Philadelphia, PA Paid Clinical Trials

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, two-arm study to assess the feasibility and safety and to evaluate clinical outcomes of endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic arch aneurysms) in patients at high risk for open surgery. Read Less

This is a multi-center, randomized single-blind nonsurgical trial conducted in approximately 216 primiparous postpartum women at high risk for prolonged/sustained pelvic floor disorders with symptomatic, bothersome urinary incontinence (UI) amenable to nonsurgical treatment. TULIP is a 3-Arm trial with two active interventions (Arms 1 and 2) and a Patient Education control arm (Arm 3). Arm 1 consists of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). Arm 2 uses a home biofeedback device (leva®). The primary outcome will be assessed at 6 months postpartum by blinded outcomes assessors, and follow-up will continue until 12 months postpartum.

Traumatic Cerebral Vascular Injury (TCVI) is a common consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI). TCVI is associated with poor recovery after TBI in animal models. TCVI can be measured non-invasively in humans, and therapies targeting TCVI are attractive candidates to ameliorate the consequences of TBI. Sildenafil potentiates nitric oxide (NO) dependent vasodilatation and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and primary pulmonary hypertension. In pre-clinical models of stroke, sildenafil improves cerebral blood flow (CBF), promotes, angiogenesis, neurogenesis and improves recovery. In an initial Phase 2a trial (NCT01762475) of sildenafil in patients with chronic moderate to severe TBI, the investigators found that low dose sildenafil (25 mg BID) therapy is safe and well tolerated, that a single dose of sildenafil 50 mg potentiates CVR in areas of the brain with dysfunctional endothelium, and that CVR is a reliable diagnostic marker of TCVI and has potential as a pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarker. In this proposal, the investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to determine the optimal PDE5 inhibitor dose to improve or normalize microvascular function (as measured by the change in CVR measurements before and after a single dose of sildenafil, or ΔCVR) using a range of sildenafil citrate doses: 20, 40, 80 mg) in chronic TBI patients. The investigators will also test the safety and tolerability of the same dose ranges of chronic (4-week) thrice daily sildenafil or placebo administration in chronic TBI patients and explore its effects on chronic symptoms and clinical outcomes.

Related donor Adenovirus (ADV) specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered intravenously in in children, adolescents and young adults with refractory ADV infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

This trial studies health outcomes after treatment in patients with retinoblastoma. Gathering health information over time from patients and family members through vision assessments, samples of tissue and saliva, and questionnaires may help doctors learn more about what causes retinoblastoma, identify long-term health outcomes for patients with retinoblastoma, and find out which therapies may be the best for treating retinoblastoma Read Less

CMV cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant. Funding Source: FDA OOPD Read Less

This is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate the range of metabolic abnormalities observed in patients living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy. This study will also explore the concurrent role of poor oral health in supporting and driving chronic immune activation and inflammation in HIV infection. Read Less

Related donor Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered in children, adolescents and young adults with refractory EBV infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

This study will compare Valemetostat Tosylate Plus Pembrolizumab vs Pembrolizumab Alone in First-line NSCLC Without Actionable Genomic Alterations Read Less

CDH is a birth defect characterized by the development, very early in gestation, of a hole in the diaphragm, the breathing muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. As a result, the intestines and other organs in the abdomen can move into the chest and press on the developing lungs. This prevents the lungs from growing and developing normally. In severe cases, CDH can lead to serious disease and death at birth. For these babies, treatment before birth may allow the lungs to grow enough before birth so these children are capable of surviving and thriving. Read Less

The goal of this open label 16 week trial is to evaluate Lp(a) levels for patients with elevated Lp(a) being treated with obicetrapib and obiceptrapib/evolocumab Patients will: Have baseline Lp(a) tested at randomization Take 10mg/dL obiceptrapib daily for 8 weeks and have Lp(a) tested at Week 8 Take 10 mg/dL obicetrapib daily/evolocumab 140 every other week for 8 weeks and have Lp(a) retested at Week 16 Read Less

This study is a Phase 3 multi-site, randomized, evaluator-masked, study of endurance treadmill exercise on changes in the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score at 12 months among persons with early stage Parkinson disease. 370 participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups: 1)60-65% HRmax or 2)80-85% HRmax 4 times per week. The primary objective is to test whether the progression of the signs of Parkinson's disease is attenuated at 12 months in among persons who have not initiated medication for Parkinson Disease (PD) when they perform high-intensity endurance treadmill exercise.
