Keywords

Summary

This study is for participants that have been diagnosed with a high-risk neuroblastoma that cannot be treated or did not improve with existing therapies, or the cancer came back after treatment with existing therapies. This study involves investigational drugs called 64Cu-SARTATE and 67Cu-SARTATE. The investigational drugs will be given as an IV injection. The study is divided into 2 parts: The Dose Escalation Phase and the Cohort Expansion Phase. The phase that participants will enroll to will depend on when they enter the study. The age range for participants is from 12 months to 25 years. Participants can expect to be in this study for approximately 14 months. Then followed by remote or virtual visits every 6 months for up to 36 months (3 years) after the initial dose of study therapy drug 67Cu-SARTATE.

Quality of Pediatric Resuscitation in a Multi-center Collaborative: an Observational Study

Keywords

Summary

This observational, multi-center cohort study of pediatric cardiac arrest management will contribute to a clinical CPR Learning Laboratory. The objectives of this study are to characterize the quality of CPR and post-cardiac arrest care delivered to children across a broad spectrum of hospitals, to determine the association between quantitative CPR quality measures (depth, rate, compression release, flow fraction) and survival to hospital discharge, and to determine the association of survival with site-specific post-cardiac arrest care (PCAC). The study will enroll pediatric cardiac arrests requiring chest compressions for ≥1 minute identified as part of standard clinical operations. The CPR quantitative measures, defibrillator data (when available), monitor data (when available), and post-arrest care will be de-identified and submitted to a central database.

Weekly Sirolimus Therapy for the Treatment of Venous and Lymphatic Malformations

Researcher
Chelsea Shope

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

In current practice, options for venous and lymphatic malformations remain limited. Recently an oral medication, sirolimus, has been found to benefit patients when taken once or twice a day for several months. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with this medication, some of which can be severe including, neutropenia, oral ulcerations, and lab abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed sirolimus will be effective for the treatment of venous and lymphatic malformations. Additionally, the study will evaluate patient satisfaction and identify adverse effects. Participants will be on the medication for 6 months with an option to continue after this time period.

The effect of semaglutide in subjects with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Researcher

Keywords
Liver
Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out about the safety and effectiveness of an investigation drug called Semaglutide for the treatment of NASH. (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis). NASH occurs when the fat buildup in the liver leads to inflammation (hepatitis) and scarring. NASH is associated with increased risk of morbidity (medical problem or complication) and mortality (death). Currently, treatment options are few and insufficient. There is therefore an unmet medical need for effective and safe pharmacological treatment options. The study is designed to last 257 weeks (approximately 4 years and 11 months), with study visits occurring approximately every 4 weeks. Most visits will include blood work and some will include assessments such as body weight and vital signs. Most visits will include reviewing of diary entries during the course of the study. This study also includes weekly injections of semaglutide (or placebo). Semaglutide is a self-administered injection that is given under the skin. Semaglutide has built an extensive amount of data with other trials that have focused on weight management and Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is FDA-approved for diabetes treatment, but is investigational for this study. In these previous trials, semaglutide was found to be safe and well-tolerated. This study is randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled. This means that you may receive the study drug or a placebo. Neither the study subject or the study team members will know which each subject will be receiving. Study subjects will be randomized 2:1. This means that subjects will have a greater chance (66%) of receiving the drug versus the placebo.

Improving the Collaborative Health of Minority COVID-19 Survivor and Carepartner Dyads Through Interventions Targeting Social and Structural Health Inequities.

Researcher

Keywords

Summary

Underserved, racial and ethnic minority communities are experiencing higher rates of COVID-19 cases and associated mortality compared to whites due to long standing social and structural inequities that also drive disparities in chronic diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients with underlying chronic diseases who are recovering from COVID-19 depend on the support of family and friends (informal caregivers/care partners) who are being exposed to the same pandemic and racial stressors, exposure that can affect the health and quality of life of both partners. The primary goal of this study is to test the efficacy of an adapted, telehealth-enhanced intervention that targets barriers impacting family illness management behaviors of Black/African American (AA) adult COVID-19 survivors and carepartner dyads for improved quality of life and COVID/chronic illness health related outcomes.

Summary

Adults (ages 18+) who would like to reduce their cannabis use (N=224) will be enrolled in an 8-week treatment program. All participants will receive counseling (1 goals session with a therapist followed by 7 weekly computerized cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions). Detailed cannabis assessments (biological and self-report) will be conducted throughout treatment and at 1-, 2-, and 3-months post-treatment completion. Daily electronic diaries will be administered via text message to record detailed logs of cannabis use quantity and frequency. Salivary samples will be collected (and video observed) daily throughout treatment to analyze for progesterone.

Summary

This study aims to create a test that will detect changes in the genes found in the patient's blood very soon after he/she develops lung cancer. Detecting lung cancer at an early stage can significantly reduce the chance that the patient will die from lung cancer. This test is expected to perform better than any other tests that are currently available.
