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.
The purpose of this study is to determine in hospitalized adult participants infected with human metapneumovirus (hMPV - a virus closely related to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and has been identified as an important cause of acute respiratory infections, affecting all age groups) the dose-response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral activity based on nasal hMPV shedding using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
This study aims to determine if a single intravenous (IV) dose of ketamine given in the emergency department (ED) can provide a long term reduction in suicidal ideation, lower time to ED discharge, and increase discharge to home or voluntary treatment facilities all while being safe.
Gastroparesis is a chronic, morbid and costly neuromuscular disorder of the stomach characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of gross structural abnormalities. The periprandial symptoms associated with this disease can preclude adequate oral intake and often lead to weight loss and nutritional deficiencies 1. These manifestations are largely due to impaired gastric accommodation of meals and delayed transfer of food boluses from the stomach into the duodenum2. Consequently, the investigators hypothesize that dietary supplementation with a low volume, hypercaloric nutritional drink can help prevent malnutrition, decrease symptom burden and improve health-related quality of life in this population. Due to the paucity of such a supplement, the investigators developed a novel nutritional drink designed to maximize tolerability in patients with gastroparesis . This nutritional drink was tested on healthy volunteers (phase I) and passed the palatability test. The investigators now aim to test the tolerability of this drink on gastroparesis patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether LY3314814 can be safely prescribed in participants with liver impairment without a dose adjustment. Participants will be on study for 11 days with follow-up about 7 days afterward.
A multi-centered, prospective study, involving pregnant women presenting to the labor and delivery unit of collaborating clinical study sites with preterm labor and intact amniotic membranes with and without suspected Intra-Amniotic Infection (IAI).
The purpose of this study determine the difference in hemodynamic effects of synthetic and natural caffeine consumption in healthy individuals through blood pressure (central and peripheral) assessment. Participants will randomly be assigned to consume either one 8oz cup of coffee containing 400mg of caffeine (increased caffeine using concentrated coffee) or one 8oz cup of coffee-flavored drink with approximately 400mg synthetic caffeine from capsules dissolved in it.
In this exploratory study, the researchers would like to investigate the background, perception, current use practices, potential unmet needs and/or challenges in regard to imaging procedures, imaging technology, or any other aspect related to the broader field of imaging.
The investigators' primary aim is to determine the impact of using hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) prior to kidney transplantation. The investigators will also determine whether HCL, by improving glucose control, will affect short-term (1 month) and long-term (12 months) complications after kidney transplantation in patients with T1D.
The purpose of this study is to see if substances contained in ginger or aloe plants, called exosomes, will treat and improve the condition polycystic ovary syndrome
The purpose of this study is to determine if a weight loss app (VA MOVE!® Coach App) along with regularly scheduled telephone counseling, will motivate obese people with metabolic syndrome to lose weight and improve the symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, compared to usual weight loss approaches. This study will randomly assign participants to one of two groups, interventional or control. The interventional group will use the app with phone coaching and standard of care for weight loss. The control group will receive standard weight loss care without the app and phone coaching. Weight loss motivation to adopt life-style changes to maintain weight loss and quality of life between the two groups will be compared. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of disorders including high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, the tendency to carry body weight around the waist, and increased fat in the blood. When these problems happen together, there is an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. Although the metabolic syndrome is a serious condition, it can be treated with diet, weight loss and increased activity. It can even be reversed using these lifestyle changes. Due to poor success with routine short-term weight loss treatment (group and one-on-one counseling), it is time to address the problem by a different method. Studies have shown feedback devices and weight loss apps have been successful in weight loss and weight maintenance. They are economical (many apps are free), and convenient to use, without attendance at group sessions. Since weight loss is the corner stone for improvement in the symptoms of the MetS, this study will offer a unique approach to support individuals who are committed to losing weight and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Numerous studies demonstrated that feedback via text messaging, and interaction through social networking support groups, in addition to iPhone apps, are all more effective in weight loss measures than group sessions at a hospital site. (Duncan et al., 2011; Greene, Sacks, Piniewski, Kil, & Hahn, 2012; Shaw et al., 2013; Spring et al., 2013). The benefit of these various methods is that they appear to accelerate weight loss and prevent weight re-gain if employed long-term. With technology changing daily, these approaches must be considered an essential adjunct to, or replacement for, traditional group counselling sessions.
