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 scientific premise for this study is the known impact of overweight/obesity on breast cancer risk and outcomes, the association between advanced glycation end-products (AGE) and high fat, highly processed foods common in Western diets, and the preclinical evidence suggesting a link between AGE and breast cancer independent of weight. The association between dietary and serum AGE in breast cancer survivors and prognosis has not been previously evaluated. However, preclinical studies suggest that AGE may represent a novel, lifestyle-linked, modifiable, prognostic biomarker, which could be targeted through lifestyle (diet and exercise) and/or pharmaceutical interventions to improve breast cancer prognosis. The proposed study will pave the way for a large scale randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a low AGE diet on weight (BMI), known (IL-6 and CRP) and novel (AGE and RAGE) prognostic biomarkers, and ultimately on breast cancer prognosis.
The purpose of this study is to create a dataset to help accelerate machine learning (ML) based solutions for applications such as activity recognition, detect changes in weight and predict weight of carried load. The research will further help in the development of novel machine learning-based algorithm for accurately predicting the body weight of an individual in real-time and within few ounces error margin, using sampled data from smart insole sensors.
Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is one of the most common interventions in medical practice. Venous dilatation is helpful for successful PIV placement. Several techniques include hot pack application, tourniquet, massaging, and tapping over the vein to increase vein caliber described in the literature. However, none of them has been rigorously studied. Therefore, there is still no 'best practice' on how to effect vein dilation in a standard way. This study aims to investigate the effect of standardized tapping on venous dilatation with a massage device compared to manual non-standardized tapping and define a standard tapping technique using a device. In this study, the investigators also aim to investigate the effect of tourniquet application with and without vein tapping effect on peripheral vein caliber as determined by ultrasound measurement.
To compare the plasma concentration (bioavailability) and safety of a single naloxone 5 mg autoinjector intramuscular (IM) injection to a single 2 mg IM injection (an approved safe dose) and to a single 2 mg bolus intravenous (IV) injection (an approved safe dose)
This study aims to test the effectiveness of an evidence-based eating- disorder prevention program specifically targeted for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) compared to an educational control group. The Diabetes Body Project (DBP), is an adaptation of the Body Project which is the only eating disorder prevention program to have repeatedly produced effects when evaluated by independent researchers, produced stronger effects than credible alternative interventions, and affected objective outcomes. DBP has been adapted slightly for individuals with T1D who are at ultra-high risk for eating disorders. The study aims to test the effectiveness of the DBP of reducing body image concerns and reducing eating pathology and improving glycemic control.
Perineorrhaphy, sometimes referred to as perineoplasty, is a common procedure in pelvic reconstructive surgery that entails surgical repair of the perineum. Indications may include: prevention of recurrent prolapse, treatment of pain, and improved sexual function and cosmesis, as well as to treat the sensation of a "wide vagina." Differences in postoperative pain by suturing technique and standard use of suture type are not well established. Patient satisfaction can be influenced by patient perceptions regarding postoperative pain, therefore reducing postoperative pain scores remains a priority. It is unclear whether suturing technique is associated with less pain after this procedure. Based on studies on repair of obstetric lacerations, we hypothesize that a subcuticular skin closure will be associated with less postoperative perineal pain compared to interrupted transcutaneous sutures.
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
Migraine is a neurological disease characterized by moderate or severe headache, associated with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and sound. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of the combination use of ubrogepant for the acute treatment of migraine headache in participants taking atogepant once daily for preventive treatment of migraine. Ubrogepant is an approved drug for the acute treatment of migraine. Atogepant is an approved drug for the preventive treatment of EM. Approximately 235 adult participants with EM will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites in the United States. Participants will receive oral atogepant tablets once daily (QD) for 12 weeks followed by continued atogepant treatment with ubrogepant tablets taken as needed for the next 12 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The purpose of this clinical study is to validate the SpO2 accuracy of the Stryker Sustainability Solutions pulse oximetry sensors during motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2 as compared to arterial blood samples assessed by CO-Oximetry. The end goal is to provide supporting documentation for the SpO2 accuracy validation of the reprocessed sensors.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the relative bioavailability of PF-07321332/ritonavir oral powder relative to the commercial tablet formulation under fasted condition in healthy adult participants. The study will also assess the effect of 3 different food vehicles on the relative bioavailability of the PF-07321332/ritonavir oral powder formulation as well as the safety, tolerability, and palatability of PF-07321332/ritonavir oral powder in healthy adult participants.
