XL092 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Radioiodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
NCT06959641

Study of Orally Administered AG-120 in Subjects With Advanced Hematologic Malignancies With an IDH1 Mutation
NCT02074839
Recruiting
The purpose of this Phase I, multicenter study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of AG-120 in advanced hematologic malignancies that harbor an IDH1 mutation. The first portion of the study is a dose escalation phase where cohorts of patients will receive ascending oral doses of AG-120 to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase II dose. The second portion of the study is a dose expansion phase where four cohorts of pati... Read More

Geriatric Assessment and Technology Evaluation in Prostate Cancer
NCT06215508
Recruiting
By doing this study, doctors hope to learn more about factors that contribute to frailty (a condition where older adults feel weak, get tired easily, and struggle more with everyday activities) and serious side effects among men over the age of 65 who will receive androgen deprivation therapy (also called "hormone therapy") for prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of their body. Participation in this research will last about 5 years. For the first year, participants will have 5 study v... Read More

New Strategies to Enhance Smoking Cessation
NCT06751927
Recruiting
The study goal is to get feedback on ways researchers can communicate complex research findings on smoking cessation to better inform patients' decisions to use medication and/or quit smoking. This will help researchers and clinicians to provide effective, easy-to-implement treatments designed to address tobacco-related health disparities in Black and other racial/ethnic subgroups. It will also help improve health literacy to change misperceptions and mistrust on uptake of varenicline and other... Read More

Study to Assess the Feasibility of Stopping Prostate Cancer Treatment Early in Elderly Patients
NCT06824818
Recruiting
This study seeks to identify if it is feasible to stop Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonist Therapy in elderly men with prostate cancer. We hypothesize that elderly prostate cancer patients on long term androgen ablation with LHRH agonists will be permanently castrated and do not require ongoing LHRH agonist therapy. Participants will be monitored by testosterone testing throughout study.

Pragmatic Use of PAIN-Advanced Dementia Scale in Emergency Departments
NCT06370572
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to learn if the Pain in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) scale can improve emergency pain care in persons living with dementia (PLWD). It is hypothesized that a PAINAD electronic health record (EHR) prompt that appears to emergency department (ED) staff will enable them to accurately assess pain levels and lead to better pain treatment for PLWD.

A Clinical Study of MK-1084 in Participants With Renal Impairment (MK-1084-010)
NCT06814119
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to learn what happens to MK-1084 levels in a person's body over time. Researchers will measure what happens to MK-1084 levels in the body when it is given to people with moderate or severe renal impairment (RI) (meaning the kidneys do not work properly) as compared to people who are in good health. Researchers also want to learn about the safety of MK-1084 when it is given to people with RI and if people with RI can tolerate it.
