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 research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an antibiotic called fidaxomicin in preventing C. difficile infection.
In erythropoietic protoporphyria there is an accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in the plasma and liver. The reason it builds up is either the last step to make heme, insertion of iron into protoporphyrin IX, is rate limiting or there is an increase in activity in the first step in the heme pathway. It may be possible to decrease the amount of protoporphyrin IX made and see a decrease in symptoms. The first step to make heme is the key step in the pathway and it uses vitamin B6 as a cofactor. If the investigators can limit the amount of vitamin B6 the investigators can possibly reduce the activity of this rate limiting step. With decreased activity of the enzyme it may be possible for the body to utilize all the protoporphyrin IX that is made so that none builds up.
This is a phase II open label fixed dose study in subjects with advanced, metastatic, or refractory endometrial or ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with PI3 kinase pathway activation as demonstrated by PIK3CA gene mutation, PTEN gene mutation, or PTEN null/low protein expression.
The purpose of this study is compare the rates of post-operative delirium between a group of people receiving intravenous (IV) pain control after hip fracture surgery and a group of people receiving a femoral nerve catheter for pain control. Post-operative delirium is confusion that can happen after the deep sleep of anesthesia. AThe hypothesis is that the group receiving the femoral nerve catheter for pain may have a lower incidence of delirium than the group receiveing IV pain medication.
The primary objective of the CUSTOM study is to respond to customer support issues (outside of the US) and to assess the impact of a particular treatment or perturbation relative to an initial control measurement. Sequential subject measurements will be analyzed to determine if a given action or condition induces a score shift, an inflation of measurement variance or elevated outlier rates.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of NanoDOX Hydrogel versus Placebo Hydrogel on Dehisced Surgical Wounds.
Transplant coronary artery disease (TCAD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric heart transplantation (PHT). Understanding the pathophysiology and early detection along with attempted medical management are crucial in preventing advancement of the disease and retransplantation or mortality. Coronary angiogram, although routinely used is insensitive to detect early TCAD. Measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microvascular resistance (IMR) using a doppler pressure and flow intracoronary wire may be more sensitive in evaluating the integrity of coronary vasculature and thus detect pre clinical TCAD. To the best of the investigators knowledge, measurement of these parameters has not been previously reported in PHT.
This study, a nonrandomized open-label safety and exploratory study, will evaluate the safety of topical norepinephrine in post-surgical breast cancer patients who are undergoing radiation therapy. The study will also provide information about whether topical norepinephrine can prevent or decrease the severity of the radiation dermatitis experienced by these patients.
Episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) is a rare familial neurological condition characterized by debilitating episodes of vertigo and imbalance. Since the serendipitous discovery of dramatic response of EA2 to acetazolamide, acetazolamide has been the first-line treatment for EA2. Yet, for those patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate acetazolamide, there is no alternative treatment. The purpose of this randomized trial is to test whether 4-aminopyridine may reduce the ataxia episodes in EA2 as an alternative to acetazolamide. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
This study has been designed to evaluate the performance of the Chembio Diagnostics Systems, Inc. DPP® Syphilis Screen and Confirm rapid test. The device is intended to qualitatively and simultaneously detect the presence of antibodies to Non-treponemal and Treponema pallidum antigens in whole blood (capillary and venous), serum or plasma.
