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 long-term objective of SCALE-UP II is to increase the reach, uptake, and sustainability of COVID-19 testing among underserved populations. Through RADx-UP Phase I funding (SCALE-UP Utah), the team has established population health management (PHM) interventions that have been used since Feb 2021 to increase the uptake of COVID-19 testing and vaccination among community health center patients. Interventions are based on a PHM approach that uses widely available technology (i.e. cell phones and text messaging). SCALE-UP II will both build on SCALE-UP Utah PHM interventions and investigate novel resource conservation approaches (i.e., Request-Patient Navigation vs. No Patient Navigation and text messaging vs. conversational agent). SCALE-UP II builds on long standing partnerships among the University of Utah Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UofU CTSI), Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH), CHCs, and the Utah Department of Health(UDOH). CTSI and SCALE-UP II investigators are leading several COVID-19 initiatives that drive public health response and state government policies in Utah. Thus, the UofU team is uniquely positioned to lead this project.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the potential of physical withdrawal from CR845 upon treatment discontinuation after 3 weeks of IV administration at a dose of 0.5 mcg/kg in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether hemodialysis patients who take CR845 develop physical dependence and experience withdrawal symptoms upon cessation, as exemplified by symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal. The study will consist of a Screening Phase, a 3-week Open-label Phase, a 2-week randomized, placebo-controlled, Double-blind Phase and a Follow-up Visit.
To compare pulse oximetry saturation measurements, during normal to low saturation, to saturation measurements made by a multi-wavelength CO-oximeter, taken from arterial blood samples from healthy human subjects.
The objective of this study is to collect stereo-optic disc photographs for potential future analysis.
The aim is to conduct two virtual focus groups (10 participants in each group) with 20 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-eligible Black women in Houston and Austin, TX. Participants will be assigned to focus groups with other women based on their position about PrEP uptake (considered use versus not considered use). Focus group questions will build on an ecologic model framework to inquire about participant's intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community-level factors that influence access to and use of HIV prevention services. This strategy aims to examine potential barriers to PrEP uptake among PrEP-eligible women in two Texas' hotspots.
The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week behavioral weight management intervention adapted for Black men living in the rural South. The intervention is guided by Self-Determination Theory of Motivation, Social Cognitive Theory, and Ecological Systems Theory. Key aspects of the intervention include a football-themed curriculum, facilitator and peer concordance to the extent possible (ie., similarly aged Black men), an emphasis on male-specific health concerns, group-based competition at multiple levels of the intervention (e.g., during in-person physical activity sessions and for achieving behavioral goals), a limited educational component, and physical activity being a substantial component of meeting sessions.
The primary objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study is to assess the acute effects of a novel ingredient, guayusa on alertness and mental fatigue compared to a placebo. This trial will utilize the COMPASS cognitive task and cognitive demand battery (CDB) and mood, motivation, and energy measures with assessments taking place at baseline, 60- and 120-minutes post treatment on three separate testing days separated by ~7 days.
Our objectives in this project are to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the Mobile Web App Breast Cancer Screening (wMammogram) intervention that is culturally tailored for AI women residing in rural areas. The proposed study will be a multi-method, two-phase research project that will take place in South Dakota over a three-year period. The two phases are: (1) developing the wMammogram intervention and (2) evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of the wMammogram. Phase 1 incorporates a community-based participatory research approach and a series of focus groups with various stakeholders in American Indian (AI) communities to design a culturally informed and practically refined intervention. Phase 2 uses a randomized clinical trial (RCT) design with AI women. The wMammogram intervention will be applied throughout a seven-day period, with assessment at three intervals: baseline (face-to-face interview survey), one-week post-intervention (telephone survey), and six-month follow-up (telephone survey) and post-intervention focus group (qualitative assessment). The wMammogram intervention will be implemented with AI women using the two-arm RCT that includes recruiting a total of 120 AI women aged 40 to 70 years and randomly assigning them to either (a) the wMammogram intervention group (n=60) to receive culturally and personally tailored multilevel and multimedia messages through a Mobile Web App along with health navigator services or (b) the control group (n=60) to receive the mailing of printed educational materials on breast cancer and relevant screening guidelines along with health navigator services. Hypotheses: In assessing the efficacy and feasibility of the wMammogram, Investigators hypothesize that: (H1)The wMammogram intervention participants will show a higher rate of mammograms received than will participants in the educational materials intervention. (H2)The wMammogram intervention participants will show improvements in knowledge, attitude, and beliefs about breast cancer screening and readiness for mammography as compared to participants in the educational materials intervention. (H3)The wMammogram intervention participants will demonstrate greater satisfaction with and acceptance of the intervention than would participants in the educational materials intervention.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a rare, life-threatening, genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, significantly impairing the quality of life, with those affected having a median age of death at 40. The main objectives of this study are to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of the combination therapy of galicaftor/navocaftor/ABBV-576.
The investigators' study is designed to test whether prolonged exposure to a martial arts-based intervention (three complex, partner exercises based on Filipino, Chinese and Thai martial arts practices), can improve cognitive processing to a greater degree than resistive exercise of a similar intensity.
