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 understand the benefits and safety of the NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair (NOVOSTITCH PRO) system. The meniscus is a tissue in the knee joint. The NOVOSTITCH PRO is used during surgery to fix meniscus tears in the knee. It is unknown whether fixing a meniscus tear is better than the approach of removing the tear. Data will be collected on participants prior to surgery, at surgery, and for 2 years after surgery.
This is a companion study to the "Pragmatic Randomized Trial of Proton vs Photon Therapy for Patients with non-Metastatic Breast Cancer Receiving Comprehensive Nodal Radiation: A Radiotherapy Comparative Effectiveness (RadComp) Consortium Trial" (NCT02603341). The investigators will collect cardiovascular (CV) biomarkers and echocardiograms prior to, during, and for up to 1 year following radiation for a subset of patients enrolled on RadComp and to evaluate the impact of proton vs photon radiation therapy (RT) on CV function and structure.
This research is being done to study the effects of the combination of ipilimumab, nivolumab, and radiation therapy in people with microsatellite stable pancreatic cancer. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Ipilimumab - Nivolumab - Radiation Therapy
The investigators hypothesize that those with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 will have different burdens of mental and physical disability than those with respiratory failure who do not have COVID-19. Detecting these potential differences will lay an important foundation for treating long term sequelae of respiratory failure in these two cohorts.
Hypothesis: display of predictive analytics monitoring on acute care cardiology wards improves patient outcomes and is cost-effective to the health system. The investigators have developed and validated computational models for predicting key outcomes in adults, and a useful display has been developed, implemented and iteratively optimized. These models estimate risk of imminent patient deterioration using trends in vital signs, labs and cardiorespiratory dynamics derived from readily available continuous bedside monitoring. They are presented on LCD monitors using software called CoMET (Continuous Monitoring of Event Trajectories; AMP3D, Advanced Medical Predictive Devices, Diagnostics, and Displays, Charlottesville, VA) To test the impact on patient outcomes, the investigators propose a 22-month cluster-randomized control trial on the 4th floor of UVa Hospital, a medical-surgical floor for cardiology and cardiovascular surgery patients. Clinicians will receive standard CoMET device training. Three- to five-bed clusters will be randomized to intervention (predictive display plus standard monitoring) or control (standard monitoring alone) for two months at a time. In addition, risk scores for patients in the intervention clusters will be presented daily during rounds to members of the care team of physicians, residents, nurses, and other clinicians. Data on outcomes will be statistically compared between intervention and control clusters.
This is a prospective observational registry of COVID-19 recovered patients who are no longer symptomatic. This Registry is intended to serve as a pool of individuals that can participate in studies associated with serological testing, characterization of immunity and immune response, vaccine development, and convalescent plasma donors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of collecting amniotic fluid at delivery that will be immediately processed and then applied as a spray to the various layers of cesarean wound closure.
Mood disorders are associated with significant financial and health costs for the United States, partially due to cognitive problems in these patients that can worsen disease course and impair treatment response. This study proposes to use smartphone-based technology to monitor cognitive problems in patients with mood disorders by linking brain network changes with predicted worsening of mood symptoms. The proposed study will provide evidence for using smartphone-based passive sensing as a cost-effective way to predict illness course and treatment response.
This purpose of this pilot and feasibility study is to determine whether attending an acute kidney injury (AKI) clinic after discharge from the hospital impacts prescription medicine use, blood pressure and recovery of kidney function as compared to usual care.
This trial studies the impact of a 12-month invention focused on early detection of skin cancer and timely follow up in patients who underwent stem cell transplant and their primary care providers. Some stem cell transplant survivors may develop complications related to the treatment they received. Many of these complications may not be known for years after the treatment and preventive measures can be taken to reduce the chances that a complication will occur and encourage early detection. This study focuses on one complication that stem cell transplant survivors are at high risk of developing - skin cancer. An early diagnosis of skin cancer is important since the cancer is usually smaller, requires less extensive treatments, and has better outcomes. Teaching skin self-examination and encouraging patients to alert doctors to skin changes may provide an important opportunity for early detection of skin cancer.
