Trial

Pulmonary and Critical Care

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation and verification clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of pulsed, inhaled nitric oxide in subjects at risk of pulmonary hypertension associated with pulmonary fibrosis on long term oxygen therapy

Active recruiting

The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drug, inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), when given and breathed through an investigational study device, the INOpulse, may help treat patients at risk for pulmonary hypertension-pulmonary fibrosis. Another purpose of this study is to determine if using the INOpulse delivery device (drug and device combination) improves the levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (for example walking, climbing stairs, household chores and cleaning and, exercise and hobbies), as measured by actigraphy (a non-invasive way to monitor rest/activity).

Caregiver Characteristics That May Predict When Patients With Alzheimer Disease Are Placed in Long Term Care Facilities

Active recruiting

This research will be conducted by the SIU Memory and Aging Network (MAN), which comprises 38 sites that evaluate and treat patients with dementia throughout non-metropolitan Illinois. AD patients and their caregivers who are living in private homes will be recruited. Primary outcome measures will be the ratings of the caregiver’s physical status (grip strength, walking speed, and score on the Timed Up-and-Go Test11 and the rating of the caregiver’s chronic medical illness burden using the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (Geriatric).12,13 The patient and caregiver dyad will be encouraged

NX Corp.: A Phase 3 Multicenter Study of Gleolan (Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride) to Enhance Visualization of Tumor in Patients with Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Meningiomas

Active recruiting

NXDC-MEN-301: Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they have a brain tumor, a meningioma, and surgery is recommended to remove it. The sponsor of this clinical trial, NX Development Corp, has developed the study drug, Gleolan, an imaging agent that in some brain tumors, can make the tumors glow red-violet under a special blue light. This may make it easier for the study surgeon to identify the tumor and to remove it. As part of the study, subjects will drink the Gleolan before your surgery. The goal is to safely remove the tumor.

Active recruiting

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug, dipraglurant (ADX48621), in subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID).

Trial

Psychiatry

RECOVER: A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Blinded Trial Demonstrating the Safety and Effectiveness of VNS Therapy System as Adjunctive Therapy Versus a No-Stimulation Control in Subjects with Treatment-Resistant Depression

Active recruiting

The RECOVER study is a nationwide clinical trial that has been approved by Medicare to provide additional evidence for the benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy. Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy is an FDA-approved device for treating patients with TRD (Treatment Resistant Depression). It is implanted in the left chest area during a short outpatient procedure. The device delivers mild, intermittently pulsed signals to the vagus nerve in the neck that activate various parts of the brain.

Trial

Neurology

Roche: A Phase IIB, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous prasinezumab in participants with early Parkinson's disease

Active recruiting

PADOVA: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, prasinezumab versus placebo has on Parkinson’s disease in people who are taking standard medication to manage the disease symptoms.

Trial

Neurology

Roche: An open-label, multicenter, rollover study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-term gantenerumab administration in participants with Alzheimer's disease

Active recruiting

POST GRAD: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of long term gantenerumab on subjects with prodromal or mild Alzheimer's disease.

Trial

Neurology

Sleep SMART: Sleep for Stroke Management And Recovery Trial: Investigator-initiated, phase 3 multicenter, prospective randomized open-, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) controlled trial to test whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure is effective for secondary prevention and recovery after stroke.

Active recruiting

The primary goals of this study are to determine whether (1) treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with positive airway pressure after acute ischemic stroke or high risk TIA reduces recurrent stroke, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and all-cause mortality 6 months after the event, and (2) treatment of OSA shortly after acute ischemic stroke improves stroke outcomes at 3 months.
