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 pilot clinical trial will evaluate the initial safety and feasibility of intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This trial will inform development of future trials in treatment of PAH. Active drug in capsule form composed of freeze-dried, encapsulated intestinal microbiota from healthy donors will be administered to patients with PAH. This study will also allow for limited evaluation of pharmacokinetics in terms of donor microbiota engraftment and pharmacodynamics in terms of potential mechanisms. It will also allow for limited evaluation of cardiac endurance and function prior to and after IMT.
The purpose of this proof of concept study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the off-label use of Aimovig® (EREN) in reducing Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) pain compared to placebo.
Preventing Pressure Injuries among patients undergoing spinal or orthopedic surgery in the prone position is challenging because of position required for surgical access and limited availability of pressure reduction surfaces for prone position operating tables. A new dressing technology (Mepilex Border Flex® (MBF) provides increased conformability of the dressing to the skin with the ability of the dressing to move in all directions (e.g., 360-degree flexibility) with even slight body movements. Limited data exists on use of silicone foam dressings with all direction flexibility during prone surgical procedures. The investigators will partents scheduled for surgery in the prone position at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center and propose to examine use of the MBF dressings on the chest, iliac crest, and face (chin, cheeks, forehead) of patients undergoing this type of surgery using a prospective, non-randomized pre/post intervention clinical trial design. Three outcome measures will be compared between patients undergoing prone surgery with standard care (no dressings, pressure reduction positioning on the operating table) and those with standard care and use of MBF dressings placed on the chest, iliac crest and face: (1) incidence of erythema and pressure injuries on face, chest and iliac crest determined by visual skin assessment between the two groups, (2) incidence of moisture associated skin damage (MASD) and friction abrasions on face, chest and iliac crest determined by visual skin assessment between the two groups, and (3) SEM measures indicative of pressure injury damage on face, chest, iliac crest between the two groups. The study will also include a 6-month retrospective medical record review of patients who underwent prone surgeries from February 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018 to determine a historical pressure injury facility incident rate. The year 2018 was chosen to avoid changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
We propose to conduct a randomized 6-day isocaloric crossover feeding study in humans with prediabetes and obesity. We will study the effect of restricting the timing of caloric intake to earlier in the day (TRF) versus later in the day (usual feeding pattern, UFP) on glycemia and inflammation in an inpatient setting.
The Embody retinol study is a single-arm clinical trial on skin aging prevention and adult acne. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a retinol gummy in adults aged 18-45 on skin aging and overall skin health.
This study is being conducted to determine if patients with compromised B-cell function due to anti-CD20 therapy and newly diagnosed COVID-19 infection benefit from convalescent plasma.
This is pilot study of the immunologic effects of intradermal Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination of adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), non-CF bronchiectasis (NCFB), and healthy volunteers.
STUDY DESIGN Structure: Multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, parallel group study. Duration: 3 months of TID treatment. Treatment Groups, Dosing, and Treatment Regimen: Study Treatment: CBT-006 topical ophthalmic solution Control Treatment: CBT-006 vehicle
This was an open-label, randomized, dose-finding study in patients with primary or secondary MF (Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System [DIPSS] risk score of Intermediate-1 to High-Risk) who were previously treated with ruxolitinib. The study was designed to support a pacritinib dosage selection decision with evaluation of 3 dosages.
The proposed study will provide critical information on Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) design characteristics that promote retention in a vulnerable and under-represented population in research-youth experiencing homelessness. The study will use an EMA app to collect substance use, mood, craving, social surroundings, and trauma measures over a 14-day period in youth age 18-24 (n=40) recruited from Star House, a homeless youth drop-in center. Youth will be randomized in 2x2 factorial design (fixed incentive model vs. prize-based model; random assessment 3x vs. 6x per day).
