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 the study is to examine the role of demographics, pre-existing anxiety, depression, and substance use on caregiver depression anxiety, and substance use following a critical injury to a loved one, evaluate the factors that mediate the effectiveness of traditional psychotherapy using problem solving therapy to reduce depression, anxiety, and substance use and to evaluate the factors that mediate the effectiveness of providing an ICU diary and instruction on that diary to reduce depression, anxiety, and substance use.
This will be a single-arm, multi-center, open-label phase 1 study. The standard 3+3 design will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) from 4 possible dose levels of Eryaspase in combination with mFOLFIRINOX. We hypothesize that the addition of Eryaspase to FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil [5-FU], leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) will be safe and demonstrate preliminary signs of efficacy in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Safety assessments include adverse events, physical examination abnormalities, vital signs, and clinical laboratory tests (including blood chemistry, hematology, and coagulation panel).
This is a Phase I multi-center, open-label, study of DST-2970 to determine the MTD, overall safety/tolerability, PK/pharmacodynamic parameters, and efficacy in prostate cancer patients.The study will include a dose escalation phase followed by a dose expansion phase. Each cohort will consist of a "run-in" period to assess pharmacokinetic trough, as well as C1hour, C2hour, and C3hour levels of standard of care abiraterone acetate, followed by a minimum of an 80-hour washout (treatment delay), then initiation of treatment with DST-2970. The patient population that will be evaluated in this study include patients with castration sensitive or castration resistant prostate cancer who experience a rising PSA, with or without radiographic progression, while taking abiraterone acetate. In this protocol, "initial PSA response to abiraterone" is defined as having a ≥ 30% drop in PSA levels (confirmed by a second PSA level one month later) during the first 6 months of treatment with abiraterone. These patients who subsequently experience a rise in PSA while on abiraterone are considered as having "acquired resistance" to abiraterone in the context of this protocol. Patients not meeting the definition of having an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" are considered as having "primary resistance" to abiraterone in the context of the protocol. In the dose escalation phase, all patients with a rising PSA can be enrolled, whether they had an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" or never responded to abiraterone. Two expansion cohorts will be opened. One expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" within the first 6 months of treatment as defined above, but subsequently progressed by PSA with or without radiographic progression. A second expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did not achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" as defined above but have PSA progression with or without radiographic progression. The rationale of the study is to determine if the better bioavailability of DST-2970 will overcome resistance to abiraterone acetate experienced in these two clinical settings. In all cohorts, treatment will continue until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, investigator and/or sponsor decision, intercurrent illness or patient withdrawal of consent. Patients will be monitored regularly with physical examination and laboratory tests.
Persons with COPD have both chronic musculoskeletal pain and dyspnea that require accurate diagnosis and treatment, ultimately to optimize functional status. The investigators propose to use advanced neuroimaging techniques to understand central mechanisms of chronic pain, dyspnea, and physical activity promotion in COPD. The investigators' novel proposal to correlate subjective symptoms (chronic pain and dyspnea) with an objective central biomarker (resting state functional connectivity) and examine their changes in response to a non-pharmacological, non-addictive physical activity intervention will personalize the care of Veterans with COPD.
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation, and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of SRK-181 administered alone and in combination with anti-PD-(L)1 therapy in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study is divided into 3 treatment parts (Part A1, Part A2, and Part B) and a Long-Term Extension Phase (LTEP).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if the implementation of a multimedia based educational tool and regular reminders with shared decision-making will increase the rate of LARC uptake and retention in high risk pregnancy patients within 12 weeks of delivery and to study the rates of retention of LARC at 12 and 24 months and short-interval pregnancy rates.
This study aims to determine the most effective dose of light therapy to improve sleep in people with Parkinson's Disease. Four groups of participants will receive bright-white or dim-red light therapy at different times throughout the day.
Same day initiation of the etonogestrel (ENG) implant and oral ulipristal acetate (UPA) would overcome contraceptive access barriers to women with recent unprotected intercourse to ongoing contraception. Current clinical guidelines recommend delaying implant initiation for at least 1 week following UPA, as well as waiting 7 days before relying on the implant for contraception after initiation alone. This pilot will assess the effects of the implant alone and the implant inserted with same-day as UPA usage on ovarian activity. A total of 40 women desiring the implant, who are not at risk for pregnancy during the study timeline, will be recruited. Participants will be randomized to implant alone or same-day implant + oral UPA. Participants will have daily ultrasounds and blood draws to assess timing of ovulation for 1 week and then an exit visit at 14 days after randomization. The primary outcome is the incidence of ovulation in the 2 randomized treatment groups. Participants may continue the implant after the study per FDA guidelines and rely on it for contraception after the study is completed.
The purpose of this study is to measure the gaze movements of individuals as they watch videos of a baseball pitcher throwing pitches. The goal will be to determine whether there is an anticipatory movement to the location where the ball is released, and whether this anticipatory movement occurs in experienced baseball players more commonly than in inexperienced players.
This study is designed to evaluate the initial safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, niraparib, given to patients who have recently received platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. The study enrolls participants with history of advanced prostate cancer that is growing despite standard hormonal therapies, such as androgen-deprivation therapy.
