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 is a survey of members of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), to describe and explore current patterns of their decisions about withholding or continuation for patients taking aspirin (ASA) in the perioperative period. Secondarily, the survey will also explore surgeons' knowledge about the risks and benefits attending this decision, and about national organizations' recommendations.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Gambro Prismaflex® HF20 Set based on testing the hypothesis that it delivers sufficient renal replacement therapy to effectively treat acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric patients by reducing blood urea nitrogen (BUN).
The purpose of the SI Joint Fusion and Decortication Using the SImmetry System study is to evaluate the SImmetry Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System for fusion of the SI joint and relief of SI joint pain symptoms.
This study is for men who have prostate cancer and have failed local therapy or are not a candidate for prostatectomy or radiation therapy. The purpose of this research study is to assess the safety and benefit of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT, blocks hormones) plus chemotherapy. Degarelix is the hormone blocking drug that will be used. Doxorubicin, Ketoconazole, Docetaxel and Estramustine are the chemotherapy drugs that will be used. The drugs used in this study are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants will be treated with ADT plus chemotherapy for three, four, or five 8-week cycles (12, 18, or 24 months). The number of cycles of chemotherapy they receive and the number of months they receive ADT will be based on their disease. The current standard treatment is ADT and chemotherapy. What differs in this research study is the cycling and combination of chemotherapy drugs chosen. The drugs chosen for this study have fewer side effects and are believed to provide maximum benefit.
This trial is for people with bladder cancer that has spread. The purpose of this research study is to see if the chemotherapy combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin plus paclitaxel is safe and effective treatment for bladder cancer. Paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin have all been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Gemcitabine and cisplatin is a standard treatment for bladder cancer. There have been studies that show that paclitaxel and cisplatin have antitumor activity in bladder cancer. European researchers studied paclitaxel, gemcitabine and cisplatin (same drug combination in this trial) and found that the combination provided good disease control and was well tolerated. Investigators are studying the same drug combination, but at different dosages and schedule.
This is for subjects with metastatic Renal Cell Cancer (RCC). There are four Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for first-line therapy of Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) and two for second-line therapy. Each of these drugs targets a specific molecular pathway. At present oncologists select therapy based on current guidelines. There is a new method for trying to use biomarker information from the subject's tumor to select the best drug to treat the subject. This process is investigational, which is why this study is being done. Biomarkers are genes, proteins and other molecules that affect how cancer cells grow, multiply, die and respond to other compounds in the body. These biomarkers build a tumor profile or "fingerprint" of the subject's tumor. A new focus in cancer care is personalized treatment, where doctors select a drug based on the subject's tumor's unique "fingerprint" which is more likely to be effective in fighting the tumor. Selecting the treatment the subject is more likely to respond to requires a thorough understanding of the relationship between biomarker and treatment effect. The PI wants to gather data to understand that relationship to help treat future cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of treatments that are selected based on tumor profiles.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of linaclotide for the treatment of Irritable Bowel syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), in children age 7-17 years. This study includes up to a 4-week Screening Period, and a 2 to 3-week Pretreatment Period. Patients age 7-11 will receive oral liquid or oral solid capsule and patients 12-17 will receive solid oral capsule formulation. Children ages 7-11 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 3 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. Children ages 12-17 years meeting the entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of 4 doses of linaclotide or placebo for 4 weeks. This 4-week study will assess the effects of linaclotide on bowel movement frequency, as well as other bowel symptoms of IBS-C.
This is an open-label, Phase 1b, platform study in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study will be divided into 3 parts (Part 1a, Part 1b, and Part 2). Part 1a will evaluate a JAK inhibitor with JAK1 selectivity (Itacitinib) in combination with an IDO1 inhibitor (epacadostat; INCB024360; Group A) and Itacitinib in combination with a PI3K-delta inhibitor (INCB050465; Group B) to determine the MTD or PAD and the recommended Part 1b doses for each combination. Once the recommended dose has been identified for each treatment group in Part 1a, subjects with advanced solid tumors will be enrolled into expansion cohorts based upon prior treatment history with a PD-1 pathway-targeted agent (Part 1b). In Part 2, additional expansion cohorts will be enrolled to further evaluate lower doses of itacitinib and INCB050465 in subjects with select tumor types.
This study will test the ability of an immune modulator, anti-OX40 (MEDI6469) to alter the immune cell environment within colorectal cancer metastases. The drug will be administered to patients before surgical treatment.
The purpose of Part 1 (Phase 1b) is to evaluate the general safety and tolerability of repeated 21-day cycles of AL3818 therapy, and to reevaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The purpose of Part 2 (Phase 2a) is to evaluate the efficacy of repeated 21-day cycles of AL3818 therapy preliminary efficacy of AL3818 in subjects with recurrent or metastatic endometrial, ovarian or cervical cancer.
