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 study is being done to help researchers learn more about and successfully diagnose cancer using blood samples and tissue samples from surgeries in patients with suspicious thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer. Diagnosing cancer in this way, as opposed to biopsies, may be less invasive to the patient. Analyzing blood and tissues samples may also help researchers to differentiate non-cancerous tumors from thyroid cancer and detect high-risk mutations to guide treatment.
This study enrolls patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myelofibrosis (MFS), with transfusional iron overload and treats them with the investigational iron chelator, SP-420. SP-420 may be better tolerated and safer than commercially available iron chelators. Iron chelation therapy (ICT) has been shown to improve outcomes in iron overload, but adherence is poor due to problems related to ease of administration, tolerability, and safety.
Endocrine disorders like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent complex cardiometabolic disease processes affecting approximately 462 million individuals worldwide and is associated with a two- to three-fold increase in cardiovascular mortality. Individuals with T2DM are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Research has shown individuals with T2DM and no previous history of coronary artery disease are still at similar risk rates for cardiovascular events as patients with a prior myocardial infarction. The MAgenetoCardiography ENDOcrine Registry (MACENDOR) study is designed to collect CardioFlux scans on a select group of volunteers who are high-risk patients with endocrine disorders. CardioFlux is used as a noninvasive magnetocardiography (MCG) tool that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart to screen volunteers for heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 250 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.
This is a randomized, comparative-effectiveness study comparing intradiscal autologous stem cells (from bone marrow aspirate) to intradiscal corticosteroid for the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain (LBP). The primary objective of this study is to determine whether intradiscal autologous stem cells (from bone marrow aspirate) is more effective than intradiscal steroids for the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain (LBP). Participants in this study will be randomized to receive up to intradiscal stem cell injections at 1 or 2 discs with cells harvested from a bone marrow aspirate drawn from participants' iliac crest, or an equal volume (2 mL) of intradiscal steroids and local anesthetic injected into the discs. In order to identify the painful disc(s), discography may be used at the discretion of the provider. Both treatments are frequently used as part of clinical care (i.e. there is no placebo group).
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, with over 650,000 deaths in 2019 alone. Many healthy individuals possess key risk factors for heart disease which include but are not limited to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease, and diabetes. The Mason Heart Study-MCG (MHS-MCG) registry is designed to collect magnetocardiography (MCG) scans on a select group of healthy volunteers who work for the city of Mason, OH, with and without cardiac symptoms, illnesses, and/or risk factors. CardioFlux is used as a noninvasive MCG tool that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart to detect various forms of heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 250 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux MCG scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1b/2a study designed to evaluate the safety of an investigational product called ATR-04, to reduce the severity of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) associated papulopustular rash on the face. This study will be performed at 10-12 clinical sites, with potentially a virtual component. Approximately 60 eligible subjects will participate. A subject's participation in the study will be up to a maximum of 86 days (up to 28 days for Screening, 28 days of BID treatment, and a 30 day no treatment follow-up period). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATR-04 compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to test an experimental oncolytic adenovirus called DNX-2440 in patients with resectable multifocal (≥ 2 lesions) liver metastasis, who are scheduled to have curative-intent liver resection surgery. Up to 18 patients will receive two sequential intra-tumoral injections of DNX-2440 into a metastatic liver tumor prior to surgery for liver resection, to evaluate safety and biological endpoints across 3 dose levels (dose escalation). Upon conclusion of the dose-escalation phase, the selected safe and biologically appropriate dose will be administered using the same schema for an additional 12 patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (expansion cohort) using established biologic endpoints.
The study consists of two parts based on the administration of single-agent GRN-300 or in combination with paclitaxel. Part 1 (Phase IA) will test the tolerability of continuous twice a day dosing of oral GRN-300, a salt-inducible kinase inhibitor, with each cycle consisting of 28 days of treatment. The number of administered cycles will depend on the tolerability of each dose level and the severity and occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) or adverse events. Part 2 (Phase IB) will test the tolerability of continuous 28-day cycles of GRN-300 in combination with weekly paclitaxel given 3 of 4 weeks per month (x 3). Overall duration of the study will be approximately 48 months, depending on the rate of enrollment and number of subjects enrolled.
This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab alone or in combination with CMP-001 in treating patients with melanoma that can be treated by surgery (operable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with CMP-001 may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The addition of CMP-001 to pembrolizumab could improve the ability of the immune system to shrink tumors and to prevent them from returning.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different techniques to perform the standard of care surgery to treat prostate cancer. This surgery is called robotic radical prostatectomy. There are two robotic surgical systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to perform this surgery. First system is called the Da Vinci ® Xi system. With this system, six small incisions are made during the surgery. Second system is called the Da Vinci ® SP system. With this system a single incision is made during the surgery. Same surgery is done with each surgical system. This study aims to understand whether a single incision surgery ends up with better recovery after surgery.
