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.
Newly developed diagnostic parameters have potential to differentiate between epicardial disease and microvascular dysfunction with the help of anatomical details and physiological endpoints and can be used in present clinical settings.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of single-agent D4064A administered by IV infusion to patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), and fallopian tube cancer (FTC) who have previously received a platinum-containing regimen. The study will enroll up to 56 patients at up to six investigative sites in the United States.
This study will measure the amount of lidocaine and tetracaine in the blood after a 30 minute application of Synera.
This study is designed in two Phases. In phase 1, the Functional Outcome Measure will be tested to determine its validity and reliability in three populations, subjects that have not had a stroke and have no visual field defect, subjects that have had a stroke but do not have a visual field defect, and lastly subjects that have had a stroke and have a visual field defect. The second phase will employ an amended version of the functional outcome measure to be administered to two groups of subjects. The first group of subjects will be those subjects diagnosed with a visual field defect from retrochiasmatic insults and they will perform vision restoration therapy. The second group with a similar diagnosis to the first but who do not undergo vision restoration therapy.
Prospective, interventional cohort study of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to evaluate the upper airway in a cohort of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) surgical patients. This study has investigated the reliability of this technique, demonstrating moderate-substantial interrater and test-retest reliability. This research has also compared DISE findings to those of the lateral cephalogram X-ray and examined DISE findings in individuals who have not responded to previous sleep apnea surgery. These papers have been published and available through PubMed. Additional research is ongoing, with examination of DISE findings, comparison to other evaluation techniques, and the association between DISE findings and surgical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to collect data on the safety and effectiveness of 2nd generation designer T cells in patients with breast cancer. Designer T cells are prepared by collecting white blood cells from the participant, and then modifying these cells in the laboratory so that they recognize the tumor antigen (CEA). These modified cells are then given back to the participant so that they can attack and kill tumor cells.
This study tests the safety and tolerability of autologous anti-PSMA gene-modified T cells (designer T cells) in hormone refractory prostate cancer.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that Preimplantation Genetic diagnosis will significantly reduce spontaneous abortions and increase ongoing pregnancy rates in patients of advanced maternal age (37-42) undergoing IVF. We would like to test this hypothesis by a randomized trial performed with the most suitable conditions using very successful IVF laboratories capable to perform the embryo biopsy under strict controlled conditions after proper training and validation of the techniques.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, single-center, therapeutic trial in patients with AJCC Stage III or IV pancreatic cancer with tumor related abdominal and/or back pain to evaluate the safety of high intensity focused ultrasound therapy using the FEP-BY02 HIFU system for palliation of pancreatic cancer-related pain. Patients meeting all eligibility criteria without any exclusion criteria will be offered an opportunity to participate in the study. After obtaining informed consent a baseline history, physical examination, laboratory studies, and any additional imaging studies needed will be performed. The major theoretic risk to the patient with this procedure is the development of acute pancreatitis. If acute pancreatitis were to develop, it should become clinically evident by day 3 following HIFU ablation. Therefore, the initial phase of this pilot study is designed to allow a sufficient interval between HIFU treatments to identify whether this theoretic risk will manifest clinically. Previous clinical experience in China suggests that HIFU of pancreatic tumors is safe without risk of developing severe acute pancreatitis. Patients treated with HIFU will have approximately 15-20% of the tumor volume treated per session. The first 5 patients (feasibility study) will receive their first HIFU treatment followed by a 3-5 day interval for observation. Following the feasibility study the results will be reviewed with the FDA. If no serious adverse events are encountered, and the FDA agrees with continuing the study, then the next 5 patients will be treated with an interval of 2-3 days between each treatment. If no serious adverse events are encountered in this group, then the next group of 5 patients will be treated at intervals of 1-2 days between each treatment.
Researchers want to find out if urine heavy metal levels are changed in persons who use Mineralox Basic C™ (Mineralox). Mineralox is a zeolite (clinoptilolite) in combination with Vitamin C. Zeolites are natural supplements (nutraceuticals) that work at the cellular level to remove heavy metals and toxins that are accumulated in every day life safely from the body through the urine. The study doctor will give Mineralox to 20 people in this study to see if it helps with the heavy metal removal from the body.
