Chicago, IL Paid Clinical Trials

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is increasingly being performed in patients with advanced coronary artery disease, but there is limited information on the techniques utilized and the procedural outcomes. The goal of this multicenter, investigator initiated registry is to collect information on treatment strategies and outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing CTO PCI among various participating centers. The information collected will be used to determine the frequency of CTO PCI performed at the participating sites and examine the procedural strategies utilized, and the procedural (both immediate and during follow-up) outcomes.

A Prospective, Single center, Single-Arm Clinical Study of 13-20 study participants who are seeking a procedure to reduce the appearance of the peri-orbital wrinkles. Each study participant will receive up to four (4) treatments with the Tixel in a monthly interval. Follow-up will occur 1 month and 3 months following last treatment. Read Less

The goal of the study is to understand how best to help parents of young children with sickle cell disease and their clinicians have a shared discussion about hydroxyurea (one that takes into account medical evidence and parent values and preferences). The study will compare two methods to help clinicians facilitate this-a clinician pocket guide and a clinician hydroxyurea shared decision making toolkit-in a group of parents of children ages 0-5 with sickle cell disease. The investigators hope that both methods lead to parents reaching a high-quality, well-informed decision. In addition, the team hopes to demonstrate that parents who experience a shared decision will have lower anxiety and decisional uncertainty. The researchers also expect these parents to be more likely to choose hydroxyurea and that their children will have less pain, fewer hospitalizations, better developmental outcomes, and higher quality of life. The project team hopes to show that the toolkit method is easy for clinicians to use and gives parents the support needed to make an informed decision. Read Less

A Phase 3 study to examine the safety and effectiveness of the allogeneic, adult stem cell investigational product, MultiStem, in adults who have suffered an acute ischemic stroke in the previous 18-36 hours. Read Less

The SIESTA-Rehabilitation protocol combines two sleep-promoting interventions, (1) empowering nurses to reduce unnecessary disruptions and (2) a systematic protocol to screen, diagnose, and treat sleep-disordered breathing, to determine its impact on relevant sleep and rehabilitation outcomes in the acute inpatient stroke rehabilitation setting compared to the standard of care. Our primary outcome is change in Quality Indicator (QI) score, a measure that has replaced the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) in the inpatient setting at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, between admission and discharge.

The study's objective is to test the hypothesis that immune system activation and subsequent systemic inflammation can be detected through continuously tracking multiple bio signals including physiologic variables (ECG, skin temperature and their derivatives) and behavioral variables (activity and sleep from accelerometers) collected during routine activities of daily living using wearable biosensors. In the sub-study, the objective is to explore the association between these objectively measured physiologic changes and vaccine-induced humoral and T-cell responses. Read Less

This Phase 2/3 trial evaluates four treatment strategies for non-critically ill hospitalized participants (not requiring ICU admission and/or mechanical ventilation) with SARS CoV-2 infection, in which participants will receive NA-831 or Atazanavir with or without Dexamethasone. Read Less

OBJECTIVES: Physical activity has been established as an important component of rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis (OA), and is often guided by a physical therapist.(1) Physical therapy for knee OA typically involves 1-3 sessions with a licensed physical therapist per week, for up to 12 weeks. These sessions can take a lot of time and effort for subjects, particularly when travel times are considered. Remote patient monitoring is an emerging treatment method which can help to reduce the need for in-person treatment sessions. Remote patient monitoring has been tested in subjects after a total knee arthroplasty, and initial results show that subjects find the process motivating and engaging.(2) This process has not been tested in individuals with symptomatic knee OA. Prior studies have shown that personalized internet based programs are effective at improving function in individuals with knee OA(3), but the effectiveness of these programs with remote patient monitoring is unknown. One example of current wearable technology that can be utilized for remote patient monitoring is the Opum (OPUM) Digital Knee® (ODK) modular orthotic. The ODK utilizes a wearable device in a knee brace which relays real time information back to the subject and physical therapist via their mobile phone. The ODK can provide information about sagittal and frontal plane knee kinematics, sagittal plane knee range of motion, time spent performing various daily activities, time spent exercising, overall load on the knee joint, and progress over time in each of these metrics. This device has been previously tested in subjects after an ACL reconstruction, but has yet to be tested in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of the ODK technology in a medial knee unloader brace with remote patient monitoring on pain, function, and quality of life in individuals with knee OA. This study will contain two groups: A control group receiving a medial unloader brace and a personalized home exercise program, and an intervention group which will receive an ODK in a medial off-loader brace, and a home exercise program with remote patient monitoring. The hypothesis is that subjects who wear the knee brace with the ODK with remote patient monitoring will have a greater reduction in pain and increase in quality of life than those who receive the brace with a home exercise program.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib in combination with venetoclax and acalabrutinib in combination with venetoclax with and without obinutuzumab compared to chemoimmunotherapy in subjects with previously untreated CLL. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of producing artificial vision in persons with blindness. Study participants will have wireless electrical stimulators implanted into the cortical vision processing areas of their brains. The ability of the participants to perceive artificial vision in response to electrical stimulation will be assessed. Read Less

Accurate preoperative identification of patients at high risk for adverse outcomes would be clinically advantageous, as it would allow enhanced resource preparation, better surgical decision-making, enhanced patient education and informed consent, and potentially even modification of certain modifiable risk factors. The aim of the Prediction of adverse events after microsurgery for intracranial unruptured aneurysms (PRAEMIUM) study is therefore to develop and externally validate a clinically applicable, robust ML-based prediction tool based on multicenter data from a range of international centers.
