Memphis, TN Paid Clinical Trials

Prolonged labor is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes including infection, postpartum hemorrhage and increased NICU admission. One of the most common indications for cesarean section in the US is prolonged labor. Maternal positioning through labor facilitated by birthing balls is believed to help facilitate labor. Current data is inconclusive on whether or not the use of birthing balls is advantageous in a statistically significant manner. In this prospective randomized controlled trial, participants will be randomly selected to receive either the experimental intervention (repositioning peanut ball during labor) or the control intervention (the standard therapy of traditional repositioning during labor). Primary outcome: Time of active labor to delivery with and without use of the peanut ball. Secondary outcome: Cesarean section frequency. Read Less

The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the impact of the Jump Start program to facilitate weight loss in a sample of overweight and obese men and women. The study will not only evaluate weight loss and changes in body-shape but will also assess the type of weight lost (fat vs. lean mass) and other health measures affected by obesity including lipids, glucose, insulin, resting heart rate and blood pressure, and perceived wellness. This study will contribute to the general weight loss literature by providing evidence for or against the use of a meal replacement centered one-week weight loss program to yield weight loss and other health-specific benefits. The hypothesis is that the Jump Start program will result in an average 3-5 pound weight loss, as well as improvements in bloodborne markers of health, from day 1 to day 8. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT) after failure of rituximab and rituximab plus chemotherapy or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Viz LVO in hospital systems with non-interventional and interventional (spoke and hub) stroke centers on the timing and outcomes of patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke indicated for mechanical thrombectomy. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of peri-operative administration of Aminophylline versus Saline placebo in the preservation of renal function and the attenuation of renal injury in pediatric patients undergoing open heart surgery. Read Less

This is a multicenter, open-label study conducted in two phases: Phase 1 consisting of a CGX1321 Single Agent Dose Escalation Phase in solid tumors, CGX1321 Single Agent Dose Expansion Phase in GI tumors and Roll-over Cohort of CGX1321 and pembrolizumab in subjects who have progressed on single agent CGX1321 and Phase 1b consisting of CGX1321 in combination with pembrolizumab in colorectal tumors and CGX1321 in combination with encorafenib + cetuximab in BRAFV600E mutated colorectal tumors. Both phases are to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity. Read Less

This is a multi-center, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled study testing PL9643, an opthalmic solution to determine if safe and efficacious for dry eye patients. After a 2-week run-in period, patients will be randomized equally to the PL9643 opthalmic solution or vehicle opthalmic solution administered bilaterally three times a day for 12 weeks. A Data Monitoring Committee will be engaged to review interim data. Read Less

Visual acuity is the relative ability of the eye to resolve detail that is usually expressed as the reciprocal of the minimum angular separation in minutes of two lines just resolvable as separate and that forms in the average human eye an angle of one minute. Visibly Inc. has developed a method for determining a patient's visual acuity electronically via a web-based software system that can be self-administered wherever convenient. This method provides an efficient alternative for people to have immediate access to visual acuity measurements. Read Less

This study is looking to minimize side effects, while maintaining and potentially improving the therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from Female Sexual Arousal Disorder by providing a topical preparation of Sildenafil locally to the vulvar-vaginal tissue. Read Less

We propose to investigate effects of HP and HC weight loss diets in Newly Diagnosed T2DM (NT2DM) women and men for 6 months for remission of Type 2 Diabetes. Our long term goal is to establish a weight loss diet plan for remission of NT2DM which would be adaptable for use in physicians' clinics and metabolomics predictors for assessment of remission. The overall objective of this study is to determine if remission of NT2DM can be induced by dietary manipulation using a HP diet and the pathobiology of this remission. We hypothesize that NT2DM subjects will have remission to NGT on the HP diet when they are provided the food and daily menus for compliance. The rationale is the HP diet is palatable for subjects to continue after the 6 month study and stay in remission using diet plans we provide. We will compare the effects of the HP vs HC diet on remission. Specific aims of this study are to determine the effects of the HP and HC diets on NT2DM obese subjects in a 6 month feeding study and determine: (a)remission of NT2DM to Normal Glucose Tolerance(NGT), (b)weight loss, (c)improvements in metabolic markers, Cardiovascular Risk Factors(CVR), and inflammation markers, and epigenetic DNA methylation changes and pathways involved with remission and metabolomic markers to establish predictive markers of remission of NT2DM. We propose to use a non-pharmaceutical means (HP diet) for remission of T2DM and weight loss and determine the pathobiology involved in improvement in metabolic and CVRs by interrogating the samples with emerging technologies. The proposed research is significant because if we can demonstrate the HP diet cause remission of NT2DM to NGT along with other metabolic improvements, it would be a significant improvement in health risk and medical cost to subjects.
