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.
Background: Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) and KSHV-multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) occur in people living with HIV. These diseases cause severe inflammation that can be fatal if not treated. Objective: To test a drug (pacritinib) in people with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. They must have at least one symptom. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. Their ability to perform everyday tasks will be reviewed. In some participants who have Kaposi sarcoma (KS) with KICS or MCD, these individuals may need a bronchoscopy and/or endoscopy of the upper or lower intestine: A flexible tube with a camera and a light source will be inserted through the mouth or anus to see these structures and assess any KS. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day, every day, for up to 24 weeks. They will write down each dose in a diary. Participants will visit the clinic 3 times in the first 4 weeks. Their visits will taper to once every 4 weeks. Imaging scans, blood tests, and other tests will be repeated during these visits. Participants will give samples of saliva. They may opt to allow tissues samples to be taken from their skin and lymph nodes. Participants will have follow-up visits 7 days and 30 days after their last dose of pacritinib. After that, they will visit the clinic every 3 months for up to 1 year. The physical exam and blood, heart, and imaging tests will be repeated at these visits.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test an educational program about dementia in older adults living with epilepsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can providing education on healthy aging, chronic disease management, dementia, and modifiable lifestyle dementia risk factors improve dementia knowledge and health literacy among older adults with epilepsy? 2. Can aging related education and resources improve quality of life among older adults with epilepsy? Participants will: - Complete a 12-week group educational program. - Complete pre- and post-program evaluation.
This study will investigate the anti-anhedonic efficacy of a novel neurostimulation strategy termed accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) in participants with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
This study involves using a augmented reality (AR) system to assist in the placement of a subdural evacuating portal system (SEPS). In the first part of the study, all participants will have skin marking of an AR-guided and non-AR-guided site to determine feasibility and method accuracy. In the second part, subjects will be randomized to AR-guided and non-AR-guided SEPS placement to determine efficacy.
Over the last decade, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Due to the challenging nature of visualizing lesion formation in real time and ensuring an effective transmural lesion, different surrogate measures of lesion quality have been used. The Ablation Index (AI) is a variable incorporating power delivery in its formula and combining it with CF and time in a weighted equation which aims at allowing for a more precise estimation of lesion depth and quality when ablating VAs. AI guidance has previously been shown to improve outcomes in atrial and ventricular ablation in patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVC). However research on outcomes following AI-guidance for VT ablation specifically in patients with structural disease and prior myocardial infarction remains sparse. We aim at conducting a prospective observational multicenter registry investigating the efficacy and safety of AI-guided VA ablation in patient with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
This application describes a 3-year, randomized controlled trial. Eligible, consenting adults (N=200) with existing sublingual buprenorphine (SLB) prescriptions who enter Middlesex County House of Corrections (MCHOC) as pre-trial detainees will be randomized at admission on a 1:1 basis to be inducted onto extended-release buprenorphine (XRB) at the time of admission (experimental condition) or remain in SLB (E-TAU; all participants will also receive naloxone). The two approaches will be compared with regard to (1) the percentage of participants released from jail with at least 7 days of buprenorphine in their system, (2) percentage of participants continuing MOUD treatment in the community, and (3) infractions related to buprenorphine diversion.
The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical efficacy of CYB004 participants with GAD with depressive symptoms.
Evaluate the risk of developing EFAD and/or PNAC in adult and pediatric patients 1 month of age and older, who are anticipated to need 8 weeks or longer of parenteral nutrition treatment with SMOFlipid.
Historically, participation in medical studies is highly skewed towards particular demographic groups of people. This research will invite several participants to gather a wide range of information on clinical trial experiences for follicular lymphoma patients. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that limit the ability of a person to enroll in, as well as complete a clinical trial for treatment of follicular lymphoma. The data collected from this study will help improve future outcomes for all follicular lymphoma patients as well as those in under-represented demographic groups.
Clinical studies with a distinct emphasis on mantle cell lymphoma play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this disease. These trials are instrumental in ascertaining whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broad utilization. This particular study stands out as it centers on the firsthand experiences of individuals battling mantle cell lymphoma who are actively engaged in a clinical trial featuring medicinal interventions. The primary objective is to meticulously scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this patient group.
