Arizona Paid Clinical Trials

The current study proposes to develop, refine, and conduct a preliminary randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an innovative prevention program that is the first to (a) simultaneously target heavy episodic drinking (HED), sexually aggressive behavior (SAB), and risky sexual behavior (RSB) among college men; (b) integrate personalized feedback and cognitive training strategies; and (c) target the five major modifiable risk factors for SAB: HED, impersonal sex, misperceptions of sexual interest, rape-supportive attitudes, and peer influence. The program will be computer-delivered as this approach is well received by college students. Read Less

This multi-site clinical trial occurs at the University of Minnesota and University of Rochester. It tests the efficacy and additive/synergistic effects of an ACT intervention on cognition and relevant mechanisms (aerobic fitness, Alzheimer's disease [AD] signature cortical thickness, and default mode network [DMN]) in older adults with amnestic MCI (aMCI).

This project will investigate the efficacy of a Stimfix Trail lead anchor system (StimfixTM) in patients undergoing dorsal column stimulator trial. In dorsal column stimulator trails, two leads are placed in the epidural space and various frequencies, pulse widths, and amplitudes are run to reduce pain perception. This therapy has been in use for the last 70 years and today there are about 100,000 implants done annually for various pain indications. The process of obtaining the therapy requires a trial period of seven days with percutaneous epidural leads connected to an external pulse generator (EPG). During this trial phase there has been incidence of lead migration in about 5-10% of patients resulting in trial failure. The function of StimfixTM is to standardize the lead anchoring procedure and to reduce the incidences of lead migration during the spinal cord stimulation trial phase. Read Less

Bluestar Genomics has developed a non-invasive test that aids in detection of occult pancreatic cancer in patients with new onset type II diabetes (NOD) who are 50 years old or older. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of Bluestar Genomics early-detection pancreatic cancer test in a clinical setting. The study is prospective, longitudinal and interventional; tests will be ordered and results returned to site-investigators. If the test returns a pancreatic cancer signal "detected" result the study participant will undergo MRI imaging to evaluate for the presence of pancreatic cancer. The study is planned to enroll 6,550 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Read Less

The full experiment involves participants coming into the lab on five separate occasions for neuropsychological testing, a decision making battery, functional and structural MRI, and two TMS sessions for stimulation of the target or control stimulation site. The clinical trial component concerns only the last two sessions where subjects will be randomly assigned to different groups to receive different TMS interventions. In particular, the TMS experiments will ask two main questions: What is the causal role of frontal pole in explore-exploit behavior in younger and older adults? What is the causal role of IFG in explore-exploit behavior in younger and older adults? The investigators will use continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS, Huang et al. 2005) to inhibit neural activity in each region for approximately 50 minutes (Wischnewski & Schutter, 2015) and measure the downstream effects on behavior in younger and older adults. Consistent with their respective roles in the explore-exploit circuit (Figure 5 in Research Strategy), the investigators predict that inhibition of frontal pole will lead to a selective reduction in directed, but not random, exploration, while inhibition of IFG will decrease exploitation and lead to increases in both types of exploration. Participants in each age group will be pseudo-randomly assigned to either the frontal pole group or IFG group such that the study will have 42 participants (21 males, 21 females) in each group. Thus there will be four distinct groups of subjects older frontal pole, younger frontal pole, older IFG, younger IFG. Each participant will take part in two TMS sessions, one target and one control session. The order of sessions will be counterbalanced across subjects. The primary endpoints of the study are to determine whether: cTBS applied to frontal pole inhibits directed exploration within the younger and older groups cTBS applied to IFG promotes both directed and random exploration within the younger and older groups The study is powered to answer these questions with 80% power at a threshold of p < 0.05.

This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study. Subjects will have OmniGraf™ (TruGraf® and TRAC™) testing at study enrollment and thereafter every 3 months. In addition subjects will have OmniGraf™ (TruGraf® and TRAC™) testing at any time there is a clinical suspicion of acute rejection. Data collection for the primary objective extends over a 2-year period. Read Less

This is a Phase 1, nonrandomized, open-label, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR19B in adult study participants with CD-19 expressing malignancies. Read Less

A prospective multicenter observational study, led by Dr. Katie Russell of Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital, that will examine the sensitivity, specificity, negative, and positive predictive values of CT scan and plain films in diagnosing cervical spine injury that requires treatment. This study is funded by the Primary Children's Hospital foundation. Read Less

Preterm infants are randomized to received either Intra-tracheal instillation of budesonide using surfactant as vehicle or a placebo. Intra-tracheal instillation of budesonide using surfactant as vehicle would facilitate its delivery to the periphery of the lung and would inhibit lung inflammation and mitigate acute lung injury.
