Animal-Assisted Visitation Program Chlorhexidine Trial
NCT04171817
Recruiting
Hospital-based Animal-Assisted visitation programs are important complementary therapies, but concerns with infection control may challenge the sustainability of these programs. Pilot data suggest that a low-cost chlorhexidine-based intervention targeted to the dogs involved in the visitation programs holds high potential to prevent pathogen transmission during sessions. In this study, the following aims will be tested: 1) To identify program-related risk factors for acquisition of hospital-asso... Read More

This study is conducted in two phases. The phase 1 portion of the study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and effectiveness of lurbinectedin monotherapy in pediatric participants with previously treated solid tumors. This is followed by the phase 2 portion, to further assess the effectiveness and safety in pediatric and young adult participants with recurrent/refractory Ewing sarcoma.

Continuous Compartment Pressure Monitoring for Compartment Syndrome in VA-ECMO Patients
NCT05830721
Recruiting
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a surgical emergency that can develop in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ACS is a type of limb ischemia, which means that the limb, such as the arm or leg, loses blood flow. Patients on ECMO can develop this condition for many reasons, but most commonly from the ECMO procedure itself. This most commonly involves the leg. Key symptoms of ACS include severe pain, loss of pulses, loss of feeling, and inability to move the limb. However, be... Read More

Direct Observation Study of Kratom Product Effects Among Regular Consumers
NCT06089980
Recruiting
The goal of this observational clinical study is to is to learn more about how commercial kratom products affect healthy adults who consume them regularly. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the acute physiological, subjective, and cognitive effects of kratom following participant self-administration of a single oral dose of the participants usual kratom product at the participants typical dose? 2. What are the physiological, subjective, and cognitive effects associated with... Read More

Hemodynamic Assessment of underLying myocyTe Function in Right Heart Failure
NCT06299436
Recruiting
Right ventricular (RV) failure is recognized to worsen patient outcomes in the setting of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)-related pulmonary hypertension (PH), yet the investigators fall short in trying to identify and treat it. The current proposal will (1) determine the best clinical indicators of intrinsic RV myocyte contractile failure in humans with HFrEF-PH, (2) clarify underlying mechanisms, and (3) test novel treatments on RV myocytes. The long-term goal of this propo... Read More

Vallomix Socket Preservation Study
NCT06472453
Recruiting
This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two bone grafting materials on preserving jawbone integrity after tooth extraction. Following extraction, the jawbone surrounding the removed tooth can shrink, affecting future implant placement. By placing a bone graft material in the extraction socket, we aim to maintain adequate jawbone space for future implants. This study compares how well the mixture of vallos®f (human source bone) and Bio-Oss (animal source bone) \[test\], and vallos® onl... Read More

Prospective Functional, Gait, and Outcome Comparison Study of Medial Pivot Versus Single Radius Design for Total Knee Arthroplasty
NCT04814082
Recruiting
Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which could lead to an improvement in post-surgical outcomes and satisfaction with the procedure. The aim of this study is to compare two types of implant designs (medial pivo... Read More

Intravesical BCG vs GEMDOCE in NMIBC
NCT05538663
Recruiting
The study hypothesis is that BCG naïve non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients treated with intravesical Gemcitabine + Docetaxel (GEMDOCE) will result in a non-inferior event-free survival (EFS) compared to standard treatment with intravesical BCG. The purpose of this study is to test whether Gemcitabine + Docetaxel is a better or worse treatment than the usual BCG therapy approach. The primary objective of this study is to determine the event free survival (EFS) of BCG-naïve high gr... Read More
