Background: Researchers want see if three new HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) vaccines are safe. Two vaccines are carried by live adenoviruses, which are natural and typically cause cold symptoms or an eye infection. Researchers want to see if all the vaccines help fight HIV and if the adenoviruses are contagious. Objectives: To test the safety and effects of three new HIV vaccines. Eligibility: Healthy adults 18 49 years old (vaccinees) Their household and intimate contacts 18 65 years old Design: Vaccinees will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood and urine tests Questions about HIV risk Vaccinees will learn how to prevent spreading the viruses and about required contraception during the study. Vaccinees will get consent forms for their household and intimate contacts. All contacts must be age 18 65. All intimate contacts must sign a consent form. Contacts will have 4 visits over 8 months for blood tests and a physical exam. All applicable participants will have a pregnancy test at every visit. Vaccinees will have about 9 visits over 12 months. They will repeat screening tests and get: 1 of the 2 adenovirus vaccines sprayed in the nose at 2 visits The booster vaccine by needle in an arm at 1 visit Nasal swabs taken at some visits Vaccinees will note their temperature and symptoms for at least 1 4 weeks after each vaccine. Vaccinees may choose to have: Leukapheresis. Blood will be removed by needle in a vein in one arm. A machine will remove white blood cells. The rest of the blood will be returned into the other arm. Small pieces of the tonsil removed Sponsoring Institute: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ...
This trial is a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) on dry eye disease.
The incidence of physician confirmed asthma is approximately 4-7% in children. An additional 5% of children suffer from infection-related bronchiolitis and obstructive bronchitis. Of all patient visits at pediatric emergency rooms, 1 out of 10 is due to breathing difficulties with a great proportion leading to hospitalization. Salbutamol is the most commonly used drug in the treatment in acute bronchial obstruction. A vast majority of children require a spacer device (valved holding chamber, VHC) for the delivery of the drug aerosol. There are several different types of VHC on the market, but no recommendations on the device selection have been published. Both in in vivo and in vitro studies significant differences between different spacer devices have been reported. The study compares two different VHCs in the treatment of acute breathing difficulties in children. The end-points in this randomized physician-blinded study are symptom relief, rate of hospitalization, symptom recurrence, treatment compliance, and adverse events. The study will be conducted in pediatric emergency rooms (ER) in three university hospitals in Finland and one private clinic that routinely treat this type of patients. The treatment is given according to national treatment guidelines and no blood samples are drawn for study purposes. Both of the VHCs used in this study have been approved for use in clinical practice.
This study is being done to attempt to identify genetic mutations or other gene-based variations in adults and children who have cancer, or are likely to develop an inherited form of cancer, and potentially reduce their risk for cancer or treat the cancer earlier.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of early treatment for ASD children 5 years after initial treatment. The early treatment implemented was 12 hours per week of ESDM versus treatment as usual during 2 years. This was done as an RCT, called IDEA. Children will now be included in IDEA-2 SCOLA, a three year follow up study.
This is a single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, incremental phase I clinical trial to evaluate preliminarily the tolerance, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of TPN672 maleate in Chinese healthy volunteers after single dose administration.
This study will examine markers of vascular endothelial function (vascular health) and metabolic profiles in younger versus older transgender women (people who were assigned male at birth but whose gender identity is female). Data will also be compared to those from cisgender women and men.
This study is intended to report changes in the weight and metabolic indicators of the subjects six months after the end of the study for adults with a risk factor of 27 kg/m2 or higher (formerly the research task name[clinicaltrial.gov;NCT03675191]).
Everybody's skin has bacteria that normally lives on it. Previous research has shown that people with eczema (or atopic dermatitis [AD]) have much higher concentrations of a certain bacteria (S. aureus), especially when their disease is active but little is known about the role that this bacteria plays in psoriasis (i.e. disease severity, biomarkers and skin barrier function). The overarching purpose of this longitudinal study is to understand how the abundance of skin S. aureus (and several commensal bacteria) change as a consequence of standard of care treatment in the URMC dermatology clinics. Other assays and biospecimens will also be collected to address a number of questions.
The study is a post-market surveillance study of the Lumbar Implant for Stiffness Augmentation (LISA), a medical device, which is used to treat low-back pain that accompanies degenerative lesions of grades II, III, and IV (Pfirrmann MRI classification). "Post-market" means the device (i.e. the LISA implant) being used in this study has already obtained CE certification and is commercially available for use in the European market. The LISA device consists of 3 components: A PEEK interspinous spacer, a polyester band, and a titanium blocker. The spacer is positioned between two adjacent spinous processes, the band is belted around the spinous processes and through the spacer, and the blocker is used to lock the band inside the spacer. Medical Device manufacturers conduct "post-market" clinical studies in order to continuously evaluate the product scientifically and to comply with legal and ethical obligations. With these studies, the long-term safety as well as performance of their medical devices are assessed. This study, which is initiated and sponsored by BACKBONE (LISA designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer), aims to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the LISA implant for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease and to evaluate the treatment.
