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.
A retrospective chart review of an open-label trial of low-dose ketamine administered to front-line Healthcare workers who were identified as experiencing acute stress disorder due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Beyond EV-B, there are clinical observations to implicate other viruses in birth defects, including CHD. Since the Rubella epidemic of 1960s', however, viruses have received little attention and certainly no comprehensive study, especially using next generation sequencing (NGS), has been undertaken in this context. The current pandemic as well as those caused by Zika, influenza, Ebola and Lassa Fever (among many) have shown pregnant women and their baby are at high risk. Therefore, an open-minded approach is warranted when considering the role of maternal viral infections in CHD. Even less is known about maternal immune response, such as antibody production, to these viruses. The investigator's goal is to answer the above gaps in knowledge. The investigators propose to do that using two different approaches; one retrospective (analysis of samples in two existing, large biorepositories) and the other prospective. The investigator's have created a multi-disciplinary team to bring together the needed expertise from individuals who have overlapping and vested interest in this project. The investigator's specific aim is to examine the diversity of the gut virome in non-pregnant and pregnant women with and without diabetes, with special emphasis on known cardiotropic viruses (those with tropism for cardiac tissues). This study is seen by the investigator's as the first step prior to a larger prospective multi-institutional study to specifically assess the linkage between the maternal virome and CHD pathogenesis.
The objective of this pilot intervention study is to iteratively refine motivational interviewing and psychosocial intervention programs delivered via telehealth (Teletx) to help improve substance use and other related outcomes in SUD patients who are not receiving SUD care. We will examine feasibility and acceptability of these pilot psychosocial programs in a total of n=50 participants. The goal is to refine the programs to improve acceptability and feasibility and collect preliminary data for a future fully powered randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the future. In addition to study sessions, participants that are enrolled in the study will complete surveys prior to, during, and after treatment.
Approximately 40 participants with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma will be enrolled in 20 sites in the United States into 1 of the following 2 arms: Primary resistance to initial checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in Arm A and Acquired resistance to initial CPI therapy in Arm B. Participants who have disease progression (PD) after discontinuation of CPIs, especially in neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, will be considered to have acquired resistance in this study. Participants will receive study treatment (Selinexor and Pembrolizumab) until PD, intolerable toxicity or withdrawal from the study, whichever occurs first.
Recent immunological and physiological studies have provided evidence in support of a central nervous system (CNS) lymphatic drainage system in vertebrate animals, and preliminary evidence has suggested that a similar system exists in humans. If operative, this system may have central relevance to many vascular and fluid clearance disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease related dementia (ADRD): diseases which represent some of the most pressing healthcare challenges of the 21st century. Evaluating this possibility will require improved, robust imaging methods sensitive to lymphatic drainage dysfunction; as such, the goal of this work is to apply novel magnetic resonance imaging approaches, optimized already for evaluating lymphatic circulation in patients with peripheral lymphatic dysfunction, to quantify relationships between physiological hallmarks of ADRD and CNS lymphatic function in humans.
This is a multi-center evaluation of efruxifermin (EFX) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in non-cirrhotic subjects with biopsy-proven F2 - F3 NASH.
The primary objectives of this phase 2b/3 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clesrovimab in healthy pre-term and full-term infants. It is hypothesized that clesrovimab will reduce the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated medically attended lower respiratory infection (MALRI) from Days 1 through 150 postdose compared to placebo.
The objective of this study is to address gaps in knowledge related to the influence of pediatric fruit and vegetable prescription programs on food security, child dietary patterns, and weight status. To do this, we will compare demographically similar pediatric patient groups from three large clinics in a low-income urban city based on their exposure to a fruit and vegetable prescription program (FVPP) that provides one $15 prescription for fresh fruits and vegetable to every child at every office visit. Three clusters will be identified based on child exposure to the pediatric FVPP at baseline: high exposure (>24 months), moderate exposure (12-24 months), and no previous exposure. We will then introduce the FVPP to never exposed patients and collect, record, and compare changes in dietary intake, food security, and weight status over time. We will test the hypothesis that exposure to the FVPP is associated with higher intake of fruits and vegetables, better food security, and lower rates of obesity among children. The first aim will compare baseline dietary intake, food security, and weight status between high exposure, moderate exposure, no exposure groups. The second aim will measure changes in diet, food security, and weight status at 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months among children newly exposed to the FVPP. The third aim will compare follow-up measures of dietary intake, food security, and weight status in the initial no exposure group to baseline measures in the high exposure group.
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of a behavioral sleep extension intervention on sleep duration, cardio-metabolic disease risk factors, and health behaviors among adults with elevated blood pressure/hypertension and short sleep duration.
The overall goal of this project, co-funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the USHER 1F Collaborative is to characterize the natural history of disease progression in patients with PCDH15 mutations in order to accelerate the development of outcome measures for clinical trials.
