There are about 172410 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 II trial studies the effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and the timing of treatment with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in treating patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic), and that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cells. ADT lowers the amount of androgen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need androgen to grow. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors work by blocking the effects of androgen to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Giving SBRT alone with watchful waiting may be as effective in treating prostate cancer as giving SBRT together with ARPI and ADT.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on stress and related health outcomes
It is estimated that 1 in 279 people may be carriers of a Hereditary Cancer Syndromes (HCS), a cancer risk that is associated with germline mutations (inherited genetic mutations passed directly from a parent to a child that create a genetic predisposition to certain types of cancer). Individuals with an HCS who have never been diagnosed with cancer (Previvors) have up to an 80% lifetime risk of developing cancer and are at an increased risk of developing multiple primary cancers during their lifetime, often with onset at an early age. Previvors face multiple forms of adversity, including a multitude of annual cancer screenings and the uncertainty of not only their own health but the health of affected family members. This study will examine the acceptability and preliminary effects of PreCharge, a resilience-boosting solution specifically designed for Previvors and delivered primarily via bi-directional text messaging. PreCharge uses proven approaches to behavior change tailoring to increase resilience by promoting a positive mindset, strong social connections, and a deep sense of meaning and purpose while also proactively addressing scanxiety. Up to 150 Hereditary Cancer Previvors will be recruited for a 30-day pilot test. Participants will complete a baseline assessment, and then be provided with 30 days of access to the PreCharge program. At the end of the 30 days, they will be prompted to complete a follow-up assessment. Outcomes include 1) acceptability of the program, as evidenced by obtaining 75% endorsement that users would recommend the program to a fellow Previvor; (2) engagement as evidenced by continued receipt of text messages and one or more interactions with the online tools by at least 70% of participants; and (3) benefit from the program, evidenced by statistically significant pre-post improvement on the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale.
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often experience a frustrating decline of their cognitive skills that includes considerable problems in attention, learning, and memory. This lupus-related cognitive dysfunction (termed SLE-CD) is recognized as the most prevalent of the nineteen neuropsychiatric SLE syndromes, as it affects up to 80% of patients and can significantly decrease their quality of life. The goal is to have tools that can be used for diagnosis and for monitoring responses after targeted interventions and therapies. This study will focus on electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, which will be detected noninvasively from scalp placed surface electrodes while the subjects are in a state of wakeful rest. Our hypothesis is that a subset of brain oscillations known as theta and gamma, and their co-modulation or coupling will be disrupted in SLE patients. This research protocol will subject patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to scalp electroencephalography (EEG), with the goal of determining whether specific EEG patterns ('theta-gamma coupling') appear abnormal during wakeful-rest periods of 20 minutes. The investigators are interested in using scalp EEG because it is a standard, safe and robust technique for monitoring the electrophysiological activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations. Advanced NSCLC refers to a type of lung cancer that has spread from the lungs to nearby tissues or other body parts. People with advanced NSCLC may have changes in certain proteins, like EGFR and HER2, that cause uncontrolled cell growth and increased spread of cancer. In this study, participants will be healthy and will not benefit from taking the study treatment, BAY2927088. However, the study will provide information about how to test BAY2927088 in future studies with people who have advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. BAY2927088 is under development for the treatment of advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. It is expected to work against these changed proteins, which might slow down the spread of cancer. The absorption of BAY2927088 into the blood is dependent on the amount of acid present in the stomach. Esomeprazole is a medicine which is used in the treatment of heartburn and excessive acid in the stomach. Both food and esomeprazole may change the amount of acid present in the stomach. The main purpose of this study is to find out how food and esomeprazole may affect the absorption of BAY2927088 into the blood of healthy participants. For this, researchers will measure the levels of BAY2927088 in participants' blood when it is given with or without food as well as with or without esomeprazole. Researchers will then calculate the following: - Area under the curve (AUC): a measure of the total amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood over time - Maximum observed concentration (Cmax): the highest amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood The study will have 4 treatment periods: - Periods 1 to 3 (Day 1 to Day 9): All participants will take BAY2927088 with a low-fat meal, with a high-fat meal, and on an empty stomach, but in a different order, over the 3 study periods. Each period will last for 3 days and BAY2927088 will be given on the first day of each period. On Day 9, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. - Period 4 (Day 10 to Day 14): On Days 10 and 11, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. On Day 12, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. After 1 and a half hours, participants will take low-fat meal and BAY2927088. On Day 13, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. Participants will be in this study for about 8 weeks with 3 visits to the study clinic. Participants will visit the study clinic: - at least once, 2 to 28 days before the treatment starts, to confirm they can take part in this study - once on the day before the treatment starts and will stay in the clinic until Day 14 of the treatment - once, 7 to 10 days after last dose of BAY2927088, for a health check-up During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - do physical examinations - collect blood samples from the participants to measure the levels of BAY2927088 - check participants' health by performing tests, such as blood and urine tests, and checking heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. The study doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective of whether they think it is related or not to the study treatment.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether an implementation process composed of offering CR to staff in a single hospital nursing unit has any potential impact on unit-level quality measures post-implementation.
This study will test whether a new intervention, Virtual Hope Box Enhanced Facilitation (VHB-EF), reduces suicide risk in Veterans after discharge from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Additionally, this study will also conduct interviews with Veterans and healthcare providers to explore barriers and facilitators to future adoption of the VHB-EF intervention in healthcare settings.
The objectives of this study are to investigate the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of repeated ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions in adolescents with severe posttraumatic stress disorder. The study will enroll adolescents with a current diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to complete three intravenous ketamine administrations immediately prior to a psychotherapy session over the span of six weeks. All participants will complete an initial set of preparatory sessions, and each dosing session will be followed by three integration sessions. Finally, participants will complete 7 nights of at-home sleep recordings. The investigators hypothesize that this protocol will be well-tolerated by adolescents and that patients will experience decreases in PTSD symptom severity at follow-up.
