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 research trial studies how well Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) works in improving genetic screening rate in patients with cancer. Implementation of Progeny Genetic Pedigree and Family History Questionnaire software across all ORIEN member institutions may add value and utility for recognizing and caring for patients with an inherited susceptibility to cancer.
Otolaryngologists routinely administer ear drops at the time of tympanostomy tube placement in order to prevent tube otorrhea; however, there is a lack of consensus as to which drops are the most effective, and whether a post-operative regimen should be used. Utilizing drops postoperatively places the onus of administration on parents who may have various difficulties in delivering the drops to their child's ears. Additionally, prescribing drops postoperatively is a health care cost. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in prevention of tympanostomy tube failure (defined as tube blockage or otorrhea) between Otiprio administered once intraoperatively, Ciprodex otic dropgs administered once intraoperatively, and Ciprodex otic drops administered intraoperatively with a postoperative course.
We would study whether there is any measurable benefit of the administration of nebulized n-acetyl-cysteine to acute respiratory distress syndrome patients starting within 48 hours of intubation and mechanical ventilation.
Is it possible to detect infection before it is clinically apparent? Fever is one indicator of infection. However, until recently, continuous temperature monitoring has not been feasible. With the advent of microelectronics, long battery life, and wireless transmission, it is now possible to continuously measure, record and report body temperature. For a period of 90 days, residents of a long-term care facility will have their body temperature monitored and then those measurements will then be compared against other available healthcare data such as other recorded vital signs, nursing notes, provider visits, antibiotics, and hospitalization records for correlation of underlying infection.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about 2 types of FDA-approved catheters used in angiographic (X-ray of blood vessels, with radiopaque substance) procedures like DEB-TACE treatment. The Principal Investigator will check the beads given during the DEB-TACE. They will compare the way in which they are spread out in the tumor and density (how condensed something is).
This study is designed to investigate the toxicity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2-weekly and 3-weekly docetaxel in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Also, a mechanism-based population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model will be developed to provide a better understanding of the complex relationships between the drug exposure and toxicity profiles of docetaxel in mHSPC.
This pilot study aims to test the tolerability of low-carbohydrate enteral nutrition in patients with bacterial septic shock.
This is a randomized controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of a patented urethral catheter support device designed to reduce discomfort associated with urethral catheter mobility in males. Movement of a catheter within the urethra is a source of discomfort for patients. The investigators hypothesize that this discomfort can be reduced by using an external device designed to securely fasten the catheter to the penis.
This study is for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are candidates for resection of metastases. This study will be conducted sequentially with 2 cohorts: 1.) Monotherapy Cohort and 2.) Combination Cohort Pre-metastatectomy - Monotherapy Cohort: The first 10 subjects will receive Atezolizumab 840 mg IV on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle. - Combination Cohort: The next 15 subjects will receive Atezolizumab 840 mg IV on Day 1 and Day 15 and Cobimetinib 60 mg PO on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle. Note: Cobimetinib must be held for the 7 days prior to metastatectomy. All subjects will be treated for 2 cycles (8 weeks) prior to metastatectomy Metastatectomy Subjects will undergo liver metastatectomy within 42 days of completion of Cycle 2 of pre-metastatectomy treatment. No study treatment is administered while the patient is healing after surgery. Post-metastatectomy Once the patient has healed from the surgery, adjuvant treatment may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician. Restaging following standards of care for this setting.
This research study is studying an intervention as a possible treatment for Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
