PREvention of CardIovascular and DiabEtic kidNey Disease in Type 2 Diabetes
NCT05390892
Recruiting
PRECIDENTD is a randomized, open label, pragmatic clinical trial designed to compare rates of the total number of cardiovascular, kidney, and death events among two alternative treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at high risk for ASCVD. To accomplish this objective, we will randomly assign 6,000 patients with established T2D and ASCVD or high-risk for ASCVD in a 1:1 allocation to sodium-glucose cotransporter-... Read More

Surveillance and Treatment to Prevent Fetal Atrioventricular Block Likely to Occur Quickly (STOP BLOQ)
NCT04474223
Recruiting
Fetal complete (i.e., third degree, 3°) atrioventricular block (AVB), identified in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy in an otherwise normally developing heart, is almost universally associated with maternal anti-Ro autoantibodies and results in death in a fifth of cases. To date treatment of 3° AVB has been ineffective in restoring normal rhythm (NR) which may be because current surveillance is limited to once- weekly fetal echocardiograms. It is hypothesized that there may be a vital transition p... Read More

Project Talk Trial: Engaging Underserved Communities in End-of-life Conversations
NCT04612738
Recruiting
Compared to the general population, individuals from underserved communities are more likely to receive low quality end-of-life care and unwanted, costly and burdensome treatments due in part to a lack of advance care planning (ACP; the process of discussing wishes for end-of-life care with loved ones/clinicians and documenting them in advance directives). This study will use existing, trusted, and respected social networks to evaluate two conversation-based tools intended to engage underserved... Read More

Multi-Center Study of Clinical and Inflammatory Outcomes in Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation and Traditional Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs
NCT06424119
Recruiting
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate whether the Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) program provides incremental benefits over the Traditional Cardiac Rehabilitation (TCR) program, defined by readmission costs. The study aims to confirm: * That ICR is associated with better outcomes than TCR, defined as lower readmission costs, lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and improvement in biomarkers, epigenetic markers, and inflammatory markers. * The additi...

Information Processing Biases in Adults Who Stutter
NCT06422442
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether stuttering is associated with a tendency to attend more quickly or for longer durations to threat-related information in the environment (threat-related attention bias). The main questions it aims to answer are: Do adults who stutter, relative to adults who do not stutter, attend to threat-related stimuli more than neutral information? Are attentional biases observed across different types of threat or are they specific to threats related to... Read More

Empagliflozin Treatment in Kidney Transplant Recipients
NCT06013865
Recruiting
Kidney transplantation improves the health and quality of life for those Veterans with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). While early patient and graft survival are excellent, long-term outcomes continue to be challenging. Patient death with existing kidney graft function occurs in about half of all recipients over time. This is primarily due to the development of cardiovascular disease in a patient population with multiple preexisting cardiac disease risk factors. There has been little progress i... Read More

Co-Use of Opioid Medications and Alcohol Prevention Study
NCT05599672
Recruiting
Previous research, including that of this team, shows that a significant portion of those regularly using opioids-particularly filling opioids at community pharmacies-also are involved in the co-use of alcohol. This study proposes to adapt a previously developed intervention for opioid medication misuse; test its acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy; and identify barriers and facilitators to large-scale research and system-level implementation. Results of this study will directly... Read More

Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry
NCT04071327
Recruiting
The PHA Registry (PHAR) is a national study about people who have pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). PHAR collects information from people with PAH and CTEPH who are cared for in participating PHA-accredited Pulmonary Hypertension Care Centers throughout the U.S. PHAR will determine how people with PAH and CTEPH are evaluated, tested, and treated, and will observe how well these participants do. The goal is to see if people with PH a... Read More
