Kidney Stone Inflammation
Recruiting
This observational study aims to look at the connections between kidney stones, insulin resistance, and inflammation. The researchers hypothesize that people who form calcium kidney stones and have insulin resistance may have higher levels of inflammation because they have more visceral fat (fat around the abdominal organs). The study will recruit 20 people who have had calcium kidney stones but don't have diabetes, and 20 healthy people who haven't had kidney stones. All the participants will... Read More

Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Immunomodulation With A Monoclonal Antibody Against CD40L in Combination With Transplanted Islet Cells in Adults With Brittle Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D)
Recruiting
AT-1501 is a monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that are produced naturally by the subject's immune system to attack and fight foreign substances that cause illness. Monoclonal antibodies are man-made proteins manufactured to serve as substitute antibodies to fight diseases. Monoclonal antibodies can restore, enhance, or mimic (copy) the immune system's attack process; they can also tone down the immune system. AT-1501 is thought to work by dampening down the immune system so... Read More

Examining the Effects of a Remotely-delivered, Racially-tailored Exercise Training Program for Immediate and Sustained Improvements in Walking Dysfunction, Symptoms, and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Among African-Americans With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Residing in Rural Environments.
Recruiting
The proposed project involves a high-quality randomized controlled (RCT) design that examines the effects of a remotely-delivered, racially-tailored exercise training program for immediate and sustained improvement in walking dysfunction, symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among African-Americans with MS residing in rural environments. The primary analysis will test the hypothesis that those who are randomly assigned into the intervention condition (i.e., exercise training) wil... Read More

Study of Biomarker-Based Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Recruiting
This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study "Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1)." The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negativ... Read More

Time-restricted Eating Among Pregnant Females With Severe Obesity
Recruiting
In the United States, severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40.0 kg/m2) affects approximately 10% of females of reproductive age with Black females disproportionately burdened (16%). Severe obesity is a significant predictor of adverse perinatal outcomes including gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and at its most severe, fetal death, birth defects and a three-fold greater risk of maternal mortality - outcomes that also disproportionately affect Black females. Obser... Read More

Dex +/- Caffeine Sedation in a Post-MRI Recovery in a Pediatric Population
Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine (Dex), a selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, is the most used sedative for procedural sedation in children and in pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) because it is associated with less respiratory depression and also less neurotoxicity; rather Dex appears neuroprotective. Unfortunately, Dex is associated with very long emergence times and may cause bradycardia and hypotension. However, using sedation dosing guidelines (by consensus among SPS members) 1-3 mcg/kg bolus and a... Read More
