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.
The purpose of this study is to help researchers learn about how the brain responds to rewards. This study is interested in seeing how these responses differ between people who are more and less responsive to insulin in their body, and people with and without depression.
This clinical trial studies 18F-clofarabine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in imaging patients with cancer before and after treatment with a therapy that activates the patient's immune system (immunotherapy). PET/CT scans give detailed pictures of areas inside the body. 18F-clofarabine is a drug that contains a radioactive substance that is taken up by cells expressing deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), which is highly expressed in activated immune cells, making them light up during PET/CT scans. Doctors also want to know how 18F-clofarabine is distributed throughout the body before and after treatment with immunotherapies.
This is a study funded by the National Institute of Health. The rationale for the need of this research is the lack of any well proven risk-reducing intervention that may decrease the morbidity of lung cancer resection in patients with COPD or that may improve their quality of life trajectory, a meaningful outcome in the overall disease progression. The proposed intervention is unique as it combines exercise and behavioral interventions that were pilot tested in a randomized single-blinded controlled design in the proposed population and proved feasible and potentially effective. The aim is to test the effect of the proposed rehabilitation on length of stay, pulmonary complications and quality of life trajectory.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the benefit of the combination of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine given for 6 cycles, followed by maintenance nab-paclitaxel alone, in patients with cisplatin-ineligible or cisplatin-incurable advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Twenty-five women will be followed through their breast cancer treatment. The women will be asked to provide their opinions and desires for lifestyle intervention at different times throughout treatment. In addition, basic clinical data will be collected . The primary goal of this pilot study is to investigate the physical and behavioral changes that occur in patients receiving treatment for breast cancer.
This pilot phase 0 trial studies how well enzalutamide works before surgery in treating patients with kidney cancer. Androgens are a type of hormone produced by the body that may cause kidney tumors to grow. Anti-hormone therapy, such as enzalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens produced by the body and keep kidney tumors from growing.
This is a randomized study investigating whether identification, ligation, and burial of superficial branches of the saphenous nerve crossing the surgical field during total knee arthroplasty reduces the rate of post-operative anterior knee pain and neuralgia compared to standard total knee arthroplasty.
This pilot will study the feasibility and exploratory efficacy of using Cabozantinib for recurrent or refractory central nervous system tumors for which there are no curative options. Patients will also be followed for safety, time to progression, event free survival and overall survival
The purpose of the study is to learn about the impact of exercise on fatigue, anxiety, and depression in Parkinson's disease. It is well established that exercise improves the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, it is not clear which types of exercise are most beneficial for specific non-motor symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and effects of switching treatments from bosentan (Tracleer) or macientan (Opsumit) to ambrisentan (Letairis) over 24 weeks in subjects with Connective Tissue Disease associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (CTD-PAH).
