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 research study will evaluate the effect of liver disease on the pharmacokinetics (the breakdown of the drug in the body) of parallel-group, multiple oral doses nalbuphine extended release (NAL ER), tablets in people with liver disease (mild, moderate and severe), compared to people with normal liver function. The study will also test the safety and tolerability of the NAL ER, when it is given to subjects with mild, moderate and severe liver disease, compared to subjects with normal liver function. This protocol will also study the effects of this drug on itching in liver disease subjects if they report some itching prior to taking part in this study.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effects on early child development of early community services, including a brief nurse home visiting program. Investigators hypothesize that nurse home visiting program participants will be significantly different than non- nurse home visiting program participants on the following child and family outcomes: (a) (reduced) infant emergency room use and overnight hospital stays; (b) (increased) family use of community resources and (higher quality) child care; (c) (increased) maternal wellbeing; and (d) (increased) quality of the home environment, including home safety and supportive parenting by both parents. The study will also explore long-term differences between the nurse home visiting program recipients and non-recipients in (a) rates of official investigations for child maltreatment and (b) two indicators of early educational achievement: kindergarten readiness scores and rates of kindergarten attendance.
Of the 795,000 people who experience a stroke every year in the US, only a small percentage will achieve full recovery. While current therapies promote strength and endurance, none directly address the unique potential of the brain to reorganize following injury. The goal of this project is to explore the effects of a novel therapy, acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). During this therapy, individuals receive brief bouts of reduced oxygen levels by inhalation through a face mask. (This is akin to being on top of a tall mountain). In brief exposures, AIH is known to trigger the release of specific proteins that help the brain adapt to oxygen reductions. Published results in people with incomplete spinal cord injury have shown that AIH enhances muscle strength and coordination rather quickly. The research team aims to study the effects of AIH in stroke survivors.
This pilot study aims to develop a method for simultaneous whole-body calcium and phosphorus balance and full kinetic modeling of both ions in patients with chronic kidney disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine what the safest dose of talazoparib plus temozolomide for participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. The purpose of Phase II is to test the efficacy (effectiveness) of talazoparib and temozolomide at the maximum tolerated dose, which was determined to be 1mg talazoparib and 75mg/m² temozolomide in the Phase Ib portion of this study.
This pilot study will lay the foundation for the first large-scale trial evaluating the psychosocial and physical health benefits of a widely available and promising Qigong intervention (Eight Brocades) for distressed cancer caregivers (CCGs). CCGs represent a well-defined, large and growing subset of a larger population of CGs that overlap greatly in the constellations of morbidities that lead to high levels of distress. The multi-modal nature of the Eight Brocades Qigong regimen explicitly targets both psychosocial and physical functional symptoms, thus expanding the scope of mind-body studies for CGs to date, which have largely focused on stress management and psychological well-being. This pilot study, and the eventual large-scale comparative effectiveness trial, explores the effectiveness of Qigong training delivered in both community-based group classes and through self-guided internet-based modules supplemented with one-on-one virtual learning support. This trial will be the first to explore the delivery of Qigong to caregivers using an internet-based program, potentially leading to wider accessibility to mind-body therapies, and providing an alternative to community-based group-class learning.
This trial studies the side effects and best dose of AVB-S6-500 when given together with durvalumab in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is resistant to platinum therapy or has come back. Immunotherapy with AVB-S6-500 and durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, exploratory trial of temozolomide-based chemo-radiotherapy which compares two widely used established radiation schedules with either 40 Gy in 15 fractions or 25 Gy in 5 fractions with concurrent temozolomide for both schedules in patients with glioblastoma.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, on visceral and ectopic fat, insulin resistance, inflammation markers, and the downstream effect of cardiovascular risk in people with HIV. The primary endpoints will be visceral and ectopic fat changes over the study period. The secondary endpoints will include changes in markers of inflammation, immune activation, gut integrity, and cardiovascular disease risk assessment.
This is a pilot trial being performed to evaluate the feasibility, to include the ability of EMS to identify patients in shock and the ability to package, store, and administer Kcentra in the field.
