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.
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that has no cure. MRI is the main tool used in the study and treatment of people with MS. A tracer has been developed for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme found in the brain during inflammation. Researchers want to explore the role inflammation plays in MS and see if COX-2 is measurable in the brains of people with the disease. Objective: To see if COX-2 is detectable in the brains of individuals with MS. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with MS who are otherwise healthy. Design: Participants will be screened with their medical history and a physical exam. They will have an EKG to check the electrical activity of the heart. Participants study involvement requires 2 to 3 visits and will last between 1 week and 4 months. Participants will have 2 PET scans of the brain. These might occur on the same day or on separate days. A small amount of a radioactive chemical will be injected through an intravenous catheter. A needle will be used to guide a thin plastic tube into an arm vein. The needle will be removed. Only the catheter will be left in the vein. The PET scanner is shaped like a doughnut. Participants will lie on a bed that slides in and out of the scanner. They will wear a plastic mask molded to fit the head. The scan will last about 90 minutes. Participants will receive the medication celecoxib orally about 2 hours before the second scan. Participants will have blood tests. Participants must avoid certain medications a month prior to the PET scans. ...
TolaSure is a topical gel for the promotion of accelerated wound healing. This Phase I study will assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of TolaSure when applied to wounded skin areas of patients diagnosed with severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex (i.e., EBS-Dowling Meara). A total of 10, severe EBS patients, males and females ages 18 years and older, will be enrolled. Patients will apply TolaSure and Vehicle Gel once-daily for a maximum of 10 weeks.
Palpitations occur in more than 25% of women as they approach menopause and after menopause. However, the etiology of menopausal palpitations has not been studied, and it is unknown whether palpitations in menopausal women are caused by underlying arrhythmias or other electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities. Objective: 1. The primary objective of this exploratory pilot study is to assess whether arrhythmias and/or other ECG abnormalities underlie symptomatic palpitations in peri- and postmenopausal women 2 The secondary objective is to better understand women's palpitations symptom experiences (describe the symptom, its dimensions (frequency, severity, distress, duration, temporal pattern, aggravating/alleviating factors), and any attempted or actual healthcare utilization related to the symptom (provider contacts, discussions, referrals; laboratory or other tests). In this study, 40 peri- and post-menopausal women will be enrolled to determine if they have underlying arrhythmias or other ECG abnormalities. n=20 peri/postmenopausal women who describe palpitations within the previous 2 weeks and a control group of n=20 peri/postmenopausal women who have not experienced palpitations within 6 months will be enrolled. All participants will undergo placement of a 14-day adhesive ECG monitoring patch [(Carnation Ambulatory Monitoring (CAM) patch, Bardy Diagnostics] on their chest. After wearing the patch for 14 days, the patch will be removed, and a 2nd 14-day patch will be placed, for a total of 28 days of ECG recording. Data from the adhesive ECG patches will be uploaded and an assessment of arrhythmias and other ECG changes will be made. In addition, all participants will undergo a semi-structured interview to obtain information on their palpitations symptoms experience.
This trial is being completed to evaluate whether a crystallized form of lactulose (Kristalose) will improve quality of life, sleep and cognitive function in patients with cirrhosis that have not been diagnosed with Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), but report reduced quality of life.
Researchers in this study want to learn how a new contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called BAY1747846 moves into, through and out of the body (pharmacokinetics) after injection in participants with normal and impaired renal function. Impaired renal function is a condition where the kidneys do not work as well as they should. BAY1747846 belongs to the class gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). The way the body removes GBCAs including BAY1747846 from the blood is through the kidneys. So, when the kidneys are not working normally, it takes longer to remove BAY1747846 out of the body. The participants in this study will either have normal renal function, or will have mild or moderate impaired renal function. The participants will receive BAY1747846 one time through a needle into a vein. During the study, the participants will visit the study site about 6 times. The participants will stay at the study site for up to 9 days. Each participant will be in the study for up to 7 months. During the study, the doctors will: - check the participants' overall health - take blood and urine samples - ask the participants about what medications they are taking and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
This goal of this randomized control trial is to test whether a web application that provides sexual and gender minority youth ages 13-19 (N=200) with tools for affirming their identities and coping with minority stress can affect key psychosocial outcomes, such as coping self-efficacy and symptoms of anxiety and depression.
This study is intended to examine the acute thermogenic effects of the active study product (energy drink), in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of INCB054707 in participants with prurigo nodularis over a 16-week double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period, followed by a 24 -week single blind extension period.
This study will evaluate the validity of using a survey to quantify patient preferences at the point-of-care and the potential effectiveness of the survey to improve goal-concordant care. The primary hypothesis is that by identifying the strength of patient preferences for outcomes with this survey clinicians will be able to improve goal-concordant care by aligning clinical recommendations with patients' preferences. This study will have 50 patients with newly diagnosed hematologic malignancy complete the survey throughout their disease course (up to 2 years) and conduct qualitative interviews with a subset (n = 20) of participants. The information obtained from these participants will be used to refine the survey. Interviews with oncologists and palliative care specialists (up to 10) will inform implementation.
The primary goal of this trial is to assess clinical response to nivolumab and pixatimod, and, nivolumab, pixatimod and cyclophosphamide in three separate patient cohorts. Cohort 1: MSS mCRC in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide, Cohort 2: PD-1 relapsed/refractory melanoma, and Cohort 3: PD-1 relapsed/refractory NSCLC.
