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.
Post-market study to access the clinical use of the Vivaer Arc Stylus to treat Septal Swell Bodies (SSB).
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have recurrent herpes labialis, also known as cold sores. This is a type of viral infection that causes redness and blisters on the mouth and lip and that recurs. Herpes labialis is caused by a virus called the herpes simplex virus (HSV). The infection is spread when a person comes into direct contact with someone else who has the infection. Once a person becomes infected with HSV, the virus multiplies and spreads, which can cause redness and blistering on the mouth and lip. The blisters crust over and heal. Once healed, the virus is said to go into an "inactive" phase. This means the virus does not cause any symptoms, but still remains in the body. HSV can then become "active" again. This means causing cold sore lesions to reappear. HSV can become active in different ways. Some of these include when a person has a fever, comes into contact with strong sunlight or has a condition that lowers one's immune system It can also happen during a woman's menstrual cycle, also called a period. In this study, the researchers want to gather additional data on acyclovir 50 mg tablet, an available treatment for herpes labialis. It is a buccal tablet that sticks to the gum inside the mouth and directly treats the infected area to help stop the HSV from multiplying and spreading. In this study, the researchers want to compare the efficacy of acyclovir 50 mg buccal tablets versus placebo in the treatment of herpes labialis. A placebo is a treatment that looks like the study medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Study participants will include those who have had at least 4 episodes of herpes labialis within the past 12 months prior to joining the study. To compare the study treatments, the researchers will measure the "duration of episode" (DOE) for each participant. DOE is amount of time it takes for symptoms to disappear and for herpes labialis lesions to heal after taking the study treatment. A doctor will look at the participants' symptom scores and facial images to determine the DOE. Assessments will be done over a period of 14 days. The participants in this study will apply either acyclovir 50mg buccal tablet or the placebo as a tablet to the upper gum 1 time. There will be a 2 week treatment phase and a 12 month follow up phase. The participants in this study will not be required to visit the study site. Instead, the participants will have virtual meetings with the study doctors from their homes using the internet. During the treatment phase, there will be 2 meetings. Throughout the follow up phase, the doctors will call the participants 4 times. Each participant will be in the study for about 20 months. During the treatment phase of the study, the participants will: - take their blood pressure and pulse - check their mouth health through a questionnaire - take pictures of their face and herpes labialis symptoms During the whole study the participants will answer questions about how they are feeling, what medications they are taking, and what adverse events they are having. The doctors will keep track of any adverse events. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
Medication adherence is a critical aspect of achieving optimal health outcomes. Thirty to 50% of patients adhere to long-term medication treatment of chronic diseases. Non adherence has been shown to result in worsening disease, increased healthcare expenditures, complications and even death. Medically underserved communities have higher rates of medication nonadherence and a higher prevalence of chronic conditions and often receive care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) which are reporting caring for increasingly complex chronic conditions. Smartphone mobile phone ownership has increased to 76% in low income Americans, but this population has been underrepresented in mobile health intervention studies. This two-group, cluster randomized by site, randomized controlled trial will investigate the effect of a medication adherence smartphone mobile application (app) which provides reminders on patient medication adherence, on medication self-efficacy, medication knowledge and medication social support. Independently, each of these concepts have been shown to support medication adherence. However in the context of delivery by a medication adherence app in a variety of chronic illnesses in a medically underserved population, little is known. It will also explore if those who accessed educational materials within the app report greater medication knowledge than those who do not and if participants who choose to use the additional Medfriend feature report greater medication social support than those who do not. The study will also explore patients' perceptions on the usefulness and satisfaction with the app features.
This study aims to determine if a tele-rehabilitation home exercise program is feasible to promote adherence to a fitness and mobility exercise program in ambulatory adults with cerebral palsy (GMFCS I, II, III) aged 21- 60 year old, and second, to determine if a tele-health exercise program improves fitness and functional mobility for participants.
This project is intended to collect data using standard clinical tests and psychophysics to quantify the effect of visual cortical damage on the structure of the residual visual system, visual perception, spatial awareness, and brain function. The investigators will also assess the effect of intensive visual retraining on the residual visual system, processing of visual information and the use of such information in real-world situations following damage. This research is intended to improve our understanding of the consequences of permanent visual system damage in humans, of methods that can be used to reverse visual loss, and of brain mechanisms by which visual recovery is achieved.
The study will be a Phase I, open label, safety and pharmacokinetics study of HutrukinTM in at least eight healthy subjects in each of the three dose cohorts (1,000 mg, 3,000 mg and 5,000 mg).
StrataPATH™ is a non-randomized, open-label trial designed to explore efficacy and safety of multiple FDA-approved and commercially available cancer therapies in new, biomarker-guided patient populations.
This phase II/III Lung-MAP trial studies how well immunotherapy treatment with N-803 (ALT-803) and pembrolizumab working in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Natural killer cells, part of our immune system, are always on alert and ready to defend our bodies from many kinds of infection or rogue cells, such as those that cause cancer. N-803 (ALT-803) may activate natural killer cells so that they can stimulate an immune response to help fight cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving N-803 (ALT-803) and pembrolizumab may help shrink and stabilize lung cancer or prevent it from returning.
Maternal depression influences the development of children's behavior problems and vice versa; however most interventions singularly address maternal depression or children's behavior problems rather than both. This project assesses the efficacy of an intervention that treats both mothers and children in an integrated manner. Effects are expected to disrupt the reciprocal relations that perpetuate maternal and child mental health problems over time.
The objectives of this project are to leverage surveillance data to predict future overdose outbreaks, and to evaluate the impact of a randomized, statewide, community-level intervention trial to target overdose prevention programs to neighborhoods at highest risk of future overdose deaths. This study develops and tests an opioid overdose forecasting tool, which will allow other states to identify and deploy interventions to communities at highest risk of opioid-related death. The findings from this study have the potential to significantly improve the allocation of resources to curb the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States.
