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 objective of this study is to apply advanced diffusion imaging in a two-pronged assessment of renal mass patients: (1) characterization of lesion malignancy and subtype, and (2) prediction of renal function stability or decline following partial nephrectomy.
The primary objective of the STRIVE study is to compare two implementation strategies for Diabetes Prevention Program delivery: an in-person health coach strategy (standard 24 in-person sessions at WIC clinics) vs. a multifaceted technology-assisted health coach implementation strategy (12 in-person sessions at WIC clinics supplemented by technology support) on implementation and health-related outcomes in postpartum women.
This is an observational long-term follow-up (LTFU) study for subjects who previously received zamtocabtagene autoleucel, known as MB-CART2019.1.
Aims of the observational study is to establish novel blood-based biomarkers for grading bone disease in pediatric patients with Gaucher disease (GD). Patients with clinically confirmed GD: deficient GCase enzyme activity and corresponding genetic analysis will be eligible for enrollment. Levels of Lyso-Gb1, chitotriosidase, and CCL18 will be established for future bone biomarkers correlation analysis. Skeletal involvement will be assessed using standard clinical diagnostic tools, such as skeletal radiology and/or (DEXA). The comparator group will include age-matched healthy controls. Clinically confirmed patients with GD will be stratified based on their disease severity (Gaucher disease type 1 and Gaucher disease type 3) and bone pathology findings. In addition, given that growth is a dynamic process during the pediatric age group, results will be ascertained with respect to phases of growth, i.e., early childhood, late childhood, adolescent, and young adult age groups. At the conclusion of the study, investigatirs expect to establish specific biomarkers of bone development and pathology in pediatric GD patients.
In patients clinically treated with FDA-approved immunotherapy the investigators will assess the predictive value of pre- and on-treatment 1) immune-methylation profiling across cancer types, and 2) immune-methylation profiling and cytokine profiling within cancer types.
This study involves both the development of a novel learning tool, the Radiation Treatment Plan Evaluation Learning Module, as well as a pilot program to validate this tool as an effective resource to teach treatment plan review and optimization to radiation oncology residents.
This study evaluates how often women with throat (oropharyngeal) cancer or who have a partner with oropharyngeal cancer get anogenital infections with high risk, potentially cancer-causing types of human papilloma virus (HPV).
The primary goal of this study is to test the effectiveness of the iDECIDE (Drug Education Curriculum: Intervention, Diversion, and Empowerment) curriculum, a novel drug education and diversion program, in approximately 300 middle and high school students, who have violated their school substance use policies in the past month, as an alternative to punitive school responses for school-based substance use infractions. This randomized controlled trial will test the hypothesis that adolescents randomized to the iDECIDE curriculum will have improved substance use outcomes (i.e., knowledge, attitudes, and behavior) compared to adolescents in a waitlist control group. The outcomes of this study will measure knowledge of drug effects and brain development, perceptions of harm from substance use, willingness to quit or reduce use, and substance use behavior.
This study aims to evaluates autophagy in circulating white blood cells from generally healthy human volunteers exposed to fasting mimicking diet (FMD), a 5-day dietary regimen.
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the 3-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel, gemcitabine, plus cisplatin versus the 2-drug chemotherapy combination of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and a known genetic mutation in the BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene.
