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.
Lurasidone HCl is a compound that is a candidate for the treatment of major depressive with mixed features.This clinical study is designed to test how well Lurasidone works to treat major depressive disorder with mixed features.
This study will test whether longer-term suppression of adrenal function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight early pubertal girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that suppression of nighttime adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) production by 12 weeks of evening oral hydrocortisone administration will improve androgen levels in girls with adrenal androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after adrenal stimulation testing with ACTH or ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).
Short term hydrocortisone to test whether improves excess androgen production from adrenal gland and ovaries
This study will test whether short-term suppression of ovarian function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that one dose of depot leuprolide agonist administration will improve androgen levels in girls with ovarian androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).
This study aims to determine the causal relationship between regulating urine pH levels between 7.0 and 7.5 and decreasing chronic joint pain. The investigators hypothesize that maintenance of an alkaline urinary pH will result in a decrease in personally reported levels of chronic joint pain using a citrate treatment regimen.
The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host disease in patients with hemoglobinopathies.
Background: - Paclitaxel and carboplatin are two standard drugs that stop cancer cells from reproducing. ABT-888 is an experimental cancer drug that may prevent cancer cells from "fixing" the damage done by chemotherapy drugs. This may make the chemotherapy work better. More tests are needed to determine the safety and effectiveness of ABT-888 plus chemotherapy. Researchers also want to find the best dose of ABT-888 for people who have kidney or liver problems in addition to cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of ABT-888 plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in people who have both cancer and kidney or liver problems. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment, and who also have kidney or liver problems. - A small group of people with solid tumors and normal kidney and liver function may also receive treatment for study comparison purposes. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, tumor samples, tests of liver and kidney function, and imaging studies. Participants will also provide a hair sample at the start of the study. - Participants will take one dose of ABT-888 1 week before starting chemotherapy. The two chemotherapy drugs will be given on day 3 of a 21-day cycle. Participants will take ABT-888 daily for the first 7 days of each cycle. - They will keep a diary to record medication doses and any side effects. They will also have frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Participants will provide more hair samples on day 3 of cycle 1 before and after having paclitaxel. - Participants will continue treatment for up to 18 weeks as long as the cancer stops growing or shrinks and there are no serious side effects. Participants may have the option to continue treatment after the study is done.
We will study whether the health care costs and health utilities differ in patients with gout and those without gout and whether they differ between those with more severe versus less severe gout
The general hypothesis is that administration of testosterone to healthy, older men for 52 weeks (1 year) following a cycle of 4 weeks of testosterone administration and 4 weeks without testosterone (i.e., monthly cycled regimen) will provide the same gains in muscle strength, muscle mass, and bone density as standard of care (SOC), continuous administration of testosterone for 52 weeks.
In this study, anti-OX40 will be given to patients with melanoma to find out how the immune system responds to treatment with anti-OX40. It is hoped that this treatment will cause an immune response against melanoma resulting in tumor regression, but this is not known at this time. Anti-OX40 is a large protein that can help immune cells that fight bacteria, viruses and cancer cells.
