A listing of Townsend, Maryland clinical trials actively recruiting patient volunteers.
Traditional clinical trials in patients with breast cancer leptomeningeal disease (LMD) are challenging as patients often have a rapidly progressive course and prognosis is poor, making meeting standard eligibility difficult. Furthermore, there is limited information about the biology of LMD. The investigators thus propose a study that is as inclusive …
This study is designed to better understand how certain features of reinforcement affect learning and motivation in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Participants will take part in a series of structured teaching sessions that involve simple tasks and reward-based feedback. By changing the timing and amount of rewards, …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tissue ultrafiltration (TUF) catheters can reduce intramuscular pressure and prevent acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in adults ages 18-60 with severe proximal tibia or tibial shaft fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will intramuscular pressure (IMP) be lower …
The investigators will be randomizing 300 college student participants with high levels of social media use into either a 1) control condition (no intervention), a 2) mindfulness meditation cognitive intervention, or 3) a social media reduction + exercise replacement intervention. Participants complete intervention activities daily for two weeks. The investigators …
The ALSTARS trial will be conducted across 20-25 sites in the US and Canada, and will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational treatment called COYA 302 for adults with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). COYA 302 is an investigational and proprietary biologic combination therapy with a dual immunomodulatory mechanism …
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide in adults with obesity and binge-eating disorder, comparing tirzepatide against placebo and lisdexamfetamine dimesylate. All participants will receive guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy.
This project will be the first to examine the efficacy of a text messaging intervention designed to recruit first-time fathers-to-be using social media across the U.S. to become involved during pregnancy through two months of postnatal age to support infant, mother, and father well-being.
Patients with heart failure (HF) exhibit greater structural brain alterations and higher dementia risks than the general population. Neural atrophy in nearly every region of medical limbic circuit has been observed in HF patients. Reduction of cerebral blood flow has been suggested as the pathophysiological pathway linking HF and structural …
Currently, there is a nationwide epidemic of opioid abuse and overdose deaths. One source of excess opioids is overprescribing in the postoperative period. This study aims to find the optimal pain medication plan during and after laparoscopic hysterectomy to eliminate long-term opioid use. Given the increasing opioid abuse and over-prescription …
Phase 1/1b, safety, feasibility, and light dose titration study followed by further study of therapeutic ablation effects. Patients with high risk of peripheral primary lung cancer, stage 1A1/1A2, for whom surgical treatment is planned, will be recruited. Surgery will be performed at 5-21 days following the VTP procedure. Study intervention: …
