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 prospective study will compare incidence rates of complete hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcer healing in Medicare beneficiaries following application of the 3C Patch® plus usual care, tested against a historical control group of similar patients that received usual care during a randomized controlled trial.
This study will test the combination of abemaciclib with pembrolizumab in patients with gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma that is metastatic or cannot be surgically removed, and who have progressed on, or were unable to tolerate, at least 2 earlier courses of treatment for their advanced disease.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether immediate weight-bearing following foot and ankle surgery provides similar or superior results to the traditional non-weight-bearing post-operative course, while reducing the disuse atrophy and length of rehabilitation necessary to recover during the transition to weight-bearing following an extended course of non-weight-bearing. This will be done by way of clinical follow-up, serial radiographs and/or other appropriate imaging modalities, and patient reported outcomes by way of AOFAS and SF-36 surveys.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and test the efficacy of the combination of radium-223 dichloride and pembrolizumab in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with bone metastases who either have not received any systemic therapy for their advanced disease or have progressed on prior immunologic checkpoint blockade with antibodies against the programmed cell death protein-(ligand) 1 (PD-1/PD-L1). In this study researchers want to measure tumor shrinkage in response to treatment and how long that shrinkage lasts and gather information on safety. Pembrolizumab is an immunologic checkpoint blocker that promotes an immune response against the tumor. Radium-223 dichloride is an alpha particle-emitting radioactive agent which kills cancer cells.
The study evaluates the the utility of a non-invasive skin measurement as a biomarker of infant food intake during complementary feeding.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combination calcipotriene 0.005% foam and 5% fluorouracil cream for the treatment of actinic keratoses on the scalp. The data obtained will be compared with the current standard of care, monotherapy with 5% fluorouracil cream. A recent randomized, double-blind clinical trial (NCT02019355) compared 0.005% calcipotriol ointment and fluorouracil 5% cream with Vaseline plus fluorouracil 5% cream for a 4-day treatment of actinic keratoses on the face, scalp and upper extremities. They found that calcipotriol plus 5-FU versus Vaseline plus fluorouracil 5% cream led to an 87.8% versus 26.3% mean reduction in the mean number of actinic keratoses. Our study will independently assess the effectiveness of combination treatment (calcipotriene 0.005% foam and fluorouracil 5% cream) on scalp actinic keratoses in a case series of up to 15 eligible participants. Participants will complete a 4-night application of combination treatment with follow-up immediately after and 8 weeks later.
The proposed study represents a quality improvement study of a recently-developed dedicated radiation oncology subspecialty clinic with the goal of improving timeliness of palliative radiation therapy and improving resident training in palliative care topics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of this clinic on time to palliative radiation therapy following referral.
A randomized controlled study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and overall benefit of FCR001 cell therapy in de novo living donor renal transplantation.
This phase II single-arm pilot study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Optune-Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy as a prophylactic approach to reducing small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Optune is a portable battery powered device that produces alternating electrical fields, termed tumor treatment fields ("TTFields") within the human body. These TTFields are applied to the patient by electrically insulated surface transducer arrays, which function to disrupt the rapid cell division of cancer cells.
This study will randomize patients to either receive intraoperative administration of local anesthetic and corticosteriod at time of sacrospinous ligament fixation compared to placebo to determine if intraoperative trigger point injection (TPI) improves postoperative gluteal and sciatic pain scores along with use of narcotic pain medications. There is a paucity of data examining interventions to potentially ameliorate the postoperative gluteal pain often associated with sacrospinous ligament colpopexy. Our study aims to determine if a compounded TPI improves postoperative pain scores and minimizes use of narcotic pain medications by 20% compared to controls.
