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.
This study will utilize two validated tools for assessing child development and behavior, to investigate the outcomes for children born preterm compared with those born at full term. Two hundred children born or cared for during the neonatal period at Mount Sinai Hospital will be enrolled. Parents will be asked to complete a behavioral assessment questionnaire, and which will assess development in an examination administered by a trained occupational therapist at Mount Sinai Hospital.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well lenalidomide improves immune response to pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Lenalidomide may also improve the effectiveness of pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine that is used to prevent infection.
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a very rare type of leukemia. Because it is so rare, many doctors do not have experience treating it. APL has been shown to be curable most of the time. Unfortunately, some patients die early after they become sick with APL, sometimes even before starting treatment. The early period is from the time of diagnosis through the first treatments for the disease. This is approximately 30 days. Early deaths are often due to complications caused by of the effects of leukemia and the treatments of it. These complications may not be noticed quickly by doctors who don't have much experience with managing APL. The purpose of this study is to collect information about the diagnosis and management of APL patients by review of their medical records. This information will be stored in a central database at Emory University. This data will be analyzed to discover the impact of increased physician knowledge of recommended management of APL. The goal is to reduce the events of early death of APL patients.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects as many as 14% of women in the United States. Furthermore, the number of pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) is also increasing, mainly due to an increase in the diagnosis of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. A recent study demonstrated that 1.3% of pregnancies are now complicated by PGDM and that PGDM now comprises 21% of the diabetes that complicate gestations, which represents a two fold increase since 1999. One notable side effect of diabetes is an elevation of endogenous ethanol production, which in turn may result in a rise in fetal production of fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE). FAEE found in meconium have been utilized as a marker of prenatal ethanol exposure. Therefore, FAEE elevation could call into question maternal claims of abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy. This study seeks to determine if meconium FAEE levels in the newborns of abstinent women with various classifications of diabetes mellitus are increased when compared to non-diabetic, abstaining controls.
To assess the ability of a novel 3rd generation dual-source CT system to demonstrate myocardial perfusion in a cohort of patients presenting to the Chest Pain Center with acute chest pain.
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a serious, life-threatening, bile acid related liver disease of unknown cause. Without treatment, it frequently progresses to liver fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis requiring liver transplantation or resulting in death. The investigational drug, Obeticholic Acid (OCA) is a modified bile acid and FXR agonist that is derived from the primary human bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid. The key mechanisms of action of OCA, including its choleretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic properties, underlie its hepatoprotective effects and result in attenuation of injury and improved liver function in a cholestatic liver disease such as PBC. The study will assess the effect of OCA compared to placebo, combined with stable standard care, on clinical outcomes in PBC participants.
This investigation plans to initiate the healing of chronic wounds by providing a concentrated platelet and growth factor therapy directly to the wound site by topical delivery. This therapy will be derived from autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP), an emerging surgical and wound care treatment. This investigation aims to demonstrate that patients with chronic, non-healing wounds treated with autologous PRP and standard medical care have a reduction in wound volume and improved healing rate that results in patient-centered clinically significant health outcomes as compared to patients treated with standard medical care only.
This study is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of PF-06412562 following multiple dose administration as MR tablets in healthy adult males.
Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety of vatelizumab in MS patients Secondary Objective: To assess the long-term efficacy of vatelizumab
mTOR kinase is part of the mTORC1 complex that promotes cap-dependent protein translation, and part of the mTORC2 complex that activates AKT. Everolimus (Afinitor) is an allosteric inhibitor of mTOR that suppresses mTORC1 activity. Everolimus is FDA-approved for the treatment of ER+/HER2- breast cancer (in combination with exemestane), renal cell carcinoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), and neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic origin (PNET), and is currently being tested in ongoing clinical studies in other indications. While everolimus-based therapies elicit anti-cancer effects, most cancers ultimately progress and exhibit everolimus resistance. This study will evaluate genetic mechanisms of resistance to everolimus.
