Northbrook, Illinois Clinical Trials

Subjects with RRMS who have experienced a relapse and who will receive 3 to 5 (given over a period of up to 7 days) days of treatment with high dose steroids (oral or IV) within 14 days of the onset of relapse symptoms are candidates for the current study. At ...

The objective of the Zoster Eye Disease Study (ZEDS) is to determine whether prolonged suppressive oral antiviral treatment with valacyclovir reduces complications of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO), thereby improving clinical outcomes in this common and potentially vision- and life-threatening disease. There are 1,000,000 new cases of Herpes Zoster (HZ) per ...

In brief, the objective of this study is to investigate whether the drug Glanatec which is approved in Japan for glaucoma and ocular hypertension, can be used in patients with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy who have had a descemet stripping procedure without endothelial keratoplasty. While some limited data exists as a ...

A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab given in combination with Ipilimumab in patients with advanced cancers. The initial group will enroll patients with newly diagnosed Stage 4 or non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.

The drug being tested in this study is called Ixazomib. Ixazomib is being tested to treat people who have MM. This study will look at the effectiveness and safety in participants who take ixazomib in addition to lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The study will enroll approximately 160 participants. Participants will initially ...

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of in-hospital initiation of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) vs. enalapril on time averaged proportional change in NT-proBNP in patients who have been stabilized following hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and reduced ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 40%).

This study is to determine early and more chronic changes in concentrations of biomarkers related to mechanisms of action (MOA) and effects of sacubitril/valsartan therapyover a period of 12 months, and correlate these biomarker changes with cardiac remodeling parameters, patient-reported outcomes and cardiovascular outcomes.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate 3 fixed doses (5, 10, and 20 mg oral tablets) of vortioxetine once daily in the prevention of relapse in adult subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have responded to acute treatment with vortioxetine.

Vortioxetine is a novel antidepressant with hypothetical multimodal mechanism of action. It is thought to work through a combination of multiple pharmacological modes of action: 5-HT (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) reuptake inhibition, 5-HT3 (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) and 5-HT7 (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) receptor antagonism, 5-HT1A (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) receptor agonism, and 5-HT1B ...

Hypothesis The hypothesis of this study is that the group taking trimethoprim will have a lower recurrence rate than those taking methenamine hippurate based on the literature. The investigators aim to identify to what degree that difference is and whether or not it is an acceptable difference given the greater ...
