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 a Phase I/Ib investigator-initiated open label of the combination of VESANOID and pembrolizumab treatment.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with or without atezolizumab works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted therapy" because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pertuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with or without atezolizumab may kill more tumor cells. *NOTE: This study has a central confirmation step. The purpose of this step is to confirm by central testing that the patient's tumor has specific receptors. If the patient meets all the study requirements, the patient will join the study and begin therapy for breast cancer while the tumor is being tested.
This is a multinational, open-label, ascending-dose, delayed-treatment concurrent control clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT132 in subjects with X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy aged less than 5 years old. Subjects will receive a single dose of AT132 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 10 years
This trial studies how a program to encourage healthy behaviors (Tu Salud Si Cuenta) works to increase physical activity and healthy eating habits among Latino families. Improving physical activity and healthy eating habits may help in preventing cancer-related diseases and lead to a better quality of life among Latino families.
This phase II trial studies how well perflutren protein-type A microspheres and contrast-enhanced ultrasound work in improving response to radioembolization therapy in patients with liver cancer. Ultrasound contrast agents, such as perflutren protein-type A microspheres, use gas microbubbles to improve image quality. Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging will "pop" these microbubbles and cause tumors to become more sensitive to radiation therapies.
This trial studies how well a theoretically-based motivational behavior change program called Tu Salud Si Cuenta! works in promoting healthy lifestyles in Latino families. Tu Salud Si Cuenta! will deliver programs on healthy lifestyles and healthy homes to Hispanic/Latino families and may help to improve their health.
The goal of this research study is to learn if enrolling in a program with a partner that involves monitoring each other's physical activity and providing support to one another can help both participants be more physically active.
Fentanyl is the most commonly used opioid during anesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital. Compared to other opioids, e.g. sulfentanil and remifentanil, fentanyl's pharmacokinetic properties are more problematic as the context sensitive half-time increases with duration of fentanyl infusion. This may lead to respiratory complications particularly in patients who receive fentanyl for surgical procedures of long duration. Considering the common use of fentanyl during surgery and its duration of action that is hard to predict during long surgical procedures, we will evaluate the association between intraoperative fentanyl dose and postoperative respiratory complications within 3 days of surgery.
This clinical trial studies how well an educational intervention works in increasing knowledge about prostate cancer in high-risk neighborhoods. Learning about prostate cancer and the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer may increase knowledge about prostate cancer while decreasing anxiety and concerns about prostate cancer screening.
The goal of the study is to evaluate a new imaging test that may allows the investigators to predict the uptake of radioactive iodine by thyroid cancer faster than the current standard and that does not interfere with the uptake of radioactive iodine used for therapy.
