Summary

The goal of this study is to help compare scans from the new photon counting CT scanner of a solid lung tumor with traditional lab and biopsy results. Subjects enrolled in this study will receive their normal CT scan on the new photon counting CT scanner that has the capacity to provide pictures that are better quality. These images will provide useful information that may lead to future improvements for patients with similar conditions.

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer). The treatment drugs being utilized are sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda). The main purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab can improve outcomes and delay the return of disease in subjects with high-risk early TNBC. Subjects can expect to be in this study for up to 18 months.

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using a combination of two different medications (extended release naltrexone and bupropion) compared to matching placebo (an inactive substance) in the treatment of methamphetamine use disorder. Participants will undergo screening, and if eligible, will receive study medications along with brief medication management for twelve weeks, with follow up visits at weeks 14 and 16. The total study duration is around 19 weeks.

Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with early-stage (Stage I or II) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)(cHL). The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab (Bv-NIVO) against standard therapy for people with HL to find out which is better. Participants can expect to be in the study for up to 54 months.

Researcher

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Head & Neck
Summary

In this study, the participants will take pembrolizumab for 24 months or get pembrolizumab plus a course of radiation therapy for 24 months until the cancer progresses. After the study treatment is finished, the study doctor will continue to follow the participants condition for a total of 3 years. Some risks in this study is that pembrolizumab with radiation may not be as good as the usual approach for cancer shirking or stabilizing. Some risks associated with pembrolizumab and radiation which are reduction in blood counts, mouth or throat pain and difficulty swallowing. The potential benefit of this study is that radiation and chemotherapy/pembrolizumab can be effective at shrinking or stabilizing the cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare using pembrolizumab with radiation to pembrolizumab without radiation.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadicitinib in adults and adolescents with severe alopecia areata. Participation in this research study will take approximately 168 weeks with 17 visits in that time. This research study includes three phases; a screening phase, treatment phase, and a follow-up phase. The length of the screening period varies from 1 to 35 days, depending on therapies that must be washed out or discontinued before initiation of treatment. Patients who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive upadicitinib or placebo for the first 24 weeks. At week 24, all patients will receive upadicitinib until week 160. The post-treatment follow-up visit will occur approximately 30 days after the last study drug dose.

Determinants of performance in cochlear implant listeners

PRO Number

Researcher
Kelly Harris

List of Studies


Keywords
Hearing
Summary

This project examines how to improve speech understanding with cochlear implants (CIs), particularly for older CI recipients. While older individuals benefit from CI technology, performance is poorer than that of younger implanted adults for difficult listening tasks. The mechanisms that contribute to this variability are not well-understood. The current project examines how differences in brain structure and function may contribute to success with a cochlear implant. To compare, we will also be examining how older patients without cochlear implants understand speech in difficult listening situations.

Comparison of Theta Burst versus 10 Hz Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Craving in Smokers

Summary

Smoking is one of the main public health problems. Smoking cessation is difficult because of nicotine dependence. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the frontal head has shown to be effective in the reduction of cigarette consumption and craving. In this study, we will evaluate the efficiency of a new form of rTMS called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) for smoking cessation.

Summary

This multi-center, prospective, randomized, clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap, for supporting surgically-created AVFs and using them for dialysis.

This study will involve approximately 200 participants. Half of the subjects in this trial will receive AVFs supported by the SelfWrap, while the other half will receive a traditional AVF alone. Participants will be followed for a duration of 36 months.
