This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of mosunetuzumab when given together with polatuzumab vedotin and lenalidomide in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mosunetuzumab and polatuzumab vedotin are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin, attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Lenalidomide may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing and by preventing the growth of new blood vessels that cancer cells need to grow. Giving mosunetuzumab with polatuzumab vedotin and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. Read Less

Regeneron is conducting a study of an investigational new drug called DB-OTO. DB-OTO is a gene therapy that is being developed to treat children who have hearing loss due to changes in the otoferlin gene. The purpose of this study is to: * Learn about the safety of DB-OTO * Determine how well DB-OTO is tolerated (does not cause ongoing discomfort) * Evaluate the efficacy of DB-OTO (how well DB-OTO works) Read Less

Two-hundred and eighty individuals with schizophrenia who have a recent history of violent acts will be randomized in this 2-arm, parallel-group, 24-week, open-label, 7-site clinical trial to examine the effects of treatment with clozapine vs antipsychotic treatment as usual (TAU) for reducing the risk of violent acts in real-world settings Read Less

The vast majority of blindness is avoidable. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of cases of visual impairment could be prevented or reversed with early diagnosis and treatment. The leading causes of visual impairment are cataract and refractive error, followed by glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Loss of vision from these conditions is not inevitable; however, identifying cases early and linking cases with appropriate care remain significant challenges. To address the global burden of avoidable blindness, eye care systems must determine optimal strategies for identifying people with or predisposed to visual impairment beyond opportunistic screening. Outreach programs can prevent blindness both by screening for asymptomatic disease like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and glaucoma and case detection of symptomatic disease like cataract and refractive error. Eye care systems have developed numerous approaches to these identification methods, including screening using telemedicine and case detection via cataract camps or health worker models, but no studies have been conducted on the comparative effectiveness or cost effectiveness of these various approaches. Technology promises to greatly improve access to sophisticated eye care. AMD, DR, and glaucoma can result in irreversible vision loss, and early diagnosis and effective treatment can prevent progression. Thus, mass screening programs may prevent progression and improve the vision of a population. However, mass screening for eye disease is currently not recommended. Although self-evident that early detection can prevent blindness for an individual, no randomized controlled trial has been able to demonstrate that screening improves visual acuity at the regional level. However, recent technological advances promise to dramatically change the equation by allowing non-medical personnel to use mobile, easy-to-use retinal imaging devices to diagnose screenable eye diseases such as AMD, DR, and glaucoma. Mobile technology could also transform the way clinics communicate with their patients, improving linkage to and retention in care. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an ideal test for screening. OCT can be performed through an undilated pupil and is less subject to optical aberrations due to cataract than is fundus photography. OCT machines have pre-installed algorithms to screen for glaucoma, and major anatomical abnormalities can easily be detected even by novice technicians. The infrared image allows detection of referable diabetic retinopathy, and newer OCT angiography machines offer even more discrimination of early diabetic retinopathy. OCT machines are ever more portable, and could be feasibly used in mobile screening programs. The investigators propose a large cluster-randomized trial to compare two population level blindness prevention programs: (1) a state-of-the-art screening program employing OCT, fundus photography, and intraocular pressure testing to screen for glaucoma, DR, and AMD followed by enhanced linkage-to-care to the local eye hospital, and (2) a screening program involving only visual acuity assessment. An initial door-to-door census will assess baseline visual acuity in both study arms. The investigators will compare visual acuity between the two arms through a second door-to-door census 9 years later (primary outcome). Read Less

This is a pilot trial designed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention aimed at improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), viral suppression, and engagement in HIV care. The intervention will address behavioral coping strategies, HIV care engagement behaviors, and substance use management. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a weight bearing exercise intervention can improve body composition and bone health in adolescents and adults with Thalassemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does participation in a 12-week weight bearing exercise intervention change total body lean mass and percentage body fat (as assessed by DXA) in adolescents and adults with Thalassemia? * Does participation in a 12-week weight bearing exercise intervention change muscle function (assessed by hand grip strength, sit to stand and vertical jump) and endurance (assessed by the 6 minute walk test) in adolescents and adults with Thalassemia? * Does participation in a 36 week weight bearing exercise intervention (30 min/day; 5x/week) change bone mineral density as assessed by DXA in adolescents and adults with Thalassemia? Researchers will compare participants' change in body composition, muscle mass, and muscle function during a "Usual Activity" period (12 weeks) with an exercise intervention (Period 1: 12 weeks) to see if exercise can improve body composition and muscle function. The intervention will then be extended an additional 24 weeks for a total of 36 weeks of exercise (Period 2) to explore the change in bone mineral density between between "Usual Activity" and "Exercise Intervention" (Period 2) in individuals with Thalassemia. During the intervention period, participants will engage in a self-directed exercise regime of either weight bearing aerobic exercise or strength training exercises (30 min/day; 5x/week). Read Less

Pediatric traumatic injury (PTI) is a public health priority, with more than 125,000 children experiencing injuries that require hospitalization each year. These children, and their caregivers, are affected in many ways that may affect quality of life, emotional and behavioral health, physical recovery, family roles and routines, and academic functioning; yet US trauma centers do not adequately address these outcomes and a scalable national model of care for these families is needed. This proposal builds on prior research from the investigative team to test a technology-assisted, stepped care behavioral health intervention for children (\<12 years) and their caregivers after PTI, CAARE (Caregivers' Aid to Accelerate Recovery after pediatric Emergencies), via a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation trial with 348 families randomly assigned to CAARE (n=174) vs. guideline-adherent enhanced usual care (EUC) (n=174).
