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.
Specific Aim #1 (Feasibility; primary aim): To assess the feasibility of the PP-MI group-based physical activity intervention and outcome assessments in patients with MetS. Hypothesis: The PP exercises and MI-based goal-setting sessions will be feasible: most (≥50%) of participants will complete 6/9 exercises/sessions. Furthermore, the investigators will be able to obtain objective physical activity measurement follow-up data from at least 80% of enrolled participants at the end of the intervention and 24 weeks later. Specific Aim #2 (Acceptability): To assess whether the intervention is acceptable to participants, as measured by ratings provided after each PP-MI session. Hypothesis: The intervention will be acceptable: participants will rate the PP-MI exercises with a mean score of at least 7 out of 10 on ease of completion and helpfulness. Specific Aim #3 (Outcomes): To assess whether this preliminary intervention appears to result in improvement of physical activity, related health behaviors (sedentary time, diet quality), psychological well-being (optimism, positive affect, anxiety, depression), and the exploratory outcomes of MetS-relevant physiological markers (e.g., blood pressure, weight, chart-reviewed lipids and HbA1C). Hypothesis a: The intervention will lead to improvements in physical activity, related health behaviors, optimism and positive affect, reductions in depression and anxiety at 9 weeks and 24 weeks compared to baseline (or the start of the intervention, for the WLC group). Hypothesis b: The hypothesis is that there will be improvements in the exploratory outcomes of the physiological markers, even if they do not reach significance.
The objective of the proposed work is to enhance understanding of the potential benefits of adjustable sockets and inform clinical decision making.
This is a prospective, multi-center observational study. The study is designed to measure the clinical effectiveness of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor (ETI) triple combination therapy in people with one or more copies of the F508del mutation, study the effects of ETI across a number of CF disease manifestations, and collect specimens for future research. Subjects in the study will have one "before TCT" visit within 30 days before initiation of the therapy and five "after TCT" visits over a 30-month follow-up period. Participants who have participated in the original PROMISE cohort have the option of participating in a long-term extension with annual visits performed at the 42- and 54-month timepoints. The durability of the clinical and biological changes in PROMISE can be assessed with extended follow-up, which would enable the sub-studies to consider potential clinical consequences of the biological or physiological effects being studied. This work will help to inform long term prognosis and feasibility of certain clinical trials outcomes for interventional studies and may be useful when considering research priorities in drug development. Most participating sites have been divided into sub-study groups; each sub-study group has specific non-optional procedures conducted in addition to the "Core" procedures. Finally, there is one optional procedure (transient elastography) that will be offered to subjects at certain sites. The duration of participation for each subject is 30 months (with an additional 24 months if participants agree to the optional long-term extension). NOTE: FDA has reviewed the New Drug Application (NDA) for elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor and has granted approval.
The purpose of this study is to 1) determine how hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) activation occurs with sleep restriction and 2) evaluate how hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG axis) deactivation occurs with sleep restriction. The investigator will also examine the cognitive function associated with sleep restriction, including food intake and food cravings.
The purpose of this study is to determine if catheter-based atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is superior to treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs as a first-line therapy for symptomatic persistent AF.
This is a Phase II non-blinded randomized study evaluating men with oligometastatic prostate cancer lesions randomized (1:1) to stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) versus SBAR + Radium-223. We are looking to determine the progression-free survival of men who have oligometastatic prostate cancer with at least one bone metastasis with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) versus SABR + Radium-223.
Study CC-99712-MM-001 is an open-label, Phase 1, dose escalation (Part A) and expansion (Part B), First-in-Human (FIH) clinical study of CC-99712 in monotherapy or combination with BMS-986405 in participants with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The dose escalation part (Part A) of the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CC-99712, administered intravenously (IV) in monotherapy (Arm 1) or combination with BMS-986405 (Arm 2), to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CC-99712 guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM). A modified accelerated titration design will also be used for Arm 1 and Arm 2. The MTD may be established separately for CC-99712 administered at Q3W and/ or Q4W schedules. The expansion part (Part B) will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of CC-99712 in monotherapy (Arm 1) or combination (Arm 2) administered at or below the MTD in selected expansion cohorts in order to determine the RP2D. One or more doses or dosing regimens may be selected for cohort expansion. All participants will be treated until confirmed disease progression per IMWG criteria, unacceptable toxicity, or participants//Investigator decision to withdraw.
The main purpose of this study is to characterize the long-term safety and efficacy of the drug Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) in patients who have been previously enrolled in an applicable Phase 3 psoriasis study.
To measure the efficacy and safety outcomes of SLT performed by optometrists.
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a major pathogen causing serious healthcare-associated diarrheal illness in patients. Prevention of healthcare facility-onset C. difficile infection (CDI) is essential. Many CDI cases are caused by the transmission of the pathogen from patients who carry the bacteria, but do not have symptoms. However, there are limited data on how to prevent the transmission of C. difficile from patients who do not have symptoms. Universal gloving practices - the use of gloves by all healthcare workers for all patient contacts - may reduce CDI cases. In this study, the investigators will examine the effectiveness of universal gloving practices as compared to standard of care (use of gloving for contact only in patients with known CDI or other infections). The investigators will compare the effects of these practices on the transmission of C. difficile within participating hospital units to determine if universal gloving is an effective practice to prevent healthcare-associated CDI.
