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 study will test whether a new intervention, Virtual Hope Box Enhanced Facilitation (VHB-EF), reduces suicide risk in Veterans after discharge from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Additionally, this study will also conduct interviews with Veterans and healthcare providers to explore barriers and facilitators to future adoption of the VHB-EF intervention in healthcare settings.
The objectives of this study are to investigate the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of repeated ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions in adolescents with severe posttraumatic stress disorder. The study will enroll adolescents with a current diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to complete three intravenous ketamine administrations immediately prior to a psychotherapy session over the span of six weeks. All participants will complete an initial set of preparatory sessions, and each dosing session will be followed by three integration sessions. Finally, participants will complete 7 nights of at-home sleep recordings. The investigators hypothesize that this protocol will be well-tolerated by adolescents and that patients will experience decreases in PTSD symptom severity at follow-up.
This trial will obtain biomarker data on the possible preventive effects of omeprazole and low-dose aspirin in colorectal tissue. Persons who have had 5 or more adenomas, 5 or more serrated polyps, or an incompletely removed adenoma or serrated polyp in the colon or rectum are potentially eligible. Before participating in the study, study staff will explain the study and review the consent form. If you are interested and provide consent, study staff will then confirm your eligibility. Once enrolled, participants will take two 20 mg omeprazole tablets and two 81 mg aspirin tablets each day before the first meal each day for 25-45 days. The study does involve biopsies of the colorectal tissue before and after taking the study medications. The biopsies are samples of tissue, about the size of a grain of rice, that will be taken from the colon or rectum before and after taking the study medications. This is done during a usual, clinical colonoscopy exam and during one more limited exam, called flexible sigmoidoscopy, that is done for the research study. The flexible sigmoidoscopy requires less preparation. Which procedure comes first depends on what fits best with each participant's clinical scenario. Biopsies of both normal mucosa and polyps (if possible) are collected.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness, safety, and health-care utilization and costs of a preoperative Staphylococcus aureus (SA) screening and decolonization bundle, (5 days of nasal mupirocin ointment, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) body wash, and CHG mouth rinse), in eradicating SA carriage compared to other SA decolonization approaches. The study will conduct a single center pilot trial to compare efficacy of different SA decolonization approaches in pre-surgical patients, in eradicating SA carriage, after obtaining informed consent. The study will compare four different approaches, Arm 1) screen for SA carriage and using the three-drug decolonization bundle for 5 days among patients with SA colonization, non SA carriers in this arm will get two pre-op showers with CHG soap, Arm 2) all participants receive the three drug decolonization bundle, Arm 3) all receive pre-op nasal povidone iodine the day of surgery plus two pre-op showers with CHG soap, and Arm 4) all receive nasal alcohol gel the day of surgery plus two pre op showers with CHG soap. The primary efficacy outcome will be eradication of SA colonization at all 5 body sites. Secondary outcomes will be SA surgical site infections (SSIs), all SSIs, and SA healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The study will also compare eradication of SA from each of the 5 body sites as a secondary outcome.
This is a pilot, randomized, window-of-opportunity treatment trial in which participants with previously untreated prostate cancer (PCa) who are candidates for surgery (radical prostatectomy)
This is a voluntary research study to test use of a phone app that is intended to support breastfeeding specifically for African American and Black people. This is called a "pilot" study because the app is still in development. The goal of this research is to see if mothers use the app more when they receive text "nudges" to look at it compared to not getting those "nudges". The research project is being conducted by Lydia Furman MD. The purpose of the app (which is currently in clickable "wireframe" status, a "pre" app phase) is to support and promote breastfeeding specifically for mothers and fathers/partners who are African American or Black. Other breastfeeding apps have pictures mainly of White or Asian mothers and information that is not oriented toward African American mothers. This app aims to provide accurate and needed breastfeeding information that is culturally attuned. Up to 24 participants will be enrolled at UHCMC, including up to 20 mothers. Other participants will include up to 4 African American or Black fathers/partners whose partners are interested in breastfeeding.
A randomized controlled trial of a structured conversation between clinicians and patients/surrogates to facilitate shared decision-making for intensive care use in seriously ill older adults being admitted to the intensive care unit from the emergency department.
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, within-subject (split-face), multicenter, prospective study to investigate whether RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent is non-inferior to RHA® Redensity with lidocaine in terms of injection site pain felt by the subject during injection. At screening, the Principal Investigator (PI) evaluated subjects' perioral rhytid severity (using the Perioral Rhytid Severity Rating Scale; PR-SRS) to confirm eligibility and to establish a pre-treatment score for assessing aesthetic improvement. At Visit 1, RHA® Redensity with new anesthetic agent was administered in a random sequence (first or second injection) and side of the mouth (left or right) and RHA® Redensity with lidocaine was administered to the other side. Study subjects and the PI injecting study devices were blinded. Immediately after injection of an upper perioral quadrant, subjects rated the injection site pain experienced during injection using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Injection site pain in each side of the mouth was also assessed at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after injection of the upper quadrant. Safety evaluation consisted of AE assessments, a 30-day CTR (Common Treatment Response) diary and a follow-up call performed by the study site at 72 hours after injection. Subjects attended Visit 2 (30 days post-injection) where effectiveness and safety assessments were conducted. Subjects who presented with an unresolved clinically significant device related AE at Visit 2 received a optional follow-up phone call no later than 30 days after Visit 2. If the clinically significant AE remained unresolved, the Investigator requested that the subject attended the optional in-clinic follow-up visit (i.e., Visit 3) within 5 working days. Follow-up of the clinically significant AE continued until the AE was resolved or the TI determines that additional follow-up was not necessary.
This study aims to determine the safety and tolerability of combining sequential therapy of Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) and Immunotherapy (IO) for patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreas cancer following first-line treatment with chemotherapy and ablative stereotactic magnetic resonance image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (A-SMART).
This study aims to assess the clinical significance of cleavage stage (Day 3) assisted hatching compared to assisted hatching at the blastocyst stage (Day 5,6,7) of embryo development at the time of trophectoderm (TE) biopsy for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) for treatment of their infertility.
