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.
Observational, multi-center, retrospective study to evaluate the use of ICM (implantable cardiac monitor) versus traditional, non-ICM (non-implantable cardiac monitor) methods such as ECGs (electrocardiogram), Holter, and mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) units.
A validation study has been designed to assess the performance of a home sleep test device, TipTraQ, for screening sleep apnea. The study involves participants wearing the TipTraQ device on their fingertip during a traditional sleep test, known as polysomnography (PSG), conducted in a sleep center. The performance of the device will then be evaluated by comparing the results from the TipTraQ system with those from the traditional sleep test.
Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) have neurogenic bowel disorders which is associated with significant morbidity. The negative impact of bowel complications is often at the top of the list of problems reported by persons with SCI. Despite the magnitude of the problem of bowel dysfunction in persons with SCI, and the associated reduction in quality of life, this condition has yet to be effectively treated. The investigators have developed a novel dual drug combination to elicit a safe and predictable bowel evacuation (BE). The ability to move the bowel contents along to the rectum was severely impaired primary because of poor gut contractions on the left side of the colon, as shown by our team of investigators. To address this problem, a dual medication combination (neostigmine and glycopyrrolate) was developed that safely and predictably caused the bowel to empty after delivering these drugs into a vein (intravenously) or into the muscle bed (intramuscularly). Because no one likes needles, and because of the practical limits of administering medications on a routine basis by the use of needles, especially in persons with SCI because of their other health considerations, the investigators have devised a new approach: driving these medications across the skin and into the circulation of the body by applying an electrical current that is too small to feel (iontophoresis). The proposed research project to determine the safety of positively charged compounds (e.g., vitamin B12, NEO, and GLY) administered transcutaneously by the prototype wireless ION device and to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of transcutaneous administration of NEO and GLY by the wireless ION device to a commercially available wired ION device. The potential administration of any number of other positively charged agents by this wireless prototype may be a clinically relevant outcome of this work. The ability to use a wireless ION device is far more practical for patients to use, especially those with SCI, which will permit the self-administration of these agents in the home setting to induce a bowel evacuation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women aged 50-75 years old who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? - Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)
Adult subjects with a history of or currently taking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication and moderate-to-severe cheek wrinkles and midface contour deficiencies will be treated with Sculptra correction of fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek area and Restylane Lyft or Restylane Contour for cheek augmentation and correction of midface contour deficiencies.
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug currently known as Azenosertib (ZN-C3) in combination with the drugs carboplatin and pembrolizumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Azenosertib (a type of WEE1 inhibitor) - Carboplatin (a type of platinum compound) - Pembrolizumab (a type of monoclonal antibody)
The purpose of this study is to find out if oral decitabine-cedazuridine (Inqovi®) is effective, safe, and able to be tolerated without severe side effects when given with thioguanine (Tabloid®) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) whose disease has returned or did not respond to treatment (relapsed or refractory). This is a "phase II trial with a safety lead-in." The goal of the lead-in portion of the study is to make sure participants are getting the highest dose of medications that are safe. If too many serious side effects are seen with the dose previously studied, some additional patients may be treated with a lower dose to make sure that this dose is safe.
This clinical trial aims to understand the feasibility of patients taking ketone body supplement beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) for 4 weeks with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease and starting new therapy for active disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - BHB supplementation will be feasible and acceptable to patients. - BHB supplementation will be associated with a reduction in systemic inflammation. - BHB supplementation will be associated with a reduction in pro-inflammatory bacterial colonies. Participants will: - Take 3 capsules x 3 times per day for 4 weeks. - Document food consumption using a 24-hour food recall questionnaire. - Provide blood and fecal samples twice, at the beginning of the study and the 4-week mark. Researchers will compare the group taking the ketone body supplement and the group not taking the supplement to see if the supplement provides relief of symptoms suffered from Crohn's disease.
To examine the relations between sleep (nap transitions, sleep physiology), memory, and brain development longitudinally, the researchers will assess n=180 children (in order to acquire n=152 usable data sets) who are 36-54 months of age and habitual nappers at enrollment. In each wave, the researchers will assess memory, memory change over a nap and equivalent waking interval, sleep physiology of the nap, and brain structure and function (using Magnetic Resonance Imagining or MRI). Additionally, overnight sleep physiology will be assessed in all participants. Waves will take place approximately every 6 months. For all children, three waves will be collected. With these data, the researchers will address the following aims: - Examine neural markers that predict the sleep transition (Aim 1); - Examine changes in sleep-dependent memory processing (mnemonic discrimination) over both nap and overnight sleep intervals, across the sleep transition (Aim 2); - Examine changes in sleep microstructure in both nap and overnight sleep across the sleep transition (Aim 3) - Examine interrelations among brain, memory and sleep microstructure across the sleep transition (Aim 4)
The purpose of this study is to further understand the factors involved in increasing lung cancer screening.
