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 research study is being done to determine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of defibrotide within a single patient with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) associated with either kidney and/or lung impairment that has not obtained a complete response (CR) or progressed in severity with standard doses of defibrotide.
With support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, The Center for Maternal Health Equity at Morehouse School of Medicine is conducting a research study to test the implementation of Pre-Pregnancy Counseling in community-based settings.
This protocol focuses on the effect of sleep interventions on improving sleep and building cognitive/brain resilience in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment and sleep disturbance. Two sleep interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and acoustic slow-wave activity enhancement (SWAE), will be utilized in a pilot randomized clinical trial in which participants are randomized to different treatment groups (CBTI or SWAE). Participants will be assessed over a 6-month period in order to examine the impact of sleep treatments on neuropsychological outcomes and cognitively mediated everyday functioning.
This research study is being conducted to find out more about techniques to non-invasively evaluate liver disease. The investigators are testing a new technology to evaluate the liver (LiverScope®), and they will compare it to other methods to evaluate the liver, including advanced conventional liver MR and liver FibroScan® ultrasound exams. MR exams and FibroScan® ultrasound exams are common exams used to monitor NAFLD. Conventional MR scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to make pictures of the liver. LiverScope® is a small, portable MR-based device that uses similar, but simplified technology, and can be used on top of an exam table in an outpatient setting. LiverScope® currently is not approved for clinical use. In this study the investigators will learn how LiverScope® measurements of the liver compare to MR. Study participants will be asked to complete a one-time visit which includes: - LiverScope exam - MR exam - FibroScan exam (optional) - Blood draw - Completion of study questionnaires
This study is intended to investigate whether roux-en-y bypass surgery is superior to conventional loop gastrojejunostomy for Malignant gastric outlet obstruction in terms of tolerance to solid food intake. We hypothesize that roux-en-y bypass will be associated with improved solid food intake in the first 30 days after surgery.
This is a phase 1/2 clinical study to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of SKG0106 in subjects with nAMD. Based on results from the phase 1 dose escalation study, the phase 2 expansion study will be conducted.
This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of azeliragon, in combination with radiation therapy, as an initial treatment of a form of glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer that grows quickly and can invade and destroy healthy tissue. There's no cure for glioblastoma, which is also known as glioblastoma multiforme. Treatments, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy might slow cancer growth and reduce symptoms. New treatments of glioblastoma are needed.
This study addresses a critical gap of care for Veterans with heart failure (HF). Only 1/3 or fewer eligible Veterans are receiving recommended SGLT2 and MRA therapies that save lives and prevents HF hospitalizations. The investigators will compare the effect of clinician directed nudges as strategies to improve the health of Veterans with HF.
The purpose of this study is to describe the real-world use of Belantamab Mafodotin - blmf (BLENREP) and associated patterns of care, including dosing and dose modification, eye care specialist visits, associated healthcare utilization, and clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) seen in the Duke Cancer Institute (DCI) clinics.
Obesity, namely at body mass index (BMI) levels exceeding 40kg/m2 (class III obesity), is a risk factor for many diseases including osteoarthritis (OA). In arthroplasty, patients in this population frequently present for and are turned away from surgical intervention. Subsequently, efforts are made to decrease BMI through simple weight loss, yet these have been suggested as ineffective and counterproductive. Furthermore, simple weight loss may include muscle mass loss, which is an additional risk factor for surgery. At the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Orthopedics Department, efforts have been made to encourage muscle mass gain and body fat loss over simple weight loss where progress has been tracked through stationary, multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA). BIA is a readily available technology offered to industry and consumers, and BIA has recently been incorporated into wearable devices. In the UIHC Orthopedics department, a novel clinic aimed at holistically serving the osteoarthritic-class III obese population for controlled and monitored weight loss through BIA. This study, a randomized controlled trial, aims to recruit adult patients with class III obesity presenting to the arthroplasty-obesity clinic. While all patients will receive individual body composition coaching to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat mass, they will be randomized to one of two cohorts: the study group will receive a wearable BIA wristband (InBody BAND 2) and instruction on its use in addition to the standard coaching, and the control group will only receive the standard coaching. This study aims to identify if the use of a wearable BIA wristband aids in the desired body composition changes. In addition, this study aims to quantify the body composition changes exhibited by each cohort. Finally, this study aims to track surgical outcomes for those patients that are indicated for total joint arthroplasty.
