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.
The experiment seeks to determine the impact of a sleep health and fatigue education and training program on diverse indicators of sleep and fatigue among Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel. The overarching goals of this research study are to [1] enhance our understanding of the relationships between shift work, sleep, and fatigue in EMS operations; and [2] determine whether or not providing education and training to EMS personnel on the importance of sleep health and dangers of fatigue impact indicators of sleep and fatigue. The investigators will accomplish these goals by using a cluster-randomized trial study design with a wait-list control group.
Certain blood markers are related to one's ability to successfully lose weight by diet and exercise. Currently, the laboratory tests used to measure these blood markers are expensive and time-consuming. Recently, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, at NDSU, invented a device that may be able to measure these blood markers much more quickly and affordably. This study is designed participate, to compare our new device to previous methods. If the new sensor is successful, it will be used as diagnostic tool to personalize weight loss strategies.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether dried plum (prunes) added to the diet is effective in reducing or reversing bone loss following spinal cord injury (SCI). The investigators will look for changes in bone mineral density as well as evidence in the blood of markers of bone activity. The first part of the study is to check whether participants with SCI can and will eat the required amount of dried plums (prunes) on a daily basis. The second part of the study is to follow participants over one year and look for changes in bone mass and blood markers.
CCR2 is a significant prognostic biomarker in head and neck cancer. Currently there is no clinical biomarker to study CCR2, its prognostic significance or to select patients for CCR2-targeted therapy and to monitor response to such therapy. The investigators have developed a CCR2 specific PET radiotracer based on the peptide, ECL1i (d(LGTFLKC)) and radiolabeled with 64Cu (64Cu-DOTA-ECL1i). The investigators have found that 64Cu-DOTA-ELC1i specific binding has been demonstrated in human head and neck cancer tissue.
A common complication of the progression of cirrhosis is fluid retention (ascites, edema, or pleural effusion). Loop diuretics are the treatment of choice for fluid retention in cirrhotic patients; however, many of these patients demonstrate diuretic resistance, requiring higher doses of the diuretics to achieve adequate diuresis. The cause of this diuretic resistance is hypothesized to be secondary to hypoalbuminemia which has led some providers to give human albumin in combination with loop diuretics to increase intravascular volume and facilitate diuresis. However, this practice remains controversial because minimal data exists to support its efficacy. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of diuretics alone versus diuretics in combination with albumin in cirrhotic patients presenting with fluid retention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of empirical posterior wall isolation (PWI), left atrial appendage electrical isolation (LAAEI) and coronary sinus isolation (CSI) when compared to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone: - PVI alone, - PVI + PWI, - PVI + PWI + LAAEI, - PVI + PWI + LAAEI + CSI.
This study evaluates and addresses challenges to implementing an acupuncture intervention for adults who have headaches after sustaining a moderate traumatic brain injury. Eligible participants will be recruited from Seattle and the surrounding areas to receive weekly acupuncture for 12 consecutive weeks. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess headache impact, depression, health-related quality of life, and cognitive function at the beginning of the study and every two weeks for the duration of the study. Participants will participate in structured interviews after the study for their views on the acceptability and tolerability of the study protocol.
This is a first-time-in-human (FTIH), Phase 1 study to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD0466 in patients with solid tumors, lymphoma and multiple myeloma at low risk for tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), as well as in patients at intermediate risk or high risk of TLS with hematologic malignancies for whom no standard therapy exists. Once an MTD/RP2D has been determined in the dose escalation portion, further disease-specific expansions (solid tumor and hematologic) will be undertaken. Combinations of AZD0466 with other standard of care treatments may be evaluated in the future.
Phase I/IIA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess safety and efficacy of oral losartan for improving cartilage repair following microfracture to treat focal cartilage defects during hip arthroscopy.
The purpose of this extension study was to establish efficacy and safety of ligelizumab. This was assessed in adult and adolescent chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients who had completed a preceding ligelizumab study and have relapsed, following treatment in these preceding studies, despite standard of care H1-antihistamine (H1-AH) treatment. This study also fulfilled the Novartis commitment to provide post-trial access to patients who had completed studies: CQGE031C2302 (NCT03580369), CQGE031C2303 (NCT03580356), CQGE031C2202 (NCT03437278) or CQGE031C1301 (NCT03907878).
