All Clinical Trials

The WeDecide study is a large observational study comparing the long-term effects of matched related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MRD HCT) and non-transplant disease-modifying therapies (NT-DMT) for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study aims to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), cognitive function, risks, and benefits of both treatments, including survival rates, chronic complications, and organ damage prevention. With 160 children in the MRD HCT group and 320 in the NT-DMT group, aged 3-20.9 years, the study will follow participants for three years, examining factors like disease severity, treatment history, and social determinants of health. By providing a comprehensive comparison, the study seeks to inform clinical decisions and improve understanding of SCD treatment outcomes, ultimately supporting families and healthcare providers in choosing the best treatment options.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug levels, efficacy, and safety of Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) in pediatric participants with juvenile psoriatic arthritis. Read Less

In a crossover design, 8 participants will receive caloric drinks containing stable isotopes. In one arm of the study, participants will consume 6 hourly drinks containing two stable isotopes. Repeated blood, breath, urine, and muscle biopsies will be taken. In the second arm, participants will consume 1 drink containing 75g glucose, labeled with two stable isotopes of glucose. Periodic blood and breath will be taken over three hours. Read Less

The objective of this study is to build a prospective cohort in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with common EGFR mutations. In NPM-002, there will be standardized data collection at baseline, on-treatment and at discontinuation of therapy. Patients who enroll prior to initiation of osimertinib treatment (\~30%) will undergo imaging with standardized intervals. Read Less

This study is being done to test the feasibility and accuracy of using an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy technique as a potential tool for staging urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the medication ketorolac can help manage pain after hip arthroscopy as well or better than the standard opioid-based pain medications. This study focuses on adult patients (over 18 years old) undergoing hip arthroscopy at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan. Both men and women are included, and all participants must be able to consent and communicate in English. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ketorolac help control pain as effectively or better than opioids after hip arthroscopy? Will ketorolac use reduce the amount of opioid medication needed after surgery? Researchers will compare the group receiving ketorolac to the group receiving standard opioid pain medications to see if ketorolac reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: The control group, which receives the current standard pain management protocol (hydrocodone-acetaminophen and diazepam) The experimental group, which receives the same protocol plus ketorolac and a stomach-protecting medication (omeprazole) Receive their assigned pain medications after hip arthroscopy Be asked to: Take the prescribed medications after discharge Complete a pain journal for 5 days following surgery, documenting pain levels and any side effects Complete follow-up surveys and assessments at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months after surgery The main measurement researchers will use is the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain on post-operative day 4. Additional measures include how many narcotic pills are used and results from PROMIS physical function and pain interference scores. The hope is that ketorolac will provide equal or better pain control without the risks of addiction and side effects associated with opioid medications. If successful, this approach could offer a safer alternative for managing pain after hip arthroscopy. Participants may personally benefit by having effective pain relief with fewer risks, and future patients could benefit from improved pain management options. Read Less

Clinical decision support tools powered by artificial intelligence are being rapidly integrated into medical practice. Two leading systems currently available to clinicians are OpenEvidence, which uses retrieval-augmented generation to access medical literature, and GPT-4, a large language model. While both tools show promise, their relative effectiveness in supporting clinical decision-making has not been directly compared. This study aims to evaluate how these tools influence diagnostic reasoning and management decisions among internal medicine physicians. Read Less

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the plasma PK of zanzalintinib following a single dose in participants with moderate liver dysfunction compared to matched healthy participants with normal liver function. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ABX-002 added to participants' existing treatment(s) shows effects on brain chemistry that may correlate with antidepressive effects. This is a single treatment arm, open-label, Phase 2 study of ABX-002 in 30 adults with bipolar depression. Five healthy volunteer participants will also be enrolled and receive no drug treatment, undergoing 2 imaging sessions to confirm instrument and test - retest method reliability control. For bipolar disorder participants who are experiencing an episode of depression, the study will include 3 study periods: 1. Screening Period of up to 4 weeks 2. 6-week Treatment Period 3. 2-week post dose Safety Follow-up Period. For healthy volunteers, the study will include 2 study periods: 1. Screening Period of up to 3 weeks 2. Imaging Period of up to 3 weeks. Read Less

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, randomized study comprising parallel groups of participants receiving weekly and/or monthly doses of atacicept Read Less

This research study is being done to compare different methods of addressing sleep problems before total knee replacement surgery. These methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and light exposure. Read Less

For patients requiring mechanical ventilation, spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are conducted to determine if it is safe to remove the breathing tube. There are multiple methods for conducting SBTs. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 2 methods, pressure support ventilation (PSV) versus automatic tube compensation (ATC), on successful extubation for critically ill adult patients who received mechanical ventilation for over 24 hours.
