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 purpose of this study is to compare pain control during vulvar biopsy following either (1) application of EMLA (a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) cream or (2) injection of 1% lidocaine. We hypothesize that lidocaine will provide better biopsy analgesia, but the benefit will be offset by the pain of lidocaine injection compared to EMLA application, thus there will not be a significant difference in highest pain scores between the two groups.
This is a single-center, prospective, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial exploring cellular therapy to facilitate immunosuppression withdrawal in liver transplant recipients.
This study is a prospective, unmasked randomized clinical trial comparing the use of insulin vs combination insulin and metformin for treatment in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The investigator's hypothesis is that the combination of metformin and insulin will be superior to insulin alone to achieve tight glucose control during pregnancy.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of UTTR1147A in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD), enrolling up to 320 participants from the parent studies: Phase Ib Study GA29469 (NCT02749630) and Phase II Study GA39925 (NCT03558152).
The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of fevipiprant (QAW039) delivered as a chewable tablet (CT) in pediatric asthma subjects aged 6 to < 12 years with asthma. The results of this study will support the identification of a fevipiprant dose for subsequent pediatric efficacy studies aiming to provide an exposure similar to that of the to-be marketed adult/adolescent dose. In addition, the first data on safety and tolerability of fevipiprant in this age group was obtained.
This phase II trial studies how well antiandrogen therapy, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone with or without neutron radiation therapy work in treating patients with prostate cancer. Hormone therapy such as antiandrogen therapy may fight prostate cancer by blocking the production and interfering with the action of hormones. Abiraterone acetate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Neutron radiation therapy uses high energy neutrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known whether antiandrogen therapy, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone with or without neutron radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
In this patented project, U.S. Patent No. 10,839,707, the investigators will develop an augmented reality exposure therapy method for arachnophobia, and fear of snakes, to test in the clinic. The platform will include a software that allows the clinician (psychiatrist/therapist) to position virtual objects in the real environment of the patient with the above mentioned phobias while the patient is wearing the augmented reality (AR) device. Then the clinician will lead the patient through steps of exposure therapy to the fear objects. The investigators will then measure the impact of treatment and compare to before treatment measures of fear of the phobic object. Exposure therapy is the most evidence-based treatment for specific phobias, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The core principle is patient's exposure to the feared objects/situations guided by a clinician. For example, in arachnophobia, patient is exposed to pictures of spiders printed or on a computer screen- or if available, view of a real tarantula in the office. Gradually, patient tolerates viewing/approaching the spider from a closer distance, and fear response extinguishes. The clinician has a crucial role in signaling safety to the patient, as well as providing support and coaching. This treatment is limited by multiple factors: 1) limited access to feared objects/situations in the clinic, 2) even when feared objects are available, they are not diverse (e.g. different types and colors of spiders), which limits generalization of safety learning, 3) when available, clinician has very limited control over behaviors of the feared objects (e.g. spider/snake), 4) safety learning is limited to the clinic office context, and contextualization of safety learning to real life experiences is left to the patient to do alone, which often does not happen. This is specifically important in conditions such as PTSD, where there is cumulative evidence for impaired contextualization as a key neurobiological underpinning. 5) Lack of geographical access to experts in exposure therapy, especially for PTSD, in rural areas.
Determine the overall response rate (ORR) of bemcentinib plus chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine) in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies arm circumference measurement with or without bioimpedance spectroscopy in finding extra lymph node fluid build up in the arm (lymphedema) early in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing lymph node dissection or sentinel node biopsy. Diagnostic procedures, such as bioimpedance spectroscopy, may allow doctors to find and diagnose lymphedema earlier than arm circumference measurement alone.
Prolonged alcohol use results in drinking despite resultant problems and adverse consequences. The investigators propose to test a laboratory model of human seeking despite aversion to use as an early marker of disease onset, and as a tool for study of its neural functional substrates, and identification of effective treatments.
