Spironolactone Initiation Registry Randomized Interventional Trial in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Recruiting
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is common and deadly but without therapy. Inconclusive studies such as TOPCAT (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist) suggest spironolactone may be effective in HFPEF, but it is generic and will not be studied by industry. SPIRRIT is a unique Registry-Randomized Clinical Trial (RRCT) that will test the hypothesis that spironolactone plus standard of care compared to standard of care alone reduc... Read More

The Exhale Study: Treating Maternal Depression in an Urban Pediatric Asthma Clinic
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness and implementation of delivering Enhanced Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT-B), an evidence-based maternal depression treatment, to mothers of children aged 4-11 years in an urban pediatric asthma clinic. Researchers will compare Enhanced IPT-B and supplemented usual care (brief care coordination). The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Does Enhanced IPT-B decrease maternal depressive symptoms? 2. Does Enhanced IPT-B... Read More

Optimal Pacing Rate for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Recruiting
This is a prospective, randomized crossover study. The objective of the study is to determine if a pacing rate of 80 beats per minute (bpm) improves exercise tolerance during the 6-minute walk test. The investigators will randomly assign half of the participants to a starting rate of 60 bpm and then switch them to a rate of 80 bpm for 3 months, and vice versa.

Measuring Impact of Computer Gaming on Arm Use in Rett Syndrome
Recruiting
Using a tele-research approach, we will recruit, enroll, guide and support carers and participants to engage in computer based activities (modified virtual reality) with the primary outcome of reducing stereotypies and increasing independent arm and hand use and secondary outcome of improving quality of living. Because of our virtual approach, we are able to recruit from multiple countries and all states and territories of the USA.

Inspiring New Science In Guiding Healthcare in Turner Syndrome Registry
Recruiting
INSIGHTS is a registry research study that collects key information on medical history for girls and women with Turner syndrome and the clinical care they receive. This includes genetic tests, imaging, medications, and more for hundreds of patients seen at a number of clinics across the US. In addition to learning a lot about the current state of health for individuals with TS, INSIGHTS serves as an infrastructure to conduct future studies are meaningful to patients and their families.

Improving Genetic Counseling for BRCA+ Mothers
Recruiting
Genetic counseling and testing for hereditary breast cancer may reveal that you, and possibly your blood relatives, are at increased risk for the disease across the lifespan. This includes biological children, both male and female. We do not yet know the best ways to educate mothers who have a risk gene (are BRCA+) about whether, when, and how to share genetic information with their children or manage their thoughts and feelings. The purpose of this study is to help mothers make more informed ch... Read More
