting. There will be an option open to participants, who respond to treatment by meeting pre-determined criteria, to remain in the study for an additional 9 months or for a total of 54 weeks.
NCT04140396
The current cornerstone of pain control for rib fractures is oral and intravenous opioids, especially in the form of patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA), which are are associated with multiple adverse effects including sedation, respiratory depression, cough suppression, and increased risk of delirium. In the past few decades, intravenous lidocaine infusion (IVL) has emerged as a new tool in the arsenal of multimodal analgesia. Multiple randomized clinical trials have indicated that IVL is overall well tolerated and have shown other beneficial effects such as anti-inflammatory properties. To this date, there have been no published randomized clinical trials (RCT) evaluating the effectiveness of IVL in management of traumatic rib fracture pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether IV Lidocaine infusion can provide improved pain control as demonstrated by decreased OME consumption at 24 and 48 hours compared to placebo in adult patients with acute traumatic rib fractures.
NCT02551679

NCT05044234
Psoriasis is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation and thickening of the skin that results in thick, scaly skin plaques. This study assessed how safe and effective cedirogant (ABBV-157) was compared to placebo in adult participants with moderate to severe psoriasis. Efficacy and safety-related measurements assessed disease activity in participants with plaque psoriasis. Cedirogant (ABBV-157) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. Participants were put into 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms and each group received a different treatment. There was a 1 in 4 chance that participants were assigned to placebo. Participants received oral daily doses of cedirogant or placebo capsules for 16 weeks. There may have been a higher burden for participants in this study compared to usual standard of care. Participants attended regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment was checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.
NCT04007367
This is a study with an Open-Label (OL) phase followed by a randomized, Double-Blind (DB), placebo-controlled phase to assess efficacy and safety of SAGE-217 on relapse prevention in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).
NCT02004275
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pomalidomide and ixazomib when given together with dexamethasone and to see how well pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without ixazomib works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Biological therapies, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether pomalidomide and dexamethasone are more effective with or without ixazomib in treating multiple myeloma.
