Baltimore, MD Paid Clinical Trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 2 different timepoints for clamping the umbilical cord at birth for term-born infants with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Delayed Cord Clamping at 120 seconds (DCC-120) or Delayed Cord Clamping at 30 seconds (DCC-30) after birth lead to better health outcomes? * Does DCC-120 seconds or DCC-30 seconds after birth lead to better neuromotor outcomes at 22-26 months of infant age (postnatal)? Participants will be asked to do the following: * Participate in either DCC-120 or DCC-30 at birth (randomized assignment). * Complete General Movements Assessment (GMA) at 3-4 months of infant age (postnatal), complete questionnaires / surveys at this time. * Complete questionnaires / surveys at 9-12 months of infant age (postnatal). * Complete Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), Developmental Assessment of Young Children 2 Edition (DAYC-2), and questionnaires / surveys at 22-26 months of infant age (postnatal). * Permit data collection from electronic medical records for both the mother and infant study participants. Investigators will compare DCC-120 vs. DCC-30 to see which approach is more beneficial to both the mother and baby with CHD. Read Less

The purpose of this Phase 2/3 study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of the combination of selinexor and R-GDP (SR-GDP) in patients with RR DLBCL who are not intended to receive hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. This study consists of 3 arms each in Phase 2 and 3. Phase 2 portion of the study will assess the two doses of selinexor (40 milligram \[mg\] or 60 mg) in combination with R-GDP, for up to 6 cycles (21-day per cycle), followed by 60 mg selinexor single agent continuous therapy for those who have reached a partial or complete response. Phase 3 portion of the study will evaluate the selected dose of SR-GDP (identified in Phase 2) versus standard R-GDP + matching placebo, for up to 6 cycles (21-day per cycle), followed by placebo or 60 mg selinexor single agent continuous therapy for those who have reached partial or complete response.

Foralumab is a human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The goal of this Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, multicenter dose-ranging study is to evaluate the use of nasal foralumab in patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The primary objectives that this study aims to answer are: 1. To determine the safety and tolerability of 50 μg/dose and 100 μg/dose of foralumab nasal compared to placebo 2. To investigate the effect of foralumab relative to placebo on the change from baseline \[18F\]PBR06-positron emission tomography (PET) scans for microglial activation, after 12 weeks (3) months of study treatment.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of bemcentinib with chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) when administered as first line (1L) treatment in participants with locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIC) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC with no actionable mutations and to determine the anti-tumor activity of the combination of bemcentinib with CIT when administered as 1L treatment in participants with locally advanced (Stage IIIb/IIIc) or metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC with serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) mutation and no actionable mutations.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how genetics and the response to stress predicts cognitive decline in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does the hormone response to acute stress predict the degree of cognitive impairment following acute stress? * Do genes associated with the risk for Alzheimer's disease influence the relationship between stress hormone response to stress and cognitive impairment following stress? * Do cognitive impairment following acute stress and genes associated with the risk for Alzheimer's disease predict cognitive decline and change in biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease 2 years later? Participants will have 3 in-person study visits. The first 2 will occur at baseline and the 3rd visit will occur 2 years later. During the visits, participants will provide blood and saliva samples, undergo a 10-minute social stress procedure, complete questionnaires, and take tests of memory and other thinking skills. Someone who knows the participant (a "study partner") will be asked questions about the participant's daily functioning at the first and 3rd study visits. Read Less

This is an ongoing, prospective cohort study of children and young adults who are evaluated in the Reversing the Negative Effects of Weight on the Heart (ReNEW) Clinic at Johns Hopkins University. Demographic and clinical data of patients who agree to participate are obtained via chart review and entered into a longitudinal clinic registry. Read Less

Although cochlear implants can restore hearing to individuals who have lost cochlear hair cell function, there is no widely available, adequately effective treatment for individuals suffering chronic imbalance, postural instability and unsteady vision due to bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Prior research focused on ototoxic cases has demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve via a chronically implanted multichannel vestibular implant can partially restore vestibular reflexes that normally maintain steady posture and vision; improve performance on objective measures of postural stability and gait; and improve patient-reported disability and health-related quality of life. This single-arm open-label study extends that research to evaluate outcomes for up to 8 individuals with non-ototoxic bilateral vestibular hypofunction, yielding a total of fifteen adults (age 22-90 years at time of enrollment) divided as equally as possible between ototoxic and non-ototoxic cases.

The opioid overdose epidemic has persisted for several decades and is now further complicated by the permeation of fentanyl into the illicit opioid supply. While the effectiveness of medications to treat opioid use disorder (MOUD) have been well documented in the literature, the addition of fentanyl to the drug supply has complicated the initiation of MOUD, especially buprenorphine. Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, is currently utilized to reverse opioid overdose by displacing less-competitive ligands which bind at the mu-opioid receptor. Because induction to buprenorphine in the age of fentanyl is uncomfortable and can take several days to stabilize a patient on a therapeutic dose, the use of naloxone prior to buprenorphine can aid in a safe and rapid transition to buprenorphine treatment, without the effect of unintended prolonged precipitated withdrawal which can occur following the displacement of fentanyl by buprenorphine on the mu-opioid receptor. Therefore, this project will assess feasibility and acceptability of naloxone-facilitated buprenorphine initiation using a single-ascending dose design. The investigators will examine whether a single dose of buprenorphine is tolerated following administration of naloxone among a small group of individuals. If the dose is tolerated, the investigators will administer a larger dose among another small group of individuals. The investigators will examine the tolerability of up to 4 doses of buprenorphine following naloxone. This buprenorphine induction method has been characterized in case studies but it has not been evaluated in an empirical, systematic way in a controlled setting. This study will take place within an residential facility at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Campus, and will have immediate, real-world applicability in establishing a rapid, safe, and effective option to transition people with chronic fentanyl use to buprenorphine treatment.

The Percutaneous Cholangiopancreatoscopy (PCPS) registry is an observational, multicentric, prospective, and retrospective registry of patients undergoing the percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy procedure at sites across the United States. In the retrospective component of the study, clinical and procedural data regarding patients who have undergone clinical indicated percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy procedure in the past will be collected from all the registry sites and stored in a secure database. The prospective component of the registry will run for three years at each site where patients undergoing the clinically indicated percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy procedure will be enrolled in the study, and the patients' data will be collected whenever the patients present to interventional radiology (IR) for a procedure or clinic visit.
