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.
This phase II trial studies how well onvansertib in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel works in treating patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Onvansertib is a small chemical molecule that binds and stops the function of of PLK1 in tumor cells. By attacking the PLK1 protein, onvansertib is thought to reduce tumor cells ability to replicate and grow; causing them to die. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy with onvansertib may kill more tumor cells in patients with locally-advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a primary care based intervention to promote optimal feeding, screen time and sleep practices among low-income Latino infants and toddlers. Infants and caregivers will receive brief health education and coaching sessions from health educators at primary care visits in the first two years of life as well as two text messages per week with health information and tips. Half of the participants will receive the Futuros Fuertes 2.0 intervention that includes health coaching and education on infant feeding, screen time and sleep (intervention group). The other half will receive health coaching and education on safety, home management of childhood illnesses, and promotion of language development (control group). We will look at the impact of the Futuros Fuertes 2.0 intervention on child BMI and various health behaviors.
Primary Goal: To test the hypothesis that among AA and Hispanic stroke patients 18-75 years with ≥3 SDOH risk factors, SHIFT will improve: (1) functional outcomes as measured by the SIS (Primary Outcome), (2) physiological outcomes as measured by changes in blood pressure and cognition, (secondary outcomes) and (3) epigenetic allostatic load biomarkers (exploratory outcome) such as DNA methylation (DNAm) and telomere length, at 6 months and 1-year post-stroke, compared with usual care (UC).
This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 & 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show improvements in health behavior counseling and the patient experience that will improve patients' motivation to change, and their CVH health behaviors and outcomes.
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific type of radiation therapy, called "proton pulsed reduced dose rate" or "PRDR radiotherapy" has any benefits at dose levels and number of fractions thought to be acceptable in earlier research studies. The researchers want to find out what effects (good and bad) PRDR has on people with cancer in the brain called a "recurrent high-grade glioma" meaning that it grows fast, can spread quickly, and it has come back or gotten worse after being treated previously.
Intensive Patient Referral and Education Program prior to Renal Replacement Therapy (iPREP RRT) is a 12-week intervention that identifies hospitalized African Americans with advanced chronic kidney disease(CKD) and provides them with hospital- and community-based education, navigation and self-management support. Participants will be randomized to the iPREP RRT intervention versus enhanced usual care.
This study is to determine the long-term levels of CNTF, and the clinical safety and efficacy of the NT-501 implants with the Medica Hollow Fiber Membrane (MHFM) in participants with macular telangiectasia type 2.
Following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, nearly two-thirds of patients experience a complication and almost a third are readmitted. Thus, intensified monitoring of this vulnerable group represents an opportunity for improved quality of care in the post-operative setting. By gathering biomarkers passively and continuously, wearable activity monitors augment remote patient monitoring. Further, they facilitate the collection of patient-reported outcomes frequently. Despite the proven impact of remote monitoring on patient care, there is limited data on the feasibility and impact of employing this technology to trigger real-time provider assessment following cystectomy. The investigators plan to conduct a randomized control trial examining such. The intervention group of participants will receive continuous biomarker monitoring via FitBits and daily patient-reported outcome assessments via connected smartphones. Abnormalities in remote data will trigger automated alerts to providers. Providers will respond in real-time to these alerts and patients will receive education materials discussing preventative measures to mitigate the main risk factors for readmissions. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of integrating this technology into the post-operative period, as well as the impact of real-time provider attention to abnormal remote data on patient-reported outcomes and rates of readmission. The investigators hypothesize that early assessment of and intervention on remote abnormalities will promote the use of outpatient or reduced intensity therapies, such as oral antibiotics or oral hydration, thus curtailing the severity of patient symptoms, intensity of complications, and need for hospitalizations. Ultimately, this trial builds upon prior research, applying patient-centered technology to improve the quality of care following cystectomy.
To find the highest safe dose of ziftomenib that can be combined with venetoclax and azacitidine in pediatric participants with acute leukemia that has certain types of genetic mutations (changes).
This trial aims at investigating the diagnostic ability of a combined diagnostic panel including systematic endoscopic evaluation (SEE), blood-based ctDNA assay, and urine-based cfDNA assay to predict the presence of residual tumor remaining in the bladder at cystectomy. Patients who are planned for cystectomy due to bladder cancer will be considered for enrollment based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
