Optimizing Retention, Duration and Discontinuation Strategies for Opioid Use Disorder Pharmacotherapy (RDD)
NCT04464980
Recruiting
This is a two phase study investigating combinations of pharmacological and behavioral interventions to optimize the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The Retention Phase will assess strategies for improving retention on buprenorphine (BUP) and extended-release injectable naltrexone (XR-NTX). The Discontinuation Phase will assess which approaches are most likely to lead to long-term success (absence of relapse), and what characteristics of participants distinguish those who can safely disc...

Cabergoline for the Treatment of Chronic Pain Due to Endometriosis
NCT03928288
Recruiting
Endometriosis is dependent on angiogenesis (the sprouting of new blood vessels) for its growth and maintenance, but the side effects of currently approved angiogenesis inhibitors make these agents inappropriate for use in reproductive-age patients. This obstacle will be overcome by performing a randomized, double blind clinical trial aimed at repurposing an existing drug, cabergoline, as a safe, alternative angiogenesis inhibitor for adolescents and young women with endometriosis. This trial pro... Read More

Limiting Emergence Phenomena After General Anesthesia With Combined LMA and ETT Airway Management Technique
NCT02708836
Recruiting
Emergence from general anesthesia with a laryngeal mask airway compared with an endotracheal tube has been shown to favorable with respect to limiting emergence phenomena such as coughing, straining, restlessness, and sympathetic stimulation leading to hypertension and tachycardia. Many anesthesiologists would prefer the use of an ETT to an LMA in cases in which higher ventilation pressures may be required, in those patients who are perceived to be high risk for reflux and pulmonary aspiration...

GATE-251 or Placebo for the Reduction of Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder
NCT06547489
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if GATE-251 works to treat depression in adults. It will also learn about the safety of GATE-251. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does GATE-251 reduce depression scores in participants compared to participants who take a placebo (a look-alike tablet that contains no GATE-251)? What medical problems are observed in participants who take GATE-251? Participants will take one tablet of GATE-251 or placebo every week for 6 weeks. Participants w... Read More

Triptorelin for the Prevention of Ovarian Damage in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
NCT06513962
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of giving triptorelin vs no triptorelin in preventing ovarian damage in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receiving chemotherapy with an alkylating agents. Alkylating agents are part of standard chemotherapy, but may cause damage to the ovaries. If the ovaries are not working well or completely shut down, then it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Triptorelin works by blocking certain hormones and causing the ovar... Read More

A Study of Lower Radiotherapy Dose to Treat Children With CNS Germinoma
NCT06368817
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well lower dose radiotherapy after chemotherapy (Carboplatin \& Etoposide) works in treating children with central nervous system (CNS) germinomas. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by... Read More
