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 is designed to assess the safety and feasibility of using the ExAblate, Type 2 to temporarily disrupt the blood brain barrier in non-enhancing suspected infiltrating glioma. The ExAblate Model 4000 Type-2 is intended for use as a tool to disrupt the BBB.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of olaparib and how well it works with radium Ra 223 dichloride in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to the bone and other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Radioactive drugs, such as radium Ra 223 dichloride, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Giving olaparib and radium Ra 223 dichloride may help treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This research study is studying a drug called pembrolizumab as a possible treatment for aggressive lymphoma or a histiocyte or dendritic cell neoplasm. The drug involved in this study is: -Pembrolizumab
Background: People show changes in brain activity when they watch other people do actions. This may be part of early social and communication skills. Researchers want to understand the stages of normal development of motor observation and imitation in people and how it relates to social development in infants and toddlers. Objective: To study the nature of brain activity that underlies typical brain functioning in infants, toddlers, and adults. Eligibility: Infants ages 8 12 months Healthy adults ages 18 65 Design: Adult participants will have one visit. They will: Answer questions about their family, like its size and ethnicity. Answer questions about their own behavior and do a simple motor task. Have EEG/fNIRS. A damp elastic cap with small sensors will be placed on the head. Participants will observe stimuli, either on a video screen or of a live person. The sensors will be connected to a computer. That will record the participant s brain activity while watching pictures on a screen. Infant participants will have 2 visits. Their parents will answer questions about their family. The parents will fill out forms about their child s development. These will be mailed to them before each visit. Parents will stay with their infant while study staff does an assessment of the child s communication, motor, and thinking skills. Infants will have EEG/fNIRS. Infants who are at risk for developmental delays will come back for another visit when they are about 2 years old. This will repeat the infant visits but it will not include EEG/fNIRS. Some questionnaires and assessments will be videotaped.
This is a Phase IIb multicenter, open-label, non-comparative trial of continuous daily oral 10 mg of ulipristal acetate (UPA) to evaluate its contraceptive efficacy as the primary method of contraception.
The purpose of this study is to use transcanial doppler (TCD) ultrasound to look for possible risk factors for ischemic brain injury. We will perform contrast TCD with agitated saline contrast to identify and contrast right-to-left shunt (RLS) and breath holding to assess cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in the elderly.
Patients undergoing shoulder rotator cuff surgery in an outpatient setting are the focus of this study. The purpose of this study is to determine if the product EXPAREL® can be used as a safe alternative in shoulder surgery to pain pumps, while limiting narcotic use and providing appropriate postoperative pain control.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of an all-natural, patented wafer with active ingredients that are FDA approved as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Reference: US Federal Drug Administration (1970) Scientific Literature Reviews GRAS Report, PB-241 970. Active Ingredients: Lecithins. .In this study the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of this dietary product called NTFactor Lipids® made by Nutritional Therapeutics, Inc. of New York on pain, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as quality of life indicators in adult male and female participants with fibromyalgia. The addition of NTFactor Lipids to the diet is expected to improve cellular energy function, decrease fatigue and pain and lower the severity of other symptoms and improve quality of life indicators in Fibromyalgia. This study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study.
Glioblastomas (GBM) demonstrate in vivo genetic and histologic heterogeneity that can be non-invasively identified using imaging phenotypes that identify regionally distinct areas of tumor with genetic alterations that drive tumor resistance pathways. The researchers propose a unique approach to assess initial GBM heterogeneity by performing histological and genomic analysis of biopsies targeted by advanced MRI before treatment.
This study is designed to evaluate the Sentinel BreastScan II as well as the analysis of data by Therma-Scan.
