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.
A study of the efficacy and safety of Lubiprostone in subjects diagnosed with IBS-M/IBS-U.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether turmeric dietary supplements that are available over the counter for general use in the United States are safe and useful when taken specifically for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and how the active principles in turmeric are broken down and metabolized by the body in individuals with RA.
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety and tolerability of combining varlilumab and atezolizumab. Phase l of the study will enroll patients with a number of tumor types; Phase ll will enroll only patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).* *Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II
About half of all cancer patients seen in oncology clinics have pain at initial assessment; pain relief within a one-month period is seen in approximately one third of these patients and pain worsening in about one fifth. Risk factors for under-treatment of cancer pain include age older than 65 years, minority status, and inadequate pain assessment practices. There is a need for better methods of opioid drug/dose selection and identification of risk factors for worsening pain. Pharmacogenomic approaches offer insight into the genetic variables that impact the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of opioids. Translating pharmacogenomic results into actionable prescribing decisions may ultimately enable a personalized approach to pain management, increasing the chance of significant pain improvement. Cancer outpatients with uncontrolled malignant pain will be offered a pharmacogenomic test through participation in the study. The results of this test will be used to modify their pain regimen, if applicable.
Treatment for head and neck cancer often involves a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. One of the unfortunate consequences of standard care for head and neck cancer is the development of painful mouth sores, known as oral mucositis. This study will evaluate the use of cobiprostone spray to prevent oral mucositis, when given for the duration of radiation and chemotherapy (RT/CT) standard care.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent). Stereotactic radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy, is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a highly aggressive and relatively rare disease. Supportive evidence for the value of systemic therapy does not exist for this disease and there are no agents currently approved by regulatory agencies. This study will evaluate the drug Gilotrif in patients with metastatic progressive PSCC following chemotherapy. Gilotrif has shown supportive evidence in non-small cell lung cancer by inhibiting certain proteins that are also found in PSCC. The drug has the potential for some patients to exhibit a response contributing to a greater quality of life.
Type 2 diabetes results in a host of neuromuscular, muscular, and autonomic system impairments that accelerate age-associated limitations in functional independence and the risk of falls. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) contributes to functional declines in balance and mobility because of limitations metabolic abnormalities. The constellation of impairments accompanying type 2 diabetes diminishes muscle function and performance including strength and power. Loss of strength at higher speeds of movement (deficit in power) occurs in neural activation of muscles, changes in muscle properties, and through in older individuals with DPN compared to older controls. Consequently, this deficit in speed dependent muscle power production leads to limitations in rapidly responding to sudden loss of balance stability to prevent falling. The goal of this pilot research program is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a mechanism-based therapeutic intervention fro improving balance and mobility functions and preventing falls in older adults with DPN. The investigators pan to use the results from this pilot study to design and implement a larger randomized control trial.
This early phase, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of atezolizumab in pediatric and young adult participants with solid tumors for which prior treatment was proven to be ineffective.
The study aligns with the strategic plan of New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) to reduce allogeneic blood product use and decrease unnecessary laboratory costs. One of the NYPH Quality and Patient Safety Goals for 2013 was to improve the appropriate use of transfusion guidelines and reduce unnecessary red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Further, this study will help to answer whether RiaSTAP is a more effective product to treat bleeding than cryoprecipitate. In addition, this trial will provide investigators with preliminary data to apply for future federal funding opportunities, such as the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute sponsored R21 grant (PAR-13-025) that encourages research grant applications from investigators who propose to study research topics in blood banking and transfusion medicine aimed at improving the safety and availability of the blood supply and the practice of transfusion medicine. The investigators anticipate future follow-on studies further investigating fibrinogen concentrate and other similar therapeutics in other perioperative populations, such as in postpartum hemorrhage or surgical ICU settings. Finally, this study involves the use of a safer therapeutic, fibrinogen concentrate, to improve patient care and patient safety. This product does not require the time-intensive process of thawing; therefore, delays in patient care can be avoided by having the product readily available in the OR.
