Measurement of Glucose Homeostasis in Human Brain by NMR: Effect of Recurrent Hypoglycemia on Type 1 Diabetes (Aim 1)

Description:

This study will explore the cerebral mechanisms of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) in type 1 diabetics (T1D) following exposure to experimental recurrent hypoglycemia (HG). To induce IAH, patients with T1D identified to have normal awareness of hypoglycemia (NAH) will undergo three 2-hour long hypoglycemic clamps. Neurochemical profiles will be measured by high field MRS before and after induction of IAH at a fourth clamp. Participant glycemic variability for ~2 weeks and activity/sleep for ~1 week before the induction of IAH will be monitored as these factors have been shown to alter responses to HG.

EVALUATION OF PATIENT OUTCOMES FROM THE KIDNEY ALLOGRAFT OUTCOMES ALLOSURE REGISTRY (KOAR) (KOAR)

Description:

AlloSure KOAR will recruit eligible kidney recipients who are undergoing AlloSure testing as part of their clinical care to participate in a registry. Patient consent will permit collection and use of data from the patient EMR for entry into the AlloSure database. We will be collecting additional data and outcomes to follow the clinical inquiry and use of AlloSure testing. The AlloSure test has been approved for Medicare coverage for clinical use when a physician determines there is a need to assess the probability of allograft rejection in kidney transplant recipients. The DART study suggests that use of the non-invasive AlloSure test to measure donorderived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) can be used to discriminate active rejection in a renal transplant recipient. Use of the test may reduce invasive percutaneous renal biopsy procedures among patients with a suspicion of rejection. Patients may begin use of the AlloSure test 2 weeks following transplantation. The recommended AlloSure testing schedule is at months 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 post-transplant and quarterly in year 2 and year 3 post-transplant. AlloSure testing may also be performed when there is clinical suspicion of rejection or other cause of instability in the allograft to inform on the need for a clinically indicated biopsy. Patients and clinicians may choose to use AlloSure testing as a replacement or pre-test for planned surveillance biopsies to inform on the decision to perform a surveillance biopsy, but not the one-year surveillance biopsy used to generate the primary endpoint data. This is a multicenter, non-blinded, prospective observational cohort study of 1000 patients enrolled in an AlloSure testing registry, including 300 patients at centers with planned renal surveillance biopsies at 12 months post-transplantation. The other 700 patients will be from centers that do not perform protocol surveillance biopsies. Outcomes in this sub-cohort, which represents the majority of the intended use population in the U.S., will be compared to the outcomes of the test and control cohorts. A matched control cohort of 300 patients will be retrospectively selected from the subset of centers providing the test cohort patients who have planned surveillance biopsies at 12 months post-transplantation.

Tipifarnib for the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors, Lymphoma, or Histiocytic Disorders With HRAS Gene Alterations, a Pediatric MATCH Treatment Trial

Description:

The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) study, referred to as Pediatric MATCH, will match targeted agents with specific molecular changes identified using genomic sequencing technologies in refractory/recurrent tumors from children and adolescents with cancer. The NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH study (APEC1621) is considered one study under one IND consisting of a Master Version Control protocol, screening protocol component and multiple subprotocol components, with each component being contained in its own separate document. Each “component” consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document. The Master Version Control Protocol is the overarching administrative protocol that will keep an up-to-date record of the current version of the screening protocol component and each subprotocol component of Pediatric MATCH. Since each subprotocol component operates independently from the other subprotocol components contained in Pediatric MATCH, each has its own version date. Likewise, the screening protocol component has its own version date since changes in any of the subprotocols may not require changes in the screening protocol.

A Randomized Trial of Intra-Portal Alone Versus Intra- and Extra- Portal Transplantation of Pancreatic Islets After Total Pancreatectomy for Chronic Pancreatitis (iSite)

Description:

One treatment for certain types of chronic pancreatitis is total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT). In this procedure, the pancreas is removed (eliminating the source of the pain) and the islets, which produce insulin and other important hormones, are taken from the pancreas and transplanted in to the liver. This is a small study to evaluate a new procedure for transplanting some islets to a new location in the body.

ZEUS - Effects of ziltivekimab versus placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and systemic inflammation

Description:

We are doing this study to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe. Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly. The study is expected to last for 2.5 to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits. Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.

Post Approval Study of Liposorber LA-15 System for the Treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Children (FSGS pediatric)

Description:

This multicenter, prospective, single-arm clinical study will evaluate the probable benefit and safety of the LIPOSORBER® LA-15 System for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, when the standard treatment options, including corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors treatments, have been unsuccessful or not well tolerated, and the patient has a GFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2, or the patient is post renal transplantation.

Sex: All

Age: up to 21 Years old

Phase: N/A

This study is NOT accepting healthy volunteers

System ID: NCT02235857

Show full eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• A pediatric patient is deemed suitable for inclusion in the study if the patient has FSGS with a GFR ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73 m 2 and any of the following:
• Refractory nephrotic syndrome in which standard treatment options are unsuccessful (i.e., patient is unresponsive to standard corticosteroid and/or calcineurin inhibitor therapy for at least 8 weeks resulting in failure to achieve complete or partial remission);
• Refractory nephrotic syndrome in which standard treatment options are not well tolerated (i.e., patients intolerant to standard therapies due to severe side effects that negatively affect quality of life without providing an acceptable level of clinical benefit);
• Refractory or recurrent nephrotic syndrome in which standard therapy is contraindicated. or
• Pediatric post renal transplant patients with nephrotic syndrome associated with primary FSGS.

Exclusion Criteria:

• General Exclusion Criteria
• Patient is greater than 21 years of age
• Parent or patient is unwilling or unable to sign and date the informed consent (Note: Only patients 18-21 years of age may sign the informed consent on their own behalf)
• Pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant prior to completing the study (Note: The safety of the use of Liposorber® in pregnant women has not been studied. There may be unknown risks to an embryo/fetus. Sexually active women of child bearing potential should avoid pregnancy during the use of the Liposorber device and throughout the study duration.)
• Unable or unwilling to comply with the follow-up schedule
• Simultaneously participating in another investigational drug or device study
• Body weight < 15 kg (33.1 lbs)
• Medical Exclusion Criteria
• Currently being administered ACE inhibitors that cannot be withheld for at least 24 hours prior to each apheresis treatment (Note: The time period to withhold ACE inhibitors should be prolonged, if determined by the treating physician, considering each individual's renal function and the biological half-life of the ACE-inhibitor currently in use.)
• Currently being administered antihypertensive drugs other than ACE inhibitors (e.g., Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) that cannot be withheld on the day of apheresis until after the procedure
• Medical condition or disorder that would limit life expectancy to less than the primary clinical study endpoint or that may cause noncompliance with the study plan or confound the data analysis
• Hypersensitivity to dextran sulfate, heparin, or ethylene oxide
• Adequate anticoagulation cannot be achieved due to severe hemophilia, severe hemorrhage diathesis, severe gastrointestinal ulcers, or are recipients of vitamin K antagonist medications
• Extracorporeal circulation therapy with Liposorber® LA-15 System cannot be tolerated due to severe cardiac insufficiency, acute myocardial infarction, severe cardiac arrhythmia, acute apoplexy, severe uncontrollable hypertension, or severe uncontrollable hypotension
• Cardiac impairments such as uncontrolled arrhyth¬mia, unstable angina, decompensated congestive heart failure, or valvular disease
• Functional thyroid disease or liver abnormalities
• Unresolved systemic or local infection that could affect the clinical study outcomes
