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.
Pain following surgery continues to be an important adverse outcome that may impact postoperative recovery. Opioids like fentanyl and hydromorphone are the primary medications used to provide analgesia, but paradoxically, may actually worsen pain when administered in the operating room. Methadone is a unique opioid which has N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocking properties, which may prevent the development of opioid-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain induced by a drug). Studies have demonstrated that methadone reduces the need for analgesic medications and decreases pain after surgery. Furthermore, the addition of methadone to a standard anesthetic has been demonstrated to increase patient satisfaction with pain management and reduce the need for opioid analgesic medications during the first month after surgery. Some investigators have described methadone as a "opioid-sparing opioid" and recommended its use as part of a multimodal pain management strategy. There is a growing interest in reducing the use of traditional opioids in the operating room. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare pain scores and analgesic requirements in two groups of patients; one group will be randomized to receive a small dose of methadone at the start of surgery. The other group will be randomized to receive an equal volume of saline (salt water-control group) at the start of surgery. We hypothesize that patients randomized to be administered methadone at the start of surgery will have less postoperative pain and may require lower doses of pain medications than those given saline-control..
The purpose of this exploratory study is to determine how well maternal serum biomarkers and placental micro-particles (MP) correlate with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) at the time of cesarean delivery in women with suspected PAS compared to women without PAS. Our aim is to determine if women with PAS have a unique MP and protein signature at the time of delivery compared with women without PAS.
The primary objective of this Phase 1 study is to evaluate the therapeutic safety and feasibility of the investigational product (IP), RP-L401.
Emergency study to test the safety of Descartes-30 cells in patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) AND COVID-19
This is a Phase 2 study to investigate the safety and efficacy of ATI-450 for the Maintenance of Remission in Patients with Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) Previously Managed with Anti-IL-1 Therapy.
This is a prospective, single center, single-arm clinical trial in 20 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing PD-1/PD-L1-directed therapy. This research is being done to find out if the radioactive compound called [18F]F-AraG is a helpful imaging agent for detecting changes in cancer's anti-tumor immune response (or activation of T-cell) levels for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will receive a cancer immunotherapy regimen (immunotherapy works by encouraging the body's own immune system to attack the cancer cells).
This trial investigates the changes in physical and functional tests over time in patients with suspected acute graft versus host disease (from a hematologic stem cell transplant) who started treatment with corticosteroids. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Steroids are used to treat suspected graft-versus-host disease. Steroid myopathy (muscle weakness and fatigue) is a significant side effect of high dose steroid therapy, and can impair activities of daily of life. The goal of this trial is to learn how patients' physical activities and functions change over time while on GVHD-steroid treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in participants with advanced/metastatic or recurrent malignancies who receive gebasaxturev (V937) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475). The primary objective for Part 1 is to evaluate the objective response rate, and the primary objective for Part 2 is to determine the safety and tolerability of gebasaxturev administered in combination with pembrolizumab. With Amendment 4, this study will be terminated once all participants who have completed or discontinued gebasaxturev treatment and are only receiving pembrolizumab may be enrolled in a pembrolizumab extension study, if available, to continue pembrolizumab monotherapy for up to 35 cycles from first pembrolizumab dose on V937-013.
This is a phase I, open-label trial of disulfiram in combination with copper gluconate in patients with treatment-refractory multiple myeloma. The trial is designed to assess the Phase 2 Recommended Dose (RP2D) of disulfiram and copper gluconate in combination. The trial will open with dose escalation, followed to an expansion cohort to further characterize the safety and tolerance of the combination. Dose escalation will utilize a standard 3+3 design and will test up to five dose levels. Dose levels will be separated into two sequential parts defined by the fixed dose of copper as copper gluconate administered with ascending doses of disulfiram. Part 1 of dose escalation will consist of dose levels 0 and 1 with the option to reduce to Dose Level -1 if Dose Level 0 is deemed intolerable. Part 2 will test dose levels 2 and 3. The Dose Level deemed to be the RP2D will be used in dose expansion.
