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 is a pilot trial to test perampanel (Fycompa; Eisai, Inc.) in ALS patients. The investigators will focus on safety and preliminary signs of efficacy. Perampanel is approved by the FDA for treatment of seizures in patients with epilepsy. In this study, perampanel will be used off-label for adults with ALS at an oral medication dose on the low end of the recommended dose range for epilepsy. This study will consist of two treatments arms: perampanel and matching placebo randomized at a 1:1 ratio. Subjects will receive medication for 9 months.

This pilot study will investigate B-cell responses following vaccination with live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in healthy children 2 years of age from blood samples taken at designated time points before and after vaccination.
To follow the effectiveness of Sorbion Dressing in the treatment of highly exuding venous leg ulcers.
The purpose of the study is to compare the results of the Becton Dickinson (BD) Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Assay on the Viper LT instrument from Liquid-based cytology media diluted in HPV diluent to adjudicated histology results from biopsy.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchrony with exhalation can increase the strength of the respiratory muscles in prolonged mechanical ventilation patients.
The focus of this application is on the improvement of services for African American (AAs) Veterans afflicted with an alcohol use disorder. The project focuses on the use of topiramate as a treatment for alcohol use disorders. Despite having lower rates of heavy drinking than European Americans (EAs), AAs have significantly higher rates of mortality from a variety of alcohol-related conditions, including liver cirrhosis, accidents, and violence. Despite the higher rates of morbidity and mortality, pharmacological treatments are understudied in this population and there is some evidence that medications are less preferred and less effective in AAs.
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a condition that impacts up to 60% of the growing postmenopausal female population, and the most common symptom is dyspareunia. Vaginal estrogen is the most common treatment for VVA, but it only marginally improves overall sexual function, and many women and clinicians avoid using it because of the risks of exogenous estrogen use during menopause. Ospemifene is a non-estrogen selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that is FDA-approved for treating dyspareunia related to VVA, and has shown superb improvements in overall sexual health. 104 women will be randomized to receive 12 weeks of 60mg oral ospemifene, taken daily, or 12 weeks of 0.5mg vaginal conjugated estrogens, which is placed vaginally twice per week. The improvements in sexual health and VVA symptom severity will be compared in each group. This study will help determine if ospemifene is a better treatment medication than conjugated estrogens.
This phase 2, single-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the onset-of-action, safety, and efficacy of RDX227675 for the treatment of hyperkalemia. Subjects who qualify are randomized into one of four treatment groups: Group 1 (Placebo qd), Group 2 (RDX227675 10 g qd), Group 3 (RDX227675 20 g qd), Group 4 (RDX227675 30 g qd).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay implanted in bilateral pseudophakes with presbyopia for improvement of near and intermediate vision. The ReVision Optics corneal inlay is a 2.0-mm, 30-micron inlay made of a hydrogel material, implanted under a lasik flap. Subjects must require reading add from +1.50 D to +2.50 D. Subjects must have a preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent of -0.50 to +1.00 D with no more than 0.75 D of refractive cylinder. The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay will be implanted in the non-dominant eye.
