This small stroke rehabilitation study will test the feasibility of a new method to personalize a home exercise program for arm/hand recovery. The research study will last ~8 weeks. Participants will be included if they are adults who have experienced a stroke that has caused one arm/hand to become weak, are able to come to the MUSC main campus 3 times for ~2hr arm movement evaluations, and are willing and able to engage in 60 minute telerehabilitation video visits with an occupational therapist 1-2 times per week for 6 weeks. We anticipate that the results of this study will enable occupational therapists and stroke survivors to, together, design home exercise programs that are meaningful, motivating and effective.
This is a pivotal Phase 2/3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of oral study drug epetraborole + OBR (Optimized background regimen) versus placebo + OBR in patients with treatment-refractory MAC lung disease. A total of approximately 314 patients will be enrolled in this Phase 2/3 study. For the Phase 2 and Phase 3 parts of the study, the duration of study participation for each patient, not including
Screening, will be up to approximately 19 months. During the conduct of the study, an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be responsible for periodic review of unblinded study safety data by performing a qualitative and quantitative safety assessment.
The study is designed to evaluate the effects of the combination of zibotentan and
dapagliflozin and dapagliflozin monotherapy versus placebo on the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) response in participants with cirrhosis with features of portal hypertension at 6 weeks of treatment.
Part A is to evaluate the absolute
change in HVPG at 6 weeks from baseline in participants treated with 2.5 mg zibotentan combined with 10 mg dapagliflozin versus placebo. The primary efficacy objective for Part B is to evaluate the proportion of participants treated with 1, 2.5, or 5 mg zibotentan combined with 10 mg dapagliflozin and 10 mg dapagliflozin monotherapy versus placebo achieving a ≥ 20% decrease in HVPG or a reduction to or below 12 mmHg in HVPG
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab when used in combination with topical corticosteroid (TCS) treatment, compared with placebo, in pediatric participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Participants found to be eligible according to all of the study entry criteria will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either lebrikizumab or placebo. This study can last up to 32 weeks, with 4 study periods. Screening Period: up to 4 weeks (≤30 days), TCS Standardization Period: 2 weeks, Treatment Period: 16 weeks, Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up Period: 12 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if AMDS is safe and effective in the treatment of acute dissection (sudden tear). For patients whose aortic anatomy is suitable for treatment with AMDS, the use of this device may promote healing of the aortic walls and possibly reduce the need for additional aortic surgeries. If conventional surgery, in combination with AMDS, is effective, it is believed that this could lead to improved aortic healing; an improvement in healing could reduce the risk of hospitalization and reoperation in the chest compared to conventional surgery alone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the PMX cartridge ( Toramyxin) (in Addition to Standard Medical Care for Patients with Endotoxemic Septic Shock:
Eligible and consented subjects will be randomized to receive either the PMX cartridge (administered twice for 1½ to 2 hours per treatment session approximately 24 hours apart) plus standard medical care or standard medical care alone. For all subjects in whom treatment has been initiated, a follow-up visit (if they are still in the hospital) or a telephone call will be completed at Day 28 (or later) to determine their mortality status. In surviving subjects, a follow-up visit or telephone call to determine their mortality status will also take place at approximately three months (i.e. Day 90) and 12 months after the subject was randomized.
This is a cross-sectional, multi-center study comparing stool-based testing (multi-target DNA-based test and quantitative FIT test) to standard of care colonoscopy for CRC screening in PwCF. The study includes an enrollment visit, two stool samples completed at home, a clinical screening colonoscopy, and three participant surveys which will be completed at enrollment and remotely.
The total duration of participant participation will be 3-12 months, depending on the timing of the completion of the stool sample and the participant's colonoscopy. The targeted participant timeline is 3 months from enrollment to the completion of a clinical screening colonoscopy. To allow for varying site-specific clinical colonoscopy scheduling delays and COVID delays in scheduling, the duration of time between stool sampling and screening colonoscopy may extend up to 12 months for inclusion of data in the study. However, greater than 3 months duration between stool-based testing and colonoscopy will be considered a protocol deviation.
This study includes a longitudinal mixed methods study of 360 YYA with diabetes in SC, CO, and WA conducted with SFS 1 participants. SFS 2 will have two parts: (1) an intense, longitudinal study consisting of two 14-day assessment periods spaced 9 months apart which will include CGM, EMA, accelerometry, and surveys in all participants (the EMA study); and (2) a concurrent events qualitative study with a subset of participants (30 T1D, 15 T2D) who will complete 13 one-on-one, semi-structured interviews throughout the 9-month assessment period (the qualitative study).
The need to advance knowledge and increase access to treatment for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) is a priority for service members and Veterans. PTSD and SUD often co-occur and are two of the most common and debilitating mental health disorders among service members and Veterans. However, few providers are trained in this approach and therefore are not prepared to deliver best practice care to Veterans who need integrated PTSD/SUD treatment.
This project will directly address this critical gap in provider training to improve the care of Veterans with comorbid PTSD/SUD, by providing development and testing of a web-based provider training course for concurrent treatment of PTSD and SUD Using prolonged exposure (COPE).
The primary objective of this platform trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of differing treatments in CF pulmonary exacerbations during a planned 14 day course of IV antimicrobials. Primary efficacy will be evaluated as the difference in mean ppFEV1 (pulmonary function testing) changes from Visit 1 to Visit 2 (Day 28 ± 2 days) between intervention arms. The study will compare treatment of an intravenous aminoglycoside and β-lactams (AG) versus intravenous β-lactams only (non-AG) in people with CF diagnosed with a pulmonary exacerbation who will be treated for Pa.
