There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. 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.
This clinical trial is designed to assess the agreement of the TEG® 6s system using the Citrated K, KH, RTH, FFH, cartridge (hereafter referred to as the Heparin Neutralization (HN) Cartridge) with its comparators.
In this 2-armed randomized cross-sectional experimental study of healthy participants with yoga experience, we will examine the relationship between 4 self-reported enhancing psychological factors, cortical activity captured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and pain sensitivity (mechanical pressure pain tolerance) captured with algometry. Specifically, we will examine the correlates of interoceptive awareness and mindful awareness with cortical activity (Aim 1a) and pain tolerance (Aim 1b); determine cortical activity responsiveness of two brief awareness-focused meditations - a resting-based body scan practice and yoga practice (Aim 2a); characterize cortical activity profiles with sequentially delivered body scan and yoga practices (Aim 2b); and elucidate the relationship between interoceptive awareness with healthy emotionality and psychological wellbeing (Aim 3). Our central hypotheses are that (Aim 1a) higher interoceptive awareness and mindful awareness will moderately correlate with higher cortical activity for both awareness-focused meditation practices; (Aim 1b) individuals sub-grouped into the 'acceptance in action cluster' based on 2 self-report measures will exhibit higher pain tolerance; (Aim 2a) cortical activity will be higher in the yoga practice compared to the body scan practice; and (Aim 2b) higher cortical activity will be observed in the body scan->yoga intervention sequence compared to the yoga->body scan intervention sequence. Furthermore, (Aim 3) we predict that interoceptive awareness will moderately correlate with healthy emotionality and psychological well-being.
In the proposed research, we will elucidate the comparative effectiveness of standalone physiotherapy (PT) vs. PT augmented with a self-guided, app-based Healthy Minds Innovation wellbeing program (PT+HMI) aimed at cultivating awareness, connection, insight, and purpose for people with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patient-centered educational material delivered before and immediately after surgery can help improve outcomes for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
We examined a Community Health Worker (CHW) program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Veteran Participants. The goal of this study was to assess participants' perceived acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention, explore participants' COPD health outcomes, and gather insights from participants and CHWs to inform potential improvements. Veteran participants enrolled in the 12-week intervention and received a series of 9 CHW home, phone, or video visits. These visits provided education and chronic disease self-management practices to improve COPD health. Researchers examined the participant and CHW perception of the intervention through qualitative interviews and surveys.
Despite the increasingly common use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies in treating cystic fibrosis (CF), it is still largely unknown whether or not other chronic therapies can be safely stopped. This SIMPLIFY sub-study is being done to test whether or not it is safe to stop taking dornase alfa (Dnase) in those people that are also taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). ETI is a combination CFTR modulator therapy that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with CF who have at least one F508del mutation. The three drugs that make up ETI work together to allow many more chloride ions to move into and out of the cells, improving the balance of salt and water in the lungs. These changes result in better clearance of mucus from the lungs and improvements in lung function. Dornase alfa (Dnase) also improves clearance of mucus from the lungs to support lung function and has been available to people with CF for many years. Dnase is considered to be relatively burdensome and it is not known whether Dnase can improve or maintain lung function above what is already gained through ETI use. The goal of this SIMPLIFY sub-study is to get information about whether or not it is safe to stop Dnase by testing if there is a change in lung function in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are assigned to stop taking Dnase as compared to those who are assigned to keep taking Dnase while continuing to take ETI. This is a sub study of master protocol SIMPLIFY-IP-19, NCT04378153. The sub study investigating the impact of discontinuing and continuing hypertonic saline is registered under NCTXXXXXXX (will add once available).
Despite the increasingly common use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies in treating cystic fibrosis (CF), it is still largely unknown whether or not other chronic therapies can be safely stopped. This SIMPLIFY sub-study is being done to test whether or not it is safe to stop taking inhaled hypertonic saline in those people that are also taking elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). ETI is a combination CFTR modulator therapy that was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for people with CF who have at least one F508del mutation. The three drugs that make up ETI work together to allow many more chloride ions to move into and out of the cells, improving the balance of salt and water in the lungs. These changes result in better clearance of mucus from the lungs and improvements in lung function. Inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) also improves clearance of mucus from the lungs to support lung function and has been available to people with CF for many years. HS is considered to be relatively burdensome and it is not known whether HS can improve or maintain lung function above what is already gained through ETI use. The goal of this SIMPLIFY sub-study is to get information about whether or not it is safe to stop hypertonic saline by testing if there is a change in lung function in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are assigned to stop taking HS as compared to those who are assigned to keep taking HS while continuing to take ETI.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes called EGFR and HER2 mutations. Advanced NSCLC refers to a type of lung cancer that has spread from the lungs to nearby tissues or other body parts. People with advanced NSCLC may have changes in certain proteins like EGFR and HER2, that cause uncontrolled cell growth and increased spread of cancer. In this study, participants will be healthy and will not benefit from taking the study treatment, BAY2927088. However, the study will provide information about how to test BAY2927088 in future studies with people who have advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. BAY2927088 is under development for the treatment of advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. It is expected to work against these changed proteins, which might slow down the spread of cancer. BAY2927088 is broken down by an enzyme called CYP3A4 inside the body. Itraconazole is a drug that inhibits the activity of CYP3A4 while carbamazepine is a drug that enhances the activity of CYP3A4. Giving these drugs together will allow researchers to learn how the blood levels of BAY2927088 change when the CYP3A4 activity is inhibited or enhanced. The main purpose of this study is to find out how itraconazole and carbamazepine may affect the blood levels of BAY2927088. For this, researchers will measure the following for BAY2927088 when it is given with and without itraconazole and carbamazepine - Area under the curve (AUC): a measure of the total amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood over time - Maximum observed concentration (Cmax): the highest amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood The study will have 2 treatment groups. In Group 1, participants will take: - BAY2927088 as a single dose on Days 1 and 8. - Itraconazole once daily on Days 5 to 11. In Group 2, participants will take: - BAY2927088 as a single dose on Days 1 and 14. - Different doses of carbamazepine two times a day on Days 3 to 15. Participants will be in this study for about 7 weeks in Group 1 and 8 weeks in Group 2. Participants will visit the study clinic: - at least once, 2 to 28 days before the treatment starts in both groups, to confirm they can take part in this study - on Day 1, and will stay at the clinic until Day 12 in Group 1 and Day 16 in Group 2 - once, 7 to 10 days later from last dose of BAY2927088 in both groups, for a health check up During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - perform physical examinations - collect blood samples from the participants to measure the levels of BAY2927088 - check participants' health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests, and checking heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. The study doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.
The investigators examined whether brief, app-based interventions were helpful in alleviating mental health symptoms during the transition to college. In particular, the investigators were interested in whether a brief mobile-app mindfulness intervention combined with mood monitoring was more effective in alleviating first-year students' psychological distress than mood monitoring alone.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test normal participants. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do the participant's pectoralis minor muscles change length immediately after performing an exercise that recruits the scapular retractor muscles? Participants will have their pectoralis minor muscle measured, then perform an exercise recruiting the scapular retractor muscles, and then have their pectoralis muscle measured again.
