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 goal of this clinical trial is to address the high rates of overweight/obesity in Puerto Rican (PR) men. The main question it aims to answer is whether virtual culturally relevant classes supporting physical activity and healthy eating for Puerto Rican men at different levels of acculturation to the US culture, will help these men achieve clinically meaningful weight loss. The purpose of this project is to assess whether a virtual intervention tailored for Puerto Rican men that includes information about healthy eating, physical activity, sedentary behavior is feasible and acceptable compared to a general health (GH) intervention. It is also to determine whether this intervention leads to healthier eating, increased physical activity, less sedentary behavior (low activity), and clinically meaningful weight loss. Hypothesis 1: Test the feasibility (recruitment, retention, adherence, fidelity) and acceptability (treatment components, intervention leaders, telehealth modality, technology and equipment, intervention satisfaction, satisfaction with randomized study, and measures) of a randomized 4-month synchronous telehealth lifestyle intervention led by a community health promoter and behavioral health specialist, who will receive either: TeleSalud HE-PA/SB" or TeleSalud GH in 48 PR men. Hypothesis 2: Demonstrate proof -of-concept by achieving a clinically significant weight reduction of ≥ 5% of baseline weight in the TeleSalud HE-PA/SB intervention after 4 months and at the end of the 4-month maintenance compared to the TeleSalud General Health intervention. Researchers will compare this to a group that will receive information about general health topics - not healthy eating or physical activity. - Participants in both groups will meet via virtually for 4 months (twice per week for 3 months and once per week for 1 month). - Participants will then meet one per month for a maintenance session for the next 4 months.
The purpose of this study is to better understand pediatric pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), which is the narrowing of blood vessels that connect the lungs to the heart. PVS is a life-threatening disease without a clear cause. The investigators think patients who develop PVS have an increased Wall Shear Stress (WSS) level in the pulmonary veins, which is the force placed on the walls of the veins. This study will determine if WSS can be calculated in the pulmonary veins of infants using Ferumoxytol enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FcMRI). If possible, the investigators aim to use FcMRI to better screen patients at risk of PVS and to help guide therapy in patients with PVS.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety, effects, and recommended dose of an investigational drug, ziftomenib, in addition to the standard treatment on blood cancer with Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT). This study plans to learn more about ziftomenib, which targets and inhibits negative interactions within cancer cells related to AML, when given after allo-HCT, to determine if it improves outcomes following allo-HCT. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: • Ziftomenib
Various spine surgeons perform wound irrigation using saline mixed with vancomycin, relying on mechanical debridement of non-viable tissue, physical disruption of biofilm, and bacteriostatic effect against gram positive flora. When used as a powder, topical application of vancomycin has demonstrated increased risk of symptomatic seroma formation, which is an adverse outcome that often requires bedside or intra-operative aspiration. Broad-spectrum antiseptic agents, such as Irrisept, offer bacteriocidal properties to eliminate hardware inoculation, thereby minimizing the risk of deep space infection, while obviating the risk of seroma development.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-emapalumab as an IFN-γ PET imaging agent to detect lesions and response to therapy among treatment-naïve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. PET scans following the imaging agent will be completed prior to and about 30 days after starting immunotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a sequence of drugs (a Taxane plus Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab followed by Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, followed by Tucatinib plus Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1), followed by Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab plus Tucatinib) in HER2+ Breast Cancer. The study will help investigators understand whether first intensifying therapy for a specific period and then stopping treatment is safe and effective for participants. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Paclitaxel (a type of anti-microtubule agent) - Docetaxel (a type of anti-microtubule agent) - Nab-Paclitaxel (a type of anti-microtubule agent) - Trastuzumab (a type of IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody) - Pertuzumab (a type of monoclonal antibody) - Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (a type of HER2-directed antibody drug conjugate) - Tucatinib (Tyrosine Kinase HER2 Inhibitor) - Ado-trastuzumab emtansine or T-DM1 (a type of HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate)
The purpose of the study is design and use a telemedicine platform which integrates video-chat, pre-programmed interactive game-based foot, and ankle exercise modules, and real-time quantitative performance metrics displayed to the clinician to improve patient's perfusion to the lower extremity, improve diabetic wound healing and prevent muscle loss in the lower extremity.This is a cross sectional and comparative feasibility study. It is designed to explore acceptability, feasibility and proof of concept/ .
Hypercholesterolemia is recognized as the major driver for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To help address this in our community, Atlantic Medical Group (AMG) formed a lipid workgroup chaired by Robert D. Fishberg, MD, and Jeffrey N. Feldman, MD. The overarching goal of the lipid workgroup is to enhance the treatment of lipid disorders in those patients with abnormal lipid levels by improving access to resources at the primary care practice level and specialty level. We aim to develop a model for primary and secondary prevention that integrates guidelines for treatment at the practice level. Our primary objective is to identify high-risk patients by utilizing the electronic health record and partnering with patients' primary care providers to provide comprehensive medical management.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the overall quality of life of participants taking Relugolix combination therapy (Rel-CT) following excisional surgery for endometriosis to participants that do not take Rel-CT following the same surgery. Rel-CT is an FDA approved form of medical treatment for endometriosis. It is known to work in treating endometriosis pain. However, investigators do not know whether or not there is a benefit to beginning Rel-CT immediately following surgery. This study will test if patients who take Rel-CT after surgery have better quality of life and less chance the endometriosis comes back, requiring additional surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does taking Rel-CT following excisional surgery for endometriosis result in higher Endometriosis Health Profile 30 (EHP-30) scores, indicating a positive impact on overall health-related quality of life and well-being? Participants will: - Be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One treatment group will take study drug Rel-CT after having excisional surgery, and the other treatment group will just have the surgery alone. - Be asked to complete questionnaires, called the Endometriosis Health Profile 30 (EHP-30) at 4 timepoints. The first time is before surgery, then at follow-up visits at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The survey has 30 questions that ask about pain, control, powerlessness, emotional well-being, social support, and self-image. Researchers will compare the two treatment groups (Rel-CT and non Rel-CT) to see if there is a change in EHP-30 scores.
