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 determine whether Heat Shock Protein Peptide Complex-96 (HSPPC-96) Vaccine is an feasible and safe treatment for pediatric patients with newly-diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas or recurrent, resectable High-Grade Gliomas and Ependymomas.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly administration of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (A1PI) augmentation therapy in subjects with A1PI deficiency and emphysema/ chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The purpose of the study is to explore the onset of effect of an antihistamine in a controlled environment.
This phase II trial studies how well apalutamide works in treating patients with prostate cancer who are in active surveillance. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using androgen receptor antagonist apalutamide may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells.
The specific objectives of this project are to conduct a randomized control trial to examine the effect of a novel, telehealth parent training intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ImPACT Online, on parent and child outcomes. The investigators will compare the benefits of the self-directed and therapist-assisted delivery formats, and examine moderators and mediators of treatment outcomes. The investigators anticipate that both the self-directed and therapist-assisted models of ImPACT Online will be effective methods for teaching parents to use evidence-based intervention strategies and for increasing parent self-efficacy compared to a web-based information control group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. One-third of participants will be in the therapist-assisted group; one-third will be in the self-directed group; and one-third will be in a web-based information control group.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent among Veterans, and is associated with significant mortality and multiple morbidities. Available treatments have had limited effectiveness in treating OSA and alleviating associated morbidity. The investigators' previous research found a reduction in OSA severity of approximately 25% following modest exercise training. That this effect occurred independent of weight loss raises the exciting possibility that exercise combined with weight loss could reduce OSA by at least 50% and have unique health benefits for OSA patients. Following screening and baseline assessments, 90 overweight Veterans ages 18-60 years with OSA will be randomized to one of three 16-week treatments: (1) exercise training; (2) 10 % weight loss; and 3) exercise + weight loss. Changes in OSA and related morbidity will be compared between treatments.
This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase II study which were to enroll 112 newly diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma patients in a 1:1 fashion. Patients were to enroll at approximately 20 centers in the United States. Patients were to undergo stem cell mobilization with plerixafor plus Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF), according to investigator discretion, after 4 cycles of induction therapy. Study treatment interruption for stem cell collection were not to exceed 30 days. All patients were to receive one additional cycle of study treatment after stem cell collection and then proceed to autologous transplant using melphalan 200mg/m2(140mg/m2 for patients > 70 years), as conditioning. After Autologus Stem Cell Transplant( ASCT), patients still on study were to initiate maintenance therapy within the 60-120 day period following ASCT, provided they have adequate blood count and clinical recovery. Patients in the RVD arm were to initiate maintenance therapy with lenalidomide alone, and patients in RVD-panobinostat arm were to receive lenalidomide + panobinostat maintenance. Lenalidomide were to be dosed orally at 10mg/day continuously in both arms, increasing to 15mg/day after the first 84 day cycle. Panobinostat were to be dosed at 10mg three times a week, every other week. Total planned duration of maintenance therapy were to be 3 years. Patients were to remain on study treatment until they complete the maintenance phase, or until they experience disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or at the discretion of the Investigator.
The primary objective will be to assess overall response rate of nivolumab in patients with metastatic or locally advanced adrenocortical carcinoma. Nivolumab was recently approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. It is considered investigational for the treatment of advanced or refractory adrenocortical carcinoma. "Investigational" means that the drug is not approved by the USFDA or not approved for the indication under investigation. Nivolumab could shrink adrenocortical carcinoma but it could also cause side effects. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will shrink the cancer and hopefully to relieve symptoms that are related to the cancer.
Nearly all migraine sufferers report sensitivity to light during a headache and a significant proportion of sufferers report light sensitivity between attacks. Light is also a common trigger for migraine headaches. Spectacle lenses that have been treated with tints and spectacle lenses that have been treated with thin-films have both been shown to reduce light sensitivity and headache in patients with migraine. At this time, it is not clear which spectacle lens treatment is superior. The purpose of this trial is to determine if there's a significant, therapeutic advantage to either spectacle lens treatment. Both treatments could be a novel, non-invasive adjuvant in the treatment of migraine.
Primary Objective: To determine if dasatinib, an inhibitor of the Src family kinases, can prevent the nuclear translocation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in Stage I-III, nuclear EGFR positive, triple negative breast cancers (TNBC). Secondary Objectives: 1. To examine the safety and tolerability of dasatinib in patients with operable TNBC 2. To explore potential intracellular mechanisms which impact dasatinib effect on cellular localization of EGFR in operable TNBC. 3. To examine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rates to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nEGFR+ TNBC 4. To examine breast cancer recurrence rates and patterns of metastatic recurrent in nEGFR+ TNBC
