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.
The study is a prospective pilot patients aged 21 to 65 undergoing screening colonoscopy or diagnostic upper endoscopy. Patients are administered minimal sedation (2 mg of Versed and 25 mg of Fentanyl) and are given Virtual Reality (VR) goggles to wear for the duration of the procedure. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, effect, and safety of using VR goggles during endoscopic procedures to decrease sedation requirements, enhance patient satisfaction, and reduce recovery time.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 mechanistic clinical trial designed to evaluate the therapeutic neural mechanisms of psilocybin in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), and to determine whether further studies are warranted to study the relationship of any such effects to clinical improvement in AUD symptoms. The primary aims are to evaluate the effects of psilocybin on AUD; measures will include 1) fMRI neural activation and functional connectivity, using a well-validated task to characterize neural and subjective response to negative affective and alcohol visual stimuli; 2) alcohol use data (self-report and blood biomarkers); and 3) self-report measures related the NE, IS, and EF domains.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a reduced radiation protocol (RRP) in which angiograms are acquired at ultralow radiation doses and then processed using spatiotemporal enhancement software can produce similar quality angiographic images as compared with standard techniques.
Continue development of previously established methods to further validate candidate biomarkers that can discriminate steatosis from NASH and separately stage fibrosis from blood. The first assessment is to conduct test method verification to expand sample size to several hundred samples through whole genome sequencing methods. The second assessment is focused on biomarker validation by comparing targeted sequencing from patient plasma. Several sub- assessments will be conducted to support overall biomarker development efforts.
This project aims to implement an adapted self-affirmation intervention among a population of individuals with diabetes to reduce the negative psychosocial impacts of stigma. In a self-affirmation, participants are guiding through a writing exercise writing designed to reinforce sources of self-worth before they encounter or engage in stressful or stigmatizing events. Participants in this study will be asked to complete self-affirmation exercises before their 3-month wellness appointments with their endocrinologists over the course of a year. The main questions the investigators are asking are: - Will self-affirmation reduce feelings of stigmatization? - Will self-affirmation increase self-efficacy and motivation to engage in condition management behaviors. - Will self-affirmation improve blood glucose control. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. Participants in the waitlist control condition will also complete writing exercises but they will be abbreviated (this in the psychological literature is referred to as a "low affirmation condition"). At the end of the study, waitlist control participants will have access to the full exercise should they like to receive it. After each appointment and self-affirmation, participants will complete surveys assessing feelings of stigma and motivation to engage in condition management. All participants will already be using continuous glucose monitors. The investigators will compare both survey responses and continuous glucose data between our conditions to assess the efficacy of the self-affirmation intervention.
This Phase II hybrid decentralized trial will examine the effect of daratumumab-based quadruplet induction therapy administered at an attenuated schedule in subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are eligible for standard-of-care autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-RVd) have recently become a standard induction regimen for patients with NDMM who are eligible for ASCT in the United States. As implemented in clinical trials, Dara-RVd involves twice weekly bortezomib administration, which is inconvenient for patients and may result in increased rates of limiting toxicity, such as peripheral neuropathy. Adoption of alternate schedules involving once-weekly bortezomib is common in real-world practice, however a paucity of prospective data supporting this practice exists. This study examines the efficacy of an attenuated Dara-RVd schedule involving once-weekly bortezomib dosing.
Doctors leading this study would like to learn about providing cancer treatment/therapies to Nigerian women with breast cancer based on their human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. This study will focus on the efficacy and safety of anti-HER2 cancer treatment before and after surgery.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of talquetamab in combination with iberdomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). There is currently a significant unmet need for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who are triple class refractory and have been exposed to B-cell maturation antibody (BCMA) targeted therapy. These patients currently have limited treatment options and poor survival. Talquetamab is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat RRMM when given alone. Talquetamab can bring T-cells to the myeloma cell, resulting in myeloma cell death. Iberdomide is an investigational drug. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to treat certain types of cancer including myeloma. Giving talquetamab in combination with iberdomide and dexamethasone may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with RRMM
The purpose of this study is to achieve health and healthcare equity by implementing an equity-focused, mindfulness-based sleep intervention to reduce stress and sleep deficiency-related cardiometabolic disease burden in Black women.
The purpose of this research is to explore whether a single-session therapy visit may be of interest to patients seeking mental health services in Mayo Clinic's Integrated Behavioral Health program and whether a single-session therapy visit may be helpful in improving mental health. Researchers hope to better understand whether single-session visits could be a helpful option to offer patients in the future.
