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 project is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to explore the state of excitability of corticocortical and corticofugal (cortex to spinal cord, cortex to brainstem to spinal cord) pathways that project to muscles that control the legs and trunk in people with Parkinson's disease. The outcome variables will be further analyzed to understand their relationship to quantitative measures of postural instability and gait dysfunction. As such, the project can be classified as basic physiologic research. The protocol is not designed to determine if measures of corticocortical or corticofugal excitability can be used as a biomarker to predict disease progression.
Nearly half of cancer patients in the US will receive care that is inconsistent with their wishes prior to death. Early advanced care planning (ACP) and palliative care improve goal-concordant care and symptoms and reduce unnecessary utilization. A promising strategy to increase ACP and palliative care is to identify patients at risk of mortality earlier in the disease course in order to target these services. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used in various industries, including medicine, to accurately predict risk of adverse outcomes and direct earlier resources. "Human-machine collaborations" - systems that leverage both ML and human intuition - have been shown to improve predictions and decision-making in various situations, but it is not known whether human-machine collaborations can improve prognostic accuracy and lead to greater and earlier ACP and palliative care. In this study, we contacted a national sample of medical oncologists and invited them complete a vignette-based survey. Our goal was to examine the association of exposure to ML mortality risk predictions with clinicians' prognostic accuracy and decision-making. We presented a series of six vignettes describing three clinical scenarios specific to a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) that differ by age, gender, performance status, smoking history, extent of disease, symptoms and molecular status. We will use these vignette-based surveys to examine the association of exposure to ML mortality risk predictions with medical oncologists' prognostic accuracy and decision-making.
This is a study for Black women living with HIV to test a counseling program for Black women living with HIV. This participant may be a good fit if the participant is a Black woman, living with HIV, has a history of trauma, and is currently taking Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) medicines
The purpose of this research is learn about how OmniGraf works in kidney pancreas transplant patients. Also, to analyze the performance characteristics of OmniGrafTM (TruGraf Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) and T Cell Receptor Alpha Constant (TRAC) dd-cfDNA) in a population of simultaneous kidney pancreas transplants as a part of routine surveillance, as well as a part of the workup for patients clinically suspected to have rejection of the kidney and/or pancreas.
This was a non-interventional (observational), retrospective, cohort study of women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-type 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer who started treatment with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) in Portugal. This was a study of medication use patterns, based on information from the hospital pharmacies of the participating centers. Patients who started a CDKi 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) between 1 March 2019 and 31 December 2019 were included and followed through 24 months. A follow-up occurred 6 months after the start of CDKi 4/6 (ribociclib or palbociclib) to quantify the occurrence of dose changes.
The aim of this study is to investigate the use of a mechanical device to remove skin tags in adults. The device ("Skin Tag Removal", or STR) utilizes the ligation method by applying a silicone band around the base of a skin tag, therefore restricting the blood supply, which is vital to its growth and survival. Because this method does not include freezing or burning of tissue in or around the skin tag, it could be considered less invasive and less risky than other options.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a new oral cladribine formulation in participants with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) in comparison to placebo. It will also investigate the sustained efficacy, the need for retreatment, and the long-term safety of oral cladribine in gMG. An additional component is included to characterize the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of the new cladribine formulation in gMG participants. This study is divided into 3 periods: the double-blind placebo control (DBPC) pivotal period, and 2 extensions, the blinded extension (BE) and the retreatment (RT) period.
This research study is being done to determine the rate of testosterone recovery after completing two years of treatment with the combination of relugolix and darolutamide as well as to assess the safety of the drugs when administered in combination. The names of the drugs in this study are: - Relugolix (a type of gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist) - Darolutamide (a type of androgen receptor antagonist)
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)
Researchers will investigate the ability of Xevinapant to cross the blood-brain barrier and exert anti-tumor effects on rHGG through activation of apoptosis. We hypothesize that oral administration of Xevinapant has acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with recurrent HGG and demonstrate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects in HGG tumors. To that end, we will engage in a phase I "window of opportunity" translational clinical trial in patients undergoing a clinically-indicated craniotomy for resection of their recurrent tumors to evaluate the impact of treatment on rHGG.
