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.
The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of cancer relapse by giving a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) to boost the immune system early after a stem cell transplant so that leukemia cells that escaped chemotherapy can be detected and killed. This DLI will contain mostly lymphocytes that have graft versus tumor effect with low risk of graft versus host disease. Because the process of giving a DLI in the first four weeks after a transplant has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this study in investigational (experimental).
As a result of the opiate crisis, child welfare agencies have experienced an increase in the number of children in foster care as parental substance use puts children at greater risk of maltreatment. To facilitate implementation of the Sobriety Treatment and Recovery Team (START) model, this study (1) identifies collaborative strategies associated with effective implementation and service outcomes given system and organizational context, (2) uses this evidence to specify strategies and develop a decision support guide to help agency leaders select collaborative strategies, and (3) assesses the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the decision support guide.
The investigators will conduct a 2-arm randomized controlled pilot, feasibility feeding study in which 28 participants will be randomized to receive either a calorie-restricted Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet or a calorie-restricted standard American diet provided by the study for 4 weeks. Participants will be non-Hispanic black or white, generally healthy females (14 black, 14 white). The investigators will collect fecal samples at multiple time points before, during, and after the dietary intervention to analyze for changes in the gut microbiota and functional-level metabolic products. This work will be led by an interdisciplinary team including expertise in bio-behavioral science, microbiology, nutrition science, bioinformatics, and biostatistics all with cross-cutting expertise in health disparities, prevention research, nutrition, the gut microbiota, inflammation and other biomarkers. The rationale for the proposed research is that once the interactions between race, diet, and the gut microbiota are more fully understood, targeted diet modifications may provide new and innovative approaches for the prevention and treatment of obesity and obesity-related diseases.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a follow-up larger RCT on the efficacy of Botanical Tincture to relieve abdominal pain in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Constipation Predominant (IBS-C).
Background: The way the body heals and protects itself from getting sick is called the immune response. Some people with weak immune systems get sick often or get rashes and skin infections. Researchers want to find out how the immune system and skin problems are related so they can help these people. Objective: To learn about how immune response and skin healing are related to each other. Eligibility: People ages 18-65 with hyper IgE syndrome or Job syndrome or people ages 7-65 with chronic granulomatous disease. Healthy volunteers ages 18 65 are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Possible urine tests Participants will have 1 to 3 visits within about a week. Visits will include the following: Participants will have a wells device strapped to the inside of the forearm. It will suction the skin and pull the top layer away to form 8 blisters. The skin over the blisters and the liquid inside will be collected. Participants will have up to 4 skin biopsies. A sharp tool will remove a small plug of skin from the forearm. Participants may have blood and urine tests. The skin on participants skin will be rubbed with a cotton swab. Some participants will have an overnight visit. They will have the blister device placed back on the arm. The wells will be lined up over the blister wounds. The wells will be filled with either saline or the participant s blood serum. The device will be covered and left on the arm for up to 24 hours. Doctors will periodically remove some liquid from the wells.
This is a study funded by a Phase II SBIR to build and test the feasibility of a new software prototype for delivering evidence-based behavioral therapy treatment for autism. The software, called Motivity.net, will be used by behavioral therapy provider groups across the country to manage the intensive data collection and analysis workflow associated with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and related therapies, which are becoming standard-of-care treatment for children with autism.
The investigator's purpose is to compare the effects of talocrural joint mobilization with movement versus thrust mobilization on functional performance in subjects reporting chronic ankle instability (CAI).
The study will be conducted over 24 weeks on active therapy followed by a four-week observational visit. The total length of the study will be 28 weeks. Study visits will occur at Screening, Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 followed by an observational visit. Additionally, all subjects will be contacted by phone 1 week following the Baseline visit to ensure daily pain assessments are being recorded. If any signs or symptoms are reported at the time of the call, an unscheduled study visit will be conducted to assess whether an infection is present. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study.
Mindsets are lenses or frames of mind that orient individuals to a particular set of expectations and associations. This study aims to leverage specific and empirically supported mindsets (i.e., 'cancer is manageable' and 'the body is capable') to reduce distress and improve physical health and psychological wellbeing in patients with cancer being treated with curative intent. This intervention will take the form of several brief documentary style film segments which feature both cancer survivors and experts in the fields of Oncology, Psychology, and Psychiatry. Although no mindset-targeted interventions have been studied in cancer patients to date, other psychosocial interventions have demonstrated efficacy in treating emotional distress and improving quality of life in this population. However, compared with these standard interventions, mindset interventions need not be lengthy, complex, or costly to yield major effects. Thus, this project aims to lay the groundwork for future scalable and efficient interventions that can meaningfully reduce distress and improve health and wellbeing in this population.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. TBI 302 is being developed for the treatment of inoperable HCC by intravenous infusion. The objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of TBI 3002.
