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 involves patients that have a cancer called diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL), or classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (hereafter referred to collectively as lymphoma). Patients' lymphoma has come back or not gone away after treatment. A previous research study conducted at Baylor combined two ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that bind to bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances to prevent them causing disease. T-cells are special infection-fighting white blood cells that can kill tumor cells or cells infected with bacteria and viruses. Both have shown promise treating cancer, but neither has been strong enough to cure most patients. In the previous study, an antibody called anti-CD30 which is found on the surface of some T-cells and cancer cells, and had been used to treat lymphoma with limited success, was joined to the T-cells through a process called gene transfer, resulting in CD30.CAR T cells. Another study saw encouraging responses using CD30.CAR T cells made in a lab from a patients' own blood, before being injected back into the same patient to treat their lymphoma. These cells are termed 'autologous' because they are given back to the original patient. In another (ongoing) study patients were treated with allogeneic CD30.CAR T cells, which are made from healthy donors instead of the patients. The use of allogenic cells avoids a lengthy manufacture time since the products are stored as a bank and available on demand. This ongoing trial of allogeneic banked CD30.CAR-EBVSTs has preliminarily shown promising clinical activity with no safety concerns. With the current study, we plan to extend the anti-cancer effects of the CD30.CAR T cell by attaching another molecule called C7R, which has made CAR T cells have deeper and longer anticancer effects in laboratory studies. We aim to study the safety and effectiveness of allogeneic banked CD30.CAR-EBVST cells that also carry the C7R molecule. Investigators will learn the side effects of C7R modified CD30.CAR-EBVST cells in patients and see whether this therapy may help lymphoma patients.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how people make trust-related decisions in healthy aging. Participants will be asked to complete one study session on the University of Central Florida (UCF) campus. The study session will be conducted in a private testing room and include a series of computerized cognitive tasks and learning games, as well as surveys of your beliefs, preferences, and past experiences. The study will take a total of approximately 3.5 hours to completed. You will be allowed to take breaks during the session as needed. If you begin the study but do not complete the session, you will receive credit commensurate with your participation.
Standard of care therapy and all FDA approved adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma continue to provide < 12-month progression free survival (PFS) and < 24-month overall survival (OS). Standard of care therapy continues to be defined by the volume of tumor that enhances with gadolinium on standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators have identified a significant tumor burden in non-enhancing (NE) regions beyond the contrast-enhancing (CE) portion of tumor. Furthermore, the investigators have adapted a pH-sensitive technique called amine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI to identify tumor cells in NE regions with high sensitivity and specificity. This study is a randomized trial of CEST based resections versus standard of care in newly diagnosed glioblastoma with primary endpoint of progression free survival and secondary endpoints of overall survival and quality of life metrics. The hypothesis being tested is whether surgical resection of infiltrating tumor cells visualized by CEST MRI contributes to survival in glioblastoma patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the low glycemic index diet in pregnant people with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the low glycemic index tolerable in pregnant people with epilepsy? - Does the low glycemic index alter seizure frequency in pregnant people with epilepsy? - Does the low glycemic index alter the gut bacteria & associated metabolic pathways in pregnant people with epilepsy? Participants will start the low glycemic index diet during pregnancy and will provide stool and blood samples a maximum of 3 times during study duration. Researchers will compare pregnant people with epilepsy on the diet to pregnant people with epilepsy not on a structured diet plan to see if tolerability, seizure frequency, and gut bacteria composition & metabolites differ.
Babies with single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) are often diagnosed during pregnancy. While prenatal diagnosis has important clinical benefits, it is often stressful and overwhelming for parents, and many express a need for psychological support. HeartGPS is a psychological intervention for parents who receive their baby's diagnosis of SVCHD during pregnancy. It includes 8 sessions with a psychologist, coupled with tailored educational resources, and a personalized care plan. The intervention focuses on fostering parent psychological adjustment and wellbeing, and supporting parents to bond with their baby in ways that feel right for them. Through this study, the investigators will learn if HeartGPS is useful and effective for parents and their babies when it is offered in addition to usual fetal cardiac care. The investigators will examine the effects of the HeartGPS intervention on parental anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress; fetal and infant brain development; parent-infant bonding; and infant neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The investigators will also explore mechanisms associated with stress biology during pregnancy, infant brain development and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and parent and infant intervention effects.
The objective of this study is to identify a potential pharmacologic option by assessing whether 0.01% atropine may be effective for treating bothersome floaters as measured by scores on a modified NEI VFQ-25.
To investigate the safety and technical success of EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) using the AXIOSTM lumen-apposing Metal Stent for the management of symptoms associated with gastric outlet obstruction from malignant unresectable neoplasm.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test problem solving therapy (PST) in older adults who are undergoing major surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the feasibility and acceptability of delivering PST to older surgical patients with depressive symptoms or report lacking social support in the pre-operative and post-operative setting?
The purpose of this research study is to collect health and physiological data using commercially available wristband fitness tracker devices (FitBit and Garmin devices) to help determine their accuracy and reliability at measuring percent of night spent in REM sleep, oxygen desaturation, and apnea hypopnea index compared with currently available methods of in-laboratory polysomnogram and home sleep testing.
Clinical trials, specifically focused on atopic dermatitis, are crucial in assessing the safety and efficacy of new treatments. These trials serve as fundamental instruments in determining whether emerging medications outperform standard therapies, providing compelling evidence to support wider implementation. The main goal is to thoroughly scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals among this particular group of patients.
