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 study evaluates the use of NanoPac injected directly into the prostate lesion in men with prostate cancer.
The proposed study is a pilot randomized control trial to determine the efficacy of dexamethasone use in hospitalized children who are less than 2 years of age with non-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from February 1 to May 31, 2022. It is hypothesized that the use of standard airway-dose steroids (0.6mg/kg dexamethasone) will improve the clinical outcome of children hospitalized for non-RSV bronchiolitis, which will be evident by decreased length of stay.
The subject will be a candidate for this imaging study because they have agreed to participate in a treatment study involving TTFields (Optune device), a device that uses low intensity, wave like electrical fields, and a PARP inhibitor drug (niraparib). The research study is being conducted to test how a new radioactive imaging drug called 18F-Fluorthanatrace (18F-FTT) can be used to image sites of recurrent brain cancer before or after new treatment or surgery. 18F-FTT is a drug used with an imaging test called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT).
The goal of this study is to determine whether comprehensive perioperative administration of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine can increase postoperative pain tolerance and reduce opiate consumption in chronic back pain patients undergoing spinal laminectomy/fusion when compared to placebo Opioid dependence will be defined as daily opioid use (2 or more doses per day) for a period of two-months or longer. Intraoperatively, patients will receive a 1 mg/kg dose of intravenous ketamine or saline with 15 minutes after induction of general anesthesia. Thereafter, a continuous infusion of 0.20 mg/kg/hr ketamine with a maximum dose of 20 mg/hr or saline will be run to conclude at 24 hours after the end of the surgery (fascial closure). The primary outcome measure will be hydromorphone PCA usage during the first 72 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcome measures will be VAS pain scores at rest and with movement in PACU, 24 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr, 2 week (post-op visit), 6 week follow-up visit, as well as, McGill Pain Questionnaire, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and emotional distress surveys assessing depression and anxiety at preop/screening, postop and 6 week follow-up (PROMIS Emotional Distress-Anxiety Short Form, PROMIS Emotional Distress-Depression Short Form), as well as a Neuro-QOL Short Form v1.1 - Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities .
This research study is assessing the effect of an exercise program on cancer survivors. The exercise program is Haymakers for Hope 16-week exercise program
Determine the efficacy, in terms of time to nausea (inclination to vomit), of DPI-386 Nasal Gel as compared to the current standard of care (TDS) and placebo nasal gel. • Describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a multi-dose schedule of DPI-386 Nasal Gel (0.2 mg twice a day for six consecutive days) as compared to the current standard of care (TDS). Determine the safety of a multi-dose schedule of DPI-386 Nasal Gel with an emphasis on cognitive adverse events as compared to the current standard of care (TDS) and placebo nasal gel. Determine how alertness is affected by administration of DPI-386 Nasal Gel, as compared to the current standard of care (TDS) and placebo nasal gel.
The purpose of this study is to compare adverse events after off-pump LVAD surgery or on-pump LVAD surgery.
This pilot study will expand knowledge and application of 2 X concentration of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in conjunction with microneedling using the SkinPen device.
This study has been designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CornerLoc™ SI Joint Stabilization System to intra-articular sacroiliac joint steroid injection in patients with refractory sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
This comparative treatment study aims to challenge a current clinical practice. Specifically, whether the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post insertion failure rates with longer utility time compared to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) inserted in the standard manner during the emergency department (ED), observation and in-patient stay. There are two secondary aims to the study: a) determining if ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post removal complication rates compared to PIVCs inserted in the standard manner; and b) determining if catheter-to-vein ratio can predict post insertion success of PIVCs and what catheter-to-vein ratio is most successful. In this study, catheter-to-vein ratio is defined as the diameter of the lumen of the vein divided by the outside diameter of the catheter.
