Summary

The study will examine the effects of a 10-week resistance training program, with or without creatine monohydrate supplementation, on changes in body composition, physical function, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, and symptom burden in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors. All participants will undergo screening that includes completion of questionnaires, exercise testing and physical function assessments before and after the treatment period as well as at a 10-week follow up evaluation. We hypothesize that group that completes resistance training with creatine monohydrate supplementation will achieve greater improvements in body composition, physical function, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, and symptom burden when compared to the group that completes resistance training alone.

Automated Speech and Language Assessment to Improve Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorders (SLANG)

PRO Number

Researcher
Federico Rodriguez-Porcel

List of Studies


Keywords
Brain, Healthy Volunteer Studies, Nervous System, Speech Disorders
Summary

Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina are studying speech and language in people with Parkinson's disease (PD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), and in healthy adult volunteers. These conditions can change how a person speaks and uses language, and the changes may differ from one condition to another. The study uses a tablet-based set of short speech and language tasks, called SLANG, together with computer software that measures features of the recorded speech, such as pitch, timing, and word choice. Participants also complete standard speech, language, and thinking tests and a brief exam by a neurologist, which researchers compare against the tablet measurements. The purpose of this study is to gather early research data: to build a database of these measurements across the groups, to check whether the tablet captures them reliably, and to explore whether they differ between conditions. SLANG is not used to diagnose participants or to guide their medical care in this study. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a tool that could someday help clinicians recognize and tell these conditions apart earlier, but testing such a tool for diagnosis is beyond the scope of the current study.

A comprehensive cognitive assessment protocol and innovative neurocognitive telerehabilitation pilot program for adults with subjective cognitive complaints

Researcher
Michelle Woodbury

List of Studies


Keywords
Aging, Memory Loss, Rehabilitation Studies
Summary

This study will include 2 groups of participants with subjective cognitive complaints (1) individuals diagnosed with Ehlos Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and older adults without EDS. Participants will complete a 6-week cognitive + occupational therapy tele-rehabilitation program (first 4 weeks: 2 sessions per week, last 2 weeks: 1 session per week), for a total of 10 treatment visits. This study integrates cognitive training with an evidence based OT-led tele-rehabilitation program. We will complete a comprehensive battery of cognitive assessments as well as participant reported outcome measures at the pre and post visits to characterize subjective cognitive difficulties and test the feasibility and initial effect of this personalized intervention.

Researcher
Theodore Gourdin

List of Studies


Keywords

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with metastatic or advanced solid tumors. The study is testing an investigational drug called JZP898. "Investigational" means it has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability profile of JZP898 monotherapy as well as JZP898 in combination with pembrolizumab. The drug is given to participants by infusion. The length of your participation in this study may vary depending on the number of treatment cycles you receive. This will depend on whether there are any changes in your health during the study and whether the study doctor feels you should continue receiving the study drug.

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of L606 (Treprostinil Liposome Inhalation Suspension) in Participants with Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (WHO Group 3)

Summary

The purpose of the Re-Spire Study is to help researchers learn more about the efficacy and long-term safety and tolerability of the research drug L606 in participants with PH-ILD.
There are two phases of the Re-Spire Study participants can potentially join with the second phase starting directly after the first phase ends. The first phase is called the "Blinded Treatment Phase" (BTP). This is the "double-blind," assigned by chance portion of the study and will last approximately 28 weeks (a 30-day Screening period followed by a 24-week study period). The second phase of the Re-Spire Study is called the "Open Label Extension Phase" (OLEP). This phase is optional. It is called "open-label" because there is no placebo and everyone who joins will take the active study drug, L606.
About 350 participants will take part in this research study from around 120 study centers or research sites in various countries or regions.

A Randomized Phase II Study Comparing Cytarabine + Daunorubicin (7 + 3) vs (Daunorubicin and Cytarabine) Liposome, Cytarabine + Daunorubicin + Venetoclax, Azacitidine + Venetoclax, and (Daunorubicin and Cytarabine) Liposome + Venetoclax in Patients Aged 59 or Younger Who are Considered High-Risk (Adverse) Acute Myeloid Leukemia As Determined by MYELOMATCH; A MYELOMATCH Clinical Trial

Summary

Patients are matched with this clinical trial based on their biomarker test results in the myeloMATCH study. This treatment trial is for adults (ages 18-59) with high-risk AML who have not started treatment yet. Doctors consider AML high risk if it has certain biomarkers that can make it harder to treat. Treatment plans for AML often involve several phases of treatment. The first phase aims to get rid of as many leukemia cells as possible. It helps make it easier for further treatment to keep the cancer under control. Usually, the first treatment patients receive for AML is a combination of 2 chemotherapy drugs, daunorubicin and cytarabine. The purpose of this study is to learn if other options for first treatment may work better for people with high-risk AML. The study doctors will test 4 new treatments and compare them to the usual chemotherapy. This is important because knowing AML is high-risk gives doctors more information about the cancer and how to treat it. People with high-risk AML may benefit from a different approach to treatment. Improving options for people in the first phase of treatment could make further phases of treatment more successful.

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).
