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.
Evaluating the benefit of dry needling of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in subjects with cervicogenic headaches.
This research study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing for ADHD medications will help guide clinicians to choose medications and dosages for pediatric ADHD treatment that provide faster symptom relief, fewer or less severe side effects, improve patient quality of life, and lessen emotional stress for parents/guardians of the patients.
This study attempts to demonstrate improvement in analgesia in a more diverse laparoscopic surgery group with the use of laparoscopic assisted transversus abdominis plane blocks. The investigators will compare bupivacaine (treatment arm 1) versus liposomal bupivacaine (treatment arm 2) versus port site injection of local anesthesia with injection of saline placebo (control). The hypothesis is that liposomal bupivacaine will result in improved analgesia when compared to bupivacaine LAPB and control. The investigators further hypothesize that bupivacaine LAPB will be more effective than the control.
Subjects with known or suspected primary soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities may be eligible for this study. Subjects may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age. Most participants will be receiving care at the clinical practices of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate soft tissue sarcoma hypoxia using an investigational radiotracer, 18F-FMISO Subjects will also undergo an 18F-FDG PET/CT scan close to the time of their initial hypoxia PET/CT to compare in vivo measures of hypoxia to 18F-FDG uptake. The FDG PET/CT may be performed as part of standard clinical care or as a research scan. Both PET/CT scans will occur prior to starting new therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients with solid tumors will be enrolled in the Dose Escalation Phase; Cohort Expansion will include metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), and melanoma. Patients who do not experience unacceptable toxicity or meet criteria for permanent discontinuation may undergo additional cycles for up to two years. Patients in Cohort Expansion will be followed for survival every 3 months for 2 years following last dose.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214: BEMPEG) combined with nivolumab to that of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) monotherapy (sunitinib or cabozantinib) in IMDC intermediate- or poor-risk patients and IMDC all-risk patients with previously untreated advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of rotigotine against placebo in adolescent subjects with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) over a 12-week maintenance period and to investigate the safety and tolerability of rotigotine in adolescent subjects with idiopathic RLS.
The objective of this exploratory study is to gain an understanding of cutaneous and systemic inflammation and how restoration of the skin barrier through the use of moisturizer may restore the skin barrier function and reduce systemic inflammation in elderly humans compared to the young. The exploratory study will consist of three visits per subject. Subjects will be instructed to apply a moisturizer (Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream) over the entire skin surface from the neck down twice daily for up to 30 days.
Managing pain in postoperative patients presents challenges in striking a balance between achieving adequate pain control and over-prescribing opioids that have the potential to contribute to the opioid epidemic. There are no clear guidelines informing postoperative opioid prescribing in obstetrics and gynecology. The primary aim for this study are to better understand the factors that impact opioid use for pain management in gynecologic surgery patient after discharge. The second aim is to develop a model that incorporates individual patient baseline measures (e.g. anxiety, fibromyalgia score, inpatient narcotic consumption) to predict the amount of opioids needed following discharge.
Background: Ependymomas are rare tumors that arise from the ependyma. That is a tissue of the central nervous system. They can develop in the brain or the spine. They are usually treated with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if the new drug marizomib can help people with a certain kind of ependymoma. Objective: To see if marizomib stops tumor growth and prolongs the time that the tumor is controlled. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who have been diagnosed with ependymomas and have already been treated with standard therapies Design: Participants will be screened with the following tests or recent results from similar tests: - Medical history - Physical exam - Neurological assessment - Electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate the heart - Review of symptoms and ability to perform normal activities - Computed tomographic scan (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce an image of the brain or spine. - Blood and urine tests - Tests of tumor samples. Participants may have to have new tumor samples taken. Participants will get the study drug in cycles. Each cycle is 4 weeks. Participants will have up to 24 cycles. Participants will get the study drug through a small plastic tube in a vein on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. During each cycle, some screening tests will be repeated. Participants will answer questions about their general well-being and functioning. About 4 5 weeks after finishing the study drug, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will answer questions about their health, get a physical and a neurological exam, and have blood tests. They may have an MRI or CT scan. ...
