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.
Hand and feet lacerations are common in children with repair often requiring conscious sedation and needle sticks for repair. Growing evidence in adults reveal that many of these small lacerations do quite well cosmetically without intervention. This randomized controlled trial will evaluated the cosmetic outcome at 4 months in two groups of children with hand or feet lacerations <2 cm comparing suturing vs conservative wound management.
In this study, Investigators will conduct a prospective cohort study of dialysis patients by collecting research-quality information on patient characteristics, comorbid diseases and laboratory markers used in routine practice, as well as novel biochemical markers and genetic data. Investigators will utilize data from the cohort to test the independent relationship between biochemical and genetic markers and Fabry disease and other rare diseases.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact and safety of itacitinib in combination with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based interventions for the prophylaxis of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD).
A widely used semi-quantitative parameter to assess tumor status is the standardized uptake value (SUV). SUV estimation accuracy can be impacted by many variables. Today there still exists a significant amount of variability in PET/CT results in test and re-test studies. This variability can be introduced by instrumentation and subject-specific factors. Variability reduces image quality and increases the required changes in tumor quantification to reflect real tumor response or progression. PET/CT scanning process requires that the entire net injected dose of radiolabeled tracer is administered intravenously as a bolus. The quality and quantification of a PET/CT image is highly dependent on the uptake of radiolabeled tracer. Boellaard et al. have indicated infiltrations could potentially underestimate SUV measurements by as much as 50%. Infiltrations and obstructions are not uncommon. Recent studies using a novel QA/QC tool (LaraTM System) for the radiotracer injection process revealed that current means to detect infiltration do not completely identify all infiltrations/obstructions. Since infiltrations may not be visible in the standard field of view (FOV) and since the impact of a peripheral circulatory obstruction may not be visible even if an injection site is in the FOV, it is possible for reading and treating physicians to be unaware that a patient's image and quantification has been impacted. Additionally, when current means do detect an infiltration, they under-represent the severity because they are not capturing that infiltrations often resolve during the uptake period. As a result, infiltrations or obstructions may cause SUV inaccuracy and could adversely impact staging and tumor assessments. The purpose of this study will be to characterize the impact of moderate or greater infiltrations on standardized uptake values. Patients experiencing a moderate or greater infiltration on a routine clinical PET scan will be invited to return for a repeat scan with injection performed by specially trained personnel to reduce the risk of repeat infiltration. The two scans will be compared to assess for changes in tumor uptake intensity.
This is an 8-week observational follow-up study of patients who participated in the ST-001 CALISTA study (A Phase 3, Intravenous Sodium Thiosulfate for Acute Calciphylaxis Treatment: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial).
The two primary study objectives involve examining the effects of treadmill walking exercise training versus stretching-and-toning activities on the primary and secondary outcomes. Specific Aim 1: The first specific aim is to examine the effects of 3-months of treadmill walking exercise training compared with an active control condition on learning and memory outcomes in fully-ambulatory persons with MS who have impairment in learning new information. We hypothesize that those who undergo treadmill walking exercise training will demonstrate improvements in learning and memory relative to those who undergo stretching-and-toning activities. Specific Aim 2: The second specific aim is to examine the effects of 3-months of treadmill walking exercise training compared with an active control condition on hippocampal volume, hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity, and cardiorespiratory fitness in those persons with MS. We hypothesize that those who are randomly assigned to the treadmill walking exercise condition will demonstrate increases in hippocampal volume and resting-state functional connectivity (i.e., adaptive increases) and improved cardiorespiratory fitness relative to those in the stretching-and-toning condition.
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of activity pevonedistat taken alone, and also to test the safety of pevonedistat in combination with standard chemotherapy, pemetrexed/cisplatin.
Participants to be enrolled in this study will have been scheduled to have laparoscopic genitourinary surgery and EPAD monitoring as part of their clinical care intraoperatively. Patients scheduled for genitourinary surgery are often at risk for developing nerve injuries due to intraoperative positioning. Somatosensory evoked potential devices (SSEP) are commonly used to detect pending injury to peripheral nerves. The purpose of the present study is to use SSEP monitoring to determine the incidence and potential causes of significant changes in SSEP waveforms and correlate these changes with neurologic status of the brachial plexus after robotic surgery.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety/tolerability of poziotinib in seven participant cohorts for up to 603 previously treated and treatment-naïve NSCLC participant. Cohorts 3 and 4 were added with Amendment 1 and three additional cohorts were added with Amendment 2 (Cohorts 5, 6 and 7).
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of KITE-585, an autologous engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell product targeting a protein commonly found on myeloma cells called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), as measured by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Participants will be given a 3 day course of conditioning chemotherapy followed by a single infusion of KITE-585.
