Bevacizumab Treatment For Type 1 ROP
NCT04634578
Recruiting
Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity in zone I represents the most severe type of ROP and has the worst prognosis. It is unknown whether low-dose bevacizumab will be successful in these severe cases. Also unknown is the timing and extent of peripheral retinal vascularization after low-dose bevacizumab compared with the standard dose. The current study will evaluate whether doses of 0.063 mg and 0.25mg are effective as treatment for type 1 ROP, with ROP and retinal vessels all in zone I.

One-Time DNA Study for Vasculitis
NCT01241305
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to identify genes that increase the risk of developing vasculitis, a group of severe diseases that feature inflammation of blood vessels. Results of these studies will provide vasculitis researchers with insight into the causes of these diseases and generate new ideas for diagnostic tests and therapies, and will be of great interest to the larger communities of researchers investigating vasculitis and other autoimmune, inflammatory, and vascular diseases.

XL092 for the Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Radioiodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
NCT06959641
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well XL092 works for the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that has not responded to previous treatment with radioiodine (radioiodine refractory) and that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). XL092 is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein t... 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.

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
