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.
Influenza outbreaks are a prevalent event in nursing homes (NHs). We will study baloxavir compared to oseltamivir when used for influenza prophylaxis when facilities identify an index incident case of influenza. This study will help guide nursing home's decision making and demonstrate the effectiveness of a novel antiviral for preventing influenza outbreaks.
This clinical trial evaluates the use of an Episodic Future thinking Intervention to promote weight loss in breast cancer survivors. Obesity is associated with multiple negative health sequelae in breast cancer survivors. This includes an increased risk of cancer recurrence and mortality, multiple quality of life issues, and increased risk of co-morbidities. Delay Discounting is a behavioral health economic target that refers to the "discounting" of a larger benefit in the future for a smaller, more immediate reward in the present. A high delay discounting rate is correlated with poor dietary choices and sedentary lifestyle. Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) simulates positive events that may occur in one's future, engaging the science of prospection. EFT decreases delay discounting rate, resulting in healthier diet choices and weight reduction. However, valuation of the future may impact cancer survivors differently due to adjusted mortality perception and cancer-related stress. This study will determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of remotely delivered (smartphone application) EFT as a behavioral intervention for weight loss in breast cancer survivors. Implementation of EFT as a complementary approach to standard lifestyle interventions could lead to improvement in weight loss, food choice, and quality of life, thereby positively impacting overall health and longevity in cancer survivors.
Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare cancer of the nasal cavity. At diagnosis, it is usually locally advanced. It tends to spread to the neck. Sometimes it spreads to the lungs and bones. Researchers want to find a better way to treat it. Objective: To learn if giving immunotherapy drug bintrafusp alfa can help ONB shrink or disappear. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic ONB that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, blood and urine tests, and physical exam. Their ability to perform their normal activities will be assessed. They will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. They will have imaging scans and/or a nuclear bone scan, as needed. For some scans, they may receive a contrast dye. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will receive bintrafusp alfa once every 2 weeks for 26 doses. They will get it intravenously over 60 minutes. They may get other medicines to prevent side effects. They will complete health questionnaires. Visits will last 4-6 hours. Participants may have optional tumor biopsies. Participants will have an end of treatment visit within 7 days after they stop taking the study drug. About 28 days after treatment ends, they will have a safety visit. They will have follow-up visits every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months for years 2-5, and then once a year after that for the rest of their life. If their disease progresses, they may be eligible for re-treatment with the study drug
This trial studies how well a peer-based health education program works in reducing barriers and changing attitudes and beliefs of prostate cancer genetic screening in African American participants with or without a previous personal or family history of prostate cancer. Participating in a peer-based health educational program may help participants learn more about prostate cancer and how their personal or family history of disease may increase their risk of prostate cancer.
The objective of this study is to assess the clinical impact of a digital therapy for the management of fibromyalgia. Study participants receive 12 weeks of Digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in addition to their standard care for fibromyalgia. The primary endpoint is the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at week 12. This is a virtual, single-arm, pragmatic, non-significant risk study.
This trial is investigating an intravenous (IV) medication called 9-ING-41 in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin) for the treatment of advanced salivary gland cancers. The names of the study drug(s) involved in this study are: - 9-ING-41 (a GSK-3β inhibitor) - Carboplatin chemotherapy
In this research study we want to learn more about the effect of two different FDA-approved medications in the treatment of osteoporosis.
This is a Phase 1b/2a study with the primary objective to determine if BX004-A is safe and tolerable. Exploratory objectives include whether BX004-A reduces sputum Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) bacterial load in CF subjects with chronic PsA pulmonary infection.
This study will test the safety of ruxolitinib, given at one dose that does not change, and duvelisib, given at different doses, to find out what effects, if any, the study treatment has on people with relapsed or refractory NK-cell or T-cell lymphoma.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major public health problem: it impairs quality of life and independently heightens the risks of ischemic stroke, heart failure and all-cause mortality. AF is a common reason for presenting to emergency departments (ED) in Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) and is associated with frequent hospitalization. Additionally, inter-facility hospitalization rates for AF vary across KPNC. Improvements in modifiable components of ED AF care could potentially reduce low-yield hospitalizations and the associated costs, patient inconveniences, and complications that can ensue. Real-time clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can transform entrenched physician practices and improve patient outcomes. The investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial of a CDSS intervention across 13 KPNC EDs for the comprehensive management of acute AF with the following three aims: 1) To evaluate the impact of the CDSS intervention on index hospitalization rates; 2) To evaluate the impact of the CDSS intervention on ED AF rate and rhythm control process-of-care metrics; and 3) To evaluate the impact of the CDSS intervention on AF stroke prevention actions for eligible participants at the time of ED discharge. The investigators hypothesize that the CDSS intervention will safely reduce index hospitalization rates, improve rate and rhythm control process-of-care metrics, and increase stroke prevention actions for eligible participants at ED discharge and within 30 days.
