Summary

This study aims to develop a new blood test to detect and identify many different types of cancer, using a special technique that looks at tiny changes in your DNA. Some participants will be followed over time to see if this method can also find leftover cancer cells (after treatment), and if it could warn if the cancer comes back. However, this test still under development, so there are no results reported back to participants. The goal is to create a reliable tool that one day could help doctors diagnose and monitor cancer(s) more effectively.

Auxora for the Treatment of AKI and Modulation of Injurious "Crosstalk" with the Lung: A Randomized Control Trial (KOURAGE)

Keywords
Kidney
Summary

This study is designed to help doctors understand how to safely - and at what dose – to give the study drug to patients suffering from acute kidney injury with accompanying acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF). The study is testing Auxora (study drug) against placebo (a substance that has no medical effect).

Your chance of receiving a dose is 50% (for every 1 who receives placebo, 1 receives a dose of Auxora). This selection process is called randomization (like a ‘flip of a coin') and neither you nor your study doctor will know to which group you have been assigned. Every patient in the study will receive his/her dose of Auxora or placebo once a day, for 5 days in a row.

Sex differences in the genetics of cannabinoid metabolism

Keywords
Substance Use
Summary

This study will examine genetic factors that contribute to the different ways people feel after consuming cannabis. People that use cannabis at least 4 days per week will participate in a study involving 1 in-person visit followed by a 5-day remote assessment period. The in-person visit will determine if an individual is eligible for study participation and their blood will be drawn to assess genetics. During the remote assessment period, participants will complete multiple short surveys per day describing their feelings and their recent cannabis use.

Summary

This is an international, multicenter, study that will not prescribe elafibranor. It is designed primarily to collect data and assess real-world effectiveness of treatment with elafibranor 80mg/day on adult patients with PBC, and to describe the safety of this treatment and its impact on their quality of life, over a period of 24 months.

Summary

This is a phase 2 study for patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. This study is testing an investigational combination of two drugs, reltalimab and nivolumab."Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The main purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference in overall survival rate in patients who receive a combination of retatlimab and nivolumab versus those who receive the standard of care treatment, lomustine, in patients with recurrent brain cancer. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for up to five years from the day study participation starts. Subjects with investigational project being given on day 1 of each cycle, a cycle being 28 days. Cycles will continue until disease gets worse or study doctor decides it is in the subject's best interest to stop. Study will be divided into group 1 and 2. Group 1 will receive investigational drugs and group 2 will receive the standard of care. A computer will be used to assign groups in a process called randomization. Much like a toss of a coin, subjects will have equal opportunity to randomized to either group 1 or 2.

Effect of a Camp-Based Upper Extremity Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Functional Mobility and Participation in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Researcher

List of Studies

Keywords
Cerebral Palsey
Summary

This study will evaluate whether a 5-day, 6-hours-per-day therapy camp called Camp Hand to Hands can help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy improve their walking ability, stair climbing, and involvement in daily life. During the camp, children will wear a resting hand splint covered by a soft puppet glove on their stronger arm to encourage use of the more affected arm while participating in fun, play-based activities such as obstacle courses and crafts. The study team will conduct daily assessments of each child's walking endurance and stair navigation using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and the Timed Up and Down Stairs (TuDS) test during the 5-day camp. Parents will also complete a brief questionnaire about their child's participation at home and in the community before and after the camp. The study seeks to determine whether this short CIMT program leads to improvements in mobility and daily function.

Accelerated, Left Prefrontal Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Functional Seizures; An Open-Label Exploration of Feasibility, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy

Date Added

Keywords

Summary

As growing research suggests noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have the potential to adjunct current treatments or treat Seizure-Type Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND-seiz), also known as Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), we aim to evaluate whether a form of accelerated intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (a-iTBS-rTMS), is a practical and well-tolerated treatment for people with this disorder. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate a part of the brain involved in mood and thinking, the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which has established benefits in disorders known to coincide in patients with FND-seiz, such as depression.

As an open-label, early feasibility study, enrolled participants will receive 6 to 10 treatment sessions each day over 3 to 5 days, with the goal of completing 30 total sessions. This approach was selected because similar protocols have already been shown to be safe and effective in other conditions, and the shortened treatment schedule in comparison to other protocols may make participation easier for people living with FND-seiz. The main goal of the study is to see how many participants can safely and comfortably complete at least 20 of the 30 TMS sessions.

The researchers will also evaluate changes in seizure frequency, quality of life, mood, post-traumatic stress symptoms, physical health, social functioning, and overall satisfaction with treatment. These outcomes will be measured before treatment and again four weeks afterward. The researchers also aim to explore whether people with overlapping conditions, such as depression or PTSD, respond differently to the treatment. Finally, given the overlap between epilepsy and FND-seiz, not all TMS providers are comfortable treating patients with FND-seiz when TMS is indicated for other conditions, thus the researchers aim to outline a protocol to ensure safety and increase TMS access for FND-seiz patients.

Keywords

Summary

Solrikitug is an investigational drug, a drug that is still in development and testing, that can potentially benefit individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by the pathway that causes type 2 inflammation. Solrikitug is given as an injection in the arm. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of study medication (Solrikitug 375mg), three doses (day 1, week 4 and week 8) or placebo (inactive drug). The study is double blinded so neither the treatment team nor the participant will know what drug treatment they received. Enrollment in the study is up to 32 weeks, 4 weeks for screening and 28 weeks for treatment and follow up. Assessments conducted at the study visits include, but are not limited to, medical history and medication review, physical exams, blood tests, EKGs to look at the heart, breathing tests and questionnaires.
