All Clinical Trials

4 weeks of adjunctive therapy of Enstilar® QD followed by 12 weeks QOD to patients with 2-10% BSA who are receiving etanercept or adalimumab for at least 24 weeks Read Less

This is a randomized, single blinded, standard of care controlled clinical trial. This project aims to compare postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of rotator cuff repair: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen Read Less

A single center study of 30 patient receiving Narrowband UVB phototherapy three times weekly for 12 weeks. Patients will be evaluated through week 36 to evaluate maintenance of response. Read Less

International Pachyonychia Congenita Research Registry (IPCRR) is a patient registry for those suffering from Pachyonychia Congenita (PC). PC is an ultra-rare extremely painful skin disorder that causes painful blisters and callus on feet and sometimes hands, thickened nails, cysts and other features. The IPCRR consists of a questionnaire, patient photos, optional physician notes from telephone consultation to validate questionnaire and free genetic testing. Read Less

Sleeve gastrectomy is now the most commonly performed bariatric surgery. While many studies have evaluated factors that may minimize post-operative hemorrhage and staple-line leak, the investigators are unaware of any studies that compare outcomes between devices from the two main stapler manufacturers used in this surgery, Covidien and Ethicon. The purpose of this study is to compare intraoperative characteristics, such as time to create sleeve, intraoperative bleeding, and time needed to load each cartridge, and post-operative characteristics, such as any complication requiring readmission (leak or hemorrhage), further surgical intervention, and weight loss, between patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy with Covidien devices and Ethicon devices. Currently the investigators predominantly use whatever device is cheaper, but cost should not be the primary decisive factor if one device is superior to the other. If one device has better clinical outcomes, it should be the preferred device regardless of cost. If neither proves superiority, the investigators can justify using cost to determine which device to use in patient care. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the platelet count change from baseline and safety of OMS721 in adults and adolescents with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-drug antibody response (ADA). Read Less

The objectives of this single site, randomized, crossover study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interactions between aspirin, NSAIDs and Coxibs with respect to platelet function, biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial function. Read Less

The objective of this study is to examine critical aspects of radiation exposure, dose delivery, and systemic yttrium-90 (Y90) exposure related to the infusion of Y90 microspheres for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other metastatic liver disease. Read Less

Our laboratory has discovered that ultrasound (US) imaging together with clinically approved microbubble ultrasound contrast agents can augment limb tissue perfusion. These observations have been made in mice with and without peripheral artery disease (PAD), and also in humans where high power contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) was used to measure perfusion but was found also to augment perfusion by almost 2-fold. The latter human studies were performed with ultrasound protocols designed for perfusion imaging and not for flow augmentation. In this study, we will measure the degree to which limb perfusion is augmented with specific therapeutic CEU settings that are still within the FDA-approved limits with regards to US power and contrast dosing.
