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.
To validate a new 4D Cone Beam CT (4DCBCT) reconstruction algorithm that was developed in our research group recently in terms of its geometry and intensity accuracy through real patient studies. Dose calculation found out in this study will not be used on the subject
The study is designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety and clinical utility of using an adaptive model to wean oxygen by computer assistance. Investigators hypothesize that weaning oxygen using this model will decrease duration of exposure to hyperoxia, decrease duration of exposure to hypoxia, decrease exposure to increased oxygen requirement, and decrease the number of manual fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) adjustments as compared to manual weaning of oxygen therapy.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, active-controlled, open-label study with a 3-arm parallel design. Healthy 2-month old infants (42 to 98 days of age) with no history of pneumococcal vaccination will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a 4-dose series of: multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine coadministered with Prevnar 13 (Group 1); multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine given 1 month after Prevnar 13 (Group 2); or Prevnar 13 with a single dose of multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Group 3).
This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label, 3-arm trial in the ratio of 1:1:1 to either Sym004 (Arm A) versus each of its component monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), futuximab (Arm B) or modotuximab (Arm C), in genomically-selected patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) and acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) mAb therapy. The study is designed to evaluate the relative antitumor activity of each agent as assessed by imaging studies performed after 8 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of experimental medication NZV930 alone and when combined with PDR001 and/or NIR178, in patients with advanced cancers
Multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, partially blinded trial comparing the safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation versus placebo both delivered by rectal enema in subjects 18 years of age or older with recurrent Clostridium difficile Associated Disease (CDAD). 162 male or female subjects will be enrolled in the study. Enrolled subjects will be randomized at each site to receive either FMT by enema or placebo by enema in a 2:1 ratio. Study duration is 3 years, subject participation duration is approximately 1 year. The primary study objectives are: 1) to evaluate the safety of FMT(s) delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema and 2) to determine efficacy of FMT delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema.
The goal of this study is to investigate long-term modulation of pain pathways leading to a suppression of pain symptoms in Gulf War Illness patients by applying transcranial direct current stimulation.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of insulin and pramlintide is better than insulin alone at helping the pancreas release glucagon in response to a low blood sugar episode. A secondary goal is to assess whether basal pramlintide will delay gastric emptying.
The Effectiveness of the Jamboxx Respiratory Therapy Device in Treatment of Patients with Decreased Respiratory Function is a proposal for investigation of the application of gaming to improving respiratory health. The Jamboxx device (see appendix A for device details) combines gaming with traditional incentive spirometry to provide users with a fun experience to keep them engaged in their respiratory therapy routine. The device allows users to play a series of mini-games that walk them through their routines. The Jamboxx also records airflow and lung parameters with an external mouthpiece attachment to provide users with real time feedback, and helps to assess increases or decreases in relative lung function over time. The Jamboxx has the potential to significantly impact the field of respiratory therapy by being one of the first gaming devices for patient therapy, and the first respiratory therapy gaming device that is accessible to users with limited mobility. Jamboxx provides a fun and engaging, low cost alternative to the traditional therapy techniques used and aims to improve patient compliance. This study addresses postoperative pulmonary atelectasis that results from diaphragm dysfunction and pain following upper abdominal surgery. This issue is a major cause of morbidity in these patients (Ford et al 1983). Incentive spirometry is used in this setting, but there is conflicting data regarding its effectiveness (Rupp et al 2013). Study 3 will focus on the questions regarding the influence of education and a novel use of a gaming device on prevention of atelectasis. Study 3 will include 3 subgroups of subjects. The first subject group will be enrolled in a nonintrusive observation only studies. Group 1 will explore the effect of technology via a tablet device on standard spirometry usage. Group 2 will look at the combined effect of technology via the tablet device and intensive education on compliance and reduction of post-surgical atelectasis. Finally, Group 3 will explore the effect of gaming technology with intensive educational reinforcement on compliance and reduction of post-surgical atelectasis.
This study will use specific diagnostic tests on a group of patients who are experiencing symptoms typical of acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) to determine how many have the condition, and to potentially help improve the diagnostic process for patients in the future.
