There are about 2656 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Puerto Rico. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if tadalafil can slow the decline in walking ability of boys who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The study will also assess the safety of tadalafil and any side effects that might be associated with it in boys who have DMD. Participants will receive study treatment (tadalafil or placebo) for the first 48 weeks of the study, and can then continue into an open label extension (OLE) that consists of two periods during which all participants will receive tadalafil. In OLE period 1, all participants will receive tadalafil for 48 weeks. Participants completing OLE period 1 will continue into OLE period 2 and will receive tadalafil for at least another 48 weeks.
To determine if aclerastide (DSC127) is effective in increasing incidence of complete wound closure up to 10 weeks confirmed 2 weeks later, compared with vehicle (gel without active ingredient) and compared with a standard-of-care gel, in subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) who have chronic Wagner Grade 1 or 2 diabetic foot ulcers, 0.75 - 6cm2 in size.
This study examines the hemodynamic and hemolytic properties of two additional smaller size valves to the On-X line of valves already approved by FDA.
The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial in 200 overweight/obese pregnant women and their offspring. The prenatal intervention will emphasize improving diet and physical activity. The lifestyle intervention will be delivered within an empowerment theoretical framework through a combination of group sessions, individual counseling, and by monitoring compliance to diet and physical activity to further tailor the intervention. The post-partum intervention sessions will include mothers and their offspring and will focus on breastfeeding, improving physical activity and quality of the diet and feeding practices through the first post-partum year. As part of routine prenatal care, participants in both the control and intervention arms will be given health-related advice. Since the majority of participants are expected to be eligible for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, both groups will also receive assistance through WIC as per their routine policies. Our primary outcome is Gestational Weight Gain (GWG). The major secondary outcome of interest is infant BMI z-score at 12 months of age, and the investigators will also be evaluating several metabolic outcomes in mothers and infants.
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of PriMatrix Moist Wound Therapy (MWT) with Standard of Care MWT for the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers in subjects with diabetes mellitus and without significantly compromised arterial circulation.
