Sensitivity of Angiotensin II Type II Receptors in Women Following Preeclampsia
Recruiting
Women who develop preeclampsia during pregnancy are more likely to develop and die of cardiovascular disease later in life, even if they are otherwise healthy. The reason why this occurs is unclear but may be related to impaired endothelial function and dysregulation of the angiotensin system that occurs during the preeclamptic pregnancy and persists postpartum, despite the remission of clinical symptoms. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the mechanisms contributing to this lasti... Read More

Breast Cancer PSMA PET
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to determine the expression of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen(PSMA) in metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) patients using Fludeoxyglucose F18 (FDG) PET/CT as the gold standard. The investigators hypothesize that most lesions in metastatic TNBC are PSMA-avid; and thus PSMA-based radionuclide therapy can be a valid treatment option for TNBC, and clinical trials can be designed for this purpose. Thirty metastatic TNBC patients will be enrolled and wil... Read More

The Effects of Heel Distraction Height on Foot Loading With Carbon Fiber Custom Dynamic Orthoses
Recruiting
Carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) and unloading ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have shown varying levels of success in reducing forces acting on different regions of the bottom of the foot during gait. CDOs and unloading AFOs have shown differing offloading capabilities across different regions of the foots (hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot) which may be related to a distinct difference between CDOs and unloading AFOs: CDOs do not suspend, or distract, the foot away from the footplate. The purp... Read More

Standardizing Treatments for Pulmonary Exacerbations - Aminoglycoside Study
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to look at pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) that need to be treated with antibiotics given through a tube inserted into a vein (intravenous or IV). A pulmonary exacerbation is a worsening of respiratory symptoms in people with CF that needs medical intervention. Both doctors and CF patients are trying to understand the best way to treat pulmonary exacerbations. This study is trying to answer the following questions about treating a pulmonar... Read More

Fenofibrate for Prevention of DR Worsening
Recruiting
This randomized trial will evaluate the effect of fenofibrate compared with placebo for prevention of diabetic retinopathy (DR) worsening through 6 years of follow-up in eyes with mild to moderately severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) and no CI-DME at baseline. In addition to evaluating efficacy, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a model for ophthalmologists to prescribe or collaborate with a primary care provider such as an internist/endocrinologist to prescribe and monitor the dru...

S1803, Lenalidomide +/- Daratumumab/rHuPh20 as Post-ASCT Maintenance for MM w/MRD to Direct Therapy Duration
Recruiting
Patients are enrolled to screening (Reg Step 1) prior to or after ASCT but prior to Reg Step 2. Patients are followed until they will begin Maintenance and then registered to Reg Step 2 (first randomization). Patients are randomized between Lenalidomide for 2 years and Lenalidomide + Daratumumab/rHuPH20. After 2 years of Maintenance, MRD is assessed to guide further therapy. MRD-positive patients will continue with the assigned treatment. MRD-negative patients will be further randomized (Reg Ste... Read More
