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.
Approximately 20 habitual soft contact lens wearing participants will be enrolled in this unilateral, randomized, double-masked (participant and investigator masked) repeated measures insertion study. All participants will be seen for a Screening/Dispensing Visit at which informed consent will be obtained and eligibility will be assessed. If participants satisfy all eligibility criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, subjects will insert study lenses in random, successive order according to unique randomization schedules that will be provided to each Investigator.
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. This study will evaluate how safe ABBV-382 is and how it is absorbed, distributed and eliminated from the body in adult participants with HIV-1 infection. ABBV-382 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. This study takes place in 2 parts. In Part A, participants with HIV-1 and no history of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) or who are off cART for more than 3 months will be enrolled to receive ABBV-382. In Part B, participants with no virus in their blood and on maintenance cART will be enrolled into one of the intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) groups. In the IV groups, participants will receive either placebo or ABBV-382 whereas participants in the SC group will receive ABBV-382. There is 1 in 3 chance that participants will receive placebo (no drug) in Part B IV groups. The IV group in Part B is double-blinded which means neither the study doctors nor the participants will know who will be given study drug or placebo. Around 52 adult participants with HIV-1 infection will be enrolled at approximately 21 sites across the United States, including Puerto Rico. Participants in Part A will receive an intravenous (IV) dose of ABBV-382 on Day 1. Participants in Part B will receive an IV or SC dose of ABBV-382 or placebo on Days 1, 29 and 57. There may be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and presence of side effects.
Primary aim is to provide a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the investigational topical formula, KGF-HS, as a prophylactic treatment for chemotherapy induced alopecia. Hypothesis: KGF-HS will result in less than 50% hair loss by the end of 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The investigators will evaluate hair loss using the CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) v4.0 alopecia grading scale.
This clinical trial intends to study the efficacy of a mobile phone delivered intervention in reducing depression-related rumination.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient satisfaction and health status before and after a 6-week established self-management training program for middle to older age Hispanic Americans living with chronic musculoskeletal pain in a large, hospital based urban health maintenance organization. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effects of remote, nonfrequent healthcare provider feedback for 6 months on health care utilization, health status and patient satisfaction.
The aim of this study is to assess cognitive function before and after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using sensitive tests of various neurocognitive domains.
This prospective, non-randomized, multicenter pivotal study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX System in patients with cutaneous non-genital warts on all areas of the body, excluding the face.
All patients undergoing breast biopsy, lumpectomy, needle-localization-guided breast biopsy, and mastectomy at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, Center One, or Einstein Elkins Park will be offered participation into the study. Patients who have documented allergies to adhesive or tape, patients taking chronic steroids, and patients with documented connective tissue, skin, or healing disorders will be excluded from the study. Risks and benefits of the study as well as risks and benefits of the procedure will be discussed with the patient by one of the investigators. If the patient elects to participate in the study, they will be assigned to incisional dressing at the time of operation with either in-line or perpendicular placement of Steri-Strips based on the patient's computer-generated randomization assignment. The patient's chart will be reviewed to determine the patient's age and comorbid conditions including obesity (pre-operative BMI), diabetes mellitus, use of anti-platelet or anticoagulant medication, or smoking. This information will be utilized to ensure that our study groups are similar in baseline demographics and pre-existing conditions. Additionally, the primary medical reason for needing breast surgery will be reviewed as well as treatment with pre-operative or post-operative chemotherapy or radiation therapy to the breast. Steri-Strips will not be removed and will be allowed to fall off naturally. At regularly scheduled 30-day and 90-day follow-up appointments, pictures will be taken of the incisional area. These photographs will be reviewed by a blinded, independent surgeon who will grade each incision according to the modified Hollander Cosmesis Scale. Statistical analysis with t-testing of the means and chi-squared testing of dichotomous variables will be performed to determine significance of the findings.
The project objective is to test the feasibility of delivering health education and self-management support to African-American patients with uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) through a culturally-tailored smartphone application (app)-enhanced intervention within federally qualified health centers.
Participation in this study will involve having a pad wrapped onto the subject's non-surgical leg to detect when sensation returns after spinal anesthetic and while in recovery room. The pad is part of an approved medical device, but which has been modified and will be used in an experimental way. The device will run cold water through the pad wrapped to the subject's leg. The subject will be asked to press a stop button when they feel the pad gets cold. Nurses in the recovery area will also be testing return of sensation using a standard technique and this will be compared to when the subject begins to feel the cold.
