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.

Flat Dose vs. Weight-based IP Chemotherapy for CRS/HIPEC
NCT04779554
Recruiting
Peritoneal carcinomatosis from advanced gastro-intestinal malignancy has historically been associated with poor overall survival (≤ 12 months) with few treatment options. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which involves removal of all macroscopic tumor nodules, combined with direct administration of heated intra-peritoneal (IP) chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the affected peritoneal surfaces, has been shown to be an effective treatment option that extends overall survival among certain cases of peritoneal ca...

Behavioral Effects of Drugs (Inpatient): 43 (Opioids, Cocaine, n-Acetylcysteine)
NCT05610072
Recruiting
The overarching hypotheses of this protocol are that (1) persistent brain glutamate changes induced by chronic opioid use will exacerbate use of cocaine during opioid physical dependence and withdrawal and (2) n-acetylcysteine (NAC) will ameliorate glutamatergic dysregulation, and thus will reduce both opioid and cocaine demand. These hypotheses will be tested with two specific aims. Specific Aim 1. Determine the reinforcing effects of cocaine in individuals with comorbid opioid and cocaine use... Read More

Evaluating Safety and Feasibility of Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Following Traumatic and Non-Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study
NCT06520020
Recruiting
The study will be a non-randomized, non-blinded pilot study to analyze the safety and feasibility of a non-significant risk device, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. The aim is to include 30 total patients, 10 patients in each of 3 groups: 1. Non-traumatic spinal cord injury (ntSCI) with diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy and offered surgical intervention. 2. Early tSCI screened during the hospital admission when cervical/thoracic spinal injury was diagnosed. 3. Delayed tSCI (c... Read More

Regulation of Mucosal Healing in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
NCT04504136
Recruiting
The objective of the current study is to compare non-healing colonic ulcers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with iatrogenic colonic ulcers (biopsy sites) in healthy control patients and patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Patients will be biopsied at baseline and again at a follow-up visit in a "biopsy of the biopsy" approach. These biopsies will be used to reveal patterns about gene expression and mitochondrial function during ulcer healing.
