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 Phase 2, randomized, observer-blind, active controlled clinical study is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational MF59-Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Subunit Inactivated Influenza Vaccine. Approximately 480 subjects are to be randomized into 1 of 4 possible treatment groups (investigational Influenza Vaccine or licensed Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine comparators) at 120 participants per group. Every participant will receive an influenza vaccine injection on Day 1 and will be followed up for approximately 6 months following injection. The primary immunogenicity analysis is based on Day 29 serum.
This study's research is devoted to studying the causes of tremor, and especially essential tremor (ET), which is the most common type of tremor. Previous studies have revealed a link between harmane [HA], a dietary neurotoxin, and ET; these studies now also suggest a link between this toxin and Parkinson's disease (PD), a related tremor disorder. Yet these links are tentative rather than conclusively established; therefore, in this new patient-based proposal, which incorporates investigations spanning two continents (North America and Europe), utilizes several complementary study designs (prospective cohort, case control), and draws on several types of tissue (blood, brain), the investigator's goal is to nail down the links between HA and ET and to further solidify the emerging links between HA and PD.
A fundamental limitation to the application of appetitive sensations is how they are measured. The most common approach relies on untrained individuals to self-report the sensations they experience under a given set of conditions. Investigators believe this is problematic because assumptions made about participant ratings are likely not valid. The proposed protocol will permit examination of whether training on appetite lexicon enhances the reliability of appetite ratings. Investigators also hypothesize that different preloads will induce different magnitudes of appetite sensations (hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and prospective consumption) depending on their energy density.
Wake Forest Post-Intensive Care Unit Telehealth (WFIT) program consists of a nurse practitioner who has access to daily activity data as well as telehealth capabilities for 6 months post-hospital discharge in order to improve the post-critical illness care of patients. The study team expects that this program will reduce costs to patients. Through this intervention the study team hopes to improve quality of life, patient satisfaction, reduce readmissions and ER visits, and reduce mortality. The study team will perform a formal randomized controlled trial with a cost-effectiveness analysis to demonstrate its value.
In this study, individuals without hepatitis C infection who are on the kidney transplant waitlist will receive a kidney from a deceased donor with hepatitis C infection and will be treated for hepatitis C at the same time. Treatment will include glecaprevir 300 mg / pibrentasvir 120 mg (G-P) administered on-call to the operating room for the renal transplant procedure and continued for 2 weeks post-renal transplant.
Patients undergo laryngotracheal anesthesia (LTA) for a variety of in-office laryngology procedures. Prior to resolution of laryngeal sensory anesthesia, oral intake may predispose patients to aspiration. The purpose of this study is to objectively characterize a time period for return of aspiration-free swallow after LTA.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of molnupiravir (MK-4482) compared to placebo. The primary hypothesis is that molnupiravir is superior to placebo as assessed by the percentage of participants who are hospitalized and/or die through Day 29
In this study we will be monitoring for patient events (emergency department admission, hospital admission, admission to an observation unit, or death) and evaluating the feasibility and utility of using pinpointIQ in the management of patients with COVID-19. Vital sign (physiology data) is collected to build a Covid Decompensation Index and contribute data to a Covid Digital Hub supported by the National Institutes of Health.
Splanchnic vasoconstriction may contribute to decompensation of chronic heart failure (HF) via volume redistribution from the splanchnic vascular bed to the central compartment. This is a sympathetically mediated reflex and can be interrupted through a splanchnic nerve block (SNB). We hypothesize that interruption of the efferent/afferent innervation of the splanchnic vasculature will decrease cardiac congestion in patients presenting with HF. Based on preliminary safety and efficacy data in acute and chronic heart failure patients with temporary (<24 h) SNB. Now we will apply a prolonged SNB in chronic heart failure patients using a long acting agent. We will test the effects of SNB on long term exercise capacitance.
Project STAMINA is a clinical trial that seeks to establish effectiveness of a telemedicine approach for linking syringe exchange clients to medications for opioid use disorder. This pilot study aims to recruit n=275 people and utilizes two study arms: (1) a treatment arm consisting of immediate telemedicine linkage and (2) a control arm consisting of standard referral to treatment. Half of the study participants will be randomly enrolled in each arm. The study will utilize qualitative and quantitative data, including questionnaire data, drug test results, and administrative treatment data, at multiple time points to determine what effect telemedicine linkage has on clients in relation to the comparison group.
