Novel Precision Medicine Approach to Treatment of Osteoporosis Based on Bone Turnover
Recruiting
Osteoporosis affects 24.5% of women over 65 and results in fracture-related hospital admissions exceeding those of heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer combined. Current treatment options do not account for differences between age-related and estrogen deficiency related osteoporosis, because of the need for bone biopsies for determination. This study will establish a paradigm-shifting individualized treatment protocol for age-related osteoporosis and a non-invasive method for its determinati... Read More

Impact of Bromocriptine on Clinical Outcomes for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Recruiting
The study will enroll 200 women newly diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy within 5 months postpartum in a randomized placebo controlled trial of bromocriptine therapy to evaluate its impact on myocardial recovery and clinical outcomes. Given that bromocriptine prevents breastfeeding, an additional 50 women with peripartum cardiomyopathy excluded from the trial due to a desire to continue breastfeeding but meeting all other entry criteria will be followed in an observational cohort.

K23- Physical Self Regulation vs Placebo
Recruiting
This study will use a between-person design. Participants will be treatment-seeking patients with chronic masticatory muscle pain. Participants who are eligible for the study and consent to participate will be randomly assigned to receive a brief behavioral intervention for chronic orofacial pain called Physical Self-Regulation or a control intervention. Interventions will be administered via telehealth in both arms. Both interventions will consist of 2 50-minute sessions scheduled approximately... Read More

Pathways, a Hope Intervention to Support Personal Goal Pursuit, Mental Health, and Quality of Life During Advanced Lung Cancer Treatment
Recruiting
This study will compare the effects of a brief supportive intervention, called Pathways, against enhanced usual care on the mental health and quality of life of people undergoing treatment for advanced lung cancer. Patients will complete baseline survey measures and be randomized to intervention. Survey measures will be collected again mid-intervention, post-intervention and at 6- and 12-week follow-up, with analyses focused on changes pre- to post-intervention.

Telavancin Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentrations in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Recruiting
The proposed study aims to evaluate the CNS penetration of telavancin in a critically ill population using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drawn from external ventricular drains (EVDs) in patients who have had spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients with SAH were chosen as the target population because they frequently require prolonged admission to the intensive care unit and drainage of CSF in order to prevent hydrocephalus. The estimated sample size is 20 subjects. This is a prospective... Read More

Opioid Drug Interaction Study
Recruiting
This study will examine the effects of doses of opioid/placebo and doses of alprazolam/placebo, alone and in combination. The primary outcomes are pharmacodynamic measures (subjective ratings of drug liking and other abuse-related effects; physiological outcomes) and pharmacokinetic outcomes (from blood samples) to determine the interaction effects of these compounds.

CRISPR-Edited Allogeneic Anti-BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Recruiting
This is a Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of CB-011 (the study treatment), an allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cell therapy that targets the B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), to determine the best dose of CB-011, and to assess the effectiveness of CB-011 in treating multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or that is no longer responding to other treatment (refractory).

Surveillance and Treatment to Prevent Fetal Atrioventricular Block Likely to Occur Quickly (STOP BLOQ)
Recruiting
Fetal complete (i.e., third degree, 3°) atrioventricular block (AVB), identified in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy in an otherwise normally developing heart, is almost universally associated with maternal anti-Ro autoantibodies and results in death in a fifth of cases. To date treatment of 3° AVB has been ineffective in restoring normal rhythm (NR) which may be because current surveillance is limited to once- weekly fetal echocardiograms. It is hypothesized that there may be a vital transition p... Read More

Testing the Use of Chemotherapy After Surgery for High-Risk Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies the effect of capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery in treating patients with high-risk well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as capecitabine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving capecitabine and temozolomide after surgery could prevent or delay the return of cancer in patients wit... Read More
