Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion. Growing evidence suggests that while pain and functional status improve following TKR, physical activity (PA) typically does not surpass pre-TKR levels. Engagement in PA can meaningfully improve quality of life (QoL), pain, and function. Given the large investment in TKR, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of TKR could be substantially increased if TKR recipients became more physically active. The Knee Arthroplasty Activity Trial (KArAT) is a randomized controlled trial and participants will be randomly assigned to one of three arms. Participants across all arms will receive usual post-operative care for TKR surgery. Participants in the first arm will complete basic study activities, such as responding to surveys and attending two in-person clinic visits. Participants in the second arm will do the same and also receive a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. Participants in the third arm will receive a telephonic active coaching (motivational interviewing) and financial incentives (for reaching physical activity goals) (TAC(MI)+FI) based intervention, as well as a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. The second and third arms will be eligible to receive lottery-based financial rewards for wearing a wrist-worn activity tracker for twenty-four months during the study. Read Less

This proposal will evaluate a series of peer-mediated interventions (PMIs) for preschool children (3 to 6 years) with ASD and limited or no spoken language, using an innovative Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design. Available evidence supports the beneficial effects of PMIs for improving social communication in children with ASD. Peer-related social competence is vital to a wide range of child outcomes, such as improved communication and fewer behavioral problems. Unfortunately, approximately 30% of children with ASD remain minimally-verbal in kindergarten, restricting participation in inclusive activities. Recent studies report improved communication after a speech-generating device (SGD) is included in treatment. Effective interventions that can be modified is necessary to ensure optimal communication outcomes when children do not make anticipated progress. A strength of the study is that these interventions can be adopted by community-based, early service providers. All participants will receive an adapted Stay-Play-Talk (SPT) peer-mediated intervention that varies in active ingredients. With SMART designs, it is possible to test and identify alternative combinations of PMI approaches, such as the addition of a SGD. In this study, 132 preschoolers with ASD (and N=264 peers without disabilities) will be initially randomized to SPT and SGD with spoken peer input only (SPT Basic; peers taught to model language) or SPT and SGD with augmented peer input (SPT Plus; peers taught to use verbal language models concurrently with the SGD). Each child's response to treatment after 5 weeks will determine that child's next phase in the SMART design. Children showing a positive response will continue in their originally assigned group; slow responders will be randomly assigned to receive added treatment components to improve communication (either SPT Plus or SPT Advanced). SPT Advanced adds direct instruction strategies (i.e., adult prompts, reinforcers, and teaching trials) to increase child vocalizations in SGD interventions. The use of a SMART design extends our prior work by testing the systematic addition of selected peer-mediated strategies in combination with an SGD that allows for flexible application of interventions based on child response. The investigators have assembled an outstanding team of highly qualified investigators with complementary skills in preschool assessment, language intervention, clinical trials, and statistics.

Enroll-HD is a longitudinal, observational, multinational study that integrates two former Huntington's disease (HD) registries-REGISTRY in Europe, and COHORT in North America and Australasia-while also expanding to include sites in Latin America. More than 30,000 participants have now enrolled into the study. With annual assessments and no end date, Enroll-HD has built a large and rich database of longitudinal clinical data and biospecimens that form the basis for studies developing tools and biomarkers for progression and prognosis, identifying clinically-relevant phenotypic characteristics, and establishing clearly defined endpoints for interventional studies. Periodic cuts of the database are now available to any interested researcher to use in their research - visit www.enroll-hd.org/for-researchers/access-data/ to learn more. Read Less

This phase II trial tests how well lifileucel, with reduce dose fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for lymphodepletion and interleukin-2, work for treating patients with melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic).Lifileucel is made up of specialized immune cells called lymphocytes or T cells that are taken from a patient's tumor, grown in a manufacturing facility and infused back into the preconditioned patient to attack the tumor. Giving Lifileucel with a reduced dose of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for lymphodepletion and interleukin -2 is being studied in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Read Less

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of two different doses of umbilical cord derived, ex-vivo cultured and expanded Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCTC-0010) in the treatment of acute Graft versus Host Disease (aGVHD). The first 5 participants enrolled in the study will receive a lower dose of MSCTC-0010. If none of the first 5 participants have treatment-related serious adverse events (TRSAEs) for 42 days, then the next 5 participants will receive a slightly higher dose of MSCTC-0010. Read Less
