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 non-inferiority patient-centered and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness pregnancy randomized controlled trial (RCT) with postpartum maternal and child follow-up through 2 years of 1,572 individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to oral metformin versus injectable insulin. This study will determine if metformin is not inferior to insulin in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, is comparably safe for exposed individuals and children, and if patient-reported factors, including facilitators of and barriers to use, differ between metformin and insulin. A total of 1,572 pregnant individuals with GDM who need pharmacotherapy will be recruited at 20 U.S. sites using consistent treatment criteria to metformin versus insulin. Participants and their children will be followed through delivery to two years postpartum.
To learn about the safety and tolerability of the drug combination of Q702, azacitidine, and venetoclax when given to participants with relapsed/refractory AML.
The purpose of this graduate student research study is to provide healthcare professionals with evidence of the potential of circuit strength training in improving the physical and psychosocial well-being of postmenopausal women.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility and acceptability of promotores (community health workers) delivering an educational intervention for Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the impact of the ABaCo program on participants' blood sugar management and quality of life? 2. How well are we able to enroll participants and keep them in the ABaCo program? 3. Is this telephone-based, educational ABaCo program acceptable? Participants will be asked to: - Participate in four research visits: provide fingerstick blood samples before and after the program (at 6 months), and complete questionnaires at four times times during the program (before, twice during, and at 6 months). - Participate in the ABaCo program: join seven (7) individual phone call visits with promotores to review educational information about caring for diabetes while keeping connected to life values. Each phone call lasts approximately 45 minutes once per week for six (6) weeks, then a refresher visit is a month later.
The goal of this study is to investigate the role of physical pain in the link between childhood adversity and later psychopathology. Children who are participating in a larger longitudinal study will be asked to submerge their hand in cold water and hold it in the cold water as long as possible. Participants will do this twice, once alone and once holding the hand of their parent, to examine the role of parental support in pain development. The study will examine self-report of pain and salivary cortisol response to pain. It is hypothesized that children who have been exposed to more adversity will experience increased pain response and increased psychopathology symptoms. It is expected that higher social support in the family will decrease this relationship.
Aging significantly impacts overall health and is a risk factor for developing diabetes. An estimated 50% of U.S. adults aged ≥65 years were reported to have prediabetes (defined as having a fasting glucose concentration of 100-125 mg/dl) in 2005-2008. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that in the United States, 88 million people (one in every 3 Americans) are currently classified as prediabetic, emphasizing the importance of preventative measures and early intervention to manage and reduce the risk of progression to diabetes. Additionally, an estimated 430 million individuals worldwide are expected to have prediabetes by 2030. Dietary supplementation of polyamines, spermidine in particular, have been touted to have beneficial health effects such as increasing life span and mitigating impacts of aging. Spermidine and spermine are polyamines that are being increasingly investigated for their ability to slow the aging process by inducing autophagy. Nevertheless, literature on these topics is scarce and results from trials have been inconclusive; therefore further research is needed. The novel nutraceutical KH-1, comprised of spermidine, spermidine derivatives and probiotics, is examined in this trial of healthy volunteers aged 18 years or over. This study evaluates KH-1 for its safety and its effect on glucose homeostasis. This study measures the effects of KH-1 on biomarkers for inflammation, cardiovascular disease, insulin sensitivity, and those important for autophagy. A qualitative assessment of the effect of KH-1 on well-being is also examined.
Social injustices, such as the absence of racial representation and culturally tailored programs in parks, may further discourage African American families from accessing and using these spaces. 10 Studies are needed to investigate how exposure to more equitable greenspace environments may support physical activity (PA) among African American families. Justice-focused, park-based PA interventions hold high promise for reducing health disparities and future cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and related chronic conditions (RCC) risk, thus carrying significant implications for the fields of public health, family medicine, and urban planning. This pilot study is a two-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in partnership with community stakeholders from the Three River Park District (TRPD); TRPD parks are located in the Twin Cities region of Minnesota. This trial aims to evaluate the changes in PA, psychological health, sleep, and blood pressure among a cohort of African American parent-child dyads who will be randomized to two intervention conditions. The intervention conditions are: (1) a culturally tailored, nature-based program offered at the TRPD (hereafter, "NatureUplift"), and (2) NatureUplift plus a supplementary walking/hiking educational component (hereafter, "NatureUplift+Active"). Participant dyads will be randomized to NatureUplift or NatureUplift+Active.
The goal of this clinical trial is to better understand how different strategies, timing, and enhancements to medically tailored food delivery will address structural inequities in the food environment, empower communities to sustain behavior change, and ultimately improve postpartum weight control to prevent chronic hypertension-a potent contributor to disparate mortality among Black women. - To conduct a pilot randomized control trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a multi-component Medically Tailored Food (MTF) intervention, MFeast ENHANCED (a hybrid MTF intervention with a patient-activated change from prepared meals to fresh food delivery, customized for postpartum people, culturally customized for engagement and adherence, and food provision for dependents) versus MFeast Usual Care (prepared medically tailored foods only). - To test sustainability and scalability. Participants will: - Respond to online surveys (supported by study team members via scheduled phone calls) via REDCap links shared before each study visit at baseline, 3 and 6 months post-delivery after the baseline survey. - Submit anthropometric data (e.g. weight and blood pressure)

Participants will: - Respond to online surveys (supported by study team members via scheduled phone calls) via REDCap links shared before each study visit at baseline, 3, 6 months post-delivery after the baseline survey. - Submit anthropometric data (i.e, weight) and information about laboratory results ( e.g. HgbA1C)
This pilot study will examine the effect of testing order on test outcomes for measures of strength, dynamic balance, and movement quality. Each participant will perform a baseline test, then will perform the 6 iterations of the testing sequence.
