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.
Smoking rates among public housing residents are more than twice as high as in the general population. In August 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required all public housing in the U.S. to become smoke-free. While HUD recommended that Public Housing Authorities provide smoking cessations services, at present, the D.C. Housing Authority (DCHA) does not offer any cessation services to its residents. Low-income smokers face unique challenges to smoking cessation and require sustained support for smoking cessation. Digital interventions such as text messaging programs and quitline (QL) phone counseling are scalable, evidence-based interventions for smoking cessation that can provide support over an extended timeframe at low cost. The aim of this proposed research is to conduct a feasibility trial to assess the acceptability, levels of engagement, and preliminary efficacy of an integrated program that combines text-messaging for smoking cessation and text messages providing proactive linkage to the quitline compared to a single passive quitline text message referral among DCHA residents. The investigators hypothesize that the integrated program (combining text messages for smoking cessation and proactive quitline linkage) will yield significantly higher rates of quit attempts than passive quitline referral only.
This study aims to evaluate if the application of chlorhexidine gluconate dressing on surgical drain sites can decrease drain site infection vs the standard of care (dry, sterile gauze).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-64304500 as add-on therapy to standard of care (SOC) biologic treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha or anti-interleukin 12/23 inhibitors in participants with active Crohn's disease in response but not remission to SOC biologic therapy.
This phase Ib trial evaluates the best dose and effect of glasdegib in combination with venetoclax and decitabine, or gilteritinib, bosutinib, ivosidenib, or enasidenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) after stem cell transplantation. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Glasdegib, bosutinib, ivosidenib, and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Glasdegib inhibits the Sonic the Hedgehog gene. Venetoclax inhibits BCL-2 gene. Bosutinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits BCR-ABL gene fusion. Ivosidenib inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 gene or IDH-1. Enasidenib inhibits isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 gene or IDH-2. This study involves an individualized approach that may allow doctors and researchers to more accurately predict which treatment plan works best for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
The objective of this study is to determine the effects of electrical brain stimulation (EBS) on visual search in natural scenes in humans.
This is a single-center, blinded, placebo-controlled pilot RCT evaluating corticosteroids for the treatment of Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) that will enroll 100 adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia. The primary goal is to assess the feasibility of proposed trial procedures for use in a subsequent phase III trial powered on 6-month cognitive outcome (MOCA-Blind score). Key outcomes are six-month cognitive and functional status, duration and severity of symptoms, and mortality.
This is a single-center, observational study of Tolsura PK sampling in lung transplant recipients
This trial is a randomized, 2-arm, phase II study to determine the effect, if any, of the timing of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) relative to immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO) therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread (metastasized) to the brain.
Background: About one-third to one-half of all people dying of extrathoracic malignant diseases have cancer that has spread to the lungs. Surgery may help some people. But most people with pulmonary metastases do not survive long. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help. Objective: To find a safe dose of Azacytidine, when taken as a fine mist that is inhaled (aerosolized Azacytidine), together with Bintrafusp Alfa to treat cancers that have spread to the lungs. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have cancer that has spread to the lungs, cannot be cured with surgery, and has not responded to standard treatments. Design: Participants will get Azacytidine by breathing treatments once a day for 3 days each week, for 3 weeks. The 3-week period is 1 cycle. Each course of treatment is 3 cycles. Once per cycle, participants will get Bintrafusp Alfa via IV. An IV is a small tube that is put into an arm vein. Participants will keep a diary of any side effects. Participants can take the study drugs for as long as they can continue treatment. Participants will have medical histories and physical exams. They will give blood, urine, and lung lining fluid samples. Tumor samples will be taken via bronchoscopy. They will have lung function tests. Participants will have an imaging scan that shows how spray particles move in their airway when they inhale. They will have tumor imaging scans of the chest and brain. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after they stop treatment....
IV placement is necessary for surgical procedures. Unfortunately, some patients say that placing an IV is painful. The investigators are conducting this study to evaluate two techniques that could make the placement of the IV more comfortable.
