Illinois Paid Clinical Trials

The VQI TCAR Surveillance Project is designed to monitor the safety and effectiveness of stents placed directly into the carotid artery while reversing blood flow within the carotid artery to reduce stroke risk. It will compare this less-invasive surgical procedure with standard carotid endarterectomy in centers that participate in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative. Read Less

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked clinical trial. All study devices are market approved/cleared in the localities where the study is conducted. Subjects will be randomly assigned to wear NaturalVue Sphere single vision contact lenses (SVCL) or NaturalVue Multifocal (NVMF) soft contact lenses for a total of three years. Read Less

The UPGRADE registry will capture long-term, real-world outcomes to understand the effect of Differential Target Multiplexed (DTM®) programming in the Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) implanted population on the management of chronic pain, primarily on its use for trunk and/or limb pain. The clinical study is sponsored by Celéri Health and is funded through a financial grant from Medtronic's External Research Program. The registry study will be conducted across approximately 25 centers in the United States with up to 600 participants enrolled. Read Less

This registry is created under the sponsorship of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) to monitor the clinical course and treatment outcomes of patients undergoing office-based endovascular procedures. Read Less

As new orthokeratology fitting software emerges onto the market, it is of interest to assess their usefulness in guiding eye practitioners with lens fit. The goal of this study is to evaluate the comfort of Paragon orthokeratology lenses when they are fit using the new Procornea software. Read Less

This study aims specifically to compare the rates of contaminants between standard clean-catch urine collection and urine collected using the PEEZY device. In particular, this study will compare the rates of contamination as stratified by BMI status (i.e., BMI < 30 and BMI ≥30). Based on previous studies through LUHS and the Wolfe lab, we anticipate a reduction in contamination from sample collected using the PEEZY device, particularly among those pregnant women with BMI ≥30. To investigate this hypothesis we have designed a prospective unblinded randomized controlled trial comparing voided urine specimens obtained for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women presenting for obstetric care with use of standard clean-catch (CC) sampling method versus specimen obtained using PEEZY collection device.

This is a single site pilot trial to study the feasibility of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) therapy in the most severe group of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's). This procedure aims to increase fetal lung volume before birth and improve survival after birth. This study will enroll 10 pregnant women who meet study criteria. Read Less

The study objective is to examine and compare clinical outcomes, as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days (± 15 days) post treatment, and related performance characteristics of the Envi™-SR and concurrent parallel Control Devices currently cleared by the U.S. FDA for treatment of stroke.

RADIANT is a network of 14 clinical sites and several laboratories dedicated to the study of atypical diabetes. The objective of this study is to define new forms of diabetes and the unique mechanisms underlying these forms of atypical diabetes. The specific aims are to: Identify and enroll individuals and families with undiagnosed rare and atypical forms of diabetes. Determine the etiologic basis of the metabolic disorder among individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical diabetes. Understand the pathophysiology of individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical forms of diabetes. Read Less

Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) not only detects disease early when treatment is more effective but also prevents cancer by finding and removing precancerous polyps. Because many of our nation's most disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals obtain health care at federally qualified health centers, these centers play a significant role in increasing CRC screenings among the most vulnerable populations. Furthermore, the full benefits of cancer screenings must include timely and appropriate follow-up of abnormal results. Thus, the purpose of this study is to implement a multilevel intervention to increase rates of CRC screenings, follow-ups, and referrals-to-care in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). Also, we will examine the implementation strategies used to support the implementation process and their contribution to the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of the multilevel intervention. The multilevel intervention will target three different levels of influences: organization, provider, and individual. It will have multiple components, including provider and staff education, provider reminder, provider assessment and feedback, patient reminder, and patient navigation. This study is a multilevel, three-phase, stepped wedge cluster randomized trial with four clusters of clinics from four different FQHCs. Our FQHC partners together have 40 primary care clinics and 130 primary care providers. During Phase 1, there will be a 3-month waiting period during which no intervention components will be implemented. After the 3-month waiting period, we will randomize two clusters of clinics to cross from the control to the intervention and the remaining two clusters to follow three months later. All clusters of clinics will stay at the same phase for nine months, followed by a 3-month transition period, and then cross over to the next phase. In Phase 1, we will implement provider and staff education sessions. In Phase 2, we will add provider reminders, patient reminders, and provider assessment and feedback. We will add patient navigation during the last phase. Single level interventions are often insufficient at leading to sustainable changes. Multilevel interventions are needed to address multilevel contextual influences simultaneously. How to take advantage of multilevel interventions and how to implement such interventions and evaluate their effectiveness are the ultimate goals of this study. Read Less

This phase II trial tests whether vudalimab works to shrink tumors in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer or hurthle cell thyroid cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as vudalimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Read Less
