NCT ID: NCT03017638 Completed - Block Clinical Trials

Analgesic Efficacy of Quadaratus Lumborum Block (QLB) for Laparoscopic Colectomy Surgery: A Prospective Case Control Trial to Evaluate Clinical Outcomes

Start date: February 27, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Pain after abdominal surgery can be extensive. Pain control is an important component of patient comfort and participation in rehabilitation. Multimodal analgesia methods have shown to reduce postoperative pain, and have been addressed to be a crucial part of the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a posterior abdominal wall block which analgesic efficacy has been shown for abdominal surgeries, and also for different laparoscopic procedures, such as ovarian surgery. The aim of this study is to assess QLB's analgesic efficacy for laparoscopic colectomy surgeries, using serial pain score assessments and overall opioid consumption; its effect on patient satisfaction; and its effect on the development of postoperative respiratory complications. This study is a prospective clinical trial assessing the effect of application of QLB as a regional analgesic technique for primary laparoscopic colectomy, in comparison to a historical retrospective cohort.

NCT ID: NCT03016052 Completed - Clinical trials for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Visual Mismatch Negativity in Attention Bias Modifcation Treatment for Anxiety

Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

this study examines the emergence of the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) ERP component in response to deviations from the embedded contingency in attention bias modification treatment (ABMT) for social and generalized anxiety, and the interaction between vMMN emergence and clinical improvement. ***As of September 2017, recruitment of SAD participants has concluded.

Start date: February 10, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of setmelanotide (RM-493) on weight, hunger assessments, and other factors in participants with rare genetic disorders of obesity.

NCT ID: NCT03012698 Completed - Dry Eye Clinical Trials

Pilot Study for Testing Safety of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment of Dry Eye

Start date: November 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study aims to test the safety of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation (RMS) treatment for dry eye disease. Patients are asked to undergo a one-time treatment with Epitech Ocular Magnetic Stimulation Device on one eye in the first stage and both eyes sequentially in the second stage of the study. Changes are monitored for over a study period of 3 months.

NCT ID: NCT03011515 Completed - Pneumonia Clinical Trials

Evaluating a Host-response Based Diagnostic for Distinguishing Between Bacterial and Viral Etiology in Patients With Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI)

OBSERVER
Start date: March 10, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to validate the diagnostic accuracy of a novel host-response based diagnostic tool for differentiating between bacterial and viral etiologies in adult patients aged 18 years and older with clinical suspicion of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI)

NCT ID: NCT03010176 Completed - Lymphoma Clinical Trials

Study of Ulevostinag (MK-1454) Alone or in Combination With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Participants With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors or Lymphomas (MK-1454-001)

Start date: February 3, 2017
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) of ulevostinag alone and of ulevostinag in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced/metastatic solid tumors or lymphomas in Part 1, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ulevostinag via intratumoral (IT) injection in combination with pembrolizumab in selected solid tumors in Part 2. Ulevostinag will be administered IT; pembrolizumab (pembro) will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion. In Part 1, participants will be allocated to one of three treatment arms: ulevostinag monotherapy (cutaneous/subcutaneous [cut/subcut] lesions), ulevostinag +pembro (cut/subcut lesions), or ulevostinag +pembro (visceral lesions). In Part 2, participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who are anti-programmed cell death-protein 1 or anti-programmed cell death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) refractory or with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment (TrT)-naïve triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 TrT-naïve solid tumors with liver metastases/lesions will receive ulevostinag via IT injection at the preliminary Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) determined in Part 1 PLUS pembrolizumab via IV infusion for up 35 cycles (up approximately 2 years).

NCT ID: NCT03009396 Completed - Crohn Disease Clinical Trials

Open Label Efficacy and Safety of Anti-MAP (Mycobacterium Avium Ssp. Paratuberculosis) Therapy in Adult Crohn's Disease

MAPUS2
Start date: March 18, 2017
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

An open label extension to the RHB-104-01 Study.

NCT ID: NCT03008603 Completed - Clinical trials for CT-guided Minimally Invasive Procedures e.g., Biopsies

Evaluation of the Safety, Effectiveness & Usability of the XACT Robotic System for Image Guided Percutaneous Procedures

Start date: September 4, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective, single-arm study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and usability of the XACT device. Subjects undergoing CT-guided, minimally invasive percutaneous procedures in the interventional radiology suite, e.g., core biopsy, will participate in the summary. Clinical accuracy will be the primary efficacy endpoint. Usability and safety will also be evaluated.

NCT ID: NCT03005145 Completed - Sepsis Clinical Trials

Bacteremia Antibiotic Length Actually Needed for Clinical Effectiveness

BALANCE
Start date: February 24, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (AMMI) Canada, and Health Canada have all declared antimicrobial resistance a global threat to health, based on rapidly increasing resistance rates and declining new drug development. Up to 30-50% of antibiotic use is inappropriate, and excessive durations of treatment are the greatest contributor to inappropriate use. Shorter duration treatment (≤7 days) has been shown in meta-analyses to be as effective as longer antibiotic treatment for a range of mild to moderate infections. A landmark trial in critically ill patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia showed that mortality and relapse rates were non-inferior in patients who received 8 vs 15 days of treatment. Similar adequately powered randomized trial evidence is lacking for the treatment of patients with bloodstream infections caused by a wide spectrum of organisms.
