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 identify Dermatophagoides farinae, or Der f, sensitive asthmatics who demonstrate a late phase asthmatic response after Der f inhalation. These subjects may be invited to participate in a planned future study investigating novel asthma treatments.
Immediate potent inhibition of platelet function is critical for the prevention of periprocedural ischemic event occurrences in high risk N-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and an oral P2Y12 receptor blocker (with loading doses) is widely used for PCI. However, immediate, potent and reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation is not possible even with the newer oral agents, prasugrel and ticagrelor. Therefore, an intravenously administered GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (tirofiban) or P2Y12 receptor blocker (cangrelor) with fast onset and offset of actions will provide more desired antiplatelet effects in the setting of PCI. This study will measure and compare the anti-platelet effects of Tirofiban and Cangrelor in patients presenting with N-STEMI and undergoing PCI.
Spina bifida is a neurological abnormality characterized by an opening in the skin and exposure of the spinal cord on the back of the baby at the time of birth. The complete closure and separation of the spinal cord from the skin occurs in the first month of pregnancy. This form of spina bifida is associated with leg weakness, sensation loss, and bowel and bladder incontinence. The majority of patients (>80%) also develop increased fluid in the brain, called hydrocephalus, and require additional surgery to treat this problem. Standard treatment of myelomeningocele (MMC) involves closing the opening in the back within the first 3 days of life. The surgery releases the spinal cord from the skin and brings the skin edges together to prevent infection and injury to the exposed nerves. Of note, this type of surgery does not improve function. The investigators want to study the open in-utero fetal surgery technique in patients who are candidates for the standard open fetal repair technique but have a pre-pregnancy BMI of 35.0-40.0. The latter is a reason for exclusion for open fetal repair in most centers in the United States.
The primary purpose of our study is to conduct a pilot, practice-based intervention focused on increasing adherence to the 6As for youth ages 11 through 17 years. The 6As are: (1) "Anticipate" (future use), (2) "Ask" (about tobacco use), (3) "Advise" (advise the patient to quit using tobacco), (4) "Assess" (the patient's readiness to quit using tobacco), (5) "Assist" (by setting a quit date, providing materials on quitting tobacco, providing tobacco cessation medications, and referring the patient for additional services and/or counseling) , and (6) "Arrange" (by re-contacting the patient after their quit date and arranging a follow-up visit).
Objectives: 1. To better define the differences in molecular genetics of parathyroid tumors in patients with MEN1, single gland parathyroid disease in patients less than 50 years old and single gland disease in patients greater than 50 years old. 2. To better define the incidence of HRPT2 mutation in young patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and determine whether routine testing in these patients is indicated.
The study is intended to evaluate whether monthly repeated courses of administration of GSK2315698 followed by GSK2398852 is associated with a reduction in cardiac amyloid load in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, monitored by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and echocardiography (ECHO), and whether this is associated with an improvement in cardiac function. Cohort 1 is transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) , cohort 2 is patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) systemic amyloidosis at greater than 6 months post chemotherapy, cohort 3 newly diagnosed AL systemic amyloidosis undergoing chemotherapy. Primary objectives for the study are assessment of reduction in cardiac amyloid load after repeated administrations of Anti-SAP treatment as evaluated by CMR in all study groups and assessment of safety & tolerability of repeated administration of Anti-SAP treatment, including compatibility with chemotherapy treatment in patients with AL systemic amyloidosis. This is an open label, non-randomised, three-group, monthly repeat Anti-SAP treatment study in systemic amyloidosis patients with cardiac dysfunction caused by cardiac amyloidosis. Subjects will receive up to 6 courses of Anti-SAP treatment. Maximum total duration for a subject in the study is approximately 18 months.
This study will compare the clinical efficacy of inhaled iloprost as an invasive, selective vasodilator in the cardiac catheterization laboratory in patients with pulmonary hypertension to the gold standard of inhaled nitric oxide. It will also examine whether echocardiographic estimates of response to inhaled iloprost can predict responsiveness to invasive vasodilator testing in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
A ten-week study to assess MP-101 in Dementia-Related Psychosis and/or Agitation and Aggression
This clinical trial is being conducted to recommend a safe and tolerable phase 2 dose of docetaxel or cabazitaxel when combined with clarithromycin in men who have developed castrate-resistant prostate cancer. In the castrate-resistant setting, resistance to taxane therapy inevitably develops. Men who develop resistance to taxanes have a very poor prognosis, and few treatment options. It is believed that CYP enzymes contribute to docetaxel and cabazitaxel resistance in metastatic prostate cancer, and this resistance can be mitigated through pharmacologic CYP inhibition. In this study a potent CYP3A inhibitor, clarithromycin, will be co-administered concurrently with either docetaxel or cabazitaxel, whose systemic metabolism is dependent of CYP3A4, with the intent to overcome resistance to taxanes.
This was an open-label study to evaluate the safety of continued therapy with oral treprostinil in subjects who completed Study TDE-HF-301. This study provided long-term, open-label data regarding the effect of continued long-term oral treprostinil therapy for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Subject visits occurred at Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, 24, and every 12 weeks thereafter until either oral treprostinil was commercially available to treat PH associated with HFpEF or the study was discontinued by the Sponsor. The Sponsor terminated Studies TDE-HF-301 and TDE-HF-302 on 14 October 2019 due to slow enrollment. Safety data from the final subject in Study TDE-HF-302 were recorded on 02 March 2020. Due to the lower than expected number of subjects enrolled, the planned secondary efficacy-related endpoints were not analyzed.
