10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This proof of concept study will evaluate the ability of a new, ultrasound based technology called Bullseye Constructive Shearwave Interference (CSI) (trade name, Bullseye Elasticity Quantification) to measure lymphedema of the upper arm among breast cancer survivors. The study's hypothesis is that the CSI device can detect the presence of clinically significant lymphedema when compared with the standard arm tape measurement.
This study is designed to investigate the response of unilateral upper extremity (arm) lymphedema, during pharmacologic treatment of lymphedema with oral placebo and oral acebilustat. Participants will receive "study drug" (Acebilustat or placebo), for 9 months. For 3 of these months, the participant will receive placebo; for 6 of these months, the participant will receive active ingredient, acebilustat. The study is blinded which means that the participant will not be told which study pill they are taking.
Lymphedema is a painful and disfiguring condition related to the buildup of protein-rich fluid in the body's tissues. The goal of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a novel, proprietary device in the treatment of upper extremity lymphedema. This device has been previously studied on healthy people that do not have a diagnosis of lymphedema. It was found that using the device on them does not cause significant changes to their vital signs or level of pain. Side effects are reported sometimes; however, these are to be expected and are also frequently reported when people receive the standard of care for their lymphedema. Patients who have diagnosed lymphedema will be approached to participate in this study as part of their care. Participants will wear this device for approximately 40 minutes and then have certain measurements taken before and after doing so. These measurements include the size of their arm, how much pain/discomfort they are currently in, and if they experienced any side effects. After getting treatment with the device, they will receive the standard of care treatment for their lymphedema from their provider. After the standard of care has concluded, the previously mentioned measurements will be repeated. This data will be put together and analyzed to look for differences in arm size before and after treatment with the device as well as to look for the prevalence of side effects.
The purpose of this study to test whether a comprehensive program may help the lymph fluid to drain out of the arm and prevent lymphedema in participants with breast cancer.
This a prospective, longitudinal study designed to track edema and Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) onset in breast cancer patients taking targeted therapy treatments for early and metastatic breast cancer. A Perometer and Sozo devise will be used to measure volume changes
To evaluate the Dayspring Active Wearable Compression Device in contrast to an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD)
An open-label study to clinically assess a novel wearable advanced compression technology (Dayspring™) undertaken to determine if potential barriers to lymphedema self-care were effectively addressed. The Dayspring™ device is a novel FDA-cleared wearable solution that is portable and easy-to-use sequential compression system. The following endpoints are examined: 1. Improvement in QoL in subject with upper-extremity edema after 28 days as measured by the LYMQOL disease-specific validated assessment tool. 2. Arm volume maintenance or improvement as measured prior to and after 28 days of device use. 3. Safety as assessed by reported adverse events 4. Patient satisfaction as measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and survey at the end of the study; and 5. Adherence to therapy as measured with a smart phone app.
This pilot study will examine facilitators and barriers that impact staff uptake for implementation of practice change involving ipsilateral IV insertion in patients with axillary lymphadenectomy/dissection in a single radiology center.
The purpose of this study is to determine how well different treatments for acquired lymphedema work. The study will compare 5 different non-invasive treatments for acquired lymphedema of the arm to see which treats lymphedema best.
The goal of this clinical trial in adult patients diagnosed with upper extremity lymphedema is to test the safety and effectiveness of small, wearable sensors that may be able to measure lymphedema. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do these sensors detect lymphedema? * If so, how accurate are these wearable sensors? Participants will complete one in-person measurement session and one phone call with study staff 14 days after the measurement session to check-in on the participant's well-being.
