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.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects studies chemotherapy followed by chemotherapy at the same time as radiation therapy (chemoradiation) before surgery (neoadjuvant) in treating patients with stage gastric (stomach) or gastroesophageal junction cancer . Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, oxaliplatin , leucovorin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and chemoradiation before surgery may make the tumor smaller and may reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
The purpose of this study is to establish the reasonableness of using food-based photo diaries and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to engage in counterfactual thinking strategies. These strategies may improve food choices among participants diagnosed with prediabetes (intervention group).
This is a single-center, prospective, open-label study evaluating outcomes of TRELEGY ELLIPTA (fluticasone furoate 100 mcg, umeclidinium 62.5 mcg, and vilanterol 25 mcg inhalation powder) on PRN nebulized short-acting beta agonist (SABA) treatment in hospitalized subjects with COPD with or without asthma. Approximately 80 adult subjects with COPD with or without asthma will take part in this study at this location. Subjects will be given TRELEGY ELLIPTA, placed on a consistent short-term systemic corticosteroid therapy, and followed until 30 days post hospital discharge. This study will not include patients with rapidly deteriorating or potentially life-threatening episodes of COPD or asthma.
Prompt identification of allograft failure (AF) is highly desirable to address patients to liver retransplantation, in order to maximize results and preserve patients safety. Recently, sophisticated kinetic models became available, offering the possibility to predict 90-day AF with unprecedented accuracy, by computing data from the first 10 days after liver transplant (LT). The growing utilization of extended criteria and cardiac death donors stimulates the transplant community to further refine such predictive models and validate them on a larger scale population of patients across the nations. This study aims to develop new algorithms for the timely prediction of AF at 90 and 365 days using a prospective international cohort from high-volume centers, to validate them on a large retrospective cohort, to identify the best time for retransplantation, to stratify the risk of AF according to the graft type (i.e. DBD, ECD, DCD, LD), to weigh the effect of risk-mitigation strategies, and to assess the correlation with post-LT morbidity and mortality.
This is a study of normal brain physiology in healthy human volunteers. The study aims to understand the physiology of connectivity between brain regions. To reach this aim, it delivers single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (spTMS) to one or two brain areas at a time while electroencephalography (EEG) is measured. When only one brain area is stimulated (uni-focal TMS), the goal is to record how many milliseconds it takes for the activity to spread from the stimulated area to other brain regions (conduction delay). When two brain areas are stimulated (bi-focal TMS), the TMS pulses are separated by a short millisecond-level time interval ("asynchrony") in a so-called paired associative stimulation (PAS) design. The central hypothesis is that PAS may increase or decrease connectivity between the stimulated areas depending on the asynchrony value. All techniques in the study are non-invasive and considered safe.
The study is a multicentered, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted on the unilateral knee of 120 patients. The study compares the effectiveness of an injection of a mesenchymal stem cell preparation from autologous bone marrow aspirate (BMA) to a corticosteroid control for knee osteoarthritis. WOMAC, VAS pain scores, and MRI will be used for assessment. The study will be conducted at 3 sites in the United States.
This is an open label, interventional, non-randomized, phase II trial of TCR alpha/beta and CD19-depeleted allogeneic HCT in pediatric patients with hematologic disease.
The purpose of this study is to test a double screening strategy for pancreatic cancer, based on a model developed using patient medical records. Investigators would also like to test whether adding specific blood tests, can further help identify people who have a higher risk of pancreatic cancer than the general population, and would benefit from imaging in order to detect cancer early.
This research project is testing a new compound which may potentially detect specific cancer lesions in men with prostate cancer.
This is an open-label phase 1 clinical trial of allogeneic umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 or other viral pneumonias. Hospitalized individuals who are within 7 days of the onset of a viral pneumonia will be given 2 doses of MSCs at days 1 and 3 after consent. The safety of intravenous infusion will be tested and course of the oxygen response to treatment over 90 days will be evaluated.
