All subjects undergo the following: Baseline, Randomization, (Implantation & Optimization for subjects randomized to the active therapy), and Follow-up Period, followed by an Extension period, which lasts until the end of the study. The Clinical Events Committee (CEC) and Data Monitoring...
Observational study to collect F/U imaging & clinical endpoint data from pts. who successfully completed baseline coronary IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) imaging in the dal-PLAQUE 2 (DP2) study to determine the correlation & clinical relevance of such imaging as related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Pts. who have had baseline angiography/IVUS,...
This study is complementary to a multi-center, randomized, double-blind,parallel-group, placebo-controlled, variable treatment duration study comparing the efficacy and safety of BAF312 to placebo in patients with SPMS (NCT01665144). Investigators will explore both immunological and neuroprotective mechanisms of BAF312 (siponimod), a novel agent in the setting of a SPMS clinical trial....
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic CoreValve® System (MCS) in a subset of subjects excluded from the U.S. Extreme Risk Pivotal Trial population due to one or more additional co-morbidities, as measured by a composite of all-cause death or major...
Prospective observational drug registry developed to characterize the safety profile (including primarily potential serious hepatic risks) and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting.
This study is examining the effects of a hormone called oxytocin on smoking. Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone in the brain and throughout the body In this study, oxytocin is experimental and is in the form of a nasal spray. We hope to learn if oxytocin nasal spray will...
The study consists of a Phase1b lead-in portion to determine the MTD of OMP-59R5 in combination with EP for 6 cycles followed a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled portion comparing the efficacy and safety of OMP-59R5 in combination with EP for 6 cycles followed by single agent OMP-59R5 relative to...
BACKGROUND: Evidence supporting a routine invasive practice paradigm for patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) is outdated. In strategy trials conducted in the 1970s, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improved survival as compared with no CABG in SIHD patients with high-risk anatomic features. The relevance of these studies today...
Skin diseases account for 30% of all physician office visits. In the United States, access to dermatologists remains a significant challenge for those in underserved or rural communities. To increase access to specialists and improve patient outcomes, we will evaluate a team-based connected health (TCH) model that enables structured asynchronous...
The PORTICO pivotal IDE trial will include a randomized cohort of 750 subjects enrolled at up to 70 investigational sites in the United States and Australia. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive the SJM Portico Transcatheter Heart Valve and Delivery Systems (Portico) or any FDA-approved, commercially-available Transcatheter Aortic Valve...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the fluid biopsy in establishing a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the accuracy of determination of the histologic subtype of bronchogenic lung cancer. II. To determine the relative contribution of cell based high definition circulating tumor...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Develop blood sample collection and preparation procedures for reliable, meaningful metabolomic profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by liquid chromatography/quadruple-time of flight/mass spectrometry (LC/Q-TOF/MS) that can be implemented in a clinical setting. II. Optimize data analysis methods and software usage to create a metabolic profile for...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES; I. Identify changes in immune system parameters in patients receiving immunotherapies (including immune checkpoint inhibitors, immunostimulatory/immunomodulatory agents, cellular therapies, stem cell transplantation) and compare to changes in patients receiving conventional chemotherapy, targeted-agent therapy, and healthy normal volunteers using multiparameter flow cytometry, time-of-flight mass cytometry, cytokine quantification, functional analysis...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients before and after receiving hematologic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). II. Identify molecular changes (germline variants and somatic mutations) that contribute to shaping the TCR repertoire. OUTLINE: Patents undergo collection of blood samples before, on...
Many antiretroviral therapy (ART) medications given to a pregnant woman cross the placenta and can be detected in the amniotic fluid and cord blood resulting in substantial fetal exposure. Therefore, there is concern about toxicity of the drugs in the fetus and infant. It is noteworthy that none of the...
Target enrollment is 1000 prospectively enrolled subjects with an initial negative biopsy scheduled for repeat biopsy. Subjects must have had their negative index prostate biopsy procedure within 30 months of being scheduled for their repeat biopsy. All enrolled subjects will have all core tissues from the initial negative biopsy blinded...
I-SPY2 will assess the efficacy of novel drugs in sequence with standard chemotherapy. The goal is identify treatment strategies for subsets on the basis of molecular characteristics (biomarker signatures) of their disease with high estimated pCR rate. As described for previous adaptive trials, novel regimens with sufficiently high activities alone...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and feasibility of short term fasting in combination with PD-1 inhibition therapy for patients with advanced malignancy. Ia. To estimate the percentage of patients who adhere completely to short term fasting (STF) in combination with PD-1 inhibition therapy for 3 cycles. Ib. To...
HB-201 and HB-202 are study drugs which are designed to train the body to recognize and fight substances found in HPV 16+ cancer. This trial studies the safety and anti-cancer effect of HB-201 and HB-202 in people. The trial is enrolling patients with metastatic/recurrent head and neck cancer who have...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To estimate the positive predictive value within each of the early stage testicular seminoma and nonseminoma groups using plasma miRNA 371 expression at relapse to detect germ cell malignancy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To bank prospectively obtained serial liquid biospecimens for low and moderate risk of relapse patients...
