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 measure changes in cognitive (mental) function in cancer survivors using a brief, reliable, game-like set of tests that can be completed outside the clinic, as an alternative to traditional neurocognitive assessments. This set of computerized tests, the Cogsuite Assessment, is expected to improve our ability to identify cognitive impairments in people who have been treated for cancer, so that we can (1) learn more about which cognitive functions are affected by cancer treatment, and (2) guide that treatment more effectively.
This is an single arm, open label, interventional phase II trial evaluating the efficacy of umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) expanded in culture with stimulatory cytokines (SCF, Flt-3L, IL-6 and thromopoietin) on lympho-hematopoietic recovery. Patients will receive a uniform myeloablative conditioning and post-transplant immunoprophylaxis.
This trial studies the effectiveness of patient navigators in facilitating weight management in obese participants. Health coaches or patient navigators may help more participants take part in weight management programs.
This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial to investigate the clinical impact of a preemptive pharmacogenomics strategy to guide antidepressant therapy in cancer patients. Those enrolled onto the clinical trial will be randomized to either DNA-guided choice of therapy or clinical management alone. Scores on self-reported measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms along with quality of life will be compared between cohorts.
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) after having an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT).
This research addresses the important public health crisis that people with serious mental illness (SMI) are dying10-20 years younger than the average population, primarily due to chronic, untreated medical conditions. This proposal tests the feasibility, acceptability, engagement of target mechanisms, and preliminary effectiveness of a peer-led and peer-developed intervention to improve the health and wellness of people with SMI by addressing underlying social determinants of health. This research will provide key information about target mechanisms underlying peer interventions and establish the evidence needed to advance to a full scale clinical trial.
Mobility refers to a person's purposeful movement through the environment from one place to another and can be conceptualized as a continuum from bed bound (immobility) on one extreme to making excursions to distant locations on the other extreme. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy that can lead to gradual loss of vision in the peripheral field and central vision. Older adults with POAG have an increased risk for motor vehicle collisions and falls. Moreover, existing studies suggest that patients with POAG exhibit more postural sway while standing as measured by a balance platform and also tend to walk more slowly than those who are normally sighted and free of ocular disease. While these disturbances likely influence mobility, there has been little research directly assessing the impact of POAG on mobility. This study will assess the impact of POAG on life space (one aspect of mobility) and will determine whether difficulties with life space are associated with difficulties experienced under conditions of dim lighting.
This is a 2-arm, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of ripretinib to sunitinib in GIST patients who progressed on or were intolerant to first-line anticancer treatment with imatinib. Approximately 426 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to ripretinib 150 mg once daily (continuous dosing for 6 week cycles) or sunitinib 50 mg once daily (6 week cycles, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off).
The present study aims at refining the understanding of the effect of pregnancy on breast cancer outcomes in the specific population of BRCA mutated patients with known history of breast cancer.
The objectives of this study are: 1. The investigators plan to evaluate and validate the use of a novel wireless insole device (Loadsol) that provides real-time biofeedback on post-operative mobility and weight bearing following total joint arthroplasty. 2. The investigators plan to utilize the wireless insole device to determine if biofeedback is sufficient for improving gait symmetry following total joint arthroplasty. 3. The investigators plan to determine if there is a correlation between patient reported outcomes and measured postoperative weight bearing.
