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 study will determine the effects on brain myelination and cognition of oral risperidone (Risperdal) versus long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate (Invega Sustenna) in first-episode schizophrenia subjects. The hypothesis being tested is that continual inhibition of enzymes such as glycogen synthetase kinase 3 provided by injectable paliperidone palmitate will promote myelination to a greater extent than oral risperidone.
The purpose of this study is to determine the cost-effectiveness of using a cell saver for 2 to 3 level lumbar fusions. A secondary objective is to determine if there will be a decrease in the number of allogenic blood transfusions when a cell saver is used intraoperatively. Another secondary objective is to determine incidence of complications associated with cell saver use and transfusions.
Chemotherapy treatment with platinum based agents is well noted to cause ototoxicity. It is the objective of this study to determine the safety and efficacy of SPI-1005 at three dose levels when delivered orally twice daily for 3 days, surrounding each cycle of platinum chemotherapy in head and neck or non-small cell lung cancer patients to prevent and treat chemotherapy induced hearing loss and tinnitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and utility of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for identifying your tumor during surgery. 5-ALA is not FDA approved at this time. When the investigators remove the tumor from your brain, it is important that they remove all of the tumor and not remove parts of normal brain. Sometimes this can be difficult because the tumor can look like normal brain. In some brain tumors, 5-ALA can make the tumors glow red under blue light. This may make it easier for your doctor to take out all of the tumor from your brain. The purpose of this study is to: - Make sure that 5-ALA helps the doctor remove more of the tumor. - Make sure 5-ALA does not cause any side effects. If you do not want to participate in this study, your doctor(s) will still do their best to remove all of the tumor in your brain. Whether or not you join this study will not change your treatment for your brain tumor.
This research trial collects information about types of treatment and the cost of these procedures in women with elevated genetic risk for ovarian cancer who participated on the Gynecology Oncology Group (GOG)-0199 trial. Gathering information about women at elevated genetic risk for ovarian cancer may help doctors learn more about risk reduction procedures and the cost of these procedures.
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of ridge preservation in the maxillary anterior esthetic zone to determine the best method to establish adequate bone and soft tissue to accommodate implant placement. For the positive control group a mineralized cancellous allograft will be placed in the extraction socket. For the test group a mineralized cancellous allograft will be placed in the extraction socket plus an additional graft will be placed to overlay the facial surface of the socket that will be composed of bovine xenograft material. Outcomes will be clinical horizontal and vertical dimensional change and histologic analysis of the graft material at 4 months post-placement.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Bipap should assume a standard-of-care role in the management of overlap syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) utilizing an experimental lotion containing 0.005% Latanoprost that is applied to the outside of one eyelid.
. New- onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and its occurrence increases with age. POAF can result in clinically significant morbidity and mortality. The national trend in the US is that the population older than 65 years is increasing, making healthcare expenditure related to POAF to be a major burden on health care system. Effective treatment of POAF is imperative in ensuring quality of care and reduction of costs. In 2021 there is a projected total of 377,763 cardiovascular surgeries in the US alone with approximately half of which will have POAF with longer postoperative length of stay (+3.9 days) and higher discharge costs (+$13,993) than no-POAF patients (Reference: Ann Thorac Surg. 2015 Jan;99(1):109-14). Amiodarone, the currently used therapy, is often insufficient to prevent POAF and has multiple side-effects. In this study, we expect to improve the incidence of POAF by using a common acne drug (Minocycline) that is safe and that could be incorporated in clinical care of this disease.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a computer assisted decision support (CADS)system by primary care providers (PCPs) for their patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) changes the quality of care relative to a "usual care" group in terms of objective outcome measures of glycemic control (e.g., A1C, mean blood glucose, frequency of hypoglycemic episodes) and in terms of subjective ratings by patients.
