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.
Our investigational team has developed a technology to visualize the operative margins in 'real time,' in other words during the operation while the patient is still on the table. While different surgeons use different operative techniques, our technique involves removing the main lumpectomy specimen, marking two of its borders with suture to orient the specimen for correct pathologic evaluation. The FLIM (Fluorescent Lifetime Imaging Microscopy) technique can differentiate between cancerous and noncancerous specimens using a complex algorithm that essentially utilizes a definitive delta between the metabolic activities of diseased and non-diseased tissue. The research coordinator along with the surgeon will be able to insert the lumpectomy specimen followed by the 6 shaved margins (one by one) in a matter of minutes once the specimens have been resected. To be clear, the FLIM analysis will be taking place in- vitro. The device is invitro test and would be tested against the gold standard the pathologist biopsy. FLIM analysis by the surgeon will not take more than several minutes, therefore not adding any significant time for patient to be under anesthesia. All specimens will be removed from the patient's body prior to their evaluation by the FLIM technique. Our team will not be making decisions based on FLIM analysis during this early phase of study. In other words, even if FLIM suggests a positive margin still exists in the body, our team will not act on these results by resecting additional tissue at this stage. FLIM margin results will be compared directly with pathology results for accuracy of the findings.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (single- and multiple-dose) of oxymorphone ER for the relief of moderate to severe pain in pediatric participants ages 7 - ≤17 years old requiring a continuous, around-the-clock (ATC) opioid treatment for an extended period.
This is a study to use glucarpidase prophylactically to treat methotrexate induced toxicities in lymphoma patients with cerebral involvement.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using the Exablate Type 2 system using microbubble resonators (Exablate Test Arm) to disrupt the Blood-Brain Barrier for the purpose of temporarily transforming, and thereby 'marking', regions of infiltrating gliomas prior to planned surgical resection, for the purpose of improving tumor visualization during the surgery to achieve a greater proportion of subjects who receive a Gross Total Resection (GTR) per plan compared to those not undergoing a BBBD procedure prior to resection (Control Arm).
The present study is a controlled trial that seeks to examine the feasibility, acceptability, mechanism, and efficacy of a recently developed computer-based therapy in individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD)
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of HER2-specific dual-switch CAR-T cells, BPX-603, administered with rimiducid to subjects with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors which are HER2 amplified/overexpressed.
This is a single-center, randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel PAI-1 inhibitor (TM5614) for high-risk patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus TM5614 or standard of care plus placebo.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the Nurture Science Program's (NSP) Drop-In group via telemedicine as standard care at Children's Learning Centers (CLC) to prepare preschoolers emotionally for the preschool experience utilizing the Welch Emotional Connection Screen (WECS) Relational Health Toolkit. The behavioral, neurobiological, and clinical insights gained from this project may lead to better treatment of emotional, behavioral and developmental disorders.
The primary objective of this study is to provide expanded access of S-nitrosylation therapy for the treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
This phase II trial studies the effects of trastuzumab deruxtecan in treating patients with HER2 positive osteosarcoma that is newly diagnosed or has come back (recurrent). Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them.
