Metformin for the Treatment of Insulin Resistance in Women With Stage I-III Breast Cancer Completing Chemotherapy
Recruiting
This phase III trial evaluates how often women develop insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes and compares metformin with usual care to usual care alone in treating insulin resistance in women with stage I-III breast cancer after chemotherapy. Insulin resistance occurs when cells stop responding to insulin and is a risk factor for developing diabetes and heart disease. Higher levels of insulin have been shown to be associated with aggressive breast cancer. Metformin hydrochloride decreases the a... Read More

Examination of Nociscan Impact on Discogenic Low Back Pain Surgical Outcomes
Recruiting
This study is looking into how safe and useful NOCISCAN is. NOCISCAN is a software as a Service (SaaS) tool that uses Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Nociscan (instead of 'It') leverages MRS to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. The randomized controlled trial will compare the blinded and unblinded cohorts and their corresponding surgical outcomes with the Nocigram reports, generated prior to treatment, for each patient."

Safety and Efficacy of a Drug Eluting Slim Modiolar Electrode Array
Recruiting
This clinical study will test a new type of cochlear implant known as CI632D. This experimental cochlear implant has been designed to slowly release a drug called dexamethasone. Dexamethasone works to ease inflammation and reduce tissue injury, which is common after any type of surgery. The goal is to learn if the dexamethasone in the CI632D implant lessens these reactions inside the ear following surgery and if this makes the implant work as well, or even better, in improving hearing than what...

A Study of Efficacy and Safety of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (MK-2870) Plus Enfortumab Vedotin (EV) With and Without Pembrolizumab in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma (MK-3475-04C/KEYMAKER-U04)
Recruiting
This study is a substudy being conducted under one pembrolizumab umbrella master study KEYMAKER-U04. The substudy will consist of 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan plus enfortumab vedotin (EV). Part 2 will be based on Part 1 results and will evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan plus EV in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced urothelial carcinoma.

Social Facilitation of Emotion Regulation in Adolescence
Recruiting
The goal of this project is to test whether regulating emotions with help from a friend is more effective and long-lasting in adolescents than regulating alone, and to characterize age-related differences in the neural mechanisms supporting social versus cognitive emotion regulation. Participants will complete a psychology experiment while undergoing fMRI scanning.

A First-In Human (FIH) Trial to Find Out if REGN10597 is Safe and How Well it Works for Adult Participants With Advanced Solid Organ Malignancies
Recruiting
This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN10597 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on patients with certain solid tumors that are in an advanced stage. The aim of the study is to see how safe, tolerable, and effective the study drug is. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the stu...

Impact of Sodium Bicarbonate on 24-hour Urine Parameters in Hypocitriuric and Uric Acid Stone Formers
Recruiting
The incidence of kidney stone disease continues to rise globally. Although the treatment of kidney stone disease has dramatically improved in recent years, surgical management remains invasive and expensive. Patients who develop kidney stones are at high risk of recurrence during their lifetime; therefore, prevention of stones should be a primary focus. Low levels of citrate and acidic urine are risk factors for the formation of kidney stones such as calcium oxalate and uric acid, respectively.... Read More

Accelerated Flap Coverage in Severe Lower Extremity Trauma
Recruiting
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if accelerated flap coverage compared to standard flap coverage timing leads to improved infection-related complications in patients with open fractures and/or dislocations below the knee. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either a flap within a goal of 72 hours of injury or standard of care flap timing for the institution. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome to evaluate clinical status 6 months after randomiz... Read More
