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.
Pyridostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which degrades acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Based on recent studies, pyridostigmine may be an effective adjuvant treatment for people with Pompe disease, as it increases the functional impact of this neurotransmitter. Hypothesis: the use of pyridostigmine in Pompe disease will improve transmission of acetylcholine across the neuromuscular junction, skeletal muscle function, respiratory function, and quality of life.
This study was originally designed as a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study, using a placebo control or amatuximab 5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), administered weekly, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of amatuximab in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin in participants with unresectable Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) who have not received prior systemic therapy. Per a business decision made by the Sponsor, participants who were randomized to amatuximab and were still on active treatment at the time of the protocol amendment may have consented to continue to receive weekly treatment with amatuximab until disease progression or intolerable toxicity at the discretion of the principal investigator. Participants randomized to placebo or who were in follow-up at the time of the amendment have been discontinued from the study.
This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of training while in a hyperoxic-hyperbaric environment for exercise performance at altitude. Subjects will complete a short, high-intensity interval training (HIT) program inside the hyperbaric chamber.Before and after this training phase, all subjects will be tested for maximum aerobic capacity at a simulated high altitude of 15,000ft in a hypobaric chamber, as well as for molecular markers of mitochondrial oxidative capacity in a skeletal muscle biopsy. A group of individuals of similar characteristics completing this training program in a normoxic-normobaric environment will serve as a control.
This is a post-approval, multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LAP-BAND® AP System in a lower obese population (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2) with one or more obesity-related comorbidity up to 10 years after implantation. The reason your study has been terminated is based on the availability of long-term safety and effectiveness data from the OSB Lead-HERo-002 study and published literature.
Background: - Isolated (or Congenital) GnRH Deficiency (IGD) is a rare disease. People who have this go through puberty late. Some never reach puberty or don t complete it without treatment. They also may have an impaired sense of smell or other health problems. Research shows that disorders like this can have a negative effect on a person s psychological profile. Objective: - To understand the psychological outcomes in people with IGD. These can include depression, anxiety, poor health, and poor social function. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and over with IGD. They must be currently on a full dose of hormone replacement therapy for at least 3 months. - Healthy adult volunteers. Design: - Participants will get a username and password. This will give them access to questions online. They can do this from any computer connected to the Internet. - Participants will log in and complete the questionnaires. There are 5 total, but they will appear as 1 continuous set of questions. Answering them takes about 1 hour or less. - The first set is about the participant s disorder. The rest ask about depression, anxiety, global health, and social function. - All answers will be used for research and to better understand reproductive disorders. Only researchers from the NIH Unit on Genetics of Puberty and Reproduction and from this study will know which answers belong to which participant.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of cure and recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection in spinal cord injured patients who are treated with oral Fidaxomicin vs. oral Vancomycin. The secondary aim of this study is to compare the overall costs of treatment of Clostridium difficile infection in the two study groups.
For the target population of adult patients following primary total hip arthroplasty, the randomized clinical trial will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the use of a mobile negative pressure wound therapy(NPWT) device compared to a standard absorptive dressing in the immediate postoperative period. We will apply two dressing types and evaluate the postoperative wounds with a wound scoring system (ASEPSIS) that incorporates multiple variables of wound infection risk.
The EXPAND Registry Study follows patients with cutaneous melanoma who have had the DecisionDx-Melanoma gene expression assay performed as part of their clinical care. Data will be collected through review of medical records from clinical visits with physician. The purpose is to document the clinical application of results obtained from the DecisionDx- Melanoma multi-gene assay and to track outcomes of patients for whom DecisionDx-Melanoma testing has been completed. Additionally the study will assess the health economic impact of DecisionDx-Melanoma testing as it relates to the Melanoma population.
