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 clinical trial is a randomized control trial to compare the efficacy of a combined lidocaine and corticosteroid (CS) injection versus a corticosteroid injection (CS) alone on pain, range of motion, and patient reported outcomes for the treatment of common upper extremity tendinopathies and nerve entrapments that are often treated with a combination of these injectates.
The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 1: To evaluate the safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel in combination with utomilumab and to identify the most appropriate dose and timing of utomilumab to carry forward into Phase 2 Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of axicabtagene ciloleucel and utomilumab in participants with refractory large B-cell lymphoma
An Open Label, Intra-Subject Dose Escalation Study of CCX140 B in Subjects with Primary FSGS and Nephrotic Syndrome
The complex pathological cascades leading to both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) involve, at various points, inflammation. Since inflammation is a treatable symptom, understanding how and when it impacts the brain, and where specifically in the brain, would offer important guidance in the development of new treatments, sorely needed in both diseases. Microglia play an important anti-inflammatory role, and produce a substance, mitochondrial translocator protein (TSPO), whose presence can be used as a marker of regional inflammation. GE180 is a newly developed PET ligand which binds to TSPO and hence can be used in imaging studies to analyze regional inflammation in living patients. In prior studies it has shown regional specificity in multiple sclerosis and brain injury. In the current study, the investigators will be using GE180 to analyze regional and global inflammation in the brains of patients with AD and PD at a single time point. The results of the current study will provide enriched understanding of inflammation in these conditions, and potentially provide preliminary data to inform design of future interventional trials.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. At least 230 pediatric subjects (ages 6 through 17 years) will be randomized 2:1 to receive either apremilast or placebo for the first 16 weeks and then all subjects will receive apremilast during the 36 week Extension Phase for a total of 52 weeks. Randomization to apremilast arm or placebo arm will be stratified by age group (6 to 11 years or 12 to 17 years). Subjects will receive apremilast treatment of either 20 mg twice daily (BID) or 30 mg BID, depending on weight. This Phase 3 study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apremilast in the treatment of pediatric subjects.
Anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is a rare autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nerves that presents with weakness, gait imbalance, and loss of sensation. It almost always occurs in the setting of excess protein buildup in the body in the form of immunoglobulin monoclonal (IgM) gammopathy. Anti-MAG neuropathy currently has no established therapies. It is diagnosed through blood tests (anti-MAG and IgM), nerve conduction studies (which showed marked velocity slowing), and clinical exam findings.The efficacy of lenalidomide has been demonstrated in anti-MAG peripheral neuropathy with two separate dosing regimens: 25mg on days 1-21 of each 28 day cycle in conjunction with oral dexamethasone 20mg/day on days 1-4 of each cycle as well as at 5mg on days 1-21 of each cycle without oral dexamethasone. This phase 1 study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Lenalidomide in patients with anti-MAG neuropathy. We will explore preliminary efficacy and postulate that this drug is effective in this subset of patients, using preselected, specifically tailored outcome measures that encompass quality of life, neurologic function, serum protein levels, and focused measures of proprioception.
To measure the effect of the DryMouth Shield on snoring.
The purpose of the present study is to determine whether treatment of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus with a combined therapy of intravenous Ibuprofen and oral acetaminophen has higher success rate in closing the ductus arteriosus than a standard treatment strategy of using intravenous ibuprofen alone among preterm infants.
While e-cigs are commonly represented as safer alternatives to tobacco cigarettes, little is known regarding the health effects of their short- or long-term use. The responses and the e-cig components exerting these effects on the airways are largely unknown. This study will identify if specific e-cig flavors modify respiratory immune responses. This study will determine the effects of cinnamaldehyde (CA)-containing e-cigarettes on airway epithelial cell ciliary function (i.e., MCC) in humans. Additionally the study will determine the effects of CA-containing e-cigarettes on airway immune cells obtained through induced sputum (SI) after inhalation of CA-containing e-cig aerosols to determine CA-induced effects on a) immune cell function (e.g., phagocytosis, respiratory burst), b) immune cell surface phenotype, and c) mediator production in humans in vivo.
Study the effects of different exercise modes on total and regional adiposity variation in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (VAT and SAT). The investigators hypothesize that total abdominal will improve for all the exercise groups compared to the control group. When comparing intervention groups: 1) no differences on the degree of improvement in total abdominal fat depots (VAT and SAT) 2) different degree of change when comparing specific sections at VAT and SAT are expected.
