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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zip-stitch™ Vaginal Cuff Closure System. This will be primarily done by measuring the frequency of implant passing following system use. Also assessed will be relevant safety and efficacy endpoints as compared to a two-to-one reference group (V-LOC barbed suture).
This project is set up to advance and integrate the established mathematical principles of oxygen saturation to model with increasing accuracy the "body in a body" problem of fetus in mother; similar to existing pulse oximeters,
This study is being conducted to study light scattering properties of maternal-fetal tissue.
This clinical trial studies how to improve the diet quality and physical activity level of Latino cancer survivors living in rural areas. The recommendation to eat a high-quality diet and engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical exercise may reduce cancer risk, improve cancer survival rate, and reduce associated conditions. However, it is not well understood how best to teach cancer survivors, especially Latino cancer survivors living in rural areas, to achieve and maintain diet and physical activity. Understanding how to build a culturally appropriate education that is effective may improve the diet quality and physical activity level of Latino cancer survivors.
The purpose of this project is to test whether an online cognitive rehabilitation program or online thinking exercises helps improve memory and thinking in elderly patients who survive a severe infection.
Ferumoxytol injection (Feraheme®) is a parenteral form of iron supplementation that is FDA-approved for treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Ferumoxytol injection achieves iron repletion in fewer doses (2) when compared with other available injectable iron formulations (5-6) available at NYU Langone Health, and thus may be useful to reduce travel burden and expedite full iron repletion in patients with iron deficiency. Iron-deficiency anemia is common in patients after placement of a ventricular assist device (VAD) for treatment of end-stage heart disease. This is a pilot study to test the feasibility of iron repletion with ferumoxytol injection in 20 eligible subjects with laboratory evidence of iron deficiency after placement of a VAD.
Glucagon regulation and response in persons with T1D at the basal state and in response to various stimuli remains unclear. Dr. Philip Cryer has previously reported that, in T1D young adults with a course of the disease of 16+9 years, the absence of endogenous insulin secretion results in increased glucagon secretion after a mixed meal, concluding that endogenous insulin reciprocally regulates the alpha-cell glucagon secretion and also suggesting that glucagon dysregulation may play an important role in post-prandial hyperglycemia in T1D. Interestingly, recent research on human islets have shown that insulin inhibits counter-regulatory glucagon secretion by a paracrine effect mediated by SGLT2-dependent stimulation of somatostatin release. An important gap in our knowledge is whether the timing of prandial insulin doses affects the glucagon response to a hyperglycemic stimulus in patients with T1D who have undetectable C-peptide. Whether appropriately timed exogenous insulin can modify the glucagon response to glucose fluctuations has not been studied. As such, this pilot study aims to characterize the glucagon response to meal-time hyperglycemia and to compare the difference in glucagon secretion when mealtime bolus insulin is given before the meal versus after the meal with the objective of understanding factors that contribute to the peak post-prandial blood glucose and AUC of blood glucose after a mixed meal in this target population.
This is a Phase I/II study augmenting TAK-659 action in relapsed/refractory AML by addition of the proteasome inhibitor Ixazomib. Phase I of the study will determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of TAK-659 and Ixazomib. During the phase I, dose escalation will be conducted according to a standard 3+3 dose escalation schema, and up to 18 response-evaluable patients will be enrolled. Phase II of the study will evaluate the efficacy of the combination by measuring the overall response rate (ORR).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of two types of education on HbA1c level and future amputations in inpatient diabetics after initial minor foot amputation
The purpose of the study is to determine whether standardized implementation of a scripted template for discussing important issues that arise near the end of life improves the care of those who have advanced cancer.
