Summary

This research explores how ultrasound, a common medical imaging tool, can be used to look at the ligaments that support the base of the thumb. These ligaments are important because they help the thumb stay stable during everyday tasks like opening jars, writing, or buttoning clothes. When these ligaments become weak or damaged, it can cause pain and lead to joint problems like arthritis. Right now, it's not easy for doctors to check the condition of these ligaments without advanced scans or surgery. By using ultrasound, which is safe and non-invasive, we hope to find a quicker and easier way to examine ligament health.

Add‑On Efficacy of Home‑Based Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation via the ZIDA Control Sock in Adults with Overactive Bladder on Preexisting Stable Pharmacotherapy

Keywords
Bladder, Urinary
Summary

Many people with Overactive Bladder (OAB) continue to have symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage even while taking medication. This research study is being done to see whether using the ZIDA sock, an FDA approved wearable device, can help reduce symptoms when added to a person's usual OAB medication. The ZIDA sock provides mild electrical stimulation to a nerve near the ankle and is worn like a regular sock. Participants will use the ZIDA sock at home once a week for 30 minutes over 12 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete bladder diaries to record urinary symptoms and questionnaires about their bladder symptoms, quality of life, and satisfaction with the device. Study staff will also ask about any side effects or discomfort related to device use. The information collected will help determine whether the ZIDA sock is a helpful add-on treatment for people with OAB who still have symptoms despite medication.

NRG-GU015: The Phase III Adaptive Radiation and Chemotherapy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Trial (ARCHER)

Date Added

PRO Number

Researcher
David Marshall

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Genitourinary
Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer and are eligible to receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy while keeping their bladder. The study is testing an investigational radiation schedule called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), which delivers higher doses of radiation over fewer treatment sessions. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of two groups. One group will receive the usual chemotherapy and standard radiation therapy schedule, which involves lower radiation doses given five days a week for 4 to 5 weeks. The other group will receive the usual chemotherapy and the study radiation schedule (SBRT), which delivers higher doses of radiation in fewer treatments over a shorter period of time.

The primary purpose of this study is to find out whether the shorter radiation schedule is as effective as the usual radiation schedule at preventing bladder cancer from getting worse and avoiding bladder removal surgery.

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy will be given while the bladder remains in place. After treatment is complete, participants will be followed by the study doctor for up to 5 years to monitor for side effects and whether the cancer returns or progresses.

All participants can expect to complete questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life at several time points during and after treatment. These questionnaires are part of the research and will not be shared with treating physicians. There will be a total of 16 patients enrolled locally over 48 months.

List of Studies

Keywords
Alzheimers, Multiple Sclerosis
Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand how the oral microbiome (bacteria in the mouth) may be associated with different neurologic conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. This will require one visit, typically less than an hour. We will collect some information about the subject's past medical history including dental history as well as collect saliva and perform a nasal swab. This will also include a measure of genetics. There will be an optional blood collection. Samples will also be stored for future research.

Summary

The Car study is being done to collect real-world evidence of how commercially available MicroVention intracranial aneurysm treatment devices function and look at safety outcomes over a year when used per standard of care. The treating physician will use the device they think is most appropriate for each patient. The study will also be used to develop a full database in an effort to inform future studies and further the understanding of the safety and performance of these devices across a wide range of patient populations and disease characteristics.

List of Studies


Keywords
Lung, Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Pulmonary
Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn more about an experimental drug called ORC-13661 that may be helpful in treating hearing loss due to antibiotic use. The study is researching whether the drug is safe and tolerable, and trying to find out whether the drug may be able to mitigate or prevent hearing loss in patients being treated with intravenous (IV) amikacin. Participation in the study will consist of up to 10 visits over up to 129 days. The Day 1 visit (following the screening visit) will last up to 8 hours, while other visits will last up to 5 hours Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ORC-13661at a higher dose or a lower dose or a placebo (a pill that looks the same as the study drug but has no real medicine in it), for up to 90 days to be taken along with IV amikacin. Participants will be asked to have a number of tests and procedures, which include questionnaires about family, medical, and hearing history, physical and hearing examination, and assessments of hearing.

Summary

This is a clinical use of an FDA-approved Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) called Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS CD34. The intent is to treat patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in a clinical setting, not to conduct research or gather data on safety or effectiveness. No data will be collected beyond what is required for standard clinical care. Device-related processing will occur at an NMDP Advanced Cell Therapy Lab Solutions facility, and the resulting cell product will be transported to MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for infusion. Eligible patients are in first complete remission and undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) from an HLA-identical matched related donor. Patients will be provided MUSC's standard treatment consent per institutional policies. The HUD will be stored, dispensed, and used at NMDP in accordance with standard operating procedures.

S2409, PRISM: PRecIsion in SCLC Via a Multicohort Study: Randomized Phase II Studies Evaluating Maintenance Durvalumab with or Without Biomarker-Directed Therapy for Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)

Date Added
January 16th, 2026
PRO Number
Pro00149185
Researcher
Mariam Alexander

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung
Summary

This phase II trial tests how well biomarker tests on patients tumor tissue works in selecting personalized treatments for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). This study also tests different types of maintenance treatment for ES-SCLC with drugs durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab. Maintenance treatment is given after initial treatment and is given to help keep the cancer under control and prevent it from getting worse. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and monalizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Saruparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP may prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor cell growth. Giving biomarker selected personalized maintenance treatment with durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab may work better in treating patients with ES-SCLC.
