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 study objectives are to demonstrate the ease and safety of bilateral cervically implanted phrenic nerve stimulators for Central Sleep Apnea in patients with Heart Failure. To demonstrate the efficacy, both in the short and long term, of implanted phrenic nerve stimulators in patients with Central Sleep Apnea and Heart Failure. Central Sleep Apnea is a form of hypoventilation syndrome, for which this device is FDA approved. We will also determine if the patient's quality and duration of life is improved by using the PNS to treat CSA in heart failure patients.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well endocrine therapy works in treating patients with HER2 negative, low risk breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Endocrine therapies such as aromatase inhibitors and selective estrogen receptor modulators may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body.
This is a research study to test the combination of two drugs, pembrolizumab and epacadostat with the goal of benefiting subjects with head and neck cancers where prior or ongoing regimens with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor for the treatment of advanced head and neck cancer after platinum failure.
Radiation retinopathy is a known complication of ocular radiation therapy. To date there is no known effective treatment. In addition to their anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) properties, corticosteroids decrease the retinal capillary permeability by increasing the activity/density of tight junctions and acute inflammatory effects of radiation in various tissues.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether starting the drug vedolizumab earlier than its FDA approved use can lead to better control of UC then using older drugs that we have historically used to treat UC. Vedolizumab is FDA-approved to be used after initial Corticosteroid treatments have failed or other UC treatments have failed. We will study if using vedolizumab as an early treatment for your UC will allow you to get off corticosteroids and prevent UC from worsening and requiring surgery. Vedolizumab is given intravenously initially every 2 weeks and then every 8 weeks.
This is a single arm, single stage pilot study of radiation therapy plus durvalumab for tumor-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
(1) to determine whether the ratio of glycated albumin and total albumin in saliva is equivalent to blood and (2) to investigate whether the non-invasive SmartAlbu portable salivary sensor is as accurate as standard tests that measure glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
This study will evaluate if proton beam therapy as part of chemoradiation results in a decrease in diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) compared to photon radiation therapy for esophageal carcinoma. A secondary objective is to determine effects on cardiac function, quality of life, and compare acute and late toxicities.
Participants enrolled in this study will have been diagnosed with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and have been scheduled to have a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) such as a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implanted. A PFO is a condition when there is a hole in the septum (the wall separating the right and left sides) of the heart. The purpose of this study is to determine whether closing the PFO with the GORE® Cardioform Septal Occluder in people with an endocardial device leads reduces the risk of recurrent stroke or imaging-confirmed transient ischemic attack (TIA) compared to not closing the PFO.
The aim of this randomized, controlled crossover designed study is to compare the outcomes of receiving autologous, adult stem cells versus placebo among participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study is limited to self-funded participants with a diagnosis of COPD. The study, along with others at the Lung Institute, have received full review and approval of an Institutional Review Board.
