CLN-617-001 is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation, dose optimization and dose expansion study of CLN-617 alone and in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors Read Less

Through a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the aim is to test the clinical impact and feasibility of a virtual reality (VR) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program versus sham VR among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is hypothesized that using VR-administered CBT may reduce abdominal pain, leading to improved overall physical, psychological, and social functioning when compared to sham VR. Read Less

This clinical trial is testing whether plain language summaries made by artificial intelligence help people understand their eye doctor's notes better. Adults receiving eye care at the Jules Stein Eye Institute will get either the usual medical notes or a note with the addition of an AI-generated summary that explains the information in simple, everyday words. Participants will then answer a short survey and receive a follow-up call to share how clear the information was, how well they understood their diagnosis and treatment, and whether they feel more confident about their care. The goal is to find out if these plain language summaries can make it easier for people to understand their eye care and improve communication between patients and health care providers. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.

A prospective outcomes study in patients with and esophageal cancer (EAC) and Barrett's esophagus (BE) associated neoplasia being evaluated for endoscopic eradication therapy (EET). Read Less

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet LAA occluder compared to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for ischemic stroke and who are recommended for long-term NOAC therapy. The clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, multicenter active control worldwide trial. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device ("Device Group") and a commercially available NOAC medication ("Control Group"). The choice of NOAC in the Control Group will be left to study physician discretion. Read Less

This is a dose-escalation and dose-expansion Phase 1/2a trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DB-1305/BNT325 in subjects with advanced solid tumors. Read Less

This study will adapt Safe Alternatives For Teens and Youth - Acute (SAFETY-A) for implementation in low-resourced school districts to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in mental health service use (MHS) following identification of suicide risk in youth. SAFETY-A will be adapted to fit the organizational context of school districts and to reduce mistrust of MHS, internalized stigma, and concealment of youth emotional distress that arise in school suicide risk assessments with Asian American and Latinx students. Following a prototyping case series, a feasibility trial will assign four districts to the timing of SAFETY-A implementation to generate preliminary data on feasibility and impacts on proposed mechanisms and youth MHS utilization and clinical outcomes across racial/ethnic groups.

In advanced metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) progressing after chemotherapy and androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 is an effective treatment. 177Lu-PSMA-617 RLT is administered with a fixed schedule: 6 treatment cycles, administered every 6 weeks. However, the optimum number of cycles of 177Lu-PSMA in patients who show good response remains unknown. Some patients may benefit from more than 6 cycles of therapy. Additionally, some patients experience a complete or almost complete response before the last cycle. It is unclear whether these patients benefit from the subsequent remaining treatment cycle(s). A treatment holiday period would spare these patients some exposure to the therapy agent and avoid potentially unnecessary toxicity when treatment efficacy is already maximal and additional treatment effect cannot be expected. This randomized phase 2 study compares a group of patients treated with LuPSMA on a flexible and extended dosing schedule including "treatment holiday" periods (investigational arm, up to 12 cycles, as described below) to a control group treated with a fixed dosing schedule of 6 treatments cycles maximum administered every 6 weeks. The flexible dosing schedule in the investigational arm will be based on single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) response assessments obtained 24h after injection of LuPSMA therapy cycle. The response assessment during treatment holiday period will be based on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) every 12 weeks. Single-time point SPECT/CT dosimetry protocol at every cycle will be performed and will allow to determine the number of cycles that subjects may receive under the study without exceeding the kidney dose threshold.
