Protocol S2414, A Randomized Phase III Trial Incorporating Pathologic Complete Response in Participants with Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer to Optimize Immunotherapy in the Adjuvant Setting (INSIGHT) (NCT06498635)

Summary

This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

Gut-based Predictors of Response to Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

List of Studies


Keywords
Parkinsons
Summary

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment that can help improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the effectiveness of this treatment varies among patients, and physicians currently have no way to predict who will benefit the most. This study will investigate whether the types of bacteria in a person's gut can help predict their response to DBS. By analyzing patient samples, we aim to identify biomarkers that could help doctors better select candidates for this procedure, ultimately leading to more successful treatment outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Summary

This study is a non-interventional, multicenter investigation of patient outcomes, combining a retrospective medical chart review with prospective patient questionnaires. It focuses on patients receiving ritlecitinib, baricitinib, or standard of care (SOC) treatment for alopecia areata (AA). Prospective data will be collected over 12 months following the start of treatment. The study aims to enroll 300 adults (aged 18 and older) and 100 adolescents/minors (aged 12-17) from 20-25 sites across the USA. Among the adult participants, 100 will receive ritlecitinib, 100 baricitinib, and 100 SOC. The adolescent/minor group will include 50 receiving ritlecitinib and 50 SOC.

A Pilot Study to Assess the Effects of Simeox 200 Airway Clearance Device in Bronchiectasis Patients with Chronic Mucus Hypersecretion

List of Studies


Keywords
Bronchiectasis, Lung
Summary

This will be a study in the home care setting to further validate the concept of Simeox 200 in a cohort of patients with bronchiectasis and overproduction of mucous as an alternative to other methods of ACT(airway clearance techniques). Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease where airways become permanently damaged, widened, and lose their ability to clear mucus, leading to a buildup of bacteria, recurrent infections, and symptoms like a daily cough, thick, discolored phlegm, shortness of breath, and fatigue. The device is a 510(k) FDA cleared device that works using by air and vibration to help clear mucous from the lungs. There are 4 visits and an at home usage period. The study will be running approximately a year or until the cohort is filled. The data from this study will be used to power a future randomized controlled pivotal clinical study comparing Simeox 200 against other ACTs such as High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO).

Accelerated High-Dose tDCS for Depression: An Open-Label Outpatient Pilot Study

Researcher
Mark George

List of Studies


Keywords
Depression, Nervous System
Summary

In this study, we are testing whether a higher dose of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can be safely used in people with depression. Participants will come to the Brain Stimulation Lab and receive mild electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on their scalp.

The study begins with a safety run-in, where the first few participants will receive stimulation at gradually increasing levels (2, 4, and 6 milliamps) while being closely monitored. If no serious side effects are found, later participants will receive repeated 6 milliamp sessions for 5 days total. We will check skin comfort, mood, and overall tolerability after each session.

Summary

This is a prospective single-arm post-market multicenter study to evaluate
clinical outcomes of Cohealyx when used to manage full thickness wounds
post-surgical excision. Patients with a full thickness wound where autografting is clinically indicated will be considered for participation in this study. Patients will
undergo a staged surgical procedure for wound closure. In the first surgery, Cohealyx will be applied to the surgically excised wound bed within 5-days post-injury. Once Cohealyx has successfully integrated into the wound bed, the wound will be prepped and autografted per standard of care.

Fueling Strong Hearts for a Strong South Carolina

Summary

After leaving the hospital and finishing therapies, stroke survivors often do not have the supports they need to fully recover. Many live with problems for a long time after their stroke, such as trouble walking or doing everyday tasks like cleaning, grocery shopping, or cooking. Research suggests that healthy habits, like moving more, eating well, and being at a healthy weight, can improve most of these disabilities. These habits can be hard to form alone though, especially in rural areas that may not have many healthy foods or places to exercise. The goal of this research project is to test StrongPeople StrongHearts, a health program, to see if it helps stroke survivors in South Carolina make better choices for their health and improve their quality of life. The program will be delivered online so that survivors in rural areas can be in the program. One group will also receive a weekly grocery box tailored to their needs to improve access to healthy foods. This study could help increase access to research-based programs for stroke survivors who do not have the supports they did soon after their stroke.
