Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab and IO102-103 for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN).
NCT05977907
Recruiting
This research is being done to see if it is safe to give investigational combination of study drugs (Pembrolizumab and IO102-103) before surgery to people with surgically resectable (removable) newly diagnosed or recurrent metastatic SCCHN. This will be done by watching participants closely for possible side effects from Pembrolizumab and IO102-103. In addition, participants will be monitored for any delays to their surgery due to the study drugs.

Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has a MET Exon 14 Skipping Gene Change (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
NCT06031688
Recruiting
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Tepotinib is used in patients whose cancer has a mutated (changed) form of a gene called MET. It is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking t... Read More

Proteogenomic Monitoring and Assessment of Kidney Transplant Recipients
NCT01531257
Recruiting
Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (CAN)/Interstitial fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy (IFTA) is responsible for most kidney transplant failures. CAN/IFTA on a 3 month kidney biopsy strongly predicts graft survival long term. CAN/IFTA remains a vexing problem for clinicians because current monitoring tools, namely the serum creatinine concentration, are not sensitive to early changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or to histologic damage. Despite advances in prevention of acute rejection (AR), it i... Read More

Transpyloric Stenting As a Predictor for G-POEM for Refractory Gastroparesis
NCT04287647
Recruiting
This is a prospective sham study to investigate the role of transpyloric stenting with lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) as a predictor for clinical response to gastric per-oral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (GPOEM) for refractory gastroparesis. The study hypothesizes that clinical improvement with transpyloric stenting in patients with refractory gastroparesis is a predictor of subsequent clinical success of GPOEM.

The Use of Pecs Blocks in Combination With Exparel in Breast Reconstruction Surgery
NCT05171179
Recruiting
This project intends to more thoroughly investigate the direct influence of Pecs blocks in the administration of Exparel, a non-opioid analgesic, in breast reconstruction surgery. The hypothesis is that this analgesic delivery method will significantly reduce negative outcomes such as post-operative pain, opioid use, and nausea while increasing positive outcomes such as post-operative physical activity.

NPWTi on Closure of Chronic Pressure Sores
NCT05598398
Recruiting
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system with instillation therapy (NPWTi) on closure of chronic pressure sores. This intervention will be compared to wet-to-dry dressings, which is standard of care. In this post-market, on-label study, we hope to show that the NPWTi system more effectively closes pressure sores following debridement than traditional care.

Positioning for Hip Arthroscopic Surgery to Reduce Postoperative Numbness
NCT05038709
Recruiting
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area... Read More

Feasibility Trial of Sodium-GLucose CoTransporter 2 INhibitors in Pediatric Chronic KIDney DiSease
NCT06430684
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to learn if a clinical trial of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is possible in youth with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The investigators also plan to explore whether treatment with SGLT2i (Empagliflozin) helps improve risk factors for worsening kidney and heart disease. The main questions are: 1. Is enrolling 40 youth with CKD into a clinical trial of empagliflozin feasible (ie achievable)? 2. Does taking empagliflozin for 3 months result in positi... Read More
