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 Phase 3 study will evaluate APP13007 in comparison to the matching vehicle placebo in a randomized, parallel-group, double-masked fashion. The subjects will have undergone routine cataract surgery on Day 0 of the study and will be assessed the next day (Post-operative Day 1; POD1) after uncomplicated surgery for eligibility for randomization to study treatment.
Food insecurity (FI), limited access to food due to a lack of money or other resources, affected an estimated 14% households with children in the US in 2018. Multiple national organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have identified adverse childhood outcomes that are strongly correlated with FI, and the AAP recommends that physicians universally screen for and address FI, but screening for FI has primarily been addressed in the outpatient setting. Recent data demonstrates rising FI needs related to COVID-19 pandemic. There is limited information regarding screening and interventions for inpatient FI, defined as the inability to obtain adequate food during hospitalization. Previous work performed a cross-sectional study of 200 caregivers of hospitalized children in Chicago, Illinois, estimated the prevalence of inpatient FI to be 32%. Locally, work by Drs. Alice Lee, Lopez, and Bocchini identified hospital food insecurity (FI) in 43% of the caregivers of hospitalized children (Lee, Alice, et al. "Food Insecurity in the Caregivers of Hospitalized Pediatric Patients." Pediatrics 2018: 481-481.) . The investigators also found a strong association between inpatient and household food insecurity. Hospital food insecurity has a profound effect on caregiver's ability to participate in caring for their children during the hospitalization. Currently, there is not a valid screening tool to address inpatient food insecurity and there is a paucity of data on the effects of FI interventions implemented in the hospital setting. Additionally, there is new data from the COVID Impact Survey and The Hamilton Project/Future of the Middle Class Initiative Survey of Mothers with Young Children demonstrating that FI prevalence has more than doubled in household with children.
The study's purpose is to demonstrate the ability of an mHealth platform as a feasible way of sharing information in a time of restricted movement in order to inform future studies.
The EpiGlare Tester will identify visual disability resulting from the glare experienced by subjects with cataracts in the glare-induced change in best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA).
The purpose of this research study is to investigate brain insulin's relationship with food intake in African Americans. Facilitating insulin's entrance into the brain through a nasal spray is currently being studied as a way to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease. However, brain insulin may also have an impact on food intake. This study is designed to help researchers understand how different factors related to Alzheimer's disease (i.e. APOE genotype and cognitive functioning) influence brain insulin's relationship with food intake.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death for women over the age of 25, accounting for 1 of every 3 female deaths. Research has shown that while hypertension in women is less controlled, they are also less likely to be identified with ischemic heart disease and when diagnosed treated less aggressively than men. Moreover, women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The Women's Assessed Cardiovascular Evaluation with MCG (WACE-MCG) study is designed to collect CardioFlux scans on a select group of female volunteers who are Ms. Medicine patients. CardioFlux is used as a noninvasive MCG tool that analyzes and records the magnetic fields of the heart to detect various forms of heart disease. There will be a 12-month duration of the study where we propose to collect screening data from approximately 200 volunteers who present to the Genetesis facility for a 5-minute CardioFlux MCG scan. The volunteers will be contacted at intervals over a 1-year period for follow-up data and may choose whether or not they would like to provide follow-up data or participate in another scan.
Approximately 16.5 million people suffer from coronary artery disease (CAD) and about 10 million present each year to emergency departments with symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath, commonly suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To clinically assess ACS risk in these patients, there are typically 2-6 hours of emergency room evaluation, followed by 6-42 hours of an observation period prior to discharge. The clinical pathway includes: 1) 1-3 ECG's; 2) serial troponins (1 and 3 hours vs 1 and 6 hours); and 3) other pertinent diagnostic information, including but not limited to echocardiography, stress testing and/or CT Angiography. Patients who are evaluated, have presented with a low risk for ACS, and maintain negative diagnostic results can potentially be discharged within 6 hours. However, 20%-40% of patients who fall into indeterminate diagnostic categories will require longer observation periods or admission of 12-48 hours which result in the use of expensive imaging and provocative testing, such as stress testing. The purpose of ACCMED is to measure the efficacy of Magnetocardiography (MCG) as a diagnostic tool to rule-in/rule-out myocardial ischemia in patients with suspicion of an acute coronary syndrome who have a HEART Score > 2 and to allow safe and timely disposition of the patient to an appropriate level of care.
Naval Special Warfare (NSW) operators are exposed to a variety of extreme environmental conditions and intense physical demands. In addition to breathing high pressure gases at depth, prolonged cold water immersion and inadequate recovery from sustained physical exertion negatively impact individual and team performance. Biotechnologies that could mitigate the effects of cold as well as support physical recovery represent a significant unmet need for the NSW operational community. Oxytocin (OT) has a wide range of actions both locally in the brain and peripherally in the body including skeletal muscle. These peripheral effects can be mediated by classic ligand-receptor activation given the abundant expression of the oxytocin receptor in peripheral tissues, along with local expression of OT in peripheral tissues where it is likely to act in an autocrine manner. Exogenous OT via intranasal administration is FDA Investigational New Drug (IND)-approved and has been demonstrated as an easy and safe method to increase circulating OT concentrations that may augment actions on peripheral tissues.
The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of food order/nutrient sequencing on glycemic excursions over a 2 week period, utilizing a device known as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), for people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and treated with metformin. This research study is being done because recent studies demonstrate that besides carbohydrate amount and type, the sequential order of macronutrient consumption during a meal has a significant impact on post-meal glucose levels.
This prospective, multicenter, single-blinded, randomized comparison study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX System to Cryosurgery for the clearance of cutaneous non-genital common warts on all areas of the body excluding the scalp, nose, within the orbital region of the face, plantar or periungual area in healthy adult subjects.
