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 single-arm observational study to determine the feasibility of assessing tumor response utilizing Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients of with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) undergoing standard-of-care total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) consisting of systemic chemotherapy (modified FOLFOX or modified FOLFIRINOX) followed by concurrent chemoradiation (50.4 Gy over approximately six weeks with concurrent radiosensitizing dose of capecitabine/5-fluorouracil).
SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
This is a prospective observational study on patients who undergo an ileostomy creation after implementing a hydration algorithm as routine care at Robert Packer Hospital. The Department of Surgery will be implementing a protocol to prevent dehydration for patients with high output ileostomies. Patients with high output ileostomies are at an increased risk for readmission for dehydration. By reviewing the data after applying this standardized hydration protocol, we can assess its efficacy on readmission rates and comorbidities stemming from dehydration.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether combining meal, glucose and insulin data in a web-based system will improve management of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). No study drug will be given. The study will last about 18 weeks.
An early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the PLAR Implant and Delivery System to treat severe functional mitral regurgitation and to gather preliminary data on its performance thereby providing guidance for future clinical development. The study is a single-arm registry with the last follow-up visit at 5 years post-intervention. The study will enroll up to 10 patients at up to 4 centers in North America.
This phase II trial studies the effects of ibrutinib in treating patients with B-cell malignancies who are infected with COVID-19. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ibrutinib is a first in class Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. This study is being done to determine if taking ibrutinib after contracting COVID-19 will make symptoms better or worse.
A pilot study to determine if a simple blood test can predict patients at risk for significant episodes of confusion and disorientation that can occur in patients who receive an artificial shunt through the liver to control complications of liver disease.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of acalabrutinib treatment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) deemed at high risk for Richter's Transformation (RT). This is a single arm study. Enrolled patients will initiate therapy with acalabrutinib and will dose continuously. While on study, subjects will be monitored monthly for the first 3 months, then every three months thereafter until disease progression, discontinuation due to toxicity, death, or study completion.
This is the first clinical trial of Endourage OMD 1200 for persons desiring to reduce their alcohol consumption.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Suppression of male hormone levels by using GnRH agonist ("hormone blocking therapy") for a few years is routinely used to treat prostate cancer. While the treatment is very effective, it decreases muscle mass and increases fat mass. This results in a decrease in insulin action (also called insulin resistance) and increases the likelihood of diabetes. It may also contribute to risk of developing heart disease. The investigators propose to conduct a trial that will:- 1. study the mechanisms through which GnRH agonists cause insulin resistance. 2. Evaluate a treatment that can decrease insulin resistance. This is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind trial. Forty-four men with prostate cancer will be recruited in the trial before starting GnRH agonist therapy. Participants will undergo metabolic studies to evaluate insulin action (called insulin clamp), abdominal fat tissue biopsy to study insulin action at the cellular level and blood draws. The study volunteers will then be given either a placebo tablet or pioglitazone tablet to take once a day for the next six months. The metabolic tests, blood test and fat tissue biopsy will be obtained again at the end of the study.
