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 basic experimental clinical trial is to understand the effect of multitasking practice on the structure of neural representations of tasks in the human lateral prefrontal cortex and control brain regions. The main question it aims to answer is: What changes in neural representational structure predict improvements in multitasking behavior due to multitasking practice? Healthy human participants will learn two independent tasks, each mapping a set of stimuli to motor responses based on different rules. Participants will be randomized to one of two interventions. Participants assigned to the multitask practice intervention (MPI) will practice multitasking the two tasks over multiple days. Those assigned to the single-task practice intervention (SPI) will instead practice each task separately while controlling for the total number of practice opportunities associated with each task across the interventions. Both before and after the practice, the ability of all participants to perform both tasks simultaneously will be behaviorally measured using a well-established psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, and their neural representations will be measured using functional MRI while they perform the two tasks. Researchers will then compare improvements in multitasking behavior across the two groups, as well as changes in neural representational geometry of the tasks in the lateral prefrontal cortex and control brain regions, and test whether multitasking training is associated with specific changes in neural representations in the lateral prefrontal cortex.
This is a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camoteskimab in adults with moderate to severe AD.
The goal of this observational study is to develop and validate a molecular heart rejection diagnostic system based on targeted transcriptome as a novel monitoring companion tool for heart allograft precision diagnostics applicable to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded endomyocardial biopsies. The primary outcome will be the biopsy-proven rejection, that will be predicted with molecular classifiers (cellular and antibody-mediated rejection scores).
To compare the screening capabilities of the BlueDop Vascular Expert (BVE) and ankle brachial index (ABI) in peripheral arterial disease for all-comer patients and those with diagnosed diabetes mellitus.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a telehealth-based personalized physical activity intervention in adult patients diagnosed with Stage I-III rectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer are how to better understand the experiences of rectal cancer survivors who are coping with bowel dysfunction and how physical activity can improve their quality of life. Participants will be asked to: 1. Complete surveys to assess bowel function and quality of life 2. Participate in 12 Telehealth Sessions (one session a week) to discuss and review bowel dysfunction 3. Perform daily physical activity
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of an intramuscular injection of SAB-176 intended for use as a pre/post prophylactic for influenza. This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which a total of 28 subjects will receive an injection of either SAB-176 or placebo (normal saline). The investigational product will be administered intramuscularly (IM) on Day 1. Four dose escalation cohorts of 7 subjects (5 active and 2 placebo) each are planned. Subjects will be randomized to receive either SAB-176 or placebo in a double-blinded manner. Progression to subsequent dose-escalating cohorts will be dependent on safety measured through Day 5 after dosing of the previous cohort. Blood specimens will be collected at prescribed intervals to examine pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity. Safety will be actively monitored during investigational product administration and for 60 days following dosing. The decision to advance to the next cohort will be based solely on the safety assessment through Day 5. All safety data will be summarized and reviewed by the PI, the Sponsor's Clinical Monitor, and the Research Monitor prior to next cohort dose-escalation.
The primary purpose of this trial is to determine the mass balance, routes, and rates of elimination of total radioactivity and characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of darigabat, and total radioactivity in plasma and whole blood following administration of a single oral dose of [14C]-darigabat in healthy adult male participants.
Prostate cancer is a significant concern for Latiné men, with over 17,000 new cases annually. Decision-making for treatment is complex, especially due to barriers like low health literacy and cultural factors. Research on survivorship and post-treatment issues like erectile dysfunction is lacking. To improve care, a study will engage 288 participants across various medical facilities, including 100 at Cleveland Clinic. Thirty subjects will participate in focus groups representing Spanish-speaking Latiné, bilingual Latiné, and English-speaking non-Latiné individuals to understand their perspectives and enhance communication. This aims to develop tailored resources, like Spanish-language educational videos, addressing language and cultural needs for informed decision-making.
The investigators will evaluate a computer-animated character that explains medical illustrations to people, comparing the character to having people understand the illustrations on their own, and also comparing the computer character on a computer display to one in immersive virtual reality. The investigators will determine which method leads to the best understanding and lowest anxiety.
The goal of this study is to understand what people understand from medical illustrations, and what meaning and emotions (such as anxiety) they derive from different design elements.
