This is a research study among women living with HIV about their choices in how they feed their infants and the different factors that contribute to those decisions, as well as how those decisions change after giving birth and as their baby grows. This study includes surveys at 2 different time points- once while still pregnant, once approximately 4-6 weeks postpartum. We hope to gain understanding on womens choices about breastfeeding while living with HIV.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effect of a brain stimulation training to improve the function of brain-spinal cord- muscle connections.Because brain-to-muscle pathways are very important in our movement control, restoring function of these pathways may improve movement problems after injuries. Spinal cord injury causes damage to the brain-to-muscle connection. However, when the injury is "incomplete", there is a possibility that some of the brain-to-muscle pathways are still connected and may be trained to improve movement function. For examining brain-to-muscle pathways, we use a transcranial magnetic stimulator. We hope that the results of this research study will help us develop new treatments for people who have movement disabilities. This study will require about 42 visits over the first 14 weeks, and another 6 visits over an additional 3 months. Each visit will take about 1 ½ hours.
The purpose of this study is to see how well the combination of home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and prolonged exposure (PE) works in treating people with chronic pain (e.g., pain related to fibromyalgia, lower back pain, arthritis) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Participants must be a Veteran or Active-Duty service member with a diagnosis of PTSD and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants will receive 10 sessions of PE over 2 weeks (called Massed PE) and 10 sessions of tDCS.
This registry is enrolling subjects who are indicated for renal denervation to treat high blood pressure that has remained high despite treatment. Renal denervation is a procedure where a catheter (a thin, flexible plastic tube with four electrodes near the end) is placed inside the blood vessels that go to the kidneys. Heat is delivered through the electrodes to disable the nerve activity and lower the blood pressure.
Participation in this registry will last about 1-3 years and include 3-6 visits depending on how often your doctor typically conducts follow up visits. Data will be collected including medical history, medications, blood pressure readings, labs, from the procedure and from any complications if applicable. There is a risk of loss of confidentiality and there may be risks that are not known. There may be no direct benefit but the information learned may help others in the future.
The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a drug called ribociclib to the usual hormone therapy drugs can lower the chance of your breast cancer coming back again. This study is for patients with locoregional, recrrent, resected hormonone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer. Endocrine therapy has already been approved by the FDA for your type of cancer. Ribociclib has already been approved by the FDA for your type of cancer that has not been removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
Receiving ribociclib with endocrine therapy is still being studied and to yet approved by the FDA. Ribociclib is taken as a pill and endocrine therapy is taken as an injection. Participants will receive ribociclib with endocrine therapy for up to 3 years and can receive endocrine therapy alone for an additional two years after stopping ribociclib. Participants can remain on the study for up to 5 years.
This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This study will compare metastasis-free survival, determined using conventional imaging, between men with high-risk prostate cancer randomized to ultrahypofractionation (stereotactic body radiation therapy [SBRT]) to those randomized to moderate hypofractionation and conventional fractionation. Participants can expect to remain in the study for 11 years and 10 months.
This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Subjects can expect to remain in the study for up to 39 months or longer. There will be a total of 16 enrolled locally. The study is set to enroll subjects for 39 months.
The study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7544. The study is focused on adult patients (18 to 85 years old) hospitalized due to a serious infection (called "sepsis" in this form) and receiving standard-of-care medications for low blood pressure (called "vasopressors" in this form) due to sepsis. The aim of the study is to see if REGN7544 is safe, tolerable and effective when compared to placebo, by observing the effects on blood pressure and the total amount of vasopressor dose received. The general procedures include collection of information from medical records, some additional testing, such as electrocardiogram, collection of blood, and having blood pressure and heart rate measured .There will also be a screening visit, two telephone visits, and one additional in-person visit. It is expected that taking part in this research will last about 13 weeks (3 months).
This study is looking at people who have recently had a heart transplant to see if a simple blood test can help doctors better understand how the immune system is doing. By checking tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood, researchers hope to find a way to tell if a patient might have problems like infection or rejection of their new heart. The goal is to help adjust medications so patients stay healthier after their transplant. The study involves taking blood samples during regular doctor visits over three years, but it doesn't change any of the usual care the patients would already get.
This study will compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inhaled study drug LTI-03 to placebo in participants diagnosed with IPF within 5 years of Screening who may be receiving standard of care (SoC) antifibrotic therapy. Taking part in this research is expected to last up to 32 weeks, which includes a 4-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period, and 4-week post-treatment follow-up period. The general procedures include review of eligibility; review of medical and medication history and changes in health; completing questionnaires; undergoing physical exams and having vital signs measured; collecting blood samples; examinations such as ECG, spirometry, HRCT, and DLCO and using an inhaler to take the study drug.
