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 purpose of this prospective, single center, single arm registry is to assess technical feasibility, peri-procedural complications, post-procedure imaging outcomes, and 30-day safety outcomes in subjects with intraventricular hemorrhages utilizing the Artemis Neuro Evacuation Device in the hyper-acute phase.
The aim of this project is assess a non-invasive functional liver tests in patients with the Fontan circulation that may be used for prognostic purposes. Specifically, we aim to determine whether there are alterations in Methacetin Breath Test (MBT) in the Fontan patient and if so, whether it is related to conventional tests of liver and cardiac function. The hypothesis is that MBT CPDR 20 in the Fontan patient is abnormal as a result of alterations in liver perfusion, liver cell metabolic capability and transhepatic resistance secondary to hemodynamics unique to the Fontan as well as end-organ liver damage. Due to lack of robust biomarkers or other risk stratification schemes, we aim to determine whether there is prognostic value in hepatic MBT CPDR 20 in the Fontan patient. Aims - The aims of this study are three-fold: 1. To measure MBT parameter in a cohort of patients with Congestive (Dilated) Cardiomyopathy and a group of Fontan patients and compare results to published normal controls. 2. To explore any association between MBT parameter and clinical parameters already available, including Fontan hemodynamics as assessed by either of the following tests: cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, non-invasive imaging of the liver (CT or MRI), non-invasive assessment of liver stiffness (ARFI, MRE or Fibroscan), laboratory investigations, and clinical characteristics (i.e. age of patient, time since Fontan operation, type of Fontan etc.) within 12 months of the study. 3. To determine whether MBT is predictive of clinical outcomes: heart failure, clinically significant ascites, and time to transplant or death.
This is an administrative supplement to an existing project "Using fMRI-guided TMS to increase central executive function in older adults: NCT02767323" This award allows extending our existing fMRI-TMS paradigm to patients with a prodromal form of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) known as amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and investigate the role of brain health factors in mediating the TMS-related memory performance benefits associated with communication between a network of frontoparietal brain regions in these populations. The focus on focal neurostimulation at only a single site represents a fundamental gap in the approach of memory-based neurostimulation therapies. Neurostimulation affects multiple sites within a cortical network, but these global effects have not been used as targets for stimulation because of limited knowledge about what influence these localized sites have on global changes in brain state. To address this problem, multimodal neuroimaging tools and network modeling approaches developed though the parent U01 project will be used, to demonstrate how focal neurostimulation improves the efficacy of TMS for enhancing memory function. These goals will be addressed in the Administrative Supplement under our two specific aims. First, network-guided TMS will be applied to optimize memory success based in the frontoparietal network (FPN) in a new group of MCI patients. A new form of TMS targeting that involves modeling of the global network to understand how the controllability of a stimulation site evokes changes in widespread brain networks will be tested. Second, structural and functional factors affecting the efficacy of individualized network-guided TMS will be identified to ameliorate deficits in MCI. By creating a multimodal model of neural deficits related to MCI, network-guided TMS will be adjusted to demonstrate how the MCI brain might compensate for these neural deficits. The parent U01 project has made foundational advances towards these goals, as we have demonstrated the ability of to selectively enhance and reduce working memory performance in healthy older adults. In the current Administrative Supplement this paradigm will be extended to a group of MCI participants in order to test the hypothesis that excitatory rTMS to the working memory network can provide positive outcomes for patients with pre-clinical AD. The proposed work will provide an important tool for studying the stability and controllability of network connectivity of memory states in the aging brain, as well as new information on the effectiveness of brain stimulation technologies as a therapeutic approach for cognitive decline.
This study will evaluate the effect of probiotics, a beneficial intestinal bacteria supplement, if it will cause improvement of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH- an inflammation with concurrent fatty accumulation of the liver) as measured by transient elastography - an ultrasound of the liver that assess the elastic properties (density) and stiffness of the liver tissue. This study will enroll patients 18 years and older with diagnosis of NAFLD and or NASH.
Cannabis use disorders are common among young adults in psychiatric treatment. Unfortunately, cannabis use can result in deleterious consequences for those in treatment, including developing more severe psychopathology and poorer treatment outcomes. Brief, electronic interventions for cannabis use have been developed for young adults. An example of a frequently used brief electronic intervention for cannabis users is e-Toke. e-Toke can be completed on a computer, tablet or phone, and has been shown to improve motivation to engage in substance use treatment among college students. However, e-Toke is less useful in decreasing the actual frequency of cannabis use. Additionally, e-toke is not tailored to young adults in psychiatric treatment. In this study, the investigators will develop and test a text messaging intervention that can be easily added to the popular computerized intervention e-Toke. The research staff hope the intervention will improve motivation to decrease cannabis use, and decrease the frequency of cannabis use, among young adults in psychiatric outpatient treatment. The text messages will be developed by, and tailored to, young adults in psychiatric treatment and texts will address motivations and barriers to reducing cannabis use in the context of psychiatric disorders. If the text message intervention is found to be an effective addition to e-Toke, this approach can be tested in a larger study, and then disseminated to other young adults in psychiatric treatment.
Primary objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of EXPAREL® administered as a single intrathecal injection in healthy volunteers Secondary objective: To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of EXPAREL® administered as a single intrathecal injection in healthy volunteers
This study will combine cabozantinib with pemetrexed to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer, urothelial cancer and advanced malignant mesothelioma. This study will test the safety of both drugs used together and see what effect (good or bad) it has no participants and their cancer.
This study will determine the frequency of adverse events (side effects) in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) when given nivolumab and irinotecan together followed by nivolumab maintenance. This study will test the safety of the study treatments when given together and see what effect (good or bad) it has on participants and their cancer.
This is a phase Ib study with a 3 + 3 dose escalation design followed by a dose-expansion phase.
