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.
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmologic emergency which leads to severe and permanent vision loss. There is no evidence-based therapy for CRAO. The objective of this GION study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KUS121 intravitreal (IVT) injection in participants with acute non-arteritic CRAO.
This study is designed to learn more about ways to promote caregiver mastery online. 270 dementia family caregivers will be enrolled and randomized to take the CAN-DO online course immediately or after a waiting period. They will participate in interviews before and after the course; total time of study participation is 6 months.
The goal of this observational study is to utilize a novel imaging system designed for high-resolution retinal imaging of neonates, infants and children to identify the signs of photoreceptor development and degeneration in children with early-onset inherited retinal dystrophies (EORDs). Participants will have research imaging with SS-HH-OCT at the time of clinically-indicated eye examinations or procedures. The investigators aim to establish the basis for utilization of OCT imaging in earlier diagnosis and disease monitoring in children with EORDs. This work will set data reference standards and IRD endpoints that can be used in clinical trials.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administering two doses of lerapolturev in residual disease (within tumor margins) after surgery, followed later by repeated injections of lerapolturev in the subcutaneous area (under the skin) around the lymph nodes of the head and neck for adult patients diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center (PRTBTC) at Duke.
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the transition to home for preterm infants born between 33-36 weeks gestational age and discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) through the use of two interventions, a "NICU Discharge Passport" and "NICU Infant Care Class," for parents. The main question[s] the clinical trial aims to answer are the impact of the above discharge interventions on: - parental readiness for discharge - feasibility of compliance with discharge instructions - number of ER/urgent visits and hospital re-admission rates 1-month post-discharge Participants will include parents/guardians and nurses of eligible preterm infants discharged from the Cohen Children's Medical Center NICU. Baseline data will be collected for a period of 4-6 months for a control group (who will receive current NICU discharge practices), after which two interventions will be implemented for a period of 4-6 months to the intervention groups. Interventions will include: a) NICU Discharge Passport and b) NICU Infant Care Class. Data collection will include pre and post-discharge surveys for parent and nurse participants in charge of discharging the eligible infant participant. Surveys will assess parental readiness for discharge, compliance with discharge instructions, ER/urgent visits post-discharge, hospital re-admission rates post-discharge, and if applicable, obtain feedback on interventions. Researchers will compare responses between control and intervention groups to understand the impact of the interventions on parental discharge preparedness.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PPSV23 in children 2 through 17 years of age. Researchers want to learn if V116 is as good as, or is better than the PPSV23 vaccine in terms of the antibody immune response. V116 and PPSV23 will be studied in children and teenagers who have a higher risk of getting invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).
In this study, personalized nudges to clinicians and patients will be evaluated to help increase breast cancer screening rates in accordance with USPSTF guidelines among women with a primary care visit, with a particular emphasis on those at high risk for non-completion of cancer screening. In partnership with Penn Medicine (Penn) and Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (UH), two complementary, concurrent, 6-month, cluster-randomized, pragmatic trials will be conducted. Those assigned to the intervention arm will receive the following clinician and patient level nudge interventions: clinicians will receive a default pended order for a mammogram in the visit encounter in the EHR (Penn and UH), and patients will receive post-visit text message reminders to encourage them to schedule their mammogram (Penn). Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging (Penn).
The goal of this observational study is to learn about lung structure and function in a group of 1000 healthy people aged 25 to 35. The main questions it aims to answer are whether people's bodies, environment, and general lung health are associated with: - the structure of the participants lungs' airways, - the structure of blood vessels in the participants lungs and heart, and - the participants lungs' ability to exchange gases. Participants will take four different lung function tests to measure lung function, including: - air movement in the lungs (oscillometry) - lung size (slow vital capacity (SVC) and functional residual capacity (FRC) - gas transfer in the lungs (diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO).
The purpose of this extension study is to continue to follow the participants who completed the CLVer RCT for up to 3 additional years. The goal for Cohort A is to evaluate the longer-term effects of verapamil on preservation of β-cell function as measured by C-peptide levels obtained during a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). For both Cohorts A and B, the goal is to determine if the high degree of glycemic control achieved during CLVer with HCL can be maintained once the intensive engagement of the study team is discontinued. At the completion of the RCT, study treatments end. Thus, during the extension study, diabetes management is performed as part of usual care and there is no study treatment.
The goal of this observational study is to test the use of a novel Widefield Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (WiSLO) Optimized for Pediatric and Neonatal Imaging in pediatric and adult subjects who are undergoing clinical evaluation for eye disease or are healthy adult volunteers. The main questions to answer are: - Whether WiSLO will be more comfortable and satisfactory in experience for the patient and operator than commercial alternatives. - If the quality of WiSLO near infrared images will be comparable to color fundus camera imaging across population of different ages and fundus pigmentation. Participants will have the following research procedures: - Imaging of both eyes with a research noncontact WiSLO - Imaging of both eyes with a commercially available non-contact hand held fundus camera (Volk Pictor Plus) - Likert scales for adults - Pediatric Likert scales for children - CRIES scales for infants.
