This study is for patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer who in addition to the EGFR gene change (mutation) that was previously found in their tumor, testing found that their tumor also now has MET gene changes. The study is checking to see if a combination of 3 targeted drugs work together to lower the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading.
Patients with end stage heart failure (HF) exhibit abnormalities in their skeletal muscle, thought to be as a result of reduced blood flow to the muscle as their HF worsens. We will identify the relative nature of these changes by obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies in HF patients as well as healthy control subjects without HF. These biopsies will be from the right upper thigh as well as from the right calf muscle. We will compare these biopsies to identify if the changes we are seeing are in fact more severe in the calf compared to the thigh muscle.
Patients with chronic pancreatitis often suffer from severe abdominal pain that reduce their quality of life. The major purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and efficacy of an infusion of the patient's own stem cells to relieve chronic pain. The stem cells will be isolated from the patient's bone marrow and grown in the clean lab to be used for treatment. After infusion into the vein, the participant will be followed for 12 months to evaluate their pain and other outcomes.
In this research study, we are examining how brain activity (electrical and blood flow) changes during tests of emotional processing and attention and memory in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. We are also using non-invasive brain stimulation to probe different parts of the brain and measuring brain activity (electrical and blood flow) alongside evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapy. This study includes healthy and clinical participants and researchers hope this will help us develop improved brain-based treatments for emotional difficulties like depression.
This research study is being conducted to gather information about patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to better understand their knowledge and preferences about self-help resources and learn how to help patients better manage their disease. Participation in this study will involve signing a research consent form, completing questionnaires, and the opportunity to participate in self-help resources. Some participants may be offered the opportunity to participate in a virtual focus group, as well. Participation in the study will last approximately 3 months.
This Phase 3 study is designed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab in participants 6 months to <18 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD. Participants who have completed Study KGBI through Week 16 without requiring the use of systemic rescue medication will be eligible to enroll into Study KGBJ. All participants will receive active lebrikizumab treatment during Study KGBJ. The planned duration of treatment for each participant is approximately 52 weeks. All participants will enter a post-treatment safety follow-up period approximately 12 weeks after the last dose of lebrikizumab. This study will include both on-site (in clinic) and remote visits (telephone calls).
This study will examine the association between race-related stress and alcohol use disorder on alcohol craving, and stress markers. Participants who identify as African American will complete a total of three visits, including a 1-month follow-up visit. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their mood, anxiety, drug use, craving, and experiences of racial discrimination. They will listen to personalized scripts about a stressful situation related to their race, a time when they drank alcohol, and a relaxing situation. Participants will also be asked to complete mobile assessments for 1 month following their last visit. These mobile assessments will include links to surveys that will be sent via text. Compensation is available.
This study is testing citicoline as a possible medication to treat alcohol use disorder. Youth (ages 16-22) will be randomly assigned to receive either citicoline (2000mg per day) and or a placebo for four weeks.
All participants will receive brief counseling from a trained clinician and will undergo a brain scan and cognitive testing at the beginning and end of the treatment.
Participants must provide informed consent and youth under 18 must have parental consent to participate. The full study will last approximately one month.
Compensation is available to those who qualify.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how cannabis use affects memory, thinking, and stress response in older adults, and how ovarian hormones affect them in older women. Participants will undergo a screening process over telehealth to confirm eligibility. There is a second telehealth visit to complete questionnaires, a cognitive testing battery, and a medical history. There is one visit in the clinic where participants will provide urine and saliva samples for drug and alcohol testing and a blood sample for a lipid testing, and complete additional cognitive tasks. They will then complete CREMA sessions (Cue Reactivity Ecologic Momentary Assessment) at home, two times a day for ten days. CREMA sessions include answering questions about marijuana use and sleep, and rating stress and craving.
