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.
Tissue Expander/Implant Reconstruction: The purpose of this study is to determine how and when nerve sensation to the breast skin returns after mastectomy. Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the tissue being used to reconstruct your breast can provide sensation by using your own nerves. Typically all sensation is lost immediately after this type of surgery and returns to varying degrees. We are hoping to demonstrate that by connecting the two nerves (one from abdomen and one from the chest wall) together, we can attain meaningful sensation in the transferred tissues thereby improving your quality of life following surgery.
Randomized trial to compare outcomes of robot-assisted and laparoscopic ventral hernia repair surgery.
Randomized trial to compare outcomes of laparoscopic and robot assisted inguinal hernia repair.
ROSETTA is a multi-centre study evaluating the time course of diaphragm thickness and function following exposure to neuromuscular blockade or control in patients with acute respiratory distress. ROSETTA is an ancillary study to the Re-evaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade (ROSE) trial (NCT02509078). It is designed to (1) test the feasibility of a multi-center evaluation of the diaphragm structure and function by ultrasound during mechanical ventilation and (2) determine whether neuromuscular blockade accelerates atrophy and dysfunction of the diaphragm in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
This study is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility and early efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation to improve frailty and symptoms in patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA class III-IV), who are being considered for LVAD therapy.
Lateral nasal wall insufficiency is a source of nasal obstruction which plagues many people as the sidewall of the nose collapses due to negative pressure and structural weaknesses of the nose. Bone anchored suture suspension is used by many surgeons to treat it, and involves anchoring the nasal sidewall to the bony rim below the eye. Lateral crura strut graft is another well described and universally used technique involves strengthening lateral crus of lower lateral cartilage of the nose with piece of cartilage. This study aims to compare the two well known and universally used treatments to each other. Based on expert opinions these procedures are both safe and efficient but given lack of randomized clinical trials comparing these 2 techniques, it is difficult to extrapolate which procedure is superior.
Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) is a form of neuromodulation that uses a single element transducer to produce highly focused low-intensity acoustic energy that can be used to affect cortical excitability in humans.
This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NANT-008 in combination with 5-fluorouracil, bevacizumab, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
A one-arm, single center phase 2 trial of SAbR plus ipilimumab plus nivolumab in advanced metastatic melanoma patients
The investigational drug being tested in this study is palbociclib. Palbociclib is considered experimental because it is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of all cancers. Palbociclib is currently approved for use in breast cancer. Palbociclib is a drug belonging to a family of drugs called kinase inhibitors. These drugs slow or stop the activity of particular proteins involved in the growth of human cells and in the abnormal growth of cancer cells. Blocking these proteins may decrease or stop tumor growth. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the study drug, to see how well it is tolerated, and also to find a safe dose range of the study drug in patients with specific kinds of tumor genetic changes.
