Switching From Twice-Daily to Once-Daily Clozapine Dosing in Schizophrenia
Plasma half-life has routinely been used to establish the dosing schedule of antipsychotics; for example, it is recommended that agents with a short plasma half-life be administered multiple times per day. However, to date, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown no differences in clinical outcomes between once- and twice-daily …
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C During Pregnancy
This is a multicenter, single arm study of Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) for treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection during pregnancy. Treatment will be initiated during the second or third trimester in approximately 100 pregnant people. Maternal participants will take one SOF/VEL tablet once daily for 12 weeks (84 days) and followed …
Intravitreal Topotecan in the Repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment With Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
Intravitreal topotecan has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic activity that we hypothesize may exhibit high efficacy for the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A high efficacy for intravitreal topotecan has been exhibited in cell cultures of PVR. At the same time, intravitreal topotecan has …
Enhancing Frontal Lobes Plasticity in Mild Cognitive Impairment
More than 5 million people live with Alzheimer's dementia (AD) in North America. No effective treatment exists yet probably because by the time AD has developed it is too late to intervene. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a clinical state that typically precedes AD. In MCI, the prefrontal cortex supports …
Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Cardiac Arrest in Pediatrics and Adults (iNOCAPA)
This study is a multi-center, double blind, randomized controlled trial of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in children and adults with cardiac arrest (CA). The purpose of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of rapidly randomizing patients to iNO or sham treatment during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or shortly after …
Oropharyngeal Exercises to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The goal of this study is to determine whether a randomized controlled trial using oropharyngeal exercises to treat sleep apnea is feasible. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is poorly tolerated by many patients. Oropharyngeal exercises (OPEs) which are commonly …
Promoting Cognitive Health in Schizophrenia
The goal of this clinical trial is to effectively implement virtually-delivered interventions in mental health institutions nationwide to improve the cognitive health of individuals living with schizophrenia. The main objectives are: To determine the clinical effectiveness of two virtual cognitive health interventions (i.e., Action-Based Cognitive Remediation or MetaCognitive Training). To …
Timing of Post-prostatectomy PSMA Imaging
The investigators will randomize patients presenting with early BCR with a negative baseline PSMA PET/CT, to upfront SRT or surveillance. Early BCR is defined as a PSA relapse of >0.1 to <0.3 ng/mL. Patients in the surveillance arm will be monitored with PSA every 3 months. A repeat PSMA PET/CT …
The SOAR Study: a Study of Geriatric Assessment and Exercise for Older Adults and Their Support Person
Phase 2 randomized controlled study using a waitlist control group. The study also has a single arm pre-post test 12-week chair-based exercise arm for those who have received the geriatric assessment in the older adults with cancer clinic (geriatric oncology clinic). Study Duration 2.5 years Study Agent/ Intervention/ Procedure Comprehensive …
The Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Treatment Adherence in Schizophrenia
This study seeks to explore the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, as an adjunctive treatment to improve antipsychotic medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). The investigators hypothesize that 20 sessions of tDCS will improve medication nonadherence in patients with SCZ.
