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.
This study will examine whether continuous glucose monitoring in patients hospitalized in the immediate postpartum period is more effective than traditional point of care glucose testing in identifying patients with hypoglycemia.
PEACH2 is a community-based study, targeting individuals affected by diabetes. Study participants will be randomized into the PEACH2 Intervention Arm or the Control Arm. The intervention lasts for 16 weeks and participants will be followed for 12 months in total.
The Lucira COVID-19& Flu Test is a single use (disposable) RT-LAMP test kit intended for the simultaneous rapid in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B viral RNA in anterior nasal swab specimens. The test consists of a nasal swab, a sample vial the nasal swab sample is placed in the sample vial, containing the sample buffer, and the test unit, which detects whether SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B virus is present within the specimen during an acute infection. The Lucira test uses a proprietary, molecular based process to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, or Influenza B virus. The purpose of this study is to investigate the Lucira COVID-19 & Flu Test for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of RNA from SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B in nasal swab specimens from patients suspected of COVID-19 or Influenza A or Influenza B. The primary objective is to test at least 1000 self-collected nasal swab samples and to confirm the Lucira COVID-19 & Flu Test provides similar accuracy to a high complexity lab molecular diagnostic RT-PCR assay(s) with known high sensitivity for detecting SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B virus.
Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain in women which has been historically under-studied and under-diagnosed. The goal of this research is to pilot-test the feasibility and acceptability of a manualized, single-session brief mindfulness-based intervention (BMBI) among participants with endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain (ECPP) who undergo surgical treatment, and gather preliminary data necessary for future studies assessing BMBI's impact on outcomes in surgically-treated ECPP. This pilot study will enroll 10-20 adult participants with ECPP to receive either a BMBI adjunctive to treatment as usual (TAU; n=5-10) or education with TAU (n=5-10) prior to their ECPP surgery. The central hypothesis is the BMBI is feasible to deliver pre-operatively, acceptable to patients, and may help improve acute post-surgical outcomes through more adaptive stress coping and pain processing, enabled by mindfulness training.
Open-loop electrical stimulation has been found to reduce spike activity and seizures, but determining the optimal parameters to achieve these effects requires a brute force trial-and-error approach that relies on subjective physician discretion. We will compare the performance of stimulation parameters identified in rodent models to the recommended parameters for neuromodulation used in clinical practice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to increase shared decision-making between dialysis providers and patients in order to increase patients' probability of transplantation and to reduce socioeconomic/racial disparities in access to kidney transplantation. Participants will receive educational material over the course of 4-6 months about different aspects of the kidney transplant and waitlisting process.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study is to determine the efficacy of frexalimab in delaying the disability progression and the safety up to approximately 51 months administration of study intervention compared to placebo in male and female participants with nrSPMS (aged 18 to 60 years at the time of enrollment). People diagnosed with nrSPMS are eligible for enrollment as long as they meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Study details include: - This event-driven study will have variable duration ranging from approximately 27 to 51 months. - The study intervention duration will vary ranging from approximately 27 to 51 months. - The number of scheduled visits will be up to 27 (including 3 follow-up visits) with a visit frequency of every month for the first 6 months and then every 3 months.
The purpose of each study is to independently measure the annualized relapse rate (ARR) with administration of frexalimab compared to a daily oral dose of teriflunomide in male and female participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (aged 18 to 55 years at the time of enrollment). People diagnosed with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis are eligible for enrollment as long as they meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Study details include: - This event-driven study will have variable duration of approximately 40 months for the first participant being randomized and approximately 20 months for the last participant randomized. - The study intervention duration will vary ranging from approximately 20 to 40 months. - The assessment of scheduled visits will include 1 common end of study [EOS] visit and 3 follow-up visits) with a visit frequency of every 4 weeks for the first 6 months and then every 3 months.
This research study is called 'PRenatal and Obstetric Maternal Exposures and ISlet Autoantibodies in Early Life: The PROMISE Study'. The purpose of this study is to find out more about how exposures during pregnancy, such as having an infection, diet and growth may impact later risk of type 1 diabetes (TID) and islet autoimmunity in the child. We are also interested in finding out more about why having a father or sibling with T1D increases risk of autoimmunity in the child more than having a mother with T1D. We are enrolling women who are pregnant and either have T1D or another first degree relative (father or full sibling) of the baby has T1D. The biological father is also invited to enroll in study, as it is important to understand how the father's health and genetics may contribute to the child's risk of developing T1D. The study procedures for the mother, father and baby are explained below. Mother: Pregnant women will be asked to complete a visit once per trimester (3 visits) during pregnancy and one visit up to 12 weeks after delivery. At each visit, mothers will consent to a blood draw, collection of biological samples and the completion of questionnaires. . Mothers who have T1D will also be asked to download any diabetes device data they have, such as continuous glucose monitor or insulin pump data. Father: The (biological) father will be invited to enroll in a single visit. He will consent to a blood draw and completion of questionnaires. Fathers with T1D will also be asked to download any diabetes device data they have, such as continuous glucose monitor or insulin pump data. Baby: The baby will have blood collected at birth to determine the genetic risk for T1D. Families will consent to the completion of questionnaires about growth, health and diet at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of age and between 5-7 years of age, and to complete blood testing for islet autoantibodies at 24 months and between 5-7 years of age. For those children with a high genetic risk score, we will also collect blood for autoantibody testing at 6, 12, and 18 months of age.
The goal of the proposed research is to design a peer-based community intervention focused on addressing internalized homophobia, internalized racism, HIV stigma, and peer BSMM support to increase PrEP initiation among BSMM in Prince George's County, MD. Participants will attend intervention events focused on stigma reduction and building community among Black queer men. Researchers will compare intervention and control group participants to see if there in a difference in PrEP initiation and adherence.
