Treatment ResistAnt Depression Subcallosal CingulatE Network DBS (TRANSCEND)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral stimulation of the subcallosal cingulate white matter (SCCwm) using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as an adjunctive treatment of non-psychotic unipolar Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults.
Tracking the Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease using the APT Webstudy
The Alzheimer Prevention Trials (APT) Webstudy is designed to accelerate enrollment into Alzheimer’s clinical trials by identifying and tracking individuals online, who may be at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that 5.5 million Americans age 65 and older are currently living with Alzheimer’s dementia. It’s believed these numbers will increase by almost 30% to over 7 million people by 2025, where it’s the only top 10 cause of death that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed. The APT Webstudy is open to anyone over the age of 50. The goal of the APT Webstudy is to develop an online group of individuals who will allow their memory and thinking test scores to be tracked over time. Participants will have the opportunity to take online tests to assess their memory and thinking skills, gain access to their scores, and be notified of opportunities for in-person assessments and clinical trials aimed at preventing dementia. These in-person visits will be offered through the closest clinical site to participants.
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo And Active‑Controlled, Multicenter, Parallel‑Group Study Of The Analgesic Efficacy And Safety Of Tanezumab In Adult Subjects With Chronic Low Back Pain
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo and active controlled, multicenter, parallel
group Phase 3 study of the efficacy and safety of tanezumab when administered by SC
injection for up to 56 weeks in subjects with chronic low back pain. Approximately 1800
subjects will be randomized to 1 of 4 treatment groups in a 2:2:2:3 ratio (ie, 400 subjects
per treatment group for the placebo, tanezumab 5 mg and tanezumab 10 mg treatment groups and
600 subjects in the tramadol PR treatment group). Treatment groups will include: 1.) Placebo
administered SC at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR up to Week 16. At
the Week 16 visit, subjects in this group who meet the efficacy responder criteria will be
switched in a blinded fashion in a 1:1 ratio to either tanezumab 5 mg or tanezumab 10 mg
administered SC at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR to Week 56;
2.)Tanezumab 5 mg SC administered at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR to
Week 56; 3.) Tanezumab 10 mg SC administered at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching
tramadol PR to Week 56; 4.) Oral tramadol PR plus placebo administered SC at an 8 week
interval to Week 56. The study is designed with a total duration (post randomization) of up
to 80 weeks and will consist of three periods: Screening (up to a maximum of 37 days;
includes a Washout Period and an Initial Pain Assessment Period), a Double blind Treatment
Period (comprised of a 16 week Primary Efficacy Phase and a 40 week Long Term Safety and
Efficacy Phase), and a Follow up Period (24 weeks). The Screening Period (beginning up to 37
days prior to Randomization) includes a Washout Period (lasting 2 32 days), if required, and
an Initial Pain Assessment Period (the 5 days prior to Randomization/Baseline). Prior to
entering the study, subjects must have a documented history of previous inadequate treatment
response to medications in 3 different categories of agents commonly used to treat and
generally considered effective for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
