Chicago, IL Paid Clinical Trials

The over-arching research question is: Does message (Advise) and referral approach (Refer) influence a patient's willingness to "opt-in" to receive a call from an Illinois Tobacco Quitline (ITQL) smoking cessation coach in patients at MSHC. Primary UH3 study aim: Compare the effect of the portal-delivered Choice message (Arm 1) to the Information-only message (Arm 3) on linkage to the Illinois Tobacco Quitline (i.e., spoke to a Quitline coach). Secondary UH3 aims are to: Examine the reach of the patient portal for delivering "Advise" and "Refer" at 4 weeks. Reach is defined as a patient opening the portal-delivered provider message across all three Arms. Compare the effect of the Quit message (Quit, Arm 2) to Information-only (Arm 3) on linkage to ITQL. Compare the effect of the Facilitated-referral messages (opt-in link in the message: Arm 1 \& 2) vs. Self-referral (Information-only, Arm 3) on linkage to the ITQL (speaking to an ITQL coach) at four weeks. Compare the effect of the portal-message content of the Choice message (Arm 1) vs. the Quit message (Arm 2) on linkage acceptance (opting in to be called by the ITQL) at 4 weeks. Compare the effectiveness of re-engagement message 1 to message 2 for linkage to the ITQL among patients who opted-in to an ITQL call but who were not reached after 3 attempts. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using a patient portal to advise patients to change their smoking behavior and refer them to the ITQL. We will compare the costs associated with our project to the costs associated with advising and referring patients during clinical appointments. Read Less

This study collects and stores tissue and blood samples from patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help scientists create new and better models to learn about cancer and to test new cancer drugs. Read Less

Phase III, multicenter, randomized study with two arms (1:1 ratio) enrolling patients with AML relapsed/refractory after 2, 3, or 4 prior induction regimens: Experimental arm: DFP-10917 14-day continuous intravenous (IV) infusion at a dose of 6 mg/m²/day followed by a 14-day resting period per 28-day cycles. Control arm: Non-Intensive Reinduction (LoDAC, Azacitidine, Decitabine, Venetoclax Combination Regimens) or Intensive Reinduction (High and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine Regimens), depending on the patient's prior induction treatment.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a prophylactic immune tolerizing regimen (ITR) to prevent or reduce the development of high titer anti-idursulfase antibodies in treatment-naïve participants with Hunter syndrome. In this open label, single arm study, all participants will receive ELAPRASE treatment and a prophylactic ITR. Participants will be treated with ELAPRASE for up to 104 weeks. The prophylactic ITR will start 1 day prior to the start of ELAPRASE. The prophylactic ITR will consist of a 5-week cycle of: Rituximab (intravenously \[IV\], weekly for 4 weeks); Methotrexate (oral, 3 times per week for 5 weeks) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (IV, every 4 weeks of the cycle). Following the completion of 1 cycle, an assessment will be made at Month 6, 12, and 18 regarding the need for administering another 5-week cycle of the ITR. Participants will be in the study for approximately 112 weeks (including 6 weeks for screening, up to 104 weeks for treatment, and 2 weeks for follow-up). Read Less

HeartShare is a comprehensive study of heart failure, a common and serious medical condition which occurs when the heart is unable to keep up with the demands of the body, resulting in shortness of breath, fluid retention, and fatigue. HeartShare aims to better classify heart failure into subtypes to help develop more personalized treatments for patients, with the hope that this will improve the lives of heart failure patients. To do this, HeartShare is bringing together a large amount of data (including images, such as heart ultrasounds and MRIs and molecular data from the blood, such as genetics) from previously conducted studies and electronic health records, and is gathering new data through participants enrolled in the HeartShare Deep Phenotyping Study.

This study elucidates the effects of the intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion on the biology of pancreatic circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from patients undergoing robotic pancreatectomy for all types of pancreatic cancer. A prospective randomized controlled double blinded trial design will be used for the proposed study. Read Less

In this prospective observational sub-study, participants with pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP) (perinatal/infantile- or juvenile-onset) of any age will be followed for a minimum of 5 years at sites in the United States and potentially 1 or 2 other countries. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of ROSE in individuals with adverse childhood experiences. The main question it aims to answer is, compared to enhanced treatment as usual, does the delivery of ROSE within a collaborative care model improve depressive symptom trajectories and prevent the development of perinatal depression. Participants will be randomized to either enhanced treatment as usual or the ROSE intervention, delivered by a care manager within a perinatal collaborative care program. They will complete self-reported surveys of their depression symptoms every 4 weeks to inform their symptom trajectories. They will also complete clinical interviews to establish any incident diagnoses of a major depressive episode. Read Less
