Exploring the Relationship Between Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Training Load, and Endurance Performance
NCT06964100
Recruiting
The ability of smart phones, aided by wearable devices (e.g. smart watches), to collect a variety of data, including physical activity, heart rate, and other exercise metrics, may provide a unique opportunity to understand real-world variability. The primary objective of this study is to test user engagement, app functionality, and feasibility of the newly developed Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) Labs App to conduct Real-World research studies. The secondary purpose of this study is to... Read More

Proteogenomic Monitoring and Assessment of Liver Transplant Recipients
NCT01644903
Recruiting
This study is being done to test blood, urine and tissue samples to see if this can help decide if CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), AR (Acute Rejection) and HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) can be identified in its early stages. CKD damage to the kidneys, AR and HCV all lower the body's ability to function properly. Early detection of these conditions could assist with successful treatment and possibly lead to less repeat organ transplants.

Understanding and Addressing Disparities in Cancer Therapy Induced Inflammation and Associated Endothelial Dysfunction
NCT05223322
Recruiting
Very little is understood about the off-target vascular mechanisms of anti-cancer drug toxicity and the impact of exercise on these changes. Much of what has been learned about molecular pathways regulating vascular endothelial function has been established by logical expansion of knowledge obtained through experimental studies (e.g., discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide). Within the last 10 years technological advancements of -omics approaches, such as RNA-sequencing an... Read More

A Study to Learn How Safe and Tolerable Vonsetamig is in Adult Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Who Need Kidney Transplantation and Are Highly Sensitized to Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)
NCT05092347
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vonsetamig will safely decrease anti-HLA antibodies to allow for kidney transplantation. Vonsetamig is being studied for treatment of patients in need of kidney transplantation who are highly sensitized to HLA. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * Side effects that may be experienced from taking vonsetamig * How vonsetamig works in the body * How much vonsetamig is present in the blood * If vonsetamig works to...

ADI-PEG 20 in Combination With Gemcitabine and Docetaxel After Progression on Frontline Therapy in Non-small Cell and Small Cell Lung Cancers
NCT05616624
Recruiting
In this study, patients with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer will receive ADI-PEG 20, gemcitabine, and docetaxel after demonstrated progression on frontline therapy. In phase I of the study, up to 6 dose levels will be tested to find the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), after which patients enrolling to phase II will be treated at that dose level to assess efficacy. Although safety and tolerability has been previously determined in the sarcoma population, dose de-escalations of the che... Read More

The Grief Navigation Trial: A Comparison of Two Interventions to Support Parents After Their Child's Unexpected or Traumatic Death
NCT06136260
Recruiting
Parents of children who die traumatically or unexpectedly from things like suicide or an overdose suffer from mental and physical health problems and can experience massive disruptions in their family life. For about half of these parents, the first, and sometimes only, interactions they have with the healthcare system when their child dies are with a medical examiner or coroner (hereafter 'ME'). But MEs have little to no training in helping grieving families, and there are no standards guiding... Read More
