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 purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker, cognitive and clinical efficacy of investigational products in participants with an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive/clinical impairment or improves disease-related biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the administration of the CGRP-receptor antagonist erenumab is effective in decreasing pain and improving quality of life in patients with FMS by comparing the difference in pain scores in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, defense and veterans Pain Rating Scale and The American College of Rheumatology 2010 Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for Fibromyalgia score over the study period.
This study is being done to improve image quality and provide the collaborator with feedback on wide band imaging in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED).
The objective of this study is to determine the safety of the Tyrvaya nasal pump.
A Phase 2 study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of intravitreal injections of AVD-104, a novel glyco-mimetic nanoparticle, in reducing macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy.
This study will evaluate light therapy used in combination with standard therapies for pancreatic and rectal cancer. Participants will receive chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical treatments identical to that they had not been involved in the study. The only alteration is that some participants will be exposed additionally to either blue or amber light using commercially available seasonal affective disorder (SAD) lights that are approved for human use. Participants will use the SAD light in their own homes throughout the course of their radiation and chemotherapy treatments. They will wear goggles that filter with the desired color of light. As a comparison, another group of participants will be exposed only to their usual lighting conditions. The assignment to blue light, amber light, or usual light groups will be random. In addition to the light exposure, participants will be asked to have 10 mL of blood drawn for research purposes at 4 time points. This blood will be analyzed for markers of inflammation and circadian clock activation. Participants also will be asked to complete surveys at 3 time points. These surveys will evaluate for effects changs in sleep, pain, and quality of life. Finally, participants will be asked to wear a small clip-on light sensor and a heart rate variability monitor for 7 days. These monitors will provide information on the level of light exposure and the participant's physiologic response to the light. For participants going on to surgery, we will obtain a small sample of the resected pancreas or rectal tumor for research analysis. The investigators will obtain this sample only after the necessarily analysis has been performed for their clinical care.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of immunotherapy on cognitive function of cancer patients and follow them clinically over a period of six months with the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) to assess changes in cognition.
Every year, nearly 240,000 patients age 60 and older are transferred between acute care hospitals for nontraumatic surgical emergencies, and these patients experience worse outcomes than patients admitted directly from an emergency department within a given hospital. Care coordination for older patients with emergency general surgery (EGS) diagnoses suffers because conversations between referring and accepting providers regarding decisions to transfer are ineffective, incomplete, and inefficient. To standardize a method to support transfer decisions that is tailored to older adults within extant transfer processes, the team will (1) engage key stakeholders to develop the intervention to Support Interhospital Transfer Decisions (SITe) for older EGS patients by adapting an existing intervention for interhospital handoffs and (2) assess the acceptability of the SITe intervention, test the feasibility of study procedures, and explore efficacy outcomes for evaluation in a future, larger clinical trial.
Plantar fasciitis (PF), a leading cause of persistent heel pain, results in almost a million physician visits annually. Conservative treatment is often the first line of management with insoles being frequently prescribed. While multiple studies have compared insoles based on the degree of customization to foot contour, the literature is lacking in data comparing insoles based on their material. In this randomized clinical trial, we compared the early effects of polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), and carbon fiber insoles in the treatment of PF, using a set of patient-reported outcomes.
This is a pilot trial to examine the acceptability and feasibility of time-restricted eating as an adjunct to medication treatment for bipolar disorder.
