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 is a Phase 1b/2 study of AVB-S6-500 designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVB-S6-500 in combination with cabozantinib, AVB-S6-500 in combination with cabozantinib and nivolumab and AVB-S6-500 monotherapy in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The phase 1b portion of the study is open label and patients with advanced ccRCC who had progressed on or after at least one prior line of treatment will receive AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib. Two dose levels will be evaluated. The Phase 2 portion of the study is open-label 3-part study to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib, AVB-S6-500 + cabozantinib + nivolumab, and AVB-S6-500 alone.
A double-blind placebo controlled randomized trial comparing cesarean delivery rates in women given IV propranolol versus placebo for treatment of prolonged labor.
The study will involve administration of alcohol in a controlled laboratory setting to individuals who are scheduled for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, and then asking them to return for another laboratory session 3 months following their surgery. A small number will be asked to return again 9 months following their surgery. The primary objective for this research is to collect pilot data on the effects of metabolic surgery (MS), also known as bariatric surgery, on the metabolism of alcohol. These data will be used as preliminary evidence in support of a subsequent application for funding, to be submitted to the National Institutes of Health. A secondary objective for this research is to determine the extent to which MS changes reactivity to alcohol-related cues. Heightened reactivity (e.g., attention bias; craving) to alcohol-related cues is known to signify increased risk for heavy drinking and AUD. No research to date has examined whether the increased sensitivity to alcohol that occurs as a result of MS changes cue-reactivity responses, which in theory reflect an individual's history of learning to associate alcohol consumption with its subjective effects. An exploratory objective is to compare metabolism of alcohol administered orally versus intravenously. IV infusion of alcohol bypasses so-called "first pass metabolism" of alcohol after absorption by the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, compared to oral ingestion, infusion can achieve the same blood alcohol concentration (BAC) with substantially less total alcohol dosage. Following the hypothesis, this should mean that, compared to oral ingestion, infusion will be associated with less production of liver fat, while also mimicking in pre-surgery patients what the investigators observe with oral ingestion following surgery. This comparison will permit better specification of when (during metabolism) and how alcohol is converted to liver fat, and will allow the investigators to separate effects of initial sensitivity to alcohol (a person's subjective response to the initial introduction of alcohol into the body) from effects associated with tolerance (i.e., the body's attempts to re-establish homeostasis after alcohol is introduced).
The literature has shown that exercise is effective in decreasing blood glucose levels. However, it remains less clear if there is any difference between muscle groups regarding the glucose-lowering effects of exercise. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in blood-glucose level changes in response to exercise that involves different muscle groups.
This trial studies the main and interactive effects of episodic future thinking and future thinking priming tasks on helping participants to quit smoking. Episodic future thinking and future thinking priming tasks may decrease delay discounting rates and reduce relapse to smoking and help participants quit smoking.
Background: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of United States (U.S.) cancer deaths in women. Immunotherapy drugs use a person's immune system to fight cancer. Researchers want to see if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can help treat breast cancer that has gone to places in the body outside of the breast (metastasized). Objective: To learn if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can shrink tumors in people with metastatic breast cancer. Eligibility: Adults 18 and older who have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptors (ER)-/progesterone receptors (PR)-/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)+ Breast Cancer (HER2+BC) Design: Participants will be screened with: medical history physical exam disease confirmation (or tumor biopsy) tumor scans (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or bone scan) blood and urine tests electrocardiogram (measures the hearts electrical activity) echocardiogram (creates images of the heart). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups. The drugs they get will be based on the group they are in. Drugs are given in cycles. Each cycle = 3 weeks. Participants will be seen in clinic every 3 weeks, prior to the start of a new cycle. At each visit, participants will have an clinical exam, have blood drawn and will be asked about any side effects. They will repeat the screening tests during the study. New scans, like a computed tomography (CT) scan, will be done every 6 weeks to see if the treatment is working. All participants will get Bavarian Nordic (BN)-Brachyury. It is 2 different vaccines - a prime and a boost. First the priming vaccines, called MVA-BN-Brachyury help to jump start the immune system. Next the boosting vaccines, called fowlpox virus (FPV)-Brachyury help to keep the immune system going. They are injected under the skin during different cycles. All participants will get M7824 (also known as Bintrafusp alfa), which is an immunotherapy drug. Some participants will get a commonly used drug is HER2+ breast cancer called adotrastuzumab emtansine (also known as T-DM1DM1 or kadcyla). For both, a needle is inserted into a vein to give the drugs slowly. Some participants will take Entinostat weekly by mouth. It is in tablet form. Participants will keep a pill diary. Participants will continue on their assigned treatment until their cancer grows, they develop side effects or want to stop treatment. About 28 days after treatment ends, participants will have a follow-up visit or a telephone call. Then they will be contacted every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months for 1 year. They may have more tumor scans or continue treatment.
In this pilot study, the investigators propose to test the efficacy of rTMS for the treatment of PCCI. Efficacy measures will include baseline and post-rTMS neuropsychological testing, functional MRI and biometry data using body worn sensors.
This randomized controlled trial will study the effects of peanut protein supplementation on changes in muscle size and quality in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
