Summary

This study will examine sex differences in the effects of cannabis in people that regularly use it. Men and women that use cannabis at least 4 days a week will participate in a study involving 1-3 in-person visits. The first visit will be used to determine eligibility for the study and will include a blood draw for genetic testing. Most participants will only complete the first visit. Participants that are eligible for the second part of the study will complete two additional visits. These two visits will last 7 hours each and take place at least two days apart. Visits include administration of either THC, the chemical responsible for many of the psychoactive effects of cannabis, or a placebo; completion of questionnaires; repeated blood draws; and a 1-hour brain scan.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of KP-001 compared to placebo in patients with common venous malformations (VM), common lymphatic malformations (LM), or KTS/CLOVES syndrome. This phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will take place at multiple sites across North America. Vascular malformations like VM, LM, and KTS/CLOVES syndrome are serious, rare diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The study includes a 24-week double-blind treatment period with either KP-001 or placebo, followed by an open-label phase where all patients receive KP-001 up to Week 52. Patients weighing 40 kg or more will receive 100 mg of KP-001 once daily after breakfast, while those weighing less than 40 kg will receive a reduced dose based on their body weight.

Diagnostic Assessment and Natural History of Intercostal Nerve Injury Following Rib Fracture: Comparison to Normative Abdominal Wall Sensory and Ultrasound Parameters in Healthy Adults

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00150240
Researcher
Matthew Sherrier

List of Studies

Keywords
Healthy Volunteer Studies, Nerve, Non-interventional, Stomach
Summary

This research study is being conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The purpose of this study is to better understand injury to the small nerves that run between the ribs following rib fractures, and to learn what normal sensation and muscle appearance of the abdominal wall (muscles of the stomach area) look like in healthy adults. This information will help doctors better recognize and diagnose nerve injuries in patients who have had trauma, surgery, or other conditions affecting the abdominal wall.

Researchers will use simple sensory testing of the skin of the abdomen and ultrasound imaging to measure abdominal muscle structure. The sensory testing, called two-point discrimination, measures how well participants can tell the difference between two nearby points touching the skin using a small measuring tool that lightly touches the skin of the abdomen. Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body and will be used to measure the thickness and appearance of the abdominal muscles. This study includes two groups of participants: healthy volunteers and individuals with rib fractures.

Healthy volunteers will complete a single study visit lasting about 45 minutes, during which participants will undergo sensory testing, ultrasound imaging, and a short questionnaire. Participants with rib fractures will complete research procedures during their scheduled clinical follow-up visits, which include a baseline visit and three follow-up visits over approximately 12 weeks; research activities, including ultrasound imaging, will add about 30 minutes to each visit.

Summary

This will be a retrospective chart and imaging review of the patients who have undergone this procedure since its inception. From the patient charts, we will collect demographic and surgical information. From their imaging, we will collect pre- and postoperative radiographic measures to assess whether adequate distalization has been achieved. Patients that have received this surgery and are willing to provide patient reported outcomes will be contacted and asked about post-operative pain, functionality, and satisfaction.

A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Effectiveness Study Comparing Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) and Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) in Reducing Intraocular Pressure in Open-Angle Glaucoma

Summary

This study compares two common laser treatments used to lower eye pressure in participants with glaucoma or high eye pressure. Both procedures, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT), are established standard-of-care medical treatments. Participants are randomly assigned by a computer to receive one of these two lasers to compare efficacy and safety. To maintain clinical consistency, both eyes of each participant receive the same assigned laser treatment during a single visit. There are no additional research-only appointments required beyond standard clinical care. The study team reviews medical records from the participants' standard 3, 6, and 12-month clinical follow-up visits. This research aims to help clinicians understand which treatment is more effective or efficient for future use. Participation is entirely voluntary and does not impact the quality of medical care provided at the institution.

Summary

Many people use both cigarettes and e-cigarettes (dual use) and want to quit both. However, little is known about the best way to support individuals who want to quit dual use. This study will test different doses of nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges), a medication typically used for quitting smoking, to see which dose is best for people using both cigarettes and e-cigarettes. This study will also see if quitting cigarettes and e-cigarettes can lead to changes in health that might prevent cancer.

Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive and has spread despite treatment with another androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). This study is testing an investigational drug called AAA817. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study, participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to receive AAA817 alone, AAA817 with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), or standard of care treatment. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether AAA817, given alone or in combination with an ARPI, is safe and effective compared to standard of care treatments. This drug is given to participants as a radioligand therapy infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be in the study for up to 6.1 years, including two visits before starting treatment, visits every 4 weeks during treatment, and visits every 12 weeks during long-term follow-up for up to 5 years after treatment ends.. There will be a total of 9 patients enrolled locally.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cervical cancer. This study is testing an investigational drug called pembrolizumab. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A computer will be used to assign you to one of the study groups. This process is called "randomization." Like flipping a coin, everyone has an equal chance of being placed in any group. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether induction immunotherapy (IO) and chemotherapy prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus immunotherapy (CCRT+IO) improves progression-free survival (PFS) compared to CCRT+IO alone. The study drug is given by infusion. Participants in this study can expect to be on the study for 7 years.
