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 multicenter prospective study seeks to determine if daratumumab given, prior to HLA-identical sibling donor transplantation using alemtuzumab, low dose total-body irradiation, and sirolimus, can prevent pure red blood cell aplasia with an acceptable safety profile in patients with anti-donor red blood cell antibodies, achieving an event-free survival similar to transplanted patients without such antibodies.
The purpose of this study is to see if an applied clinical neuroscience (ACN) approach to the symptom of 'stress' has a measurable effect on an individual's self-reported stress level. Physiological markers will be measured and analyzed to potentially allow for greater insight and aid in setting up any future research on this topic. This is an independent research study.
To find the highest and/or recommended dose of TROP2-CAR-NK cells combined with cetuximab in participants with MRD CRC.
Chronic pain continues to be a major health issue, creating a significant societal burden, as it is an independent risk factor for opioid use disorder (OUD) and deaths. Acute pain episodes can often engender OUD due to lack of effective strategies to treat pain and prevent the transition to chronic pain. One potential non-opioid method for pain relief is auriculotherapy (AT), where acupuncture-like treatment is administered to the ear. The objective of this pilot study is to illustrate that AT-related brain effects can be found using functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) in patients with low back pain.
Thru-hiking the Colorado Trail presents distinct challenges owing to its diverse landscapes and high altitudes. The study aims to delve into the physiological and nutritional facets of extended wilderness trekking among thru-hikers. Activities encompass participant recruitment from the Colorado Trail Foundation community, baseline and post-trail assessments including blood lipid panel analysis and anthropometric measurements, data collection during the trail period involving recording daily mileage, exertion levels, and dietary intake, rigorous statistical analysis to explore correlations among various parameters, and adherence to ethical considerations including obtaining formal approval and ensuring informed consent procedures are followed to safeguard participants' rights and privacy. Through this endeavor, the study seeks to offer insights into the metabolic responses and cardiovascular implications associated with thru-hiking, shedding light on the interplay between diet, lifestyle factors, and metabolic health in challenging environments. The specific aims include examining the metabolic responses and cardiovascular implications associated with thru-hiking, exploring correlations between dietary intake and blood lipid profiles, and elucidating the interplay between lifestyle factors and metabolic health in demanding environments. This study is not limited to program evaluation, quality assurance, or improvement activities within a specific department or setting but rather seeks to contribute to scientific knowledge and inform evidence-based recommendations for individuals engaging in thru-hiking or similar high-intensity activities.
The purpose of this study is to assess differences in perceptions of product appeal, harm, and subsequent willingness to try cannabis edibles products with/without packaging imagery.
The opioid crisis continues to plague the United States. While great strides have been made nationwide to decrease overprescribing, improvements are still needed to appropriately educate patients on the safe and responsible use, storage and disposal of opioids. Pain after surgery is often treated with opioid medications. Opioid medications can have side effects. Some side effects are relatively minor (constipation, nausea, vomiting), while others are more severe (sedation, abnormal breathing, etc.) and can lead to serious illness or death. Opioid pain medications when used the wrong way may also be addictive. Due to theses side effects, sometimes patients feel uncomfortable about taking these medications, and doctors prescribe them very cautiously. However, when used properly and safely, opioid pain medications are excellent pain relievers. Addinex, a technology company, has developed a device to help patients take opioids more safely. In this study the investigators aim to enroll a total of 30 patients who undergo spine surgery. Half will be randomly assigned to receive a standard pill bottle with opioids at discharge and will download a mobile app so that they can record their daily pain scores and the number of opioids they take for two weeks after surgery. The other half will receive the new opioid dispenser filled with opioids and a mobile app that generates a passcode that opens that device only at designated times. For this group of patients, every time the patient wants to take an opioid, they need to go to the app, enter their pain score before the app generates a passcode. The investigators will be tracking all study patients' opioid use and pain scores for the two weeks after surgery, will count how many pills they have left over 14 days after their surgery during a live telehealth session, and ask patients how they liked using the device. Results from this study will help understand if the Addinex device could potentially be useful to patients in the future after surgeries as opposed to typical pill bottles.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well GDC-0449 (vismodegib) works for treating patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and who have a smoothened or patched 1 genetic mutation. Vismodegib is a type of medication called a hedgehog signaling pathway antagonist and works by blocks a type of protein involved in tissue growth and repair and may block the growth of cancer cells.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well crizotinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and who have MET gene amplification. Crizotinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of enzymes that cancer cells need to grow and spread. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if the combination of experimental drug ASTX727 and Nivolumab enhances the antitumor immune response in participants will recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Participants will take a pill called ASTX727 for 4 or 5 days every month followed by an injection of Nivolumab one week after the first dose of study medication.
