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.
To determine safe concentration level of lidocaine infusion in children.
The purpose of this study is to use positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to understand the brain function of individuals with anorexia nervosa and healthy controls.
Phase I: To investigate maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, exploratory biomarker and efficacy of BI 836858 monotherapy in patients with low or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with symptomatic anemia. Phase II: To investigate safety and efficacy of BI 836858 plus Best Supportive Care compared to Best Supportive Care alone in low or intermediate-1 risk MDS patients with symptomatic anemia.
This clinical trial studies the physiology and immunology of new-onset post-transplant diabetes mellitus in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps, and immune assays will be used to define the mechanisms associated with abnormal glucose homeostasis following stem cell transplantation. Information from this clinical trial could be used to develop standardized screening procedures or to develop optimal treatment strategies for patients developing post-transplant diabetes mellitus.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 12-week, placebo-controlled multiple dose study will investigate the safety and tolerability of RO6885247 in adult and pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of rifaximin DR also referred to as Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) tablets vs. placebo for the induction of clinical remission and endoscopic response following 16 weeks of treatment in participants presenting with active moderate Crohn's disease. A key secondary objective is to evaluate clinical and endoscopic remission following an additional 36 weeks of treatment.

Will Ranolazine improve bowel function and abdominal pain in human subjects with IBS-D?
Low back pain is a common condition, affecting majority of the adults in the United States at some point in their lives. Fortunately, most resolve, even without treatment. However, some suffer from continued or recurrent pain. For those suffering from continued or recurrent low back pain, numerous treatment options exist. One such option is an epidural injection, particularly when other non-surgical treatment options have failed. An epidural injection is the placement of a needle into the space around the spinal cord with the aid of a live X-Ray machine, followed by an injection of various medications. Typically, the medication that is injected is a steroid, commonly with the combination of local anesthetic medication. Epidural steroid injections, with or without local anesthetic is part of the established standard of care in the United States for those with continued or recurrent low back pain. The steroid is believed to reduce inflammation and edema of the injured or irritated nerves. However, despite the routine use of epidural steroids, the steroid itself is not without risks or side effects. Though rare, the steroids have been associated with complications including osteoporosis, steroid induced myopathy, cataracts and many others. In order to minimize the side effects associated with epidural steroids, limiting the dose and frequency have been outlined. Clonidine is another medication, commonly used in numerous clinical settings. U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved the medication for epidural use for cancer pain but studies have shown effectiveness in non-cancer pain was well and is routinely used for various conditions. There is growing evidence on the use of epidural clonidine for treatment of pain, including low back pain. This research will study and compare the effectiveness, if any, of clonidine compared to steroid in an epidural injection for low back pain.
In this prospective, randomized, double blind study, the aim is to determine the efficacy of Linaclotide in relation to Senna in relieving the symptoms of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Patients with CIC, (age 18 - 70) will be enrolled in the study and randomized to Senna or Linaclotide. Patients will be asked to complete questionnaires during the study and will be followed for 12 weeks. Main outcomes include number of daily bowel movements and measures from surveys regarding bowel habits, relief, and satisfaction.
