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 clinical trial evaluates whether acupressure is helpful to reduce anxiety related to chemotherapy. Anxiety is experienced by many patients with cancer. Anxiety can be related to chemotherapy and may contribute to other symptoms, such as nausea and poor quality of life. Some patients diagnosed with cancer express interest in non-medicinal ways to manage symptoms. Acupressure is a noninvasive intervention that can be used for many different symptoms. Acupressure is well tolerated with minimal reports of adverse reactions, making it a good choice for patients with cancer. This study may help researchers learn whether acupressure is useful for managing anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
This observational trial evaluates the use of Ommaya reservoir placed during a biopsy to collect biomarkers longitudinally in patients with brain tumor. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of the disease state. An Ommaya reservoir is a small device that's implanted under the scalp. It allows the doctor to take samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the future without doing a spinal tap. The identification of biomarkers in CSF is rapidly emerging as a promising minimally invasive approach for monitoring tumor growth and response to therapy. In the future, these biomarkers may be used to help determine what treatments could be most effective and how well a tumor has responded to prior therapy. Currently, limited long-term access to CSF has made it difficult for studies to learn if collecting CSF at different points in the treatment process is useful. Having an Ommaya reservoir placed during a biopsy may allow for longitudinal biomarker collection in patients with brain tumor.
This is a single arm trial with one Cohort for people with recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma that cannot be treated with surgery. 10 participants will be enrolled in Cohort 1 at Johns Hopkins and will undergo DCFPyL PET/CT and 177Lu-PSMA dosimetry imaging only (single tracer dose). A feasibility analysis of dosimetry will be performed after meeting the accrual goal of Cohort 1 to determine if the study will proceed into Cohort 2. If Cohort 2 proceeds, based on the dosimetry analysis, the major requirements of the study are to undergo treatment with 177Lu-PNT2002, have bloodwork, physical exams, and imaging done at study-specific time points, and to answer questionnaires. Patients will be in the study for about two years after enrolling.
This Phase 2 trial will assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, imaging pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RVP-001, a novel manganese-based MRI contrast agent, at three escalating dose levels. RVP-001 will be administered as a single IV bolus to subjects with known gadolinium-enhancing central nervous system (CNS) lesions (for example stable brain tumor or multiple sclerosis) who have recently had a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA)-enhanced MRI of the brain.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of pre-emptive pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing of a panel of clinically relevant PGx markers, to guide the dose and drug selection for 39 commonly prescribed drugs, will result in an overall reduction in the number of clinically relevant drug-genotype associated ADRs which are causally related to the initial drug of inclusion (referred to as 'index drug').
The majority of T2DM adults show thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency which may contribute to impaired function. This study will examine patients with T2DM through brain MRI scans, cognition assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires. Our goal is to see if a thiamine treatment (taking vitamin B1 capsules) can improve function. Patients will be asked to come to UCLA two times three months apart and each visit will last about 2.5-3 hours.
Weight loss interventions for neurologically health individuals have established benefits for improving physical and psychosocial function. The investigators believe that Veterans who have had a stroke would realize similar benefits and that the effects would be enhanced with concurrent exercise training. The investigators will study the effects of a 15-week lifestyle management program to determine if it can effectively improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in Veterans who have had a stroke.
The investigators propose to investigate Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) for treating patients with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS) and gastrointestinal problems (constipation, bloating, abdominal pain). MTT involves a combination of 10 days of oral vancomycin (an antibiotic to kill pathogenic bacteria), followed by 1 day of bowel cleanse using magnesium citrate, followed by 4 days of high dose MTP-101P with an antacid, followed by 12 weeks of a lower maintenance dose of MTP-101P with an antacid.
The objective of this study is to establish reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the Golazo® Peripheral Atherectomy System when used as indicated in 159 subjects with symptomatic infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in up to 15 investigational sites in the U.S.
REACT is a phase two, open-label, cluster randomized, crossover study of microbiota therapy (MT) to reduce colonization with multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO). REACT is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of MT administered to subjects colonized with a MDRO. The overarching hypothesis is that MT can reduce MDRO colonization with safety that is comparable to observation.
