Summary

Youth participation in healthcare is becoming more prevalent, and outcomes are improved when youth have a voice in decisions. Little is known about how much adolescents participate in decision-making about vaccinations including "optional" vaccines or those not required for school attendance. This is a survey to evaluate the extent to which adolescents were involved in the decision to be vaccinated for 4 common vaccines: FLU (influenza), COVID (SARS-CoV-2 virus), MEN (meningococcemia), and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).

Summary

This study is for adult female patients that have been diagnosed with recurrent ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) enhances the immune response against cancer cells. Participants will undergo standard procedures such as blood collection for laboratory testing, physical exams, and imaging. In addition to standard of care treatment, TILs will be collected from the tumor, grown in a lab, and infused back into the body. Participants will also take three drugs (oral cyclophosphamide, bevacizumab, and pembrolizumab) following the TIL infusion. Participation in this study is expected to last approximately one year.

Progesterone Supplementation for the Prevention of Preeclampsia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Date Added
June 16th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00145923
Researcher
Brittany Austin

List of Studies

Keywords
Obstetrics and Gynecology
Summary

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of organ dysfunction, usually occurring after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It can lead to serious health problems for both the pregnant person and the baby. Although some risk factors for preeclampsia are known, effective strategies to prevent the condition remain limited.

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether vaginal progesterone can help prevent preeclampsia in pregnant individuals. Progesterone is a hormone that is naturally produced during pregnancy and is already used for certain pregnancy-related conditions.

Participants who choose to join the study will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either vaginal progesterone or no medication. Participants will use the study medication as directed during pregnancy and will continue to receive their routine prenatal care.

Researchers will collect information from prenatal visits, medical records, and delivery outcomes to determine whether progesterone reduces the risk of developing preeclampsia and improves pregnancy outcomes. The information gained from this study may help identify a safe and effective way to prevent preeclampsia and improve the health of pregnant individuals and their babies in future pregnancies.

Efficacy and safety of NNC0487-0111 compared to placebo on morbidity and mortality in people with heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity (HF-POLARIS).

Researcher
Daniel Silverman

List of Studies

Keywords
Diabetes, Drug Studies, Heart, Kidney, Obesity
Summary

Individuals with obesity and a history of heart failure (condition where heart does not effectively pump) with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (measure of the heart's pumping ability) will be eligible for participation. Study participants will have a 50:50 chance to be randomly assigned to either the treatment (NNC0487-0111) or control (placebo) group. NNC0487-011 and placebo will be delivered in an injectable pen device for a subcutaneous, once weekly injection. Placebo means there is no active study treatment) Study participation will last approximately three years and begin with a screening period to ensure correct patient selection. After the screening period, research clinic visits will occur every 4 weeks initially and then every 12 weeks. Some visits may be completed virtually through telehealth or by phone. Study procedures include but are not limited to: blood draws, questionnaires, self injection of study medication, medical history review, vital signs, and electrocardiogram (test that records the heart's electrical activity) The study's primary objective is to demonstrate that study drug vs. once weekly placebo, with standard of care, reduces the risk of a composite heart failure outcome consisting of cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit in patients with heart failure with a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity.

A Phase IIb Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel, Multidose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and PK of AZD0292 in Participants 12 years of age and older with Bronchiectasis and Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colonization

PRO Number

Researcher
Patrick Flume

List of Studies


Keywords
Bronchiectasis, Lung, Pulmonary
Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the drug AZD0292, including how safe it is, how long it stays in the blood, and if it may help in reducing the number of exacerbations in people with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their lungs. These patients have more frequent lung exacerbations and reduced quality of life. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacteria that can make the symptoms of bronchiectasis worse. The study drug (AZD0292) works by attaching to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, thereby reducing its effects on the lungs and improving symptoms.
This study aims not only to test AZD0292 but is also being done to better understand bronchiectasis disease and its associated health problems.
Study drug (AZD0292) or placebo, will be given to participants as an intravenous (IV) infusion. The study is double-blinded.
About 435 participants with bronchiectasis 12 years of age and older, weighing at least 35kg will take part in this study. This study will be conducted globally in approximately 25 countries.

Summary

This study is for family members and informal caregivers who support an adult with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers are testing a 10‑week, online program designed to help caregivers feel supported and better manage caregiving‑related stress. The program includes education about dementia and future planning, brief relaxation exercises, and opportunities to connect with other caregivers by sharing experiences in a supportive setting. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one or more parts of the program, which helps researchers understand which types of support are most helpful. All study activities can be completed from home. Findings from this study will be used to improve and expand support programs for families impacted by dementia.

Targeting Incentive Salience and Cognitive Flexibility Circuitry: Evaluating the Effects of Accelerated rTMS in Alcohol Use Disorder

PRO Number
Pro00150512
Researcher
Lisa McTeague

List of Studies


Keywords
Alcohol, Brain, Drug Studies, Psychiatry, Substance Use
Summary

This study systematically evaluates the efficacy of a highly promising neuromodulation strategy - continuous theta burst (cTBS) transcranial magnetic stimulation - as a tool to change alcohol use behavior (Aim 1) and neurobehavioral concomitants of that behavior (Aim 2) in non-treatment seeking individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). In addition, we can begin to test prediction of individual treatment response based on an electrocortical signature of sign tracking (exploratory aim). This study is a double-blind, active sham-controlled study in community dwelling, non-treatment seeking individuals who meet DSM 5 criteria for AUD. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: cTBS to ventromedial prefrontal cortex, cTBS to pre-supplementary motor area, or sham stimulation (10 sessions in one day). Participants will undergo comprehensive outcomes assessment, with measures including pre- and immediately post-cTBS clinical assessments (e.g., interview, Timeline Follow-back), alcohol craving tests, structural and fMRI, MRS, and EEG/ERP during salience- and cognitive flexibility-related tasks. To test alcohol craving and also use in alcohol-available settings, participants will complete a bar-lab session post-cTBS only (to avoid potential habituation to alcohol cues within the laboratory setting). Finally at 1-week post-treatment participants will complete craving and Timeline Follow-back measures remotely via REDCap.
