Knoxville, Tennessee Clinical Trials

This is a multi-center, investigator blinded, randomized study designed to assess the efficacy, duration of effect, safety and tolerability of Luma Light System for plaque psoriasis. Two selected areas to be treated will be determined by the Investigator at Baseline. Excluded areas include the palms, the soles of the feet, ...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 titrated to a target dose of 200 mg twice daily, compared to ramipril titrated to a target dose of 5 mg twice daily, in addition to conventional post-AMI treatment, in reducing the occurrence of composite endpoint ...

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil/AMG 423 when added to standard of care is well tolerated and superior to placebo in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure events in subjects with chronic HFrEF.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, double-blind, event driven study of vericiguat (MK-1242) in participants with HFrEF. The primary hypothesis is vericiguat (MK-1242) is superior to placebo in increasing the time to first occurrence of the composite of cardiovascular (CV) death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization in participants with ...

The purpose of this multi-center event-driven study in participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daprodustat.

The objective for this study is to analyze the in vivo kinematics for subjects implanted with either a Journey II PCR or BCR TKA and compare those patterns to subjects having a normal knee from our previous study and to those patterns from subjects having a Smith & Nephew Journey ...

A better understanding of knee joint kinematics is important to explain the premature polyethylene wear failures within total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) and to help design a prosthesis that most closely approximates the normal knee. Specifically, posterior stabilizing (PS) knees have been found to be associated with lower amounts of posterior ...

The goal of the research is to develop a novel strategy to promote healthy behaviors associated with obesity prevention in older adolescent populations. A community based participatory research (CBPR) approach is used with partnerships among older adolescents, university researchers and faculty, and Extension partners. The objective is to test the ...
