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 Phase 2a Open-Label Preliminary Safety, Tolerability, and Biomarker Study of Oral Fasudil in Patients with the 4-Repeat Tauopathies of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-Richardson Syndrome or Corticobasal Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a new technology called breathprinting, or electronic nose (e-nose), to detect early-stage lung cancer. Additionally, researchers also want to see if the e-nose technology is more effective at diagnosing lung cancer if the tumor size is larger.
Together Overcoming Diabetes (TOD) is a culturally tailored, family-based type 2 diabetes management and preventive intervention. Participants in this trial are American Indian adult caregivers diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and their youth, aged 10-16 years at enrollment. Adult/youth participant dyads will be enrolled across 5 Ojibwe tribal communities. Consenting participant dyads will be randomized into one of two groups: Group A: begin the intervention program immediately; Group B (waitlist): begin the intervention program in 2 years. Both groups will complete assessments with study staff at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months to assess HbA1c, cholesterol, blood pressure (adults), biometric measures, and psychosocial and behavioral outcomes (adults and youth). The 14-lesson intervention program will be delivered in the participant's home by local Family Health Coaches over a 6-month period. Upon completion of the intervention, participants may also be invited to participate in a "Ripple Effects Mapping" (REM) session for discussions, and mapping of the intervention effects.
This clinical trial examines a group-mediated cognitive behavioral resistance exercise intervention in head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing chemoradiation treatment. Chemoradiation is the established standard of care for locally advanced head and neck cancer patients. However, many head and neck cancer patients experience clinically meaningful declines in muscle mass, physical function, and quality of life during and following treatment. Resistance exercise has been shown to improve muscle mass, body composition, and physical function when integrated with appropriate standard of care nutritional counseling/supplementation. This trial may help researchers determine the important of integrating exercise interventions with routine cancer care.
Technologic advances (i.e. next generation sequencing technologies and novel bioinformatics approaches) have been drivers of scientific discovery and have deepened our understanding of the genetics and genomics of health and disease. In parallel, the falling cost of sequencing has led to screening moving from specialty clinics into the primary care setting. However, our ability to help patients and families understand these technologies and related genetic health literacy issues lag behind. These factors pose a number of questions and challenges for clinicians including: how can we best present complex genetic/genomic information to patients to ensure that patients understand the information and can make informed decisions? What are the specific information and support needs of patients and families to be able to make decisions that are in line with their values? In collaboration with investigators from the Harvard Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital, this project broadly aims to examine patient understanding and factors affecting decisions surrounding genetic testing. Using the paradigm of a rare genetic disorder (isolated gonadotropin releasing hormone [GnRH] deficiency - hypogonadotropic hypogonadism/Kallmann syndrome [HH/KS]) we will examine the views and perspectives of patients and healthcare professionals alike regarding genetic/genomic information and testing with the intention of identifying patient-centered responses to these unmet needs and challenges.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity and long-term persistence of immune response up to 3 years following a single dose vaccination of GSK's investigational vaccine RSVPreF3 OA, in adults aged 60 years and above. The study will also evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of additional vaccine doses given according to different revaccination schedules.
This is a phase 1b, open-label study in adult healthy subjects. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity the combination of hAd5-S-Fusion+N-ETSD (Suspension for injection) and hAd5-S-Fusion+N-ETSD (Oral capsule) and to select an optimal combination dose for future studies.
This is a two-part (Phase 2/Phase 3) study of MK-5475, an inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The first part (Phase 2) will assess three different doses of MK-5475 compared to placebo in a base period of 12 weeks, followed by comparison of three different doses of MK-5475 during an optional 24 month extension period. The treatment dose with the best efficacy and safety profile in the phase 2 cohort base period will be selected for use in the second part (Phase 3) of the study. The primary hypothesis of Phase 2 is that at least one MK-5475 dose is superior to placebo in reducing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline at week 12. The purpose of the second part (Phase 3) of the study is to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MK-5475 at the selected dose compared to placebo during a 12 week base period followed by an extension period of up to 5 years. The primary hypothesis of Phase 3 is that MK-5475 is superior to placebo in increasing 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline at week 12.
Chronic pain, functional impairment and slow rates of recovery are key issues for patients after surgery and trauma. No preventative strategy in current use unequivocally modifies these rates, and few novel approaches have been tested. Furthermore, persistent postsurgical pain is a major route to chronic opioid use, opioid use disorder and, regrettably, opioid overdose. Most strategies designed to limit chronic pain or enhance functional recovery after surgery are directed at modulating peripheral and central nervous system activity and do not strongly modify the underlying tissue pathophysiology or fundamental systemic responses. Strategies limiting oxidative stress in the perioperative period, on the other hand, might limit tissue damage, organ dysfunction and immune system activation. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant well-studied in the perioperative period; it is very safe, relatively inexpensive and widely available. The central hypothesis is, therefore, that perioperative administration of NAC will reduce perioperative oxidative stress, limit immune system activation and improve key indices of surgical recovery. Although the planned work will not comprehensively address this hypothesis, it will identify the most useful tools and help the researchers estimate the required sample sizes for more definitive externally funded efforts.
AMB-051-01 is a multicenter study with an adaptive design that will enroll approximately 12 subjects with TGCT of the knee for 12 weeks of multiple-dose, open-label treatment with AMB-05X.
