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 a single center, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial (pRCT) examining whether reporting the results of a negative rapid PCR back to the provider via a pager alert results in decreased vancomycin utilization for critically ill adults with community-acquired pneumonia when compared with usual care.
Parkinson Disease (PD) patients experience a variety of motor issues such as walking difficulties, loss of balance, and freezing while walking, which impacts their quality of life. Some symptoms, like freezing of gait (FOG), do not respond to medications typically used to treat PD. Current surgical procedures used to alleviate PD symptoms also do not always improve FOG. Since many traditional therapies have failed for the treatment of FOG, researchers have proposed the use of newer treatments. Recent research in animal models and clinical human data using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has produced promising results, specifically showing improvement in FOG with the use of SCS in patients with PD. The purpose of this study is to explore the long-term motor and non-motor effects of SCS in PD patients after completing participation on H-49023. The investigators hypothesize that SCS significantly decreases FOG episodes in patients with PD. 1. Assess the long-term safety, tolerability and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of upper thoracic spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's (PD) patients. 2. Allowing patients to choose between the two SCS programming paradigms based on their motor, nonmotor and quality of life measures in PD patients with freezing of gait.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) are studied. ARDS is a life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs making breathing difficult. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to health care. People who are admitted to ICU for serious illnesses, like ARDS, often experience new health problems during and after their ICU stays. These health problems that may include physical, mental, and/or emotional disorders, are called post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Identifying these new health problems early can help people by timely treatments and care. In this study, researchers want to identify any health problems that arise after ICU admission in people with ARDS in the United States (US). To do this, researchers will collect information on health problems, treatments, medicines, and healthcare visits in people with ARDS, 1 year before and after an ICU admission. They will then look to see whether the health problems are in areas that have been described as the post intensive care syndrome (PICS). In addition, they will measure healthcare related costs in the one year after admission and compare it to the one year prior to admission. Researchers will also compare this information with data collected for people with pneumonia who did not require ICU admission. This will help them to identify any new health problems arising due to ICU stays. The data will come from participants' medical claims information stored in the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database from 2016 to 2022. The claims data will only be collected for people in the US. Researchers will collect data from participants admitted to ICU for ARDS for a maximum of 1 year before and after their stay.
The BEGIN Study by BostonGene and Exigent Genomic INsight evaluates the efficacy of comprehensive molecular testing in advanced cancer patients. Using the BostonGene Tumor Portrait test, the study aims to identify actionable findings, assess feasibility, and determine patient enrollment in clinical trials. Four cohorts of 100 patients each will be studied over two years, focusing on treatment decisions and patient outcomes. This study seeks to demonstrate the clinical utility of genomic testing in guiding therapy for advanced cancer patients in community settings.
This trial is designed to evaluate the effect of glucagon receptor antagonism by volagidemab (once weekly) on glucose recovery from hypoglycemia after treatment with glucagon in adults with type 1 diabetes. After informed consent, Screening procedures to establish subject eligibility will be performed within a period of 28 days. Approximately 24 subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on stable doses of insulin will be enrolled. After enrollment, subjects will undergo a baseline Hypoglycemia Recovery Procedure (with glucagon rescue). Subjects will then receive volagidemab subcutaneously (SC) once weekly for 6 weeks. At the end of the treatment phase, subjects will undergo a second Hypoglycemia Recovery Procedure. Subjects will be followed for 6 weeks after the last volagidemab dose with a final End-of-Study (EOS) visit during Week 12. The primary outcome will be the change in time to glucagon treatment success at Week 6 versus baseline.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of zilebesiran as add-on therapy in patients with high cardiovascular risk and hypertension not adequately controlled by standard of care antihypertensive medications.
No studies to date to evaluate the effects of the three different liquid IV electrolyte products on the beverage hydration index (BHI). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the impact of three different LIV products (Hydration multiplier, Sugar Free formulation with Amino Acids, and Sugar Free with allulose) on hydration status in young and active men and women compared to a control (water). The study will follow the same approach as used by Maughan and colleagues (2016) to measure the fluid balance (the difference between the amount of water consumed and passed as urine) and BHI (the relative amount of urine passed after consumption of a drink compared to water) including time in positive fluid balance, as well as determining electrolyte concentrations, osmolality, specific gravity, and sodium and potassium in urine.
This is a patient level randomized trial for teenagers and adults with asthma who will be randomized to four arms - enhance usual care, rescue inhaled corticosteroids, azithromycin and both rescue inhaled corticosteroids and azithromycin. Participants in all arms will be offered access to an online asthma symptom monitoring system.
A Case control study with 150 cases and 50 controls will be conducted. Immunologic (cytokines measurements in nasal secretions and sinonasal tissues), histopathologic (tissue eosinophilia) and clinical parameters (Lund-Mackay and Lund-Kennedy score, lung function tests), surveys (SNOT- 22, SF-36 quality of life survey) will be compared between different groups of patients
This is a community-based study that will engage community and health care stakeholders to develop, implement, and evaluate a Health Literacy (HL)-informed, culturally- and linguistically- sensitive approach to improving language access services for patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) to promote health equity and reduce disparities in preventive health services use and health outcomes in New York City (NYC). This study will have a total of 4 phases that include a preparatory work phase (Non-Human Subjects Research), a pre-implementation phase, an implementation phase, and a post-implementation phase. Findings from the preparatory work and pre-implementation phase and discussions with key partners will inform the co-design of intervention strategies and endpoints for the later phases (implementation and post-implementation phase).
