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 study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of epacadostat when given in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab, and in combination with nivolumab and lirilumab, in participant with advanced or metastatic malignancies.
The purpose of the study is to compare two ways (nasogastric tube (NGT) and nasoduodenal tube (NDT)) to provide nutrition to infants admitted to the hospital for viral bronchiolitis and who require high flow nasal cannula therapy.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is strongly recommended for patients with coronary heart disease. However, patient enrollment and completion of cardiac rehabilitation is low. This study will examine if a mobile phone intervention that uses a text messaging program can successfully promote participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
This trial was a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study of the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of a single dose of betrixaban in pediatric participants at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Despite improved glycemic and systemic control for many patients with diabetes, over the past several decades, diabetic retinopathy (DR) develops and progresses in a large proportion of patients, and visual loss from diabetic eye complications continues to be a leading cause of blindness in the US and other developed countries worldwide. Thus, even a modest ability to prevent DR onset or to slow DR worsening might substantially reduce the number of patients at risk for diabetes-related vision loss worldwide. Widespread use of an oral agent effective at reducing worsening of DR might also decrease the numbers of patients who undergo treatment for DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) and who are consequently at risk for side effects that adversely affect visual function. Two major studies of fenofibrate, the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) and The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD)-eye study, have demonstrated clinically important reduction in progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes assigned to fibrate compared with placebo. However, despite the positive clinical trial results, fenofibrate has not gained wide acceptance as a preventive agent by either ophthalmologists or primary diabetes care providers. Thus, it is important to provide further evidence demonstrating whether or not selectively increasing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) activity reduces progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy at baseline. Pemafibrate is a more potent and selective PPARα modulator than fenofibrate. Its efficacy is currently being evaluated in the Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular OutcoMes by Reducing Triglycerides IN patiENts With diabeTes (PROMINENT) study for prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the large study cohort with a substantial proportion likely to have DR and the multi-year duration of the PROMINENT trial, this study represents a unique opportunity to assess effects of chronic PPARα activation through pemafibrate therapy on DR outcomes. Primary Study Objective: To assess whether treatment with pemafibrate (0.2 mg orally BID) compared with placebo reduces the hazard rate of diabetic retinopathy worsening in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy without neovascularization in at least one eye who are participating in the parent PROMINENT trial.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of adavosertib when given together with external beam radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer. Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. External beam radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving adavosertib, external beam radiation therapy, and cisplatin may work better in treating patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer.
This is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of omega-3 fatty acid versus placebo on blood biomarkers of brain injury, inflammation and neurogenesis.
Nemiralisib is being developed as an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of inflammatory airways disease. This study is designed to assess the dose response, efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of nemiralisib across a range of doses [up to 750 micrograms (µg)] compared with placebo. The study consists of a Screening Period, a 12-Week Treatment Period and a 12-Week Post-Treatment Follow-Up Period. Approximately 1,250 subjects with an acute moderate or severe exacerbation of COPD requiring standard of care (SoC) therapy will be randomized in this double-blind study. Subjects will be randomized to receive different doses of nemiralisib or placebo via ELLIPTA® inhaler. The total duration of study participation is approximately 6 months (170 days). ELLIPTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
This will be a double blinded randomized clinical trial carried out at Zale-Lipshy and Parkland Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities. Acute stroke patients with insomnia, identified by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and who choose to participate in this study will be randomized to CES (Cranial Electrical Stimulation) or sham CES. Patients who do not feel they are getting adequate sleep but want to continue in the study will be given the option to receive the standard of care medication as a rescue starting on the 3rd night. Patients will receive treatment with a Fisher-Wallace CES device or Sham CES. Treatment with CES will be for 20 minutes once a day, and the treatment period will be for 7 days. Patients will be allowed to increase the intensity of the device from the suggested starting point of level 2 if they feel no improvement in sleep on night 1. Groups will be monitored with a wrist worn actigraph that records the patient's activity for the duration of the period of study and provides data on sleep latency, time spent asleep, and sleep efficiency. The outcome measures will be total minutes/hours of sleep, sleep efficiency and subjective reports of drowsiness using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale. Actigraphic data will be collected 24 hours a day for 7 days. The total length of study will be about 24 months with a target N of 100 consented individuals and 85 participants. Patients will be allowed to exit the study at any time on their own choosing. To minimize loss of subjects, patients will have the option to choose SOC rescue starting on the third night. Patients who choose the SOC rescue will continue to be monitored with an actigraph for data collection purposes. The investigator should discontinue study participation for a given subject or withdraw the subject from study if he/she believes that continuation would be detrimental to the subject's well-being. A subject can decide to withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason.
This is a randomized phase II trial that will examine the ability of Avelumab to improve the clinical activity of a pre-operative regimen of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel and hydroxychloroquine in subjects with potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
