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 prospective, descriptive study designed to assess the feasibility of administering CAR T therapy among patients with moderate to severe renal impairment using dose adjusted lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
African Americans are less likely to receive quality end-of-life (EoL) care. Addressing disparities in EoL care will need efforts to support a better understanding of African American patients' EoL cultural values and preferences for EoL communication and the impact of historical and ongoing care delivery inequities in healthcare settings. Our proposed "Caring for Older African Americans" training program is designed to empower clinicians to improve goal-concordant EoL care delivery by using community-developed storytelling videos to create empathy with experiences of racism in EoL care, guidelines for culturally concordant EoL care delivery, and an implicit bias recognition and management training to mitigate bias in goals of care communication.
The goal of this open-label, non-randomized, prospective study is to compare Velacur and MRE in all sexes, 18-80 years old with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The main aims is to: - Validate the use of Velacur and elastography cut offs in a patient cohort with all types of chronic liver disease, against MRE results for fibrosis staging. - Validate the use of Velacur and attenuation cut offs in a patient cohort with all types of chronic liver disease, against MRI-PDFF results for steatosis staging. Participants will Study participants will attend 1 study visit, in which measurement of liver stiffness with Velacur and FibroScan, will be performed by a certified technician. As part of Visit 1, Patients will also complete an MRI exam which will include both MRE and MRI-PDFF measurements (MRI imaging can take place within 28 days of the Velacur scan).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of ultra-low contrast coronary angiography in patients with pre-existing acute kidney injury.
A multicenter, non-randomized prospective longitudinal study to evaluate the feasibility of Tricog's Remote platform for Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) titration and remote patient monitoring among patients with Heart Failure.
The purpose of this pilot trial is to examine the feasibility and ease of use of monitoring by ClearSight in laboring and delivering patients with the intent to compare time-to-treatment of hypotension between conventionally monitored patients (Group CM) and those receiving HPI (Group CM + HPI) monitoring by ClearSight, in a population of healthy laboring women who receive epidural analgesia.
Single blind, randomized control trial to determine benefit of caffeine and sodium benzoate on the second stage of labor
Our study will determine if a high quality AHA plant-based diet intervention can promote a genetic signature that is protective against CVD. Our development of GE mutational signatures in Blacks/African Americans with a high CVD burden can inform of changes patients can implement in their diet and lifestyle to decrease the CVD risk burden.
The project is a placebo-controlled study that aims to use closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to study patients with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment which is likely due to Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia (AD-MCI). Patients will undergo an EEG and complete some questionnaires and computer tasks during each study visit. The project has the following aims and hypotheses: 1.) To determine the impact of closed-loop 40 Hz tACS on the entrainment of natural gamma rhythms in patients with AD-MCI, 2.) To determine the impact of closed-loop 40 Hz tACS on cognitive performance in patients with AD-MCI, and 3.) To assess the relationship between baseline neurodegenerative burden and impact of tACS.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease that causes the body to produce abnormal ( sickled ) red blood cells. SCD can cause anemia and life-threatening complications in the lungs, heart, kidney, and nerves. People with SCD are also at increased risk of forming blood clots in the veins and lungs, but the standard treatments for these clots can cause increased bleeding in people with SCD. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a drug (fostamatinib) in people with SCD. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 65 with SCD. Design: Participants will have 6 clinic visits over 12 weeks. Each visit will be 2 to 3 hours. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will tell the researchers about the medications they take. Fostamatinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug at home, twice a day, for up to 6 weeks. Participants will have a clinic visit every 2 weeks while they are taking the drug. At each visit they will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will talk about any side effects the drug may be causing. If they are tolerating the drug well after the first 2 weeks, they may begin taking a higher dose. Participants will have a final visit 4 weeks after they stop taking the drug. They will have a physical exam and blood tests; they will be checked for any side effects of the drug.
