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 objective of the HELPLINE Weight Loss Program is to determine the comparative effectiveness of two active multi-component, augmented interventions for cancer survivors with overweight or obesity who do not achieve early weight loss goal in the initial intervention period (termed, early non-responders). The core study design is randomized controlled trial with adaptive intervention. 1. CORE Helpline in all participants (first 2 months) 2. Extended Helpline in early responders (additional 6 months) 3. Enhanced Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months) 4. Intensive Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months)
The investigators are interested in learning more about how the role of mothers' emotions has on the transmission of suicide risk to children. Eligible participants will be invited to participate in a baseline assessment, and 4 follow-up assessments in the next year. This research study is a randomized control trial. Participants that choose to enroll are randomly assigned, that is by chance (like by flipping a coin) to receive DBT Skills Training or treatment as usual (TAU). Participants may also be selected for DBT skills training, it which would occur once a week for 6 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of omega-3 on physical performance and recovery of Soldiers. Objectives 1: Assess the impact of 8-weeks of daily consumption of 1600mg of omega-3 fortified smoothie on O3I response. Objective 2: Determine the relationship between O3I and measures of performance and recovery. Participants will: - Be randomly assigned to placebo group or to the omega-3 fortified smoothie group. - The intervention group will take omega-3 fortified smoothies and controls will consume a non-fortified smoothie, five days a week for 8 weeks. - Participate in Army Combat Fitness Tests (ACFT) - Complete surveys that assess dietary intake, physical activity (PAQ) and sleep quality (PSQI). - Complete a finger prick to determine omega-3 index. Assessments will be collected pre/post intervention. Researchers will compare intervention and placebo groups to see if omega-3 levels increase, and improve physical performance and recovery.
Despite the widespread use of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), the HIV epidemic continues to impact racial and ethnic minority populations disproportionately. Although Black/African American persons account for 13% of the U.S. population, they account for 41% of new HIV diagnoses and experience the lowest rates of retention in HIV care and viral suppression (VS) compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Structural racism and discrimination (SRD) likely contribute to racial disparities in HIV outcomes. Although the outpatient setting is a vitally important aspect of care provision for PLWH, there are limited data on the impact of intra-organizational SRD on HIV outcomes. Longitudinal engagement in HIV care is needed for sustained VS, decreased community transmission of HIV. The organizational social context (OSC) includes organizational culture (organizational norms and values that drive quality of care), organizational climate (perception of the culture and how it impacts personal well-being), and workers' attitudes. Using a randomized controlled trial, we will implement ARC (Accessibility, Responsiveness, Continuity) to improve organizational behavior and reduce racial disparities in HIV outcomes for PLWH. ARC is an evidence-based intervention that uses three strategies (ARC principles, ARC component tools, and ARC mental models) to create OSCs that support the implementation of interventions to improve patient outcomes. Clinics will be randomized to ARC (n = 2) or standard of care (SOC; n= 2). Those assigned to ARC will address SRD occurring at the organizational level affecting care, including referral and treatment patterns for PLWH. A pre-implementation period will be followed by ARC and ARC-associated implementation strategies for 36 months and then a 12-month post-implementation period where we will continue to measure HIV outcomes in both arms. We will compare HIV outcomes, namely VS and retention in care, and intermediate outcomes, such as linkage to mental health treatment and staff turn-over in clinics assigned to ARC and SOC. We will also evaluate whether individual (self-efficacy, perceived discrimination) and organizational factors (OSC and cohesion of OSC measures) mediate the relationship between ARC, intermediate, and HIV outcomes. In preparation to the RCT, we will evaluate baseline OSC measures across 12 HIV clinics in Philadelphia and determine aspects of the OSC associated with VS and retention in care in a multi-level model adjusting for neighborhood SRD, patient-level factors, and clustering of patients nested in clinics and neighborhoods. We will then test the effectiveness of ARC in improving a primary outcome of VS and secondary outcome of retention in care at the end of the implementation period. We will examine the acceptability, sustainability, and cost of implementing ARC in outpatient HIV care. This research will advance understanding of the impact of SRD on HIV treatment outcomes and health services research and the implementation of a disseminable evidence-based practice aimed at reducing SRD.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study in the acute treatment of patients with a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features (bipolar mania), with or without psychotic symptoms, according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
Potential participants will be screened at clinic. Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be considered for study. After written informed consent is obtained, participants will complete baseline testing and participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized 1:1 to 2 treatment arms: Vivo Arm: Vivo twice a week for 6 months and Usual Care Arm: meet with ATC and given Medbridge home exercise program for 6 months. All participants will be followed for 12 months, and will be assessed at 3-,6-, and 12-months. All participants will complete functional assessments, OA patient reported outcomes measures, quality of life, exercise self-efficacy, and fall risk questionnaires, and health care utilization report at each testing visit. A subset of Vivo participants will be asked satisfaction questions at the 3 and 6 month time points.
The purpose of this Phase 1, first in human open-label study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TRX-103 in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing HLA-mismatched related or unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is anticipated that up to 36 Subjects will be enrolled during a 18-24 month enrollment period. TRX-103 will be infused one time post HSCT.
The main objective is to study how astegolimab may behave in the body when injected subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm in healthy participants.
The goal of PEER-Heart is to implement and assess feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a community peer-facilitated screening for methamphetamine-associated heart failure (MAHF) and linkage to evidence-based cardiology care for people who use methamphetamine in rural areas.
Background: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a severe type of sinus infection. People with AFRS develop heavy mucus and growths called polyps that apply pressure to the sinuses and block their breathing. Surgery can remove the polyps, but they often grow back. Researchers want to test an approved drug they believe may help people with AFRS. Objective: To test a drug (Dupilumab) in people with AFRS. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older with suspected AFRS who are scheduled to undergo surgery for nasal polyps. Design: Participants will have several tests before their surgery. They will have imaging scans of their sinuses. They will have an endoscopic exam: A tube with a camera and a light will be inserted into their sinuses. They may give blood and mucus samples. They will have standard treatment with nasal sprays for 2 to 6 weeks before their surgery. Excess nasal tissue removed during the surgery will be collected for research. Then they will begin treatment with the study drug. Dupilumab is injected under the skin. Some participants will receive the study drug. Some will receive a placebo injections. The placebo injections are just like the study drug but contain no medicine. Participants will not know which injections they are getting. All participants will administer the injections to themselves at home. They will do this every 2 weeks for 1 year after the surgery. They will have a clinic visit 16 weeks after surgery. Participants will have follow-up for 12 weeks after treatment ends.
