All clinical trials

Hypertension (HTN) is the leading modifiable cause of cardiovascular disease. Rural individuals experience challenges of the rural health divide: geographic distance from providers, social isolation, limited social resources, and high rates of low health literacy. This study evaluates a home-based blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) program that provides longitudinal health education, empathic guidance, monitoring, and adaptable patient-centered coaching to rural individuals. Participants in this study will be randomized to receive (1) HBPM with the intervention; or (2) the control, consisting of HBPM and a smartphone with a general health application (WebMD).

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority, multiple-center trial. Outpatients who are scheduled to undergo colonoscopy and found eligible polyps will be randomized to receive either cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (CS-EMR) or hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection (HS-EMR). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of CS-EMR or HS-EMR for the resection of non-pedunculated colorectal polyps sized 10-19mm.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC complicated with COPD and its influence on the course of COPD, so as to provide prospective clinical evidence for immunotherapy of NSCLC complicated with COPD in China and to guide clinical application.

Can antibiotic drugs be administered faster and make acceptable serum concentrations if we give short but multiple infusions compared to long and fewer infusions? In this study we will compare giving meropenem 1 gram 6 times daily in 15 minutes infusions to the recommended 2 gram 3 times daily in 3 hours infusions. In patients in the intensive care unit, the need for intravenous access is of essence. If 6 short infusions results in the same serum concentrations as 3 long infusions, we will increase intravenous access from 15 to 22.5 hours daily.

The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanisms that underlie the beneficial effects of music-based treatments in individuals with moderate to severe chronic low back pain

An effective treatment for adults B-ALL represents a significant unmet need. CN201 has demonstrated efficacy in nonclinical models of leukemia .CN201 has a longer half-life, thus long term continuous intravenous infusion is not necessary for clinical use. The present study will be conducted in 2 parts: Phase Ib is a dose findingphase to identify the RP2D. Phase II will allow further evaluation of the safety and efficacy of CN201 at the RP2D.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is characterized by problematic alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant distress. This disorder is associated with high relapse rates, with one in five patients remaining abstinent 12 months post-treatment. Traditional face-to-face relapse prevention treatment (RPT) is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that examines one's situational triggers, maladaptive thought processes, self-efficacy, and motivation, however access to this treatment is frequently limited due to its high cost, long waitlists, and inaccessibility. Thus, an online adaptation of RPT (e-RPT) could address these limitations by providing a more cost-effective and accessible delivery method for mental health care in this population. This study aims to establish the first academic e-RPT program to address AUD in the general population. We will recruit adult participants (n = 60) with a confirmed diagnosis of AUD. Then, these participants will be randomly assigned to receive ten sessions of e-RPT or face-to-face RPT. e-RPT will consist of 10 predesigned modules and homework with asynchronous personalized feedback from a therapist. Face-to-face RPT will consist of 10, one-hour long face-to-face sessions with a therapist. The predesigned modules and the face-to-face sessions will present the same content and structure. Self-efficacy, resilience, depressive symptomatology, and alcohol consumption will be measured through various questionnaires at baseline, week 5, and week 10. Outcome data will be assessed using linear and binomial regression (continuous and categorical outcomes respectively). Qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis methods.

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, food effect (FE), pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally administered XW014 in healthy participants and patients with T2DM. This study will consist of 3 parts: a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) part in healthy subjects (Part A), and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) parts in healthy subjects with elevated BMI (Part B) and patients with T2DM (Part C).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VX-634 at various doses.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dual task training on balance, gait, dual-task performance, cognitive function, fatigue and functional mobility in people with Multiple Sclerosis(MS).
