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.
Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as "tennis elbow" is a common cause of elbow pain encountered in primary care and specialty clinics. Although lateral epicondylitis is common, little consensus exists on the best way to treat it. Historically 80% of patients will get better with non-operative treatments (rest, NSAIDS, bracing and injections). In regard to efficacy of injections, recent large, prospective, randomized studies have shown minor improvements in the short term, but no long term benefits when compared to saline injection. Consistently, intra-articular injections have not been reported. The investigators suspect that elbow joint inflammation may be an underappreciated source of pain in lateral epicondylitis. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients receiving intra-articular injections will have greater improvement compared to patients receiving either no injection or an intra-tendinous injection.
The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ABBV-8E12 in participants with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Nausea is a common complaint in patients who present to the emergency department (ED). Although the number of conditions that can present with nausea are numerous, the mainstay of treatment has become intravenous ondansetron (Zofran), not only due to its rapid onset but also its availability. One of the major drawbacks to using this form is that it often needs to be redosed. This study aims to compare intravenous (IV) ondansetron alone versus IV ondansetron given with IV dexamethasone (Decadron) as another viable option when treating patients with nausea in the emergency department. Previous studies in patients undergoing surgical procedures have shown that when IV dexamethasone is given with IV ondansetron to post-operative patients they have less nausea and vomiting than ondansetron alone, and were even found to show decreased post-operative pain associated with nausea. It has also been shown to decrease the need to re-dose antiemetic medication. Although this combination has not been tested in the emergency department it is believed by these investigators that the additional use of dexamethasone may decrease the need to use repeated doses of ondansetron. The investigators believe this may change the way physicians currently approach the nauseated patient in regards to treatment. That rather than possibly giving multiple doses of one medication over and over to reduce a patient's nausea, physicians can give two medications together at one time. The investigators hope to demonstrate that by giving intravenous dexamethasone and ondansetron together, it may be possible to reduce the number of patients who need additional doses of nausea medication.
Does pancreas enzyme replacement (PERT) decrease weight loss and improve quality of life in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer?
This is an open-label, dose escalation Phase I study to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of single agent of Nivolumab as maintenance treatment to prevent relapse in patients with hematologic malignancies after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Approximately 29 patients will be enrolled, where about 6-12 patients will be included on the dose escalation phase and 20 patients will be on the expansion cohort at maximal tolerated dose.
In this study, patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that does not respond to hormone treatment and who have mutations in certain cancer-related genes will be treated with docetaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy.
Both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are standardly used and have been extensively studied separately to guide percutaneous coronary intervention and improve long-term outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to directly compare high-definition IVUS images to OCT in the same patients to determine the differences between each modality as they relate to imaging coronary pathology, with the goal of determining which modality is most appropriate in particular clinical scenarios.
This study is a multi-armed protocol designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different combinations of nutritional supplements (study drug) (Glauco-Health and Glauco-Select) chosen for their potential to protect retinal ganglion cells against oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with open-angle glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Oxidative stress and retinal cellular dysfunction will be measured using a Retinal Metabolic Analyzer (RMA) in this randomized, single center, double masked study. Patients with glaucoma will be divided into three treatment arms randomized to receive either Glauco-Health, Glauco-Select, or placebo.
Purpose: Patients with peripheral lung nodules require evaluation for lung cancer. Our aim is to assess the diagnostic yield of a new technique, transbronchial cryobiopsies, in patients at risk for lung cancer. Target population: Patients referred for bronchoscopy and lung biopsies as a part of their work up for peripheral lung lesions. Procedures: Patients enrolled will have forceps transbronchial biopsies followed by transbronchial cryobiopsies for their lung lesion during bronchoscopy.
The primary objectives of the Phase 1b Dose Escalation part of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of GS-5829 in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended Phase 2 dose of GS-5829 in combination with fulvestrant in women with advanced estrogen receptor positive, HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer. The primary objective of the Randomized Phase 2 Dose Expansion portion of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GS-5829 in combination with fulvestrant compared to fulvestrant alone in women with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer. This study was terminated early and the Phase 2 portion of the study was not conducted.
