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.
Fluorescent technology continues to advance in the detection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Currently, this requires switching from near-infrared light to white light to be able to identify the fluorescent tissue contrasting with normal surrounding tissue. Currently, no system has been studied specifically for head and neck sentinel lymph node biopsies using a hands free goggle system that can visualize white light (normal surgical visualization) and nearinfrared light (ICG fluorescence) simultaneously. This technology may have implications on the safety and accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy for head and neck mucosal and cutaneous tumors. Secondarily, this may reduce operative costs by decreasing the amount of time required to perform the SLNB procedure. Regarding parathyroid identification, this technology has the potential to identify these very small glands during procedures they are at risk. These glands are not only at risk of inadvertent removal if not adequately identified, but may also be at risk if devascularized by manipulation during the surgical procedure. Therefore, early and accurate identification may decrease the rate of temporary and permanent hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia. This is not only an issue during thyroid and parathyroid surgery, but during laryngectomy surgery where the anatomic region these glands are located are often resected to remove at risk lymph nodes from cancer spread. Therefore, identifying these glands may help preserve parathyroid function in this patient population as well.
To use an enhanced continuous glucose monitor (CGM) experience, including an automated CGM-electronic health record (EHR) data integration system, proactive interventions, and gamification techniques, to increase CGM use among publicly-insured youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different doses of OPK-88004 compared to placebo on serum PSA compared to placebo in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The overall goal of this project is to study the effects of exercise energy expenditure matched vigorous dynamic resistance training and aerobic training on cardiac fat, and its relationship to cardiac function and geometry using cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Edema, commonly called swelling, is a common medical condition, with many causes. Clinicians generally find edema by pressing against a patient's skin, usually on the feet or shins, and observing how much dimpling there is in the skin. Most clinicians estimate the amount on a scale of mild to severe, or perhaps state the amount as 1 to 4. There is little agreement between observers, and it is hard to judge different clinicians' use of these scales. The first part of this experiment will demonstrate this inconsistency. After clinicians are shown a new technique for measuring edema, the second part of the study will show more accurate and consistent measurements. This will help clinicians to measure edema better, and to communicate their findings to other clinicians more effectively.
The main objective of this study is to determine the time interval following the last treatment dose of enoxaparin at which the amount of anti-Xa level activity is reliably less than 0.2 international unit per milliliter (IU/mL) in patients presenting for elective surgery.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of OMP-336B11. OMP-336B11 is an engineered human protein that was designed to bind to the GITR receptor on T cells and activate the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells.
This is an open-label, single-dose, Phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous (IV) MK-3866 in participants with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (HI) compared to that of matched healthy participants. The primary purpose of this study is to understand the effect of HI on the plasma PK of MK-3866 in order to guide dosing recommendations for participants with HI. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-3866 in participants with moderate and severe HI.
The HepQuant SHUNT test, which is provided as a HepQuant SHUNT Liver Diagnostic Kit, is a minimally-invasive test of liver function and physiology which has been designated by the FDA as an investigational drug/device combination product. Enrollment into one of the 3 Gilead Selonsertib clinical trials (GS-US-416-2124, GS-US-384-1943/1944) is required for enrollment into the HepQuant study
This clinical trial is studying the drug Ribociclib (LEE011) in combination with an immunotherapy drug called PDR001 (a therapy that uses the body's own immune system to control cancer) as a possible treatment for metastatic hormone-receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative breast cancer (in combination with fulvestrant) or metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer. The names of the medications involved in this study are: - Ribociclib (LEE011) - PDR001 - Fulvestrant
