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 this study is to document the participants characteristics, disease burden, and clinical management of participants in the United States who are treated for relapsed multiple myeloma in routine medical practice with a treatment strategies that include a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and/or immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) used either as monotherapy or combination therapy with other treatments.
This is a pilot study of implement multi-parametric MR imaging for organ delineation and tumor response assessment of prostate cancer patients being treated with radiation therapy.
Pediatric patients often require prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery which comes with many undesirable effects. As a result, neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and biphasic positive airway pressure support (BiPAP) have been developed as non-invasive alternatives to providing respiratory support post-operatively. The investigators hypothesize that providing synchronized biphasic support with NAVA will be associated with shorter duration of non-invasive respiratory support, less sedation requirements, and reduced length of hospital stay. This is a prospective, randomized study. Subjects are randomized to receive either NAVA or BiPAP following their cardiothoracic surgery.
This will be a prospective, randomized, double blind trial enrolling patients who will undergo major liver resection. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either octreotide or placebo in the postoperative period. The patients will receive octreotide intravenously continuously for five days after operation. During this period the patients' health will be monitored by performing blood tests including complete metabolic profile, Complete Blood Count (CBC) with/diff., INR and PTT. The functioning of heart will also be monitored post-operatively by EKG. Up to 80 participants will be accrued over a 2 year period. Volumetric CT scans will be performed prior to hepatectomy, 1 week after hepatectomy and 3 months after hepatectomy to evaluate liver regeneration.
A window of opportunity study which would allow brief treatment of HPV negative SCCHN with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, in the pre-operative setting, with biomarker analyses of pre and post treatment tissue. Given that the standard treatment for this population is surgical resection, this would not impact or alter standard therapy for this population. The goal will be to learn more about the alterations in pRB1 levels, as well as other signaling markers, in order to be able to eventually plan a biomarker driven treatment study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of DFD-06 to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis when applied twice daily for 15 days.
This is a Phase 1 placebo-controlled biomarker study of NP001 in individuals with Alzheimer's Disease.
To evaluate the Model SC9 Intraocular Lens for the improvement of near and intermediate vision when compared to a legally marketed monofocal IOL.
High blood pressure can cause physical changes to the blood vessels of the body (remodeling). If a person who has high blood pressure also has a lot of blood vessel remodeling with their condition, they are more likely to have poor results with medical treatment for hypertension. The researchers examine the impact of different classes of drugs that doctors use to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) on blood vessel remodeling. Some drugs that doctors prescribe for their patients contain a "sulfhydryl group" (a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom). Drugs that have the sulfhydryl group may reduce blood vessel remodeling more that drugs that do not. For this study, participants who have high blood pressure perform the experiments, take a drug for 16-weeks to lower blood pressure, and repeat the experiments. The researchers randomly assign one of three drugs to participants who have high blood pressure: a diuretic ("water pill"), a drug containing a sulfhydryl (SH) group, or a drug that does not contain a sulfhydryl group. Participants who do not have high blood pressure perform the experiments, but do not take any of the drugs. In some of our experiments, the researchers use a technique called "microdialysis" (MD). With MD, the researchers perfuse some research drugs into the skin on the forearm through tiny tubing that mimics capillaries. These MD drugs mimic or block substances the body naturally makes to control the small blood vessels in the skin. The drugs remain in nickel-sized areas around the tubing and do not go into the rest of the body. The researchers also analyze very small skin samples (skin biopsy) obtained from the forearm. Lastly, the researchers use a standard technique called "flow mediated dilation" (FMD) that uses blood pressure cuffs and ultrasound to look at the health of larger blood vessels in the body. FMD includes placing a small tablet of nitroglycerin under the tongue during part of the test.
The primary objective is to determine the overall response rate (ORR) of TGR-1202 in R/R FL. Secondary Objectives - Determine the genetic and other novel biological markers that may be predictive of response or resistance to TGR-1202 in patients with relapsed or refractory FL. - Describe the Progression Free Survival (PFS), Duration of Response (DoR) after treatment with TGR-1202. - Describe the number of dose delays and dose reductions and other safety profile.
