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 is an observational study of morbidly obese patients recovering from general anesthesia after weight-loss surgery. The investigators aim to assess ventilatory function and how this is influenced by the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), baseline ventilatory status, as well as pharyngeal collapsibility of patients who are recovering from anesthesia and treated for pain with opioids. The investigators hypothesize that patients with OSA, chronic (baseline) hypoventilation and increased pharyngeal collapsibility, will be more vulnerable to opioid-induced ventilatory depression.
A study to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of serial intravenous dose of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Bone Marrow Cells in subjects with heart failure and implanted left ventricular assist devices.
This study evaluates the effect of a multilayer skin dressing (Mepilex) placed on the sacrum or a fluid filled pad (LiquiCell) on risk factors for pressure injuries under conditions consistent with military long-distance transport or prolonged field care. Participants will be assigned to one of six groups - air transport, air transport on a spinal immobilization surface with or without Mepilex or on a field stretcher with or without LiquiCell.
Cancer patients often require administration of multiple supportive care pharmacotherapies while receiving chemotherapy regardless the type of cancer. Supportive care therapies are commonly prescribed to nearly all cancer patients and could include antiemetics (ondansetron), pain management (opiates), GI protection (PPIs), antidepressants (select SSRIs), anticoagulation (warfarin) and antifungal prophylaxis (voriconazole). These are all are associated with known pharmacogenetic interactions, which in some cases render the drugs ineffective or toxic. This could result in negative impacts on quality of life in patients who are already undergoing complicated and costly anticancer regimens. Pharmacogenetic-guided therapy based on an individual patient's genetic profile could potentially target symptoms for which an individual is uniquely susceptible, guiding use of medications that are most likely to be effective, thereby reducing unnecessary physical complications and financial strain. It is hypothesized that patients in the genotype intervention arm will report lower scores for overall symptom distress as compared to patients in the delayed genotype intervention arm following initiation of chemotherapy.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib and entinostat and to see how well they work in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers that have come back or do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy. Olaparib and entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is an exploratory Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic effects of RVT-1201 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Phase 1B randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-cohort clinical trial of ABI-M201 in adult subjects with mildly-to-moderately active Ulcerative Colitis(UC) and ongoing treatment with mesalamine.
This is a pilot non-comparative study to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training guided by the leva® system for improving change in subject-reported incontinence-related quality of life and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episode frequency based on voiding diaries in women at 8 weeks.
The purpose and objectives of the study is to establish the feasibility of the simultaneous PET/MR in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis, determine relationships between various imaging biomarkers like extracellular volume (ECV) and standardized uptake values (SUV) from FDG-PET and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the simultaneous method in comparison to the PET/CT and cardiac MRI.
Infection and sepsis are common after acute kidney injury (AKI) and increase mortality. In this study, the investigators will determine whether patients with acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery have immunosuppression as judged by blood markers of immunoparalysis.
