Arkansas Paid Clinical Trials

The SHIELD (Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease) study is a prospective, observational, multi-site basket design trial without randomization. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations. Read Less

The GRACE-2 study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of the drug GM-CSF vs placebo in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) who have immunoparalysis with mild to moderate inflammation. Read Less

The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Read Less

This is a study of navicixizumab monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel or irinotecan in patients with advanced cancer. Patients will be enrolled into one of the following cancer cohorts: Cohort A: CRC Cohort B: Gastric and GEJ cancer Cohort C: TNBC Cohort D: Platinum-resistant/refractory epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer (ovarian cancer) Read Less

Currently, hemophilia A patients are managed with prophylactic or on-demand replacement therapy with recombinant FVIII or alternative therapeutics. The major challenges of current treatment regimens, such as the short half-life of hemophilia therapeutics with the need for frequent IV injections, encourage the current efforts for gene transfer therapy. This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ASC618, an AAV vector encoding B-domain deleted codon-optimized human factor VIII under a synthetic liver-directed promoter Read Less

A retrospective review of body composition changes in patients who participate in a 9-week non-invasive intensive health care provider supervised weight loss program as an overall cohort and in sub-cohorts of interest. Read Less

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study that will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 is the dose escalation of APG-5918. Part 2 is the dose expansion of APG-5918. APG-5918 will be administered orally. Patients will be treated in 28-day cycles. Read Less

To evaluate the durability of efficacy and long-term safety of intramuscular (IM) administration of Engensis or Placebo that was administered in the double-blind, randomized, VMDN-003-2 Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study. Read Less

Apathy, a profound loss of initiative and motivation, is often seen in older Veterans with memory problems. Apathy leads to serious health problems, increases dependency, and caregiver burden. If untreated, apathy hastens the progression to frank dementia. In a pilot study, the investigators found that apathy, working memory, and function can be restored using magnetic stimulation in some but not all older Veterans. The reason for this variation is unknown. The investigators propose a three-phase study in 125 older Veterans with mild memory problems. Their motivation, memory, and function will be measured periodically. Veterans with apathy that are eligible for treatment will receive either real or sham magnetic stimulation to the front part of their brain over 20 sessions. Genetic testing and biomarkers will be used to differentiate those who respond to magnetic stimulation from those who do not. Impact on function, quality of life, and rates of progression to dementia will also be studied. A project modification was obtained to conduct a cross-sectional study, the COVID Dementia study. The cross-sectional study will examine the effect of the pandemic on MCI and AD patients and their caregivers ("individual COVID-related factors" such as, personally infected, death of a friend/family member, economic hardship, disruption in care, isolation), barriers to telehealth, caregiver distress, NPS, cognition (including onset of delirium), and function. Our goal is to develop a multi-pronged, remotely deliverable intervention to address consequences of healthcare disruptions in older Veterans with cognitive impairment. Aim 1. To explore the association between COVID-related factors and neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals with MCI and AD. Hypothesis: The number of COVID-related factors endorsed by caregivers will be positively correlated with the severity of NPI-Q in individuals with MCI and AD. Aim 2. To assess cognition (telephonic version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; tMoCA12, and daily function (Functional Activities Questionnaire; FAQ13). Hypothesis: The number of COVID-related factors will be positively correlated with the severity of cognitive and functional deficits in individuals with MCI and AD. Aim 3. To explore the associations among COVID-related factors and caregiver distress. Hypothesis: Caregiver resilience and perceived social support will modify the association between COVID-related factors and severity of distress in caregivers. Read Less
