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.
A randomized trial comparing small versus large catheters in terms of occlusion and need for replacement to confirm differential occlusion risk based on catheter size. This study will be done to determine whether external ventricular drain catheter diameter has any effect on risk of occlusion.
The purpose of this protocol is to examine whether mifepristone, a medication with glucocorticoid receptor antagonist activity, may be a potential treatment for Tobacco Use Disorder (TUD). Mifepristone has already shown promise as a potential treatment for PTSD (1) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) (2), but no previous studies have examined the therapeutic potential of mifepristone for TUD. This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the effects of a 7-day treatment with 600 mg mifepristone, or placebo, on cognitive function, tobacco withdrawal severity, and smoking behavior.
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) before kidney transplantation require that obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is excluded, as cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in kidney transplant patients. However, in this patient population, the optimal method for the detection of obstructive CAD has not been identified. Noninvasive stress tests such as Dobutamine stress echocardiography or nuclear perfusion study have low diagnostic accuracy. CT fractional flow reserve measurement (CT FFR) is a novel non-invasive (FDA approved) imaging test to identify obstructive CAD. The goal of this project is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CT FFR in the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with chronic kidney disease before kidney transplantation.
The primary objectives of this study are: - To confirm the safety and tolerability of magrolimab monotherapy in a relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) population, and of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine in previously untreated participants with AML or MDS and participants with R/R AML and MDS - To evaluate the efficacy of magrolimab monotherapy in R/R AML/MDS, and of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine in previously untreated participants with AML/MDS, or R/R AML/MDS as measured by complete remission (CR) rate for participants with AML and higher-risk MDS, and duration of complete response for participants with AML and higher-risk MDS, and duration of CR for participants with AML and higher-risk MDS - To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of magrolimab monotherapy or combination with azacitidine in low-risk MDS participants as measured by red blood cell (RBC) transfusion independence rate
Study Design A prospective observational, cross-sectional epidemiological study in U.S. site-based clinical practice settings. 30 sites will enroll approximately 300 patients Participating patients - or their caregiver in the case of patients under the age of 18 - will be consented to participate. Physicians complete a retrospective chart review on each enrolled patient. Patients will complete a one-time study questionnaire.
This investigation will be conducted in subjects >18 years of age with PAD. Platelet activation and aggregation, and biomarkers associated with platelet activation, oxidative stress, and inflammation will be assessed prior to initiation of study-HD statin therapy (baseline), after 8 weeks of high-dose statins and 24 hours and 8 weeks after high dose statin + evolocumab therapy
Chronic neck and back pain has become one of the leading causes of disability and loss of productivity. For many patients with facet or sacroiliac joint mediated pain who have responded to diagnostic nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation of the nerves innervating the joints can provide long term relief. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a relatively safe procedure with minimal risk of adverse events. However, with any procedure involving damage to the peripheral nervous system, there is risk of post-procedure neuropathic pain. The investigators will test the hypothesis that dexamethasone injection delivered at the time of lesion effectively prevents the development of post-ablation neuritis through a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial in patients undergoing cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacroiliac joint radiofrequency denervations
This study will evaluate if the timing of oxytocin administration in cesarean deliveries will affect the amount of maternal blood loss. Half of participants will receive oxytocin after delivery of the fetal anterior shoulder and the other half will receive oxytocin after delivery of the placenta. We hypothesize that administering oxytocin after delivery of the shoulder, will result in less overall maternal blood loss.
Objective: To determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) to Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) Safety: To characterize the safety of Imprime PGG + pembrolizumab given in combination Hypothesis: Restore (for subjects who have failed pembrolizumab mono therapy) or enhance (for subjects who actively experiencing SD) sensitivity to checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) by appropriate and effective stimulation of the subject's innate and adaptive immune systems by combining Imprime PGG with pembrolizumab. The study will require documenting at least 5 objective responses among the 38 subjects enrolled who have failed prior pembrolizumab monotherapy and at least 17 objective responses among the 49 subjects enrolled who are actively experiencing stable disease following at least 4 cycles (but no more than 8 cycles) of pembrolizumab monotherapy.
SM04690-DDD-01 is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study. SM04690 Injectable Suspension will be administered via a single intradiscal injection to subjects with degenerative disc disease (DDD) under fluoroscopic guidance. Groups of 6 subjects will be enrolled in successive cohorts. Subjects will participate in a 6 month follow-up period. Clinic visits will be Screening, Treatment Visit Day 1, and Follow-up Visit Days 2, 15, 28, 60, 90, 135, and 180.
