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 is examining how a dietary supplement called urea can be used to treat low blood sodium level. Low blood sodium level is a common problem and some studies show that many patients with low blood sodium level suffer from brain fog and/or loss of balance. Unfortunately, it is unknown at this point what the best treatment is for low blood sodium level. With this pilot research study, the investigators are hoping to learn more about whether urea is safe to take, whether patients can tolerate taking urea for several weeks, whether urea increases blood sodium level, and whether urea can help prevent the brain fog and/or loss of balance that some patients with low blood sodium level suffer from. The information obtained with this study is intended to be used to design a larger study in the future to get a definite answer whether urea is beneficial for patients with low blood sodium level.
African Americans living with chronic health conditions are more likely to experience depression and other mental health disorders than their healthy counterparts, and are more likely to experience severe depression than whites, but less likely to be diagnosed or receive treatment. One especially vulnerable group is patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder that primarily affects people of African descent, many of whom live in disadvantaged circumstances and are cared for in under-resourced settings. SCD causes severe acute and chronic pain, end-organ damage, and early mortality. Patients transitioning from adolescence to adulthood (ages16-30) are at high risk for mental health disorders and suicide. Using mobile technology, the investigators can provide high-quality, evidence-based behavioral mental health treatment that reaches patients in different settings. Digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for treating depression and anxiety and can be brought to scale at low cost. Despite the promise of digital CBT, there are barriers to its widespread use, particularly in low-resource settings serving minorities. Qualitative data show that cultural factors-lack of relatability, representation, and perceived stigma regarding mental health treatment-limit engagement with digital CBT programs. Population-and setting-specific adaptations to interventions can lead to their successful implementation and wider use. The investigators will work with a digital CBT program to decrease stigma and make it more relatable and relevant to young adults with SCD, by devising changes to advertising and promotion, and tailoring communication with an integrated health coach, Aim 1: Use implementation science (ImS) and human-centered design methods to define the barriers to delivering routine mental health screening and digital CBT to adolescents and young adults with SCD. Aim 2: Rapidly iterate, test, and evaluate adaptations to the implementation strategy for a coach-enhanced digital mental health service. Aim 3: Demonstrate that a population-specific implementation strategy improves engagement with a digital CBT-based mental health service. The investigators will capitalize on our mobile technology tools, interdisciplinary expertise, and community-based partnerships to investigate the implementation of digital CBT into low-resource clinics and community-based organizations serving adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of using of a portable exoskeleton for walking training in persons with Parkinson's disease that have gait mobility problems and/or postural instability.
The main purpose of this study in healthy participants is to learn more about the safety of LY3509754 and any side effects that might be associated with it. Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3509754 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it.
This study will evaluate the effects of non-invasive stimulation of the spinal cord in people with spinal cord injury.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of CYH33 in combination with olaprib in patients with DDR gene mutations and/or PIK3CA mutations, in patients who have progressed on prior PARP inhibitor, and in patients with recurrent high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are platinum resistant or refractory. The study will assess if this combination will optimize anti-tumor activity, block tumor growth and overcome the resistance to PARP inhibitor treatment. The study consists 2 parts. In Part 1 dose escalation, the objective is to determine the maximum toleration dose (MTD) of the combination. The final recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CYH33 in combination with olaparib will be based on the totality of an overall assessment of available safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy which could be the MTD or a dose level lower in specific cohorts of patients. In Part 2 dose expansion, the main objective is to evaluate the efficacy at RP2D.
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, Phase 2 umbrella study of various neoadjuvant treatment combinations in participants who have muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and are cisplatin-ineligible or refusing cisplatin therapy and awaiting radical cystectomy.
Primary Aim: Compare physiological (e.g., heart rate) and clinical responses (e.g., symptom provocation) of adolescent and adult athletes (14-35 years of age) completing either a structured treadmill running or a dynamic aerobic exertion protocol during the subacute phase of sport-related concussion recovery (3-30 days after injury). Secondary Aim: Examine potential effects of clinically-relevant factors that influence symptom responses to controlled aerobic exertion, such as age, physical activity patterns, motion sensitivities, psychological responses to injury, and sleep quality, among subjects completing controlled aerobic and dynamic exertion following sport-related concussion
This study seeks to compare the accuracy and acceptability of HPV testing self-sampling kit and standard clinician-sampling for HPV testing. The primary outcome of this study is the concordance between screening results on self-sampling kits compared to clinician-collected HPV test, Pap smear results, and colposcopy. Secondary endpoints will include acceptability of self-sampling and barriers to cervical cancer screening. These endpoints will be analyzed to try to circumvent barriers to the cervical cancer screening and ascertain whether self-sampling is a viable alternative.
Randomized, double-blind prospective trial to test the efficacy and acceptability of therapeutic, antiseptic mouth rinses to inactivate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva of COVID-19 positive patients aged 18-65 years old. All mouthrinses are commercially available and will be used according to on-label instructions. Patients will be randomized to a mouthrinse and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a one minute mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from patients at 15 minute intervals thereafter up to an hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). The samples will be stored and used for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viral infectivity assays. Patients will also complete a short-survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. This study involves 480 subject participants and one, 75-90 minute visit.
