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 the study is to re-examine body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and dyspnea on exertion (DOE) in children with obesity (CWO) and children without obesity (CWOO) who were originally studied as 8-12-year-olds between 2016-2023 (i.e., originally Tanner score ≤ 3; 90 participants; 26 CWOO & 64 CWO). Additionally, the investigators will study the effects of weight loss on body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and DOE in CWO.
This is an open-label extension (OLE) study designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical effects of subcutaneous (SC) administration of CTI-1601, also known as nomlabofusp, in subjects with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). The objectives of this OLE study are: - To evaluate the safety of long-term subcutaneous (SC) administration of CTI-1601 in subjects with FRDA - To evaluate the PK of long-term subcutaneous (SC) administration of CTI-1601 in subjects with FRDA - To evaluate the effect of long-term subcutaneous (SC) administration of CTI-1601 in subjects with FRDA on: - Tissue FXN concentrations - Clinical evaluations of FRDA - Gene Expression and select lipids
The purpose and aim of this study are to compare changes in pulse volume to non-invasively predict active bleeding or high-risk stigmata in patients undergoing a gastrointestinal endoscopy to assess feasibility of the flow meter clinically.
The overall goal of the Polygenic Risk Scores and Multi-cancer Early Detection for Ovarian Cancer (PROMISE) study is to better understand how women may incorporate both polygenic risk score (PRS) and novel early detection strategies in their decisions regarding cancer screening and risk reducing surgery. This study will conduct qualitative interviews to better understand women's attitudes regarding polygenic risk score (PRS) and early detection assays.
The aim of this study is to see if administering platelets (cells in our blood that stop or prevent bleeding) results in improved platelet function and slows/stops the progression of a head bleed for patients who have a traumatic head bleed and are on antiplatelet therapy (medications that stop blood cells from forming a blood clot) prior to admission.
The goal of this long-term extension (LTE) study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pegtibatinase in patients with classical homocystinuria (HCU). Patients who are active in the Phase 1/2 COMPOSE study or those who complete the 24 weeks of treatment in the Phase 3 HARMONY are eligible to participate. Participants will be in this clinical study for up to about 13 months including: - a treatment period of up to 52 weeks - a 4-week safety follow-up period
The goal of this research study is to examine adherence to national guidelines for cervical cancer screening in women age >65. Patient surveys will provide information about women age >65 current cervical screening practices and allow researchers to compare that information to national recommended guidelines regarding cervical screenings. Provider surveys will provide information from surveyed providers about screening knowledge and current provider practices for women patients > 65 for cervical cancer. The results may be used to make future recommendations for improving gynecological care and to help develop effective strategies for ensuring guideline adherence.
The goal of the ALOFT study is to understand the health of women in the 12 years following a uterine fibroid (UF) treatment. ALOFT is a multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of approximately 700 women who have undergone uterine-sparing treatment procedures for UF and previously participated in the longitudinal studies COMPARE-UF (NCT02260752) or ULTRA (NCT02100904). The primary uterine sparing treatment procedures undergone by study participants are myomectomy, endometrial ablation (EA), uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA). A smaller number of women may be studied who underwent focused ultrasound, intrauterine device (IUD), and medical management. Two follow-up study contacts with COMPARE-UF and ULTRA participants will occur to assess changes in UF symptoms and treatment failure which is defined as the need for another UF treatment procedure. Questionnaires will be used to collect data on patient-reported characteristics and outcomes and quality of life. The study's analyses will focus on comparisons of primary and secondary outcomes among women.
GenieUs developed an analysis platform that will be tested to separate study participants with ALS into four categories based on blood work. These general categories are neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy & axonal transport, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Once a disease category is established, participants in this study will receive one of four individualized supplements for 6 months and we will determine whether these are slowing ALS progression: Astaxanthin will be given for the category of neuroinflammation, Protandim for oxidative stress, Melatonin for impaired autophagy and MitoQ for mitochondrial dysfunction. During the first 3 months, participants will have routine monitoring and in months 3 through 9 they will receive the assigned supplement.
In humans, insulin is secreted in pulses from the pancreatic beta-cells, and these oscillations help to maintain fasting plasma glucose levels within a narrow normal range. These pulses become disrupted in the presence of insulin resistance. Some people have referred to Alzheimer's Disease as type 3 diabetes because the glucose uptake in the brain is reduced by 30%. Clinical observations in clinics that treat patients with insulin pulses every 5 minutes for 3 hours twice a week for 2 weeks followed by once a week for 6 weeks and followed by less frequency treatments suggest an improvement in type 2 diabetes control, reduction in insulin resistance and an improvement in diabetes complications. A patient with Parkinson's Disease was treated with this pulsed insulin paradigm and experienced dramatic improvement that has now been maintained over years. Parkinson's Disease has been reported to have a decreased glucose uptake in the brain, so pulsed insulin treatment was tried in a small number of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and there was an impression that they showed improvement. Clinics that use pulsed insulin treatment change more than one parameter of the insulin pulses which makes it difficult to determine what is giving the improvement. The euglycemic hyper-insulinemic clamp, also called a clamp, is a well-standardized test that measures insulin resistance and involves intravenous insulin infusion. This single patient study will enroll one patient with early Alzheimer's disease and insulin resistance. The subject will have one standard clamp test with continuous insulin followed by 4 clamps over a 2-week period using the same amount of insulin over the same period of time but administered in pulses every 5 minutes. This was the number of pulsed insulin treatments needed to see a dramatic improvement in Parkinson's disease. The cognition in the Alzheimer's disease patient will be thoroughly evaluated with questionnaires and walking on a special mat while doing arithmetic tasks before and after the 4 pulsed insulin clamps. If this study demonstrates an improvement in cognition, one will know that the only thing that changed from the standard clamp was the pulse nature of the insulin delivery.
