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.
Latinos in the U.S. experience significant disparities in access to mental health services due to lack of health insurance, language barriers, low availability of bilingual providers, mental health stigma, and fear of deportation. There is an urgent need to identify low-cost, culturally appropriate interventions to reduce mental health disparities among this population. This project will address that need by implementing and testing CRISOL Mente, a multi-level, culturally-congruent community intervention to improve the mental health of the Latino population in Philadelphia.
This phase 1b study investigates the safety and feasibility of combining pre-operative radiation therapy with Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4/6) inhibitors in participants with hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer. The study aims to assess the benefits of concurrent use of these treatments in a specific participant population, focusing on their safety and tolerability. The hypothesis is that the combination therapy will be well-tolerated, providing valuable insights into its effectiveness for future clinical applications.
This study will be an observational registry to investigate the ability of magnetocardiography (MCG) in determining the presence of myocardial ischemia with the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, by using an invasive reference standard coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured using thermodilution for diagnosis. The device is a magnetocardiography (MCG) scanner named CardioFlux, which is paired with cloud processing software. A CardioFlux scan appointment shall last approximately 15 minutes in duration and include a patient questionnaire following the scan.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and comparative bioavailability of repeated administration of GSBR-1290 in healthy overweight/obese participants.
Investigators aim to examine the role of audiovisual inputs during treatment with ketamine/esketamine in affecting tolerability and effectiveness of treatment of depressive episodes, by providing patients with a relaxing environment using virtual reality goggles and noise cancelling headphones, and assessing whether these tools can improve the tolerability and effectiveness of treatment with ketamine/esketamine
The overall goal of this project is to model human joint biomechanics over continuously-varying locomotion to enable adaptive control of powered above-knee prostheses. The central hypothesis of this project is that variable joint impedance can be parameterized by a continuous model based on measurable quantities called phase and task variables. This project will use machine learning to identify variable impedance functions from able-bodied data including joint perturbation responses across the phase/task space to bias the solution toward biological values.
Over the last decade, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Due to the challenging nature of visualizing lesion formation in real time and ensuring an effective transmural lesion, different surrogate measures of lesion quality have been used. The Ablation Index (AI) is a variable incorporating power delivery in its formula and combining it with CF and time in a weighted equation which aims at allowing for a more precise estimation of lesion depth and quality when ablating VAs. AI guidance has previously been shown to improve outcomes in atrial and ventricular ablation in patients with premature ventricular complexes (PVC). However research on outcomes following AI-guidance for VT ablation specifically in patients with structural disease and prior myocardial infarction remains sparse. The investigators aim at conducting the first randomized controlled trial testing for the superiority of an AI-guided approach regarding procedural duration.
Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMT) are a non-invasive, safe alternative treatment for patients with obesity. Current FDA- approved devices include intragastric balloons (IGB) and suturing devices for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). These gastric interventions work by interfering with how the stomach expands to accept and process a meal, which slows down how fast the stomach empties. ESG, the procedure the investigators are doing in this study, involves endoscopic suturing to reduce the length and width of the stomach so that the patient feels full faster. Semaglutide is a popular medication for weight loss, and has shown significant weight loss with a good safety profile in clinical trials. In this study, the investigators will compare ESG, Semaglutide only, and an ESG + Semaglutide combination, on weight loss for subjects undergoing the procedure with a history of obesity, liver fibrosis and NAFLD. To better understand how these impact obesity and liver fibrosis, the investigators will track weight loss, laboratory values, liver stiffness, and the patients overall liver health. The suturing device used in the ESG procedure and the semaglutide are all approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for endoscopic procedures in the upper gastrointestinal tract and medication management of obesity. This is a study that will randomize patients to 1 of 3 different treatment options: ESG only, Semaglutide only or ESG + Semaglutide. The investigators want to see if adding the weight loss medication to the ESG procedure will increase weight loss and how it will impact liver health.
The purpose of this study is to assess how well a new scoring system called the 5-SENSE score can predict where seizures start in the brain using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). The 5-SENSE Score is a 5-point score based on routine presurgical work-up, designed to assist in predicting whether SEEG can identify a focal seizure onset zone, thereby sparing patients the risk of undergoing this invasive diagnostic procedure.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of AZD2389 following single and multiple dose administration (SAD/MAD) to healthy participants.
