NCT ID: NCT04004299 Recruiting - HIV-1-infection Clinical Trials

Self-testing for HCV Re-infection in MSM

SELFIE
Start date: July 18, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

HIV+MSM (men who have sex with men) that have been cured of a hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) are at risk for HCV re-infection (5-10% per year). One intervention to reduce HCV incidence in this population may be to decrease the time to diagnosis of HCV re-infections in order to decrease the duration that these re-infected patients may transmit their HCV to sex partners. Diagnosis of HCV re-infection is followed by counseling on transmission risk in combination with prompt initiation of HCV therapy, which will prevent new HCV infections on the population level. In this study the investigators evaluate the effect and feasibility of more frequent and home-based testing for HCV on the time to diagnosis and treatment of HCV re-infections.

NCT ID: NCT04004208 Completed - Clinical trials for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

Aflibercept for Retinopathy of Prematurity - Intravitreal Injection Versus Laser Therapy

FIREFLEYE
Start date: September 25, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how well aflibercept works in babies with ROP, comparing it with laser therapy. The study also has the objective to demonstrate how safe aflibercept is when used in babies, and describe how the drug moves into, through and out of the body.

NCT ID: NCT04004065 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Two-Part Study for Dose Determination of Vesleteplirsen (SRP-5051) (Part A), Then Dose Efficacy (Part B) in Participants With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 51-Skipping Treatment

MOMENTUM
Start date: June 26, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will be comprised of 2 parts: 1) Part A (Multiple Ascending Dose [MAD]) will be conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of vesleteplirsen at MAD levels to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and 2) Part B will be conducted to further evaluate the vesleteplirsen doses selected in Part A. Participants enrolling in Part B will be those who completed Part A or Study 5051-102 (NCT03675126) and meet applicable eligibility criteria for Part B, as well as additional participants who meet applicable eligibility criteria for enrollment at the beginning of Part B.

UniPOWR
Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the limited efficacy of these innovative surgical solutions in treatment of Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) in terms of maintaining reduction while maintaining spinal growth. The secondary aim is to compare both devices for these and other parameters as well as safety.

NCT ID: NCT04001517 Completed - Clinical trials for Dementia With Lewy Bodies (DLB)

Cognitive Effects of Oral p38 Alpha Kinase Inhibitor Neflamapimod in Dementia With Lewy Bodies

AscenD-LB
Start date: September 30, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-principle study of neflamapimod versus matching placebo (randomized 1:1) administered with food for 16 weeks in subjects with DLB. The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of neflamapimod on cognitive function as assessed in a study-specific Cogstate Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB). Secondary endpoints include the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-10), Timed Up and Go Test, and electroencephalogram (EEG) as a potential biomarker for DLB.

NCT ID: NCT03996967 Completed - Malaria Clinical Trials

Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for Childhood Bacterial Pneumonia

Start date: February 11, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Clinical pneumonia is a leading cause of pediatric hospitalization. The etiology is generally bacterial or viral. Prompt and optimal treatment of pneumonia is critical to reduce mortality. However, adequate pneumonia management is hampered by: a) the lack of a diagnostic tool that can be used at point-of-care (POC) and promptly and accurately allow the diagnosis of bacterial disease and b) lack of a prognostic POC test to help triage children in need of intensive assistance. Antibiotic therapy is frequently overprescribed as a result of suspected bacterial infections resulting in development of antibiotic resistance. Conversely, in malaria-endemic areas, antibiotics may also be "underprescribed" and children with bacterial pneumonia sent home without antibiotic therapy, when the clinical pneumonia is mistakenly attributed to a co-existing malaria infection. The investigators previously identified combinations of protein with 96% sensitivity and 86% specificity for detecting bacterial disease in Mozambican children with clinical pneumonia. The investigators' prior work showed that it is possible to identify biosignatures for diagnosis and prognosis using few proteins. Recently, other authors also identified different accurate biosignatures (e.g., IP-10, TRAIL and CRP). In this study, the investigators propose to validate and improve upon previous biosignatures by testing prior combinations and seeking novel combinations of markers in 900 pediatric inpatients aged 2 months to 5 years with clinical pneumonia in The Gambia. The investigators will also use alternative case criteria and seek diagnostic and prognostic combination of markers. This study will be conducted in Basse, rural Gambia, in two hospitals associated with the Medical Research Council Unity The Gambia (MRCG). Approximately 900 pediatric patients with clinical pneumonia aged 2 months to 5 years of age will be enrolled. Patients will undergo standard of care test and will have blood proteins measured through Luminex®-based immunoassays. Results of this study may ultimately support future development of an accurate point-of-care test for bacterial disease to guide clinicians in choices of treatment and to assist in the prioritization of intensive care in resource-limited settings.
