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.
Study HC-404-FCP-2011 is a first in human, Phase 1a, multi-center, open-label study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral dosing of HC-5404-FU in a dose-escalating fashion. Up to 36 qualified subjects at 3 to 5 US sites, who have specific tumor types of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), gastric cancer (GC), metastatic breast cancer (MBC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and other solid tumors (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, carcinoma of unknown primary) with the exception of rapidly progressing neoplasms (e.g., pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma) will receive HC-5404-FU. Every effort will be made to ensure approximately 50% of all subjects enrolled will be subjects with RCC and GC. The starting dose level is 25 mg twice daily (BID), escalating to 50, 100, and 200 mg BID as safety allows, following the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design. The safety monitoring committee (SMC) will evaluate the DLTs and cumulative safety and PK data at the end of each cohort. Based on the SMC recommendations after a comprehensive review of PK and safety data for 200 mg BID dose, higher dose levels will be evaluated, starting with 400 mg BID. The dose will escalate to 600 mg and then 900 mg following the BOIN design starting with 1 subject at each escalated dose, until the MTD is reached or the sponsor or SMC declares the dose most appropriate for clinical development. This Phase 1a will be expanded into a Phase 1b/2a study through a protocol amendment and will then assess the dose and tumor type(s) selected in Phase 1a as the most appropriate for further clinical development. Subjects will be dosed until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression per immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST), subject withdrawal, any other administrative reasons, or after 2 years of treatment, whichever occurs first. Efficacy will be assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); computed tomography (CT) scans will be conducted every 6 weeks. Safety, including occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), pharmacokinetics (PK), and biomarker parameters will also be assessed.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to determine the unique role of the arts as a proactive mental health strategy for college students in Generation Z. Arts-only, mindfulness-only, and arts-based mindfulness interventions as they compare to a non-intervention control group. These interventions will be delivered using a minimal contact, web-based approach. Psychological and physiological outcomes will be measured to determine if arts-related interventions activate unique and distinguishable mechanisms of change compared to the mindfulness only intervention and non-intervention control groups. In addition, protective effects will be assessed based on student participants' response to an acute academic stress simulation. Qualitative data in the form of transcribed exit interviews will be analyzed to characterize the unique needs of Generation Z students, along with level of engagement, intervention acceptance and satisfaction.
This project aims to evaluate different approaches to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake among at-risk patients at Penn Medicine in an equitable and systematic manner through a centralized outreach program. The investigators will evaluate different text-based scheduling and messaging approaches informed by behavioral science to increase uptake among eligible patients, including the use of clinician endorsement, opt-out framing, and scarcity.
This observational study is intended to evaluate the effect of disease modifying therapies on antibody responses to the mRNA-1273 vaccine (Moderna) for COVID-19. We hypothesize that the use of certain disease modifying therapies, particularly ocrelizumab, will mute and/or shorten the duration of humoral response to mRNA vaccines.
Dexamethasone has been approved for the treatment of severe COVID-19, but higher doses of steroids may be more effective. The purpose of this research study is to compare the current standard dose of dexamethasone 6 mg to a higher, weight-based dosing (0.2 mg/kg with maximum dose of 20 mg) to determine if it would be more effective against COVID-19 pneumonia.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of tezepelumab on improvement in the Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days (UAS7).
Hallux rigidus is a degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint which affect 2.5% of people over the age of 50. As the arthritis progresses, patients pain levels increase and range of motion decreases. Non-operative management includes the use of NSAIDS, intra-articular injections, shoe modification, activity modifications, and physical therapy. Oral NSAID have been used extensively to reduce swelling and pain but have been found unsatisfactory in providing pain relief. Injections have been shown relieve pain in patients with grade 1 MTP arthritis. Shoe modifications and orthotics can modify the biomechanics of the MTP joint and thereby alleviate pain. Based on expert opinions, it seems the Morton extensions may alleviate pain but are also poorly tolerated by patients due to it's uncomfortable shape, coincidently leading to a low patient compliance rate. VKTRY insoles were initially designed to increase ground force leading to a harder push off for faster running or higher jumping. To enable energy return the insole needed to be extremely rigid and therefore consists out of a full-length Carbon-Fiber base. Unexpectedly the Carbon fiber base makes this a highly rigid construct which will likely benefit those patients with MTP arthritis as it will take away much movement of the MTP joint, without having an uncomfortable shape, i.e. patients can use this insole in their own shoes, possibly leading to a higher patient compliance and, simultaneously, to better outcome. Even though this insole is being widely used by athletes, no one has explored its role for treating patients with MTP joint arthritis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the VKTRY insole to the current Morton extension insoles in a blinded randomized controlled trial
170 patients with rotator cuff syndrome will be filmed abducting and flexing their arms before learning a simple maneuver that alleviates most of the pain 90% of the time. They will then be filmed performing the same abduction and flexion of their arms. The patients will rate their pain on the common 10-point pain scale after abducting and flexing their arms before and after the maneuver.
The aim of this study is to understand how TAK-994 is processed by the body. This study will require participants to stay at the clinical research unit for 3 weeks to be monitored after receiving TAK-994.
RGX-314 is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) also referred to as Wet AMD. Wet AMD is characterized by loss of vision due to new, leaky blood vessel formation in the retina. The purpose of this phase 2, open label study is to evaluate whether different doses of RGX-314 from two different formulations (clinical versus eventual commercial formulation) perform the same in humans when delivered by subretinal administration
