This study is seeking to assess two known risk factors of drowning, swimming ability and water safety knowledge, in parents of children and adolescents presenting to the pediatric emergency department using questionnaires.
By collecting this data, we hope to highlight factors that contribute to disparities in drowning rates in minority racial and ethnic groups and to aid local and federal governments in developing programs that effectively combat the number one cause of unintentional injury-associated death in children ages 1-4 years. This will also provide data that may help guide pediatricians in effective anticipatory guidance for families regarding water safety. All in the effort to minimize disparities in medicine and provide more equitable care to the patients that we see.
The goal is to see how well mirikizumab works for people with ulcerative colitis. This involves looking at its effects in their everyday lives. Understanding its real-world benefits helps determine how effective the medicine is outside of controlled clinical trials.
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.

This is a Phase III study is for patients that have been diagnosed with with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference in overall survival rate in patients changes based on when they start their drug treatment, either before or after surgical intervention. Participants in this study can expect to be followed for up to 10 years. This study has two groups and a computer will be used to assign study groups. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery and adjuvant therapy, or surgery followed by adjuvant therapy. This is called randomization. Patients will have an equal chance of being in either group, similar to flipping a coin.
Quitting smoking is hard, and many Veterans struggle even with current treatments. This study is testing a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which is already FDA-approved to help people stop smoking. We're comparing two types—standard and personalized—to see which works better. We aim to find the best option to help Veterans quit for good.
The goal of the research study is to see if NEU-411 (1) will help prevent or slow the worsening of LRRK2 driven Parkinson's Disease (PD) and, (2) is safe. This study will also determine how your body processes NEU 411 and what NEU-411 does to your body. The study doctor will discuss with you whether you are eligible to be part of this study. As part of this study, you will receive either NEU-411 or placebo (inactive substance). The study drug is in tablet form and is taken by mouth. The study will last about 67 weeks. You will come in for 19 visits. In addition to in-person visits with the study team, you will be required to complete daily tests using a smartphone and occasionally be asked to wear a smartwatch continuously for 1-week periods. These technologies will be provided to you for use during the duration of the study and you will be trained on how to perform these activities. The NEU-411 is investigational and has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as well as the investigational Companion Diagnostic (CDx).
This study is looking for participants who have had a stroke for the first time and have also had weakness (known as "paresis") in their arms or legs. People who have weakness in their arms or legs after their stroke are at risk of developing spasticity. Spasticity is a condition where muscles stiffen or tighten involuntarily, preventing normal movement, and sometimes causing discomfort or pain.
This study is looking at the proportion of first-ever stroke participants with paresis who develop spasticity up to 12 months after their stroke. We would like to do this by contacting you regularly to see whether you have developed spasticity. The study period for each individual participant will vary depending on whether and when spasticity or problematic spasticity develops.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer who are taking bevacizumab. This study is testing two investigational drugs called nelfinavir and hydroxychloroquine. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. The primary purpose of this study is to see if these two medications in combination with bevacizumab are safe and effective in ovarian cancer. These drugs will be given by mouth. Participants in this study can expect to be in this study for 6 months for data collection, but may continue on the study medications longer if seeing benefit.
