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 primary aim of this study is to determine whether implementation of a postpartum patient navigation program improves health outcomes among low-income women. Patient navigation is a barrier focused, long-term patient-centered intervention that offers support for a defined set of health services. The intervention under investigation is a comprehensive postpartum patient navigator program. Women who are randomized to receive patient navigation will be compared to women who are randomized to receive usual care. Navigators will support women through one year postpartum. The NNM2 program will be grounded in understanding and addressing social determinants of health in order to promote self-efficacy, enhance access, and sustain long-term engagement. Participants will undergo surveys, interviews, and medical record review at 4-12 weeks and 11-13 months postpartum. The investigators will additionally conduct focus groups and surveys with clinical providers.
This pilot study will test whether depression symptoms and cognitive functioning are impacted by internet-delivered mindfulness training following the principles of mindfulness meditation. The population is adults ages 65+ experiencing a current major depressive episode. Participants will receive an approximate 10-week instruction in mindfulness meditation, provided remotely through internet. Outcomes are depressive symptoms, assessed via clinical interview and self-report, and cognitive function, assessed via smartphone-delivered cognitive tests and surveys. The total duration of participation is approximately 18 weeks.
This pilot trial studies the side effects and how well CBM588 works in improving clinical outcomes in patients who have undergone donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Gut microbiota (formerly called gut flora) is the name given to the microbe (bacteria) population living in the intestine. Gut bacteria help the body to digest certain foods that the stomach and small intestine have not been able to digest. CBM588, may increase gut bacteria biodiversity, prevent recurrent symptoms of gastrointestinal toxicity (ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon).
The main objective of the trial is to characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of BMS-986165 in subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PTX-022, topical rapamycin, in the treatment of adults with moderate to severe Pachyonychia Congenita. This study includes four-parts, and if a participant completes all parts, the participant will have received at least 3-months of PTX-022 treatment.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of ATSN-101 administered as a unilateral subretinal injection in patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) caused by autosomal recessive guanylate cyclase 2D (GUCY2D) mutations (GUCY2D-LCA). Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ascending doses of ATSN-101 administered as a unilateral subretinal injection in patients with GUCY2D-LCA.
Girls with obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome will receive either glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist therapy or a dietary intervention for 12 weeks to decrease the metabolic syndrome, in particular to lower hepatic fat and improve insulin sensitivity.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA; Wegener's) is a multi-organ autoimmune disease characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis. Upper respiratory involvement occurs in up to 90% of patients with GPA and is often the first manifestation of the disease. Patients with upper respiratory tract disease are more at risk of local and systemic relapse. Microbial organisms may be involved in inducing disease activity in GPA. Previous culture-dependent studies found that patients with GPA were more likely to be chronic nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus compared to non-GPA chronic rhinosinusitis and healthy controls; additionally, GPA patients with S. aureus colonization are more likely to experience a future relapse. This led to a randomized placebo-controlled trial of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) which showed this antibiotic/antifungal was effective in preventing relapse in GPA. Whether the benefits of TMP-SMX are related to its antimicrobial properties versus anti-inflammatory effects is still unknown. The objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate the changes in the nasal microbiome, mycobiome, and host immunity in patients with GPA before, during, and after receipt of TMP-SMX for 4 weeks. The target enrollment number is 30 participants, and the investigators will include patients seen at the Penn Vasculitis Center with GPA (diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology Classification Criteria or based on investigator's judgment). To analyze nasal microbiome and host immunity, participants will be swabbed with nasal swab and cytobrush for DNA sequencing and other studies. An optional research blood draw is also included. The investigators and coordinators will follow each patient longitudinally over a 6-month period.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, often affecting more than 40% of adults in Europe, Asia and the USA. Severe myopia is associated with an increased risk of developing other eye conditions such as glucoma, cataracts and retinal detachment, which may lead to blindness. Early treatment of myopia in children could help slow the condition and minimize the risk of complications later in life. This study investigates the use of SYD-101, an eye solution, in slowing-down the progression of myopia in children.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of treating opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnant women with extended-release buprenorphine (BUP-XR), compared to sublingual buprenorphine (BUP-SL), on mother and infant outcomes. The primary hypothesis is that the BUP-XR group will not have greater illicit opioid use than the BUP-SL group during pregnancy (non-inferiority).
