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 is a sponsor initiated, single site, first-in-human study of an investigational imaging agent for quantifying the topographically specific concentrations of the phosphodiesterase enzyme Type 4D (PDE4D) with positron emission tomography (PET) using a selective radioligand, [11C]T2310. T2310 will be measured with imaging techniques to characterize plasma exposure levels versus regionally specific target engagement fractions for oral doses of BPN14770, an investigational new drug (IND) for modulating PDE4D. BPN14770 is under evaluation for the treatment of Fragile X syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
In this trial the investigators aim to evaluate safety and efficacy of combination Ivosidenib (AG-120) and nivolumab in the context of adult patients with Isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutated acute myeloid leukemias (AML) or Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Incomplete spinal cord injuries (SCI) are the most frequent neurologic category, comprising 66.7% of all SCI cases. People with incomplete SCI may retain some ability to move the legs and therefore the capacity to regain walking. Studies that show functional improvement in locomotion via electrical stimulation of lumbosacral circuits suggest that the underlying mechanisms are neuromodulation of lumbosacral spinal cord automaticity and sensory feedback. Both epidural and transcutaneous spinal stimulation are demonstrating exciting potential to improve limb function for people after chronic SCI. Available treatment options for SCI are less than satisfactory and most often do not achieve full restoration of function. Recent experimental results suggest an exciting new approach of using electrical spinal stimulation to enable users to regain control of their weak or paralyzed muscles. Using surgically-implanted electrodes, epidural stimulation results in remarkable improvements of lower extremity function as well as autonomic functions such as bladder function and sexual function. In addition to epidural stimulation, over only the last few years a novel strategy of skin surface electrical spinal stimulation has also demonstrated exciting potential for improving walking function. Using a high-frequency stimulation pulse, current can pass through the skin without discomfort and activate the spinal cord; this results in patterned stepping movements for people without SCI and improved lower extremity function following SCI. This study will directly compare skin-surface transcutaneous stimulation with implanted epidural stimulation for improving lower extremity function.
Immunotherapy with PD-1 blockade is a first-line treatment for patients with advanced melanoma, but unfortunately most patients progress on this therapy. Recent evidence suggests that radiation can enhance the immune response in the presence of checkpoint blockade. The investigators aim to determine if radiation can elicit increased immune responses in patients who have stable or progressive disease on nivolumab.
Using various types of inhalers is the treatment cornerstone for COPD patients to control their symptoms. Many inhaler devices require minimum inspiratory effort to activate the device, COPD patients commonly use such devices. Those devices deliver the medications only when the patient forcefully inhales so the drug can reach the lungs, thus exerting their therapeutic action. The effect of appropriate use of the inhalers in patients with COPD is not well studied, and the impact of demonstrating that a patient can inhale forcefully enough to activate a device on its' effect on symptoms is also lacking in the medical literature. The purpose of this study is to find out: 1. the frequency of COPD patients demonstrating an appropriate use of inhalers that have flow-triggered systems, 2. whether the appropriate use of inhalers impacts the Quality of Life and Shortness of Breath of COPD patients, and 3. the impact of appropriate use of inhalers on FEV1 in COPD patients.
The object of this study is to investigate the use of linguistic deficits from speech samples for the early detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment and probable Alzheimer's disease. It will also evaluate whether the result of the Amyloid PET scan would confirm the effectiveness of a less expensive and less intrusive diagnostic technique through speech
The primary objective of this study is to obtain a greater understanding of the range in benefit from acoustic amplification combined with electric stimulation in cochlear implant recipients with low-frequency hearing who do not currently use the commercially approved Advanced Bionics Acoustic Earhook. The aims of this study are to 1) obtain subjective sound quality judgements of recorded speech and music samples, 2) assess vocal emotion perception, and 3) evaluate post-operative speech perception and sound field detection thresholds in CI recipients both with and without use of the acoustic ear hook.
The purpose of this study is to examine that ability of the experimental oral stent device to reduce the volume of mandible receiving >55 Gy by 50%during radiation treatment as assessed duri radiation treatment planning. Patients will have CT scans at three time-points during their standard of care radiation treatment. During these visits patients will receive scans via CT or cone beam CT scan, with both the standard and experimental oral stent devices. During radiation treatment patients will receive the standard oral stent device.
This study investigates whether a new image fusion technology can reduce patient radiation dose from CTs and/or procedure time during biopsies of lung, liver or kidney.
This is a Phase 2 randomized, dose-blind, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of treatment with KZR-616 in patients with active Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or Immune Thrombocytopenia.
