Low-Dose Interleukin-2 and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Recruiting
This early phase 1 trial will investigate the combination of low-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) and pembrolizumab in patients with previously untreated stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Preclinical data demonstrate reinvigoration of exhausted T cells into an effector-like phenotype with improved anti-tumor activity in response to this combination. This study will evaluate T cell function as well as clinical outcomes associated with this combination therapy.

Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Stress Among Black Gender Minority Women
Recruiting
The research objectives of this study are to first, develop a culturally informed community-based intervention with guidance from community members (via focus groups and theater testing) to reduce the effect of chronic stigma exposure on psychological distress symptoms (PTS and depressive symptoms) among transgender women. Second, the research team will conduct a proof-of-concept trial to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the resulting intervention.

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) Treated With Abobotulinumtoxin A
Recruiting
Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) is a painful condition affecting runners and it is caused by a reversible increase in pressure within a closed compartment in the leg. Currently, to diagnose CECS, a large needle is placed into the muscle to measure pressure, which is invasive and painful. After diagnosis, the gold standard of treatment is surgery, which is also invasive, involves a prolonged return to play, and has a significant number of treatment failures. A growing literature ha...

A Study to Learn About Variant-Adapted COVID-19 RNA Vaccine Candidate(s) in Healthy Children
Recruiting
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, extent of the side effects, and immune responses of the study vaccine (called variant-adapted BNT162b2 RNA-based vaccine) in healthy children. The trial is divided into 5 individual studies or substudies based on age group and prior history of COVID-19 vaccinations. All participants in each of the 5 sub-studies will receive study vaccine as a shot depending on what group they are in. Substudy A design: Phase 1 includes participant... Read More

PVI to Prevent S. Aureus SSI After Fixation of HELEF (POTENT Study)
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to see whether applying povidone iodine (PVI) to the noses of patients undergoing lower extremity (leg, ankle, or foot) orthopedic fixation procedures of high-energy lower extremity fractures (HELEF) will decrease the patients' risk of surgical site infections (SSI), particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Caregiving While Black
Recruiting
The goal of this project is to revise and test an online education program designed to enhance the mastery of Black American caregivers to provide care to family members or friends living with a dementia illness. This study has two phases, and participants will take part in Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 of this study. Participants will take part in one and/or both phases in this study if they are a caregiver to a person living with dementia. Caregivers must self-identify as Black American and as the u... Read More

Further MT for AntIbiotic-Resistant Bacterial Colonization in Inpatients
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to better understand the effectiveness and safety of microbiome therapies (MT) as a treatment for patients with Multidrug Resistant Organism (MDRO) colonization after an infection. Limited data from prior studies suggest that MT may be an effective treatment to reduce intestinal MDRO colonization Although shedding of MDROs from patients to their surrounding environment is a recognized pathway of transmission, the potential effect of MT on the transmission of MDRO to...

Pediatric GVHD Low Risk Steroid Taper Trial
Recruiting
The standard treatment for acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is to suppress the activity of the donor immune cells using steroid medications such as prednisone. Although most GVHD, especially in children, responds well to treatment, sometimes (around 1/3 of the time) there is either no response to steroids or the response does not last. In those cases, the GVHD can become dangerous and even life-threatening. Unfortunately, doctors cannot predict who will have a good response to treatment based... Read More
