Comparative Effectiveness Study of Spironolactone Versus Doxycycline for Acne
Recruiting
Acne is common illness of adolescents and young adults which is associated with substantial morbidity. While topical treatments are often sufficient for mild acne, moderate to severe acne often requires treatment with systemic medications such as oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies such spironolactone, and isotretinoin. Sebum overproduction is fundamental to the pathogenesis of acne with associated disordered keratinization and subsequent microbial colonization and inflammation resulting in the... Read More

Electrographic Seizure Management and Neurobehavioral Outcomes in Critically Ill Children
Recruiting
Electrographic seizures are common in critically ill patients leading to increased use of resource-intense continuous EEG monitoring for seizure identification and management. When identified, electrographic seizures are generally treated with anti-seizure medications, but there are very limited data available regarding optimal treatment in terms of the efficacy or safety of specific anti-seizure medications or overall management strategies. This is a single-center prospective observational stu... Read More

Dose Escalation Trial of Safety, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic and Preliminary Clinical Activity of Briquilimab in Adult Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)
Recruiting
This trial will be performed as a three-part dose escalating clinical trial where Parts 1 is open label and Parts 2 and 3 are randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled. The trial is intended to determine the safety and tolerability and assess the preliminary efficacy of briquilimab in adult participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), who remain symptomatic despite treatment with H1 antihistamines and omalizumab. Additionally, pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of briquilimab, a... Read More

A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DNL593 in Healthy Participants and Participants With Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD-GRN)
Recruiting
This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of DNL593 in two parts followed by an optional open-label extension (OLE) period. Part A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of single doses of DNL593 in healthy male and healthy female participants of nonchildbearing potential. Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and... Read More

Urban and Reservation Implementation of All Nations Breath of Life
Recruiting
This is an implementation trial of the All Nations Breath of Life (ANBL) smoking cessation program, which has already been tested for efficacy in reservation populations and shown feasibility in urban populations. It includes four implementation sites, two reservation sites and two urban sites. Therefore, investigators plan to test efficacy simultaneously. Implementation will follow guidelines described in the protocol, with all sites implementing certain parts of the intervention the same way,... Read More

A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Activity of Fruquintinib in Minority Populations With Advanced, Previously Treated Colorectal Cancer
Recruiting
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a known side effect of the treatment with fruquintinib. Current research does not provide a clear answer whether minority groups such as Black/African American and/or Hispanic/Latino with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a bigger risk of higher blood pressure after treatment with fruquintinib. The main aim of this study is to learn how often adults of a minority group experience hypertension after they have been treated with fruquintinib f... Read More
