Georgia Paid Clinical Trials

This phase II trial tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab works to shrink tumors in patients with liver cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Nivolumab and ipilimumab may be effective in killing tumor cells in patients with liver cancer. Read Less

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of R2R01 combined with terlipressin as compared to terlipressin alone in the treatment of patients with HRS-AKI Read Less

This will be a prospective, interventional, single-center, randomized, controlled, comparative study comparing a total of 10 patients treated with BTM and SOC in wounds diagnosed with Hidradenitis suppurativa (5 in each group). Read Less

This is a Phase 1 study of IMS001, given as a single dose to subjects with Multiple Sclerosis who experience inadequate response and/or intolerability to disease modifying treatments. IMS001 is a human embryonic cell derived (hESC) mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). MSCs have the potential to modulate disease course. Read Less

This study is a two-stage, pivotal, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, within patient comparison of the SENSE device and the standard diagnostic test, head CT scan in patients with a diagnosis of primary spontaneous ICH or traumatic intracranial bleeding for the detection and monitoring of intracranial hemorrhages.

Stage A: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of red blood cells (RBCs) prepared with the INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells Pathogen Reduction Treatment (PRT) in comparison to conventional RBCs in patients who require RBC transfusion support. Stage B: To provide early access to the INTERCEPT pathogen reduction system for RBC in regions where a substantial proportion of the population has been infected or is at risk of a transfusion-transmissible infection. The objectives and design of Stage B will be reassessed on the completion of Stage A, in consultation with the FDA. Read Less

The purpose of this study to develop a well-characterized library of blood, biopsy tissue, and urine samples from transplant patients. Subjects without transplants will also be enrolled for comparison. Samples will be used to study the characteristics of patients undergoing transplantation that influence their response to transplant therapies and their reactions to drugs used in transplantation. This knowledge is important as it helps physicians design new drugs and tailor transplant therapies to the individual thereby reducing the side effects. In this study, people will be asked to donate blood, biopsy tissue and urine. Donation of these samples will not influence patients' treatments. These samples will be tested using a variety of biological tests to better understand how immunosuppressive drugs change the various components of the immune system. The tests will be for research only; no changes in an individual's treatment will be based on the results of tests performed in this study. If there is extra sample, the sample will be stored for use in other testing at a later date. The ultimate goal is find the right combination of medications for each individual patient while keeping their new organ working well. This study is a first step in that direction by perfecting tests used to characterize a patient's immune system Read Less

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 study that will enroll approximately 368 subjects aged 18 to 75 years old with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis. Read Less

Prospective, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and performance of the AltaValve for the treatment of moderate to severe or severe mitral valve regurgitation in subjects who are considered high risk for mortality and morbidity from conventional open-heart surgery. Read Less

This study aims to look at the long term efficacy of using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in relieving Gulf War Illness related headaches and pain. Read Less

The purpose of this research use only (RUO) study is to detect genomic structural variants (SVs) in human DNA by Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) using the Bionano Genomics Saphyr system. SVs are a type of genetic alternation that includes deletions, duplications, and both balanced and unbalanced rearrangements (ex: inversions or translocations), as well as specific repeat expansions and contractions. The results of OGM analysis will be compared to prior clinical genetic test results to determine how OGM compares to current standard of care (SOC) clinical test methods such as chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), karyotyping, Southern blot analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and/or next generation sequencing (NGS), etc. Read Less

This study is a Phase 1 clinical trial to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Tocilizumab (Actemra) as an adjunct to antipsychotic medications in stable outpatients with schizophrenia. Tocilizumab (structural formula C6428H9976N1720O2018S42) is a recombinant humanized anti-human interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) subclass. Tocilizumab is formulated as a concentrate for solution for infusion, and will be administered by intravenous infusion. The investigators propose a 12-week randomized controlled trial of tocilizumab, given in adjunct to antipsychotics, in N=20 stable outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and evidence of increased inflammation in the peripheral blood (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\]\>0.5 mg/dL). The investigators hypothesize that adjunctive treatment with tocilizumab will be associated with significant improvement in cognition compared to placebo in patients with schizophrenia, and baseline IL-6 levels are higher in tocilizumab-treated responders versus non-responders, and there will be greater decreases in hsCRP from baseline to week 12 in tocilizumab-versus placebo-treated responders, with response defined as ≥0.5 standard deviation (SD) improvement in cognition. Tocilizumab is administered as an intravenous infusion every 4 weeks. Following a screening evaluation, participants will receive three infusions of siltuximab, one at baseline, another at week 4 of the study, and another at week 8. The investigators will measure changes in cognitive function and symptoms over a 12-week period. Complementing previous positive clinical trials of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, this would be a "proof-of-concept" study that targeting specific cytokines is a viable treatment for schizophrenia. Interleukin 6 and its receptor were discovered and cloned at Osaka University, Japan, by Tadamitsu Kishimoto in the 1980s. In 1997, Chugai Pharmaceuticals began the clinical development of tocilizumab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical studies for Castleman's disease and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis started in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Hoffmann-La Roche co-developed the drug due to a license agreement in 2003. On 11 January 2010, Tocilizumab was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) as Actemra for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The FDA approved tocilizumab for the treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis for children from two years of age in April 2011. Read Less
