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.
The primary purpose of this research study is to test the safety and possible harms of cemiplimab/peg-interferon-alpha, when it is given to participants at different dose levels. The researchers want to find out what effects (good and bad) cemiplimab/Peg-Interferon has on participants with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (aCSCC) so that they can find the best dose to treat aCSCC and reduce side effects as much as possible.
Hemodynamic optimization of critically ill patients is a goal for clinicians in order to afford the patient the best possible outcomes. Being able to precisely and rapidly determine patient fluid responsiveness provides the bedside physician and nursing staff the information needed to make critical decisions in regard to the patient's fluid status and management of additional fluids and medications. As fluid management and cardiac output determination are linked to better decision-making and improved outcomes in ICU, the use of a dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness becomes a key tool for patient management. This study is designed to collect treatment and outcome data on patients that have undergone hemodynamic monitoring during CRRT therapy.
This study will look at the effects of lemborexant on Alzheimer's disease biomarkers found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood in individuals who are poor sleepers
Boston Medical Center (BMC) serves many underserved, low-income patients and has developed an innovative strategy to combat food insecurity including a preventative food pantry, a teaching kitchen, and a rooftop farm that provides fresh produce directly to the patients. The presence of this well-established, three-pronged approach places BMC in an ideal position to develop a nutritional education intervention that supports experiential learning in this high-risk population. For this first exploratory study, 75 enrolled participants will be given a free mobile application with recipes designed to build habits. Participants will cook at least three meals weekly for two months using the app. Self-reported survey data and activity on the app will be collected and used to assess the feasibility of teaching cooking skills through a mobile application.
This randomized-controlled trial will study on the effect of testosterone therapy on patients undergoing total hip replacement. Subjects will be male patients > 50 years with testosterone deficiency undergoing total hip replacement due to severe degenerative joint disease. All participants will receive a total hip replacement and will be randomized to either testosterone therapy or placebo. A total of 80 subjects will be recruited randomized into 2 groups of 40 subjects. Testosterone therapy will be administered once to each patient at 2 weeks before surgery. The long-term follow up will be the same as all patients with patient-reported outcomes after total hip replacement, VAS for pain and satisfaction at regular intervals.
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety of tagraxofusp when given with or without azacitidine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission with measurable residual disease who will undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Tagraxofusp is a recombinant protein consisting of IL-3 conjugated to a truncated diptheria toxin. The IL-3 attaches to the cancer cells and the toxic substance kills them. Azacitidine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Tagraxofusp and azacitidine may work better to kill cancer cells and eradicate measurable residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Prolonged, high intensity work in a hot environment results in significant strain on the body, known as heat strain. Heat strain in hot occupational settings such as agriculture, fire suppression, and military work can lead to ~20% of workers exceeding the glomerular filtration rate indicated thresholds for acute kidney injury (AKI). However, it is unclear whether these individuals truly experienced AKI or if these were normal, healthy physiologic responses. To better determine if AKI occurs in the staggering number of workers previously reported, AKI biomarkers are needed in addition to kidney function markers (e.g., glomerular filtration rate) to characterize this response. The product of urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) is a promising Food and Drug Administration approved biomarker indicating risk of AKI and is currently used in hospitalized individuals. The usefulness of this biomarker in determining AKI in healthy individuals during heat strain is now beginning to be understood. Consecutive days of heat strain can result in repeated AKI, which is hypothesized to lead to chronic kidney disease. There is an epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional causes occurring in workers who undergo repeated days heat strain, including approximately 15% of outdoor workers in Central America. Of the few studies that investigated consecutive days of work in the heat, we demonstrated that participants exceed the glomerular filtration rate indicated threshold for AKI during consecutive days of heat strain. This project will determine whether [TIMP-2 x IGFBP7] increases during occupational relevant heat exposures in a healthy, active population. Additionally, this project will compare the impact of repeated exposures to a hot environment on risk of AKI.
The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of an augmented reality headset for visualization of ultrasound images during ultrasound guided placement of an intravenous catheter.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of ReliZORB improves nutrition tolerance and helps critically ill patients meet their nutrition goals. Subjects in the intensive care unit will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to receive ReliZORB or placebo cartridges with enteral feedings for 5 days. Blood and stool samples will be collected to test for nutrition and inflammation.
The primary goal of this study will be to determine if perioperative IV Tranexamic Acid (TXA) administration will reduce intra-operative bleeding and subsequently improve visual clarity during surgery and reduce operative traction time in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Additionally, this study aims to determine whether IV TXA injections will reduce post-operative pain and affect hip-specific patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.
