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 phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of IRX-2 when given together with cyclophosphamide and nivolumab in treating patients with liver cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body and does not response to treatment. Biological therapies, such as IRX-2, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving IRX-2, cyclophosphamide, and nivolumab may work better than the IRX?2 regimen alone in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of walking intensity on both frailty category (i.e., frail, pre-frail, and nonfrail) and frailty score as a continuous outcome on the SHARE-FI (frailty instrument). As well as test the effect of walking intensity on mobility, physical function, balance, and total Physical Activity.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate, and bosutnib, dasatinib, imatinib or nilotinib, work in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Chronic myeloid leukemia cells produce a protein called BCR-ABL. The BCR-ABL protein helps chronic myeloid leukemia cells to grow and divide. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as bosutinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib, stop the BCR-ABL protein from working, which helps to reduce the amount of chronic myeloid leukemia cells in the body. Ruxolitinib is a different type of drug that helps to stop the body from making substances called growth factors. Chronic myeloid leukemia cells need growth factors to grow and divide. The addition of ruxolitinib to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor may or may not help reduce the amount of chronic myeloid leukemia cells in the body.
The proposed research will conduct a fully-powered efficacy trial of this approach in areas with large populations of AA and H/L MSM and high HIV incidence: Jackson, MS, Los Angeles, CA, and Boston, MA. High-risk MSM who have not tested for HIV in the last year will be recruited from MSM-oriented "hook-up" mobile apps, and assigned to receive either (1) HBST with post-test phone counseling/referral ("eTEST" condition), (2) "standard" HBST without active follow-up, or (3) reminders to get tested for HIV at a local clinic ("control" condition) at three month intervals over the course of 12 months. The investigators will explore the impact of the eTEST system on key outcomes, including rates of HIV testing, receipt of additional HIV prevention services, and PrEP initiation, compared with standard HBST or clinic-based testing reminders alone. The investigators will also explore the cost effectiveness of the eTEST system under various scenarios compared with relying on traditional, clinic-based testing alone.
This phase II trial studies the effects of a soy bread versus a wheat bread in improving immune function in participants who are beginning a course of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Components found in soy foods may influence the immune system in a way that may be beneficial for prostate cancer prevention and survivorship.
This is a first-in-human, phase I clinical research study with TT-00420, an investigational, oral, multi-target, dual mechanism kinase inhibitor targeting both mitosis and tumor micro-environment, for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and other advanced solid tumors. The study consists of a dose escalation part followed by a MTD expansion part.
This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study seeks to test whether simvastatin, a statin usually used to lower cholesterol to prevent heart problems and strokes, can lower the risk of hepatic decompensation (developing symptoms of cirrhosis) in U.S. Veterans who have compensated cirrhosis (the liver is scarred and damaged but there are no symptoms). The study will also explore how changes or differences in genes effect the safety and effectiveness of using statins and how the use of statins affects quality of life.
This proposal seeks to determine whether near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can differentiate between patients with confirmed SAMS and those with non-specific muscle complaints. NIRS is a non-invasive technique of assessing skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation and mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a possible cause of SAMS, but NIRS has never been evaluated as a diagnostic tool for SAMS. Investigators will enroll 40 patients with a history of SAMS in an 8 wk randomized, double-blind crossover trial of simvastatin 20 mg/d and placebo separated by a 4 wk washout phase. Tissue oxygenation will be measured using NIRS during a short handgrip exercise protocol before and after each treatment period. Investigators will query patients about muscle complaints weekly during both phases of the study with a validated survey to assess muscle pain. Investigators will classify patients as testing positive for SAMS if they report pain on simvastatin and not placebo. Investigators hypothesize that these patients, vs. patients experiencing pain on both treatments, placebo, or neither treatment, will be distinguished by reduced tissue oxygenation during simvastatin treatment relative to placebo, demonstrating efficacy of NIRS as a clinical tool that can be eventually used for the diagnosis and ultimately treatment of SAMS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of zolbetuximab plus capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) compared with placebo plus CAPOX (as first-line treatment) as measured by Progression Free Survival (PFS). This study will also evaluate efficacy, physical function, safety, and tolerability of zolbetuximab, as well as its effects on quality of life. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of zolbetuximab and the immunogenicity profile of zolbetuximab will be evaluated as well.
This is an open label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study in approximately eight adults with severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using BIVV003.
