MRI to Predict Rejection and Failure in Transplant and Cardiomyopathy Patients
Recruiting
Overall Research Strategy of this protocol is to refine and validate noninvasive CMR imaging sequences with invasive hemodynamic and pathology results to create a comprehensive, noninvasive, radiation-reduced regimen for pediatric cardiomyopathy and cardiac transplant assessment. We were the first to perform MR-guided cardiac catheterization in US children, and have accumulated the largest US experience, having performed over 75 procedures to date. Our unique experience puts us in strong positio... Read More

Tegavivint for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including Lymphomas and Desmoid Tumors
Recruiting
This phase I/II trial evaluates the highest safe dose, side effects, and possible benefits of tegavivint in treating patients with solid tumors that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Tegavivint interferes with the binding of beta-catenin to TBL1, which may help stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell that tell a cell to grow.

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

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

Focused Radiation Versus Systemic Therapy for Kidney Cancer Patients With Limited Metastasis, SOAR Study
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of stero-ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) followed by standard of care systemic therapy, to standard of care systemic therapy alone, in patients with kidney cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to a limited (2-5) number of places in the body (metastatic). Study doctors want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for metastatic kidney cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get... Read More

Study of ORIC-114 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Harboring an EGFR or HER2 Alteration
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and/or maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and antitumor activity of ORIC-114 as a Single Agent or in Combination with Chemotherapy when administered to patients with advanced solid tumors harboring an EGFR or HER2 alteration.

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.
