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 is an open label trial of Anti PD1/MD-3475, Pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The study will use standard (FDA approved) doses for both pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The experimental drug Anti PD-1 (MK 3475) given on days 1 and 14.
This is an international multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of single-agent intralesional PV-10 versus systemic chemotherapy or intralesional oncolytic viral therapy to assess treatment of locally advanced cutaneous melanoma in patients who (1) are not candidates for targeted therapy and (2) are not candidates for an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Subjects in the comparator arm will receive the Investigator's choice of dacarbazine (DTIC), temozolomide (TMZ) or intralesional talimogene laherparepvec as determined by Investigator preference and standard of care in the Investigator's country or region. Effectiveness will be assessed by comparison of progression-free survival (PFS) between all intent-to-treat (ITT) subjects in the two study treatment arms.
About 1 in every 700 babies born in the United States has Down's Syndrome (DS; Trisomy 21), 99% of whom have some degree of intellectual disability. Recent advances in medicine have resulted in a dramatically improved lifespan of about 25 to 60 years of age. Yet, there is limited data about anesthetic management in this increasing patient population. The bispectral index (BIS) monitor is a non-invasive monitoring device that reports a value between 0 and 100correlating to level of consciousness of an individual. A value of 0 indicates lack of brain activity while 100 indicates an awake/alert state. This monitor can be used to assess the depth of anesthesia. Patients with intellectual disability from congenital neurological diseases have lower BIS values compared to patients without any neurological impairment (Valkenburg 2009). The results may suggest that DS patients would require less anesthetic drugs compared to patients without any neurological impairment. To date, there are no studies in DS patients.
The purpose of this study is to see if a recently developed clinical prediction rule (CPR) will successfully identify which patients with neck pain will respond rapidly and favorably to manipulation of their cervical spine.
Randomized trial to evaluate impact of healthcare provider( clinician and nursing staff) support and education on treatment discontinuation rates in the absence of progression in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with regorafenib. Intensified education and support will be provided through an application for iPad which has automatic links to grading, dose reduction and side effect management ,as well as, references for additional articles.
The purpose of this pilot study proposal is to test the ability of Transluminal Flow Encoding (TAFE) to evaluate vessel specific ischemia in patients with a clinical indication for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements for suspected coronary disease.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving metformin in combination with radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone. In this study, participants will receive either metformin or a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect. This is an investigational study. Metformin is FDA approved for the treatment of diabetes. Its use in this study to be given with radiation therapy to treat lung cancer is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 70 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
The purpose of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to determine if the addition of an oral antifungal to typical post-operative medical therapy can prevent or reduce the incidence of recurrence of nasal polyps in fungal sensitive patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
This study evaluates the combination of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and CDX-1127 in subjects with castration resistant prostate cancer. Subjects will be randomized to one of three arms to receive SBRT prior to, after, or in conjunction with the first dose of CDX-1127.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pioglitazone at 24 months compared with placebo on cognitive decline in high-risk participants who have completed the AD-4833/TOMM40_301 study [NCT01931566] with an adjudicated diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
