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 prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blinded randomized study of self-administered auditory intervention in a naturalistic home environment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate mass balance, pharmacokinetics and safety of [14C] ABBV-CLS-7262 in healthy, male volunteers following administration of a single oral dose.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if targeted medical therapy will improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries compared to placebo, after the underlying cause of the chest pain has been ascertained by coronary function testing. Participants will be treated with either medications that target the underlying cause of their chest pain or placebo for 50 days. They will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires to evaluate their quality of life at the beginning and end of the study.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about further wheezing in infants with RSV infection.. The main question it aims to answer is: If infant factors, the infant immune response in the nose and the bacteria that reside in the nose at the time of primary RSV infection can predict/classify infants with recurrent wheezing during the following year. A secondary aim is to identify infant immune response factors in the nose and patterns of bacteria in the nose during primary RSV infection that may help us understand why recurrent wheezing occurs. Researchers will compare infants with repeated episodes of wheezing to infants who do not have further wheezing. Participants will be full term infants with their first RSV infection. We will collect information on the pregnancy and birth history as well as the signs and symptoms of RSV infection. Two nasal swabs and a nasal wash will be collected from the infants. Six weeks following the RSV infection we will begin contact with the families biweekly to determine if the infant has recurrent wheezing confirmed by a medical provider. Follow-up will continue for approximately 1 year, through a second winter season.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether IBD patients have better disease outcomes and feel more empowered to manage their condition if they have access to text messaging with their clinical team and if their symptoms are more regularly monitored through text-based surveys. Researchers will compare participants who have access to text-based monitoring, communication and education to participants who have access to text-based education alone. Researchers will also examine if different social and other non-medical factors impact IBD symptoms and quality of life. All participants will: - complete 5 brief on-line surveys over 12 months about their IBD and social risk factors, - receive IBD education content by text message up to 2 times a week. Some participants will also: - receive additional surveys by text to monitor their IBD progression, - have the opportunity to directly text message their IBD medical team.
The purpose of study is to understand the different factors (patient, societal, provider, clinic, health system) relevant in recruitment and participation of patients in Team Based Equity Conscious Telemedicine Approach to Improve Hypertension clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor activity of avelumab in combination with tuvusertib in terms of objective response in participants with advanced urothelial carcinoma. Study details include: Condition/Disease: Participants with urothelial carcinoma (locally advanced and unresectable, or metastatic) that has progressed on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy Treatment Duration: Participants will be treated until progressive disease, death, or discontinuation due to e.g. withdrawal of consent or lost to follow-up Visit Frequency: While receiving study intervention, participants will visit the site twice per every 21-day study intervention period. 1 week after end of study intervention, participants will visit the site for an End of Study Intervention Visit, followed by 2 Safety Follow-Up visits at 1 and 3 months after last dose, and thereafter have remote Long-Term Follow-up every 3 months. Study Duration: The overall study is planned to close after the last participant has been followed up for at least 12 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a microbiome analysis, education, and recommendation program can improve gut health, reduce future health risks, and empower parents in their children's health in infants aged 0-3 months delivered via Cesarean section. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the intervention increase bacteria considered beneficial, decrease the C- section microbiome signatures, promote a reduction in opportunistic pathogens, and improved functional potential for HMO digestion and SCFA production Will the intervention decrease microbiome signatures associated with atopic march conditions. Researchers will compare participants in the intervention arm, who will receive microbiome reports, personalized action plans, and educational materials, to participants in the control arm, who will receive microbiome results and educational materials after the study's completion, to see if the intervention leads to improved gut health and reduced risk of health conditions. Participants will: - Provide two microbiome stool samples three months apart. - Receive detailed infant gut health reports via the Tiny Health app. - Receive personalized action plans tailored to their infant's gut health needs. - Engage in gut health coaching sessions with a microbiome expert. - Receive an educational email series on infant gut health. - Complete a series of surveys/questionnaires on health history, symptoms, and diet. This study seeks to demonstrate that targeted microbiome interventions can significantly improve early infant gut health, leading to potential long-term health benefits. These benefits may include reduced healthcare costs by lowering the incidence of related chronic conditions. By establishing a foundation for mitigating these conditions, the intervention could consequently result in fewer doctor visits, reduced need for medications, and a lower incidence of hospitalizations over the first 3-4 years of the infant's life.
In humans, insulin is secreted in pulses from the pancreatic beta-cells, and these oscillations help to maintain fasting plasma glucose levels within a narrow normal range. These pulses become disrupted in the presence of insulin resistance. Some people have referred to Alzheimer's Disease as type 3 diabetes because the glucose uptake in the brain is reduced by 30%. Clinical observations in clinics that treat patients with insulin pulses every 5 minutes for 3 hours twice a week for 2 weeks followed by once a week for 6 weeks and followed by less frequency treatments suggest an improvement in type 2 diabetes control, reduction in insulin resistance and an improvement in diabetes complications. A patient with Parkinson's Disease was treated with this pulsed insulin paradigm and experienced dramatic improvement that has now been maintained over years. Parkinson's Disease has been reported to have a decreased glucose uptake in the brain, so pulsed insulin treatment was tried in a small number of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and there was an impression that they showed improvement. Clinics that use pulsed insulin treatment change more than one parameter of the insulin pulses which makes it difficult to determine what is giving the improvement. The euglycemic hyper-insulinemic clamp, also called a clamp, is a well-standardized test that measures insulin resistance and involves intravenous insulin infusion. This single patient study will enroll one patient with early Alzheimer's disease and insulin resistance. The subject will have one standard clamp test with continuous insulin followed by 4 clamps over a 2-week period using the same amount of insulin over the same period of time but administered in pulses every 5 minutes. This was the number of pulsed insulin treatments needed to see a dramatic improvement in Parkinson's disease. The cognition in the Alzheimer's disease patient will be thoroughly evaluated with questionnaires and walking on a special mat while doing arithmetic tasks before and after the 4 pulsed insulin clamps. If this study demonstrates an improvement in cognition, one will know that the only thing that changed from the standard clamp was the pulse nature of the insulin delivery.
This clinical trial studies if a bowel management program with a retrograde rectal enema (RRE) for the treatment of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in rectal cancer patients is better than medical management alone. Rectal cancer treatment can include a procedure where part of the rectum with cancer is removed and the remaining part of the rectum is reconnected to the colon, this is called a low anterior resection of the rectum. LARS is a common condition that can develop after undergoing a low anterior resection of the rectum. LARS consists of any change in how the body performs defecation, the discharge of feces from the body, after undergoing a resection procedure. Patients with LARS may experience fecal urgency, incontinence, increased frequency, constipation, feelings of incomplete bowel movement, or bowel emptying difficulties. Patients may experience individual symptoms of LARS or a combination of them. A bowel management program assists patient's with identifying a specific bowel management regimen that works best for managing symptoms of LARS. A RRE consists of inserting a catheter through the anus into the rectum. The RRE is designed to assist fecal emptying. Medical management of LARS can include the use of fiber, loperamide hydrochloride, or pelvic floor physical therapy. Fiber may help relieve constipation, feelings of incomplete bowel movement, or bowel emptying difficulties. Loperamide hydrocholoride may help lessen fecal urgency, incontinence, or increased frequency. Pelvic floor physical therapy may help restore strength in the rectum possibly helping to improve symptoms of LARS. Participating in a bowel management program with a RRE may be more effective in treating LARS than medical management alone.
