Keywords
Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study will enroll participants who are hospitalized with decompensated heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump blood efficiently and as a result fluid can build up. This study is testing an investigational, not yet approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) device called the Repreive DMS. The Repreive DMS is an instrument designed to automatically administer medications called diuretics to optimize fluid removal and improve your symptoms of heart failure. This study has a randomized arm in which participants will be randomly assigned to treatment with the Repreive DMS system or standard of care treatment referred to as Optimal Diuretic Therapy. You have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either arm. There is also a registry arm for participants who do not wish to participate in the randomized part of the study. The registry involves collecting data from your standard treatment. The randomized study will last about 13 weeks and involved up to 9 visits. The Repreive DMS involves infusing medication through an IV (intravenous or in the vein) and collecting urine via a foley catheter, which is placed in your bladder. Some of the other procedures involved in this study include physical exams, blood work, urine studies, hearing test, and medication administration.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. The purpose of this study is to find subjects with advanced cancer that had an exceptional disease response (improvement) while being treated with standard immunotherapy agents. This study will monitor their progression through a series of blood draws. Subjects will either continue immunotherapy or have completed immunotherapy. Participation in the study will take about 6 visits over a period of about 2 years. During this time the study team will follow your care by clinic visit, phone contact and/or medical record review every three months to collect information on the status of your cancer. This is not a treatment study.

Summary

This study is for men with prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. This study is being done to see if PET/CT scans help provide more tailored treatment recommendations and outcomes for men who have prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP) and will adding focal, metastasis directed radiation treatment (e.g.., stereotactic radiation) and/or additional systemic therapy (e.g., apalutamide) to standard of care treatment help to delay progression of prostate cancer in men who have already had an RP and now have recurrence?

Summary

This study is for men or women who received stereotactic radiosurgery to treat cancer that spread to their brain, and now the cancer has returned in other areas of the brain. This study is being done to see if by adding radiation therapy called whole-brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus to preserver memory plus medication approved to treat dementia can extend these patients lives.

Syntactic Bootstrapping in Toddlers

Keywords

Summary

Learning new words is challenging for all toddlers, and it may be particularly challenging for toddlers who are late talkers. In this study, we ask whether late talkers use the same cues to figure out the meanings of new words as do their typically developing peers. Toddlers ages 2.0-2.5 will watch videos of people doing new actions and hear made-up words. An eye-tracking device will capture their face and their gaze patterns, and we will use this data to determine how they are making sense of the new words they are hearing. Results will provide insights into how toddlers learn new words and whether this process relates to toddlers' current language abilities.

A multi methods study to explore the feasibility of assessing the bereavement needs of parent-child dyads following sibling death.

Summary

In the United States, nearly 62,000 children and adolescents are bereaved by the death of a sibling each year. Bereaved siblings and parents are at a lifelong risk for negative physical and psychological outcomes, yet little is known about the support and resource needs in the first 6 months following death. The purpose of this study is to determine the best ways to identify bereavement needs and barriers to grief support for parents and children following sibling death and to assess how bereavement needs impact parental distress and child quality of life and grief.

This study is for children between 8 and 17 years of age who have experienced the death of a sibling in the past 24 months. Children must have a parent or primary care giver actively take part in the study with them as a parent-child dyad. Information from this study will be used to help understand how to improve the care and support of parents and siblings that have experienced a loss.

A Multi-Site Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing a Brief Tele-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention (BRIGHT) with Attention Control for the Management of Body Image-Related Distress Among Head and Neck Cancer Survivors

Date Added

Keywords
Cancer/Head & Neck
Summary

Because head and neck cancer arises in cosmetically and functionally critical areas, head and neck cancer survivors suffer high rates of body image-related distress. Body image-related distress is a source of significant morbidity, contributing to stigmatization, social isolation, and worse quality of life. Unfortunately, effective therapies exist to manage body image-related distress among head and neck cancer survivors are lacking. We have developed a novel, scalable, tele-cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for head and neck cancer survivors with body image disturbance that could provide the first effective treatment in this population, thereby minimizing psychosocial morbidity, improving quality of life, and developing new standards of clinical care.

Keywords

Summary

This study is for subjects that have metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC). Metastatic means your cancer has spread outside the area where it started and has spread to distant parts or organs of the body. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet Food and Drug Administration, FDA, approved drug) study drug called sacituzumab govitecan. Sacituzumab govitecan is given intravenously, through IV. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment with sacituzumab govitecan alone and in combination with other treatments namely cisplatin, avelumab and pembrolizumab improves tumor shrinkage. They are antibodies made in a laboratory that blocks signals that the cancer sends to quiet your immune system. By blocking that signal your immune system can see the cancer as foreign and fight it. The subject may remain in the study for 18 months. They may receive additional treatment beyond 18 months if they are tolerating and showing benefit form the treatment.
