This trial is a pilot-scale, single institution randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of administering dapagliflozin for cardiovascular risk reduction in the postpartum period. The target population is patients at high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes within five years post-delivery. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either: 1) dapagliflozin (10mg daily) for six months (DAPA group) or 2) an orally administered, daily placebo (Control group). The study hypothesizes: The dapagliflozin group will have higher cardiovascular risk reduction scores than the Control Group.
This study proposes a three-arm randomized-controlled trial (RCT) that evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of combining a mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) and open-label placebo (OLP) treatment for individuals with chronic pain. Individuals with chronic pain will be recruited to participate in an 8-week trial, with a subsequent 3-month post-treatment follow-up. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following three conditions: 1. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) 2. OLP treatment 3. combination of MBSR and OLP treatment
The goal of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to Placebo in adult participants with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
This study will enroll approximately 100 HIV-negative persons, aged18-45 years, and assigned female sex at birth from sites in the United States, Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The study will assess the acceptability and safety of two placebo vaginal films. The placebo films do not contain any active medication, are the same size, but differ by shape (square versus rounded corners). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two films and asked to use (self-insert) the assigned film two times (approximately one month apart). Participants will be asked to refrain from sexual activity during the first month of use and may resume usual sexual activity during the second month of use. The study involves answering questions, undergoing pelvic examinations, and collecting blood and vaginal fluid samples. The study involves a total of 10 visits/contacts, including in person visits and telephone calls over approximately 9 weeks. In addition, both participants and approximately 30 of their sexual partners will be asked to take part in in depth interviews to further assess acceptability, attitudes, and experiences with film use to gauge interest in the future use of vaginal films as a HIV prevention option.
This trial aims to investigate whether placebo in isolation (open and hidden) has a specific neural signature in stroke subjects thus providing a novel mechanism to explain placebo effects that can be used to ultimately enhance stroke rehabilitation therapies.
This is a prospective, single center, double blind, randomized, crossover feasibility study of oral ketamine versus placebo for the treatment of anxiety in patients with pancreatic cancer currently receiving or within 12 weeks of receiving cancer targeted therapy. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of enrolling subjects and treatment adherence. The secondary objectives are to describe the safety and tolerability. Exploratory objectives are to assess the effect of ketamine/placebo on Depression, Anxiety, Physical Function, Pain Interference, Pain Intensity, Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, and Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities as measured by PROMIS Anxiety Short Form 7a and the PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1 of Patient Reported Outcomes, as well as changes in circulatory inflammatory cytokines, blood glutamine levels, and other biomarkers of anxiety and/or depression.
The goal of the proposed study is to examine the efficacy of using an honest placebo to relieve pain for patients with an acute pain condition. People with acute pain will receive their standard dose of opioid medication for pain management. In addition, some people will be asked to take placebo pills, honestly described as placebos, as well. Patients will answer a few short questions over the phone once per day for seven days about pain and opioid use. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the open label placebo group will take fewer opioids and have less pain than those in the treatment as usual group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of VSJ-110 compared to placebo in the treatment of dry eye.
X-CEED is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of azetukalner in adult participants diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder who are currently in a depressive episode (bipolar depression).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall survival (length of time from the start of study to date of death from any cause) for pasritamig (JNJ-78278343) in combination with best supportive care (BSC) as compared to placebo with BSC in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC; a stage of cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland and is no longer responding to hormone therapies).
