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.
The goal of this IDEAL project is to examine the effectiveness and implementation process of the video-based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) + community health worker (CHW) (hereafter: "IDEAL") intervention compared with a wait-list control group (hereafter: "CONTROL") to improve glycemic control among Chinese immigrants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in New York City (NYC). Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to one of the 2 groups. The IDEAL group will receive 1 DSMES brief video/week for 24 weeks delivered via text message. The CHW will assess participants' SDOH barriers to T2D care and link them to available resources in the community. The CONTROL group will continue to receive their usual care and at the end of the study, they will receive DSMES videos.
Purpose: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with elevated oxidative stress, and oxidative stress has been implicated as the cause of reduced endothelial reactivity in individuals with PAD. Endothelial function is important because the endothelium contributes to the dilation of arteries during exercise, thereby implicating impaired endothelial function as a mechanism contributing to exacerbated exercise-induced ischemia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that acute exogenous diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) intake will improve antioxidant capacity, thereby reducing oxidative stress and improving vascular function and walking capacity in those with PAD. Eligibility: Individuals with PAD will be deemed eligible for this study if they 1) are 50-75 years old and postmenopausal, 2) have a positive history of exercise-limiting claudication (Fontaine II or III), 3) do not have renal impairments, 4) do not have Fontaine stage IV PAD, and 5) are not currently pregnant or nursing. Age-matched controls will be deemed eligible for this study if they 1) are 50-75 years old and postmenopausal, 2) have an ABI greater than 0.9 (no PAD), 3) do not have exercise-limiting diseases or injuries, 4) do not have renal impairments, and 5) are not currently pregnant or nursing. Intervention and Evaluation: During this study, participants will be administered diroximel fumarate or a placebo, and the acute effects of diroximel fumarate on vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed. Vascular function and walking capacity will be assessed with flow-mediated dilation, arterial stiffness, head-up tilt test, blood biomarkers, near-infrared spectroscopy, and a treadmill test. Follow-up: There will be a follow-up visit to assess blood work after diroximel fumarate.
The goal of this research study is to establish the safety and then to explore the effectiveness of infusing the combination of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell in the blood that is collected and bathed in special proteins to help identify and treat curtained advanced cancers, combined with N-803, a medication that increases the activity of Interleukin-15, which is a cytokine that activates immune cells, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Names of the study therapies involved in this study are/is: - CIML NK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy) - N-803 (a type of recombinant human IL-15 superagonist)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug levels of mezigdomide in participants with renal impairment.
The Systematic Implementation of Patient-centered Care for Alcohol Use Trial is a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, effectiveness-implementation trial testing two interventions to systematically implement shared decision-making with primary care patients with symptoms due to alcohol use: a primary care intervention and a centralized intervention. An anticipated 30 primary care clinics will be randomized to one of three conditions: usual care or the primary care or centralized interventions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how vedolizumab may affect patients with collagenous gastritis (CG). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether vedolizumab can reduce CG symptoms - Whether vedolizumab is safe to take for patients with CG Participants in this study will: - Receive vedolizumab through an IV ("infusion") - Complete a survey at each infusion visit - Have blood collected at each infusion visit - Undergo an endoscopy with biopsy
Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has been studied in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is increasingly used as a non-invasive, easy to use, cost-effective tool for point-of-care to assess disease activity and more recently to predict response to treatment. However, there is a paucity of data on the use of IUS specifically for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).
Office hysteroscopy is an invaluable practice to treat a myriad of gynecological processes. However, a limiting factor is the perceived pain and anxiety. In a randomized pilot study, treatment with lavender aromatherapy will significantly decrease the stress/anxiety levels associated with office hysteroscopy, as measured on a visual analogue scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire when compared to control subjects receiving distilled water placebo.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of N=16 apparently healthy men and women. The purpose of this study is to examine the bioavailability of a health and wellness supplement.
This clinical trial evaluates the characteristics of oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) to determine if they are a comparable substitute to cigarette or smokeless tobacco (ST) products. ONPs contain nicotine but no tobacco and are used primarily by adult tobacco uses in the United States (US). ONPs are recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as having lower risk than combustible cigarettes and are approved as a modified risk tobacco product. While ONPs have lower toxic risk than other tobacco products, acute and longer term harm related to their use has not been studied. Information gathered from this study may identify product characteristics of ONPs that improve successful switching from high-risk cigarettes or ST to lower risk ONPs.
