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 specific aim of the study is to determine the false negative rate of the Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay for Cancer.
Multi-center, randomized , double-blind, placebo-controlled , two arm parallel design study of NeuroVax™ vs. Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant ( I F A) placebo. 150 subjects with Secondary Progressive SPMS.
Men with elevated prostate specific antigen bloodtest and prior negative prostate biopsy have a 30-60% of harboring occult prostate cancer. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is an imaging test that may improve prostate cancer detection rates in this population of men. In this prospective randomized trial multicenter trial the investigators will assess the detection rates of prostate cancer diagnosis of systematic biopsy compared with the addition of either a computer targeted system (UroNav - InVivo corp) to sample suspicious areas identified on mpMRI versus the detection rate mpMRI guided freehand biopsy (cognitive fusion biopsy). The hypothesis being tested is that computerized fusion guided biopsy (UroNav) will increase detection prostate cancer compared to cognitive biopsy of these areas and systematic biopsy alone.
The primary aim is to collect data to determine the correct effect size on the primary outcome to aid in the design of a larger study: The primary outcome is to determine if lipoic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can improve cognitive function in people with multiple sclerosis that have cognitive dysfunction.
Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of Efficacy and Safety
Even though there is growing interest in and use of trained Diabetes Alert Dogs (DADs) as a way to monitor blood glucose in type 1 diabetes (T1D), no scientific studies have confirmed the ability of DADs to accurately detect extreme high and low blood sugar. The current project is the first preliminary investigation into the accuracy of DADs, using scientifically rigorous research methods similar to those required to demonstrate accuracy in blood glucose meters. The primary aim of the project is to test the hypotheses that DADs are accurate at detecting extreme blood sugar levels in adults and children with T1D. The proposed project has several other secondary aims, which include determining: 1) the glycemic thresholds and time course for hypo- and hyperglycemic DAD alerts, 2) the degree to which alert accuracy is consistent across different DADs, and 3) whether or not DAD owners appear to experience better psychosocial status and quality of life compared to other individuals with T1D.
Narcotics are widely used as the mainstay of pain treatment, although increasing doses are required over time as the individual becomes tolerant to their effects. This can lead to the development of dependence and abuse of these drugs. Research has identified a new way to decrease the risk of developing tolerance to narcotics, by giving at the same time a drug called rotigotine ("Neupro"). Rotigotine interferes with the body's chemical dopamine and is FDA-approved for the management of Parkinson's Disease. The purpose of this research study is to look at side effects and pain control in healthy people after removal of wisdom teeth, which usually causes pain. It is thought that by giving the study drug rotigotine with the narcotic pain reliever, there will be pain control that will extend longer than when giving the narcotic alone.
ASIS Corporation (ASIS) has developed the only automatic injection system for delivery of injectable products to it's optimum/right spot, just outside of the fascia, which exists subdermally (between the skin and muscle). Bloodless basically implies longer lasting medicinal effects, and minimal side effects - advantages that reflect the NIH mission of enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing the burdens of illness and disability. ASIS device is stabilized on the surface of the skin with negative pressure and emits an electrical current to create a bloodless cavity subdermally. ASIS device correctly, automatically, and consistently delivers therapeutic agents, yet requiring little skill of a practitioner - providing the steady and safe infusion into subdermal bloodless space of virtually any injectable product in addition to Botox, including GAMMAGARD LIQUID, Enbrel, Insulin, and Fillers, etc. According to the FDA, "This innovation will have major impact on the healthcare industry."
AUTOMATIC SUBDERMAL INJECTOR SYSTEM (ASIS) Corporation has developed and patented the only automatic injection system for delivery of injectable products to the optimum spot, just outside of the fascia, which exists subdermally (between the skin and muscle) or interfascial (between the deeper muscles). ASIS device creates that bloodless space, enhancing Enbrel's efficacy and preventing unnecessary distant spread and adverse reactions. This space remains bloodless as long as the skin is lifted up or filled with an injectable product. Although ASIS device was initially designed to best administer BOTOX for such muscular conditions as Upper limb Spasticity, Cervical Dystonia, Chronic Migraine, Strabismus, Blepharospasm, and Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis, the technology will also benefit other injectable products, including: GAMMAGARD for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) and Insulin for Diabetics, etc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Corneal Cross Linking in a Continuous Beam versus Pulsed Treatments across epithelium on and epithelium off surfaces.
