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 goal of this clinical trial is to test the usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital dietary self-monitoring (dDSM) log that uses positive reinforcement strategies (caregiver praise and gamification) to improve child engagement in DSM. The main aims are to: - Examine the usability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years and their adult caregivers. - Examine the acceptability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years and their adult caregivers - Conduct a proof-of-concept trial that examines the effects of positive reinforcement on child DSM behaviors. - Explore differences in children's intrinsic motivation. Participating children will be instructed to self-monitor their daily intake of targeted food groups (fruits, vegetables, sweet and salty snack foods, and sugar-sweetened beverages) for 4 weeks using a personal web-based DSM log. Each child-caregiver dyad will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: BASIC, PRAISE, GAME, or PRAISE+GAME. For PRAISE and PRAISE+GAME conditions, caregivers will be instructed to provide daily process praise to their child related to DSM behaviors. For GAME and PRAISE+GAME conditions, logs will integrate three game mechanics: points, levels, and a virtual pet. Points will be accumulated for engaging in DSM behaviors, and accrual of points will evolve a virtual pet over time.
The goal of this project is to provide an improvement in wire performance to expedite crossing difficult lesions in the coronary vasculature.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term safety and clinical outcomes of Livmarli prescribed to patients with Alagille Syndrome (ALGS).
This is an open-label phase 1 safety and feasibility study that will employ multi-tumor antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (TSA-T) directed against proteogenomically determined personalized tumor-specific antigens (TSA) derived from a patient's primary brain tumor tissues. Young patients with embryonal central nervous system (CNS) malignancies typically are unable to receive irradiation due to significant adverse effects and are treated with intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell rescue; however, despite intensive therapy, many of these patients relapse. In this study, individualized TSA-T cells will be generated against proteogenomically determined tumor-specific antigens after standard of care treatment in children less than 5 years of age with embryonal brain tumors. Correlative biological studies will measure clinical anti-tumor, immunological and biomarker effects.
Coaching is a useful tool that uses positivity and goal directed behaviors to increase resiliency and reduce physician burnout. Objectives: Based on the principles of positive psychology, the objectives of the study are to improve early career pediatric surgeon (as defined by years 1-3 out of training) well- being, workplace satisfaction, decrease burnout and improve resiliency of both the coaches and early career pediatric surgeons.
To evaluate patient-reported pain, bleeding, and device efficiency along with provider satisfaction and ease of use between intrauterine procedures employing a suction cervical stabilizer (new device, FDA approved, atraumatic) or single-tooth tenaculum (standard, traumatic). This device, cleared by the FDA in 2023, was studied in Europe and showed pain reduced by up to 73% and bleeding reduced by 78% compared to the single-tooth tenaculum for intrauterine contraceptive device insertion. The investigators seek to study this device in the United States, and trial it among all intrauterine procedures.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the success of hiatal hernia repairs in patients with large (>5cm) or paraesophageal hernias when Ovitex LPR mesh used during the repair.
We propose a randomized pilot/feasibility study comparing oral care treatment as usual (TAU) with Swiftsure SwishKit plus oral care TAU on the presence and magnitude of bacterial load in the oropharyngeal space in orotracheally intubated patients. The trial will be conducted with IRB approval and written consent from patient or its legal representative.
This is a phase 1 single center clinical trial for patients with end stage Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer who have progressed through standard of care treatment options and are on zoledronate for bone metastases. This clinical trial includes a dose-escalation phase and dose-expansion phase to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of treatment with autologous T cells genetically modified to express Prostate stem cell antigen.
The purpose of this study is to understand how a stepped-care model of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (Step-Up PCIT) addresses child behavioral problems among children between the ages of 2 and 7 with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
