The Impact of Toxic Exposures on Vascular Autoantibodies in Lupus Associated Cardiovascular Disease

Date Added
April 10th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00147299
Researcher
Helen Butler

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Lupus
Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how exposure to harmful substances during military service may affect the health of Veterans with or without lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.

We believe that Veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service may develop more harmful antibodies that attack the lining of their blood vessels. These antibodies may contribute to poorer blood vessel and heart health, and could contribute to the development of lupus.

This study aims to improve our understanding of how toxic military exposures may increase the risk of blood vessel complications in Veterans with and without lupus. Ultimately, this research may help identify new ways to better prevent, monitor, or treat cardiovascular disease in this population.

Research procedures for this study will include:

1. The study team will check subject medical records to gather information about medical history and medications being taking. The study team may continue to follow updates in the medical record.
2. Subjects will be given a survey to assess military and occupational toxic inhalant exposures.
3. Subjects will have a brief physical examination during which vitals will be recorded (height, weight, heart rate, respiration, temperature). Women of childbearing ages will be asked for the date of their last menstrual cycle within the past 2 months.
4. Subjects will have blood pressure taken three times three minutes apart.
5. Subjects will then provide a urine sample. Urine collection will occur in a private restroom using a sterile container provided by the study team. For women of childbearing ages, a pregnancy dipstick test will be undertaken on urine to confirm subjects are not pregnant.
6. Subjects will undergo a blood draw where approximately 4 teaspoons of blood will be drawn.

Longitudinal assessment of age-related swallowing changes and potential biological correlates

Date Added
April 7th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00149182
Researcher
Janina Wilmskoetter

List of Studies


Keywords
Aging, Disease Prevention, Healthy Volunteer Studies
Summary

This study will examine the factors that contribute to changes in swallowing as people age. Over the next ten years, researchers will follow healthy adults (age 18 and older) to see if swallowing becomes more difficult with age. They will also look at whether changes in the brain, thinking skills, and body chemistry are connected to swallowing problems. The information from this study may help doctors find ways to address problems such as choking or aspiration pneumonia in older adults.

Participants can change their mind and stop participating at any time, for any reason. Leaving the study will not affect any benefits or care they are entitled to.

If you would like to learn more, please contact the study team.

Identifying Biobehavioral Predictors and Targeting Mechanisms of Intervention in Adolescent Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Date Added
April 7th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00149051
Researcher
Rachel Siciliano

List of Studies

Keywords
Adolescents, Mental Health, Stress Disorders
Summary

This study looks at how teens with trauma-related symptoms respond to stress and strong emotions. We will measure brain activity, body responses, and behavior during activities that involve reacting to possible threats, managing emotions, and imagining parts of their own stressful or traumatic experiences more than once.

The goal of this research is to better understand how repeating these imagining activities affects teens. We also want to learn whether a teen's reaction to stress and their ability to manage emotions are connected to how they respond to imagining stressful events.

What we learn may help improve treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and help identify which teens are most likely to benefit from these treatments, based on brain, body, and behavior responses.

Accelerating Translation to Practice: Multi-Level Interventions for Efficient Care Coordination Across Medical Specialties

PRO Number

Researcher
Michelle Mollica

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer/Breast, Cancer/Gastrointestinal, Cancer/Lung, Cancer/Other, Non-interventional
Summary

This research study aims to improve care coordination in the context of cancer survivorship care by understanding how primary care providers and cancer specialists share responsibilities. Researchers want to understand how technology can help these teams communicate more clearly and effectively to coordinate care for survivors. The study team will use surveys and conduct interviews and focus groups for interested and eligible participants as methods of data collection to inform the research. Oncologists, primary care physicians, and survivors of breast, prostate, lung, colon and rectal cancer that meet the eligibility criteria will complete surveys and engage in interviews to understand barriers and identify strategies to improve care. Using this information, the team will create an intervention plan called ACT that addresses common barriers, using focus group discussions to refine the intervention. The ultimate goal is to help patients receive better and more coordinated follow‑up care.

Summary

This observational, multi-country cohort study examines the long-term safety of Filsuvez in real-world clinical practice. Researchers will collect both primary data and use existing patient registry data to gather information on Filsuvez exposure, skin malignancies, medical history, and other clinical characteristics. The study will include patients with confirmed diagnoses of DEB and JEB, regardless of whether they use Filsuvez, as long as they meet the approved indication. Patients previously exposed to Filsuvez through clinical trials, early access programs, or compassionate use programs may also participate. The study does not require any protocol-mandated visits or procedures, and the frequency of patient visits will follow local standard practice and individual patient needs.
