High Risk Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasm for Pancreatic Cyst
Recruiting1 award3 criteria
Basking Ridge, New Jersey
The purpose of this study is for researchers to find ways of detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma/PDAC early to avoid the invasive procedure of surgery. The study researchers think a combination of imaging and a series of blood tests may be an effective way to detect PDAC early. In this study, researchers will look at whether a combination of the following types of imaging with blood tests can detect PDAC in pancreatic cysts: The ImmunoPET scan (immune-positron emission tomography scan) with the imaging agent 89Zr-DFO-HuMab-5B1 The HP MRI scan (hyperpolarized pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging scan)

Observational Group for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Recruiting1 award4 criteria
Baltimore, Maryland
Substance abuse during pregnancy is on the rise through both prescribed and illicit use of controlled substances, which has increased neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The prevalence of opioid use during pregnancy has increased by 333% from 2013 to 2014 and continues to rise. Approximately 1 in 3 women were prescribed opioids during pregnancy from 2008 to 2012. In the US, NAS was diagnosed every 25 minutes in 2014. By 2019, it became every 15 minutes. Although there are medication-based interventions for the treatment of NAS, used in up to 80% of opioid-exposed infants, these treatments carry risks of toxicity and drug interactions. Despite the steep medical costs and the risks of treatment, current tools to assess the severity of NAS are subjective and suffer from examiner bias, resulting in poorer clinical outcomes, such as longer lengths of stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), for these babies. Studies have shown that continuous vital sign monitoring improves outcomes and decreases the length of stay in general practice. Preliminary machine learning models have been able to predict pharmacological treatment for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). This project will collect physiological and behavioral data of NAS patients to develop an AI algorithm and establish the advantages of continuous monitoring in NAS. The AI algorithm, processed by machine learning, will help predict NAS symptoms, automate scoring, and provide healthcare personnel with predictive analytics to guide suggested treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
