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 and aim of this study are to compare changes in pulse volume to non-invasively predict active bleeding or high-risk stigmata in patients undergoing a gastrointestinal endoscopy to assess feasibility of the flow meter clinically.
The purpose of this study is to determine ultrasound scanning techniques of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) that provide optimal diagnostic imaging features.
This study will examine the efficacy of combined nebulized hypertonic saline with chest percussion therapy in patients age 0 to 24 months admitted to the general inpatient pediatrics unit with acute bronchiolitis. 3% nebulized hypertonic saline treatments combined with 3 minutes of chest percussion therapy will be administered every 6 hours of patients selected for the study.
The main purpose of this study is to see how much of orforglipron (study drug) gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given as capsules compared to tablets in healthy overweight and obese participants. The safety and tolerability (side effects) of orforglipron when given as capsules and tablets will also be evaluated. The study will be conducted in two parts, with part A and B lasting up to approximately 25 and 22 weeks each, including the screening period.
This phase II trial tests how well vemurafenib and cobimetinib work in treating patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy. Vemurafenib and cobimetinib are used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called BRAF. They are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving vemurafenib and cobimetinib may work better to treat patients with high risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma with BRAFV600E mutation, in preparation for radioactive iodine therapy.
Craving is the strong desire for something, such as for substances in drug addiction and food or other activities in everyday life. Recent work suggests craving can influence how people make decisions and assign value to choice options available to them, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these interactions between craving and valuation remain unknown. To address this, this study uses cognitive decision-making tasks that measure how much individuals will pay (from a study endowment) to have everyday consumer items or snack foods when they crave something specific (opioids or a specific snack, respectively). First, the study will identify the neural mechanisms for how drug craving (craving for opioids) interacts with valuation for consumer items that have associations with drug use or not in people receiving treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). This will be evaluated in the activity patterns and interactions among brain regions involved in craving and value assignment during decision-making. Then, the study will examine for parallel mechanisms for how food craving (craving for a specific snack) interacts with valuation for snack food items that have similar features to the craved snack or not in people receiving treatment for OUD and non-psychiatric community control participants.
The goal of this clinical trial is to address the high rates of overweight/obesity in Puerto Rican (PR) men. The main question it aims to answer is whether virtual culturally relevant classes supporting physical activity and healthy eating for Puerto Rican men at different levels of acculturation to the US culture, will help these men achieve clinically meaningful weight loss. The purpose of this project is to assess whether a virtual intervention tailored for Puerto Rican men that includes information about healthy eating, physical activity, sedentary behavior is feasible and acceptable compared to a general health (GH) intervention. It is also to determine whether this intervention leads to healthier eating, increased physical activity, less sedentary behavior (low activity), and clinically meaningful weight loss. Hypothesis 1: Test the feasibility (recruitment, retention, adherence, fidelity) and acceptability (treatment components, intervention leaders, telehealth modality, technology and equipment, intervention satisfaction, satisfaction with randomized study, and measures) of a randomized 4-month synchronous telehealth lifestyle intervention led by a community health promoter and behavioral health specialist, who will receive either: TeleSalud HE-PA/SB" or TeleSalud GH in 48 PR men. Hypothesis 2: Demonstrate proof -of-concept by achieving a clinically significant weight reduction of ≥ 5% of baseline weight in the TeleSalud HE-PA/SB intervention after 4 months and at the end of the 4-month maintenance compared to the TeleSalud General Health intervention. Researchers will compare this to a group that will receive information about general health topics - not healthy eating or physical activity. - Participants in both groups will meet via virtually for 4 months (twice per week for 3 months and once per week for 1 month). - Participants will then meet one per month for a maintenance session for the next 4 months.
The purpose of this study in people living with cervical Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is to examine the effects of paired neurostimulation (i.e., PCMS) combined with contralateral motor training on inter-limb transfer of ballistic motor and hand dexterity skills.
The goal of this study is to visualize the deposition of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) compared to vehicle using Line-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in vivo in healthy skin. We hypothesize that the application of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) will result in distinct patterns of deposition within the epidermal and dermal layers compared to the vehicle. Specifically, we anticipate observing deeper penetration and more uniform distribution of roflumilast within the skin layers, indicative of enhanced efficacy, as visualized by LC-OCT imaging.
The purpose of this study is to better understand pediatric pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), which is the narrowing of blood vessels that connect the lungs to the heart. PVS is a life-threatening disease without a clear cause. The investigators think patients who develop PVS have an increased Wall Shear Stress (WSS) level in the pulmonary veins, which is the force placed on the walls of the veins. This study will determine if WSS can be calculated in the pulmonary veins of infants using Ferumoxytol enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FcMRI). If possible, the investigators aim to use FcMRI to better screen patients at risk of PVS and to help guide therapy in patients with PVS.
