Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Escalating Doses of Fostamatinib in Subjects With Stable Sickle Cell Disease
NCT05904093
Recruiting
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease that causes the body to produce abnormal ( sickled ) red blood cells. SCD can cause anemia and life-threatening complications in the lungs, heart, kidney, and nerves. People with SCD are also at increased risk of forming blood clots in the veins and lungs, but the standard treatments for these clots can cause increased bleeding in people with SCD. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a drug (fostamatinib) in people with SC... Read More

Testing Low-Dose Common Chemotherapy (Liposomal Doxorubicin) in Combination With an Anti-Cancer Drug, Peposertib, in Advanced Sarcoma
NCT05711615
Recruiting
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with liposomal doxorubicin and peposertib in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from where it first started, to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and for which no known cure is available (advanced). Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells.... Read More

Development and Validation of Learning and Decision-Making Tasks
NCT05707806
Recruiting
Background: Substance use disorders (SUD) can be considered disorders in the way people process incentives, learn, and make decisions. To understand why some people develop SUD, researchers need to develop reliable tests that show how people think and learn. This natural history study seeks to develop a set of tasks that could then be used to test how people learn and make decisions. Objective: To develop and validate behavioral tasks that could be used in future studies. Eligibility: Healt... Read More

State-dependent Interoception, Value-based Decision-making, and Introspection
NCT05666726
Recruiting
Background: Negative emotional states can affect a person s behavior as they make decisions. For example, hunger may make people more impatient; they may then make riskier choices. Other negative emotional states that can change behavior include stress, pain, and sadness. By learning more about how emotions affect thinking and behavior in healthy people, researchers hope to better understand how to identify and treat people with mental disorders. Objective: To learn how negative emotions affe... Read More

NCT05665361
Recruiting
Background: Kidney cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Some kidney tumors do not respond well to current treatments. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a pair of drugs (sasanlimab and palbociclib) in people with kidney cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with kidney cancer; specifically, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) or papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). Design: Participants will be screened.

A Study of a Virtual Education-Based Transition Intervention to Improve Transition Readiness in Adolescent and Young Adults With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
NCT05663320
Recruiting
Background: Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) can survive well into adulthood with proper treatment. But the change from pediatric to adult care can be challenging. Many people with CAH need extra support as they learn to take control of their own health care needs. Researchers have studied how people respond to different types of patient education. Now researchers want to find out if virtual education, via computer, is a good way to teach people how to manage CAH as they becom... Read More

Observational Study of Advanced Data Analytics in Genetic Conditions
NCT05657405
Recruiting
Background: The genes a person is born with can sometimes cause serious diseases. Genetic diseases are rare, but they can have a big impact on the people they affect. Researchers have already made great strides in understanding how some genes cause disease. But they would like to have even better tools to analyze and understand genetic data. To create these new tools, they need to gather health and genetic data from a lot of people. Objective: This natural history study will gather medical in... Read More

Early Metabolic Effects of Dolutegravir or Tenofovir Alefenamide in Healthy Volunteers
NCT05652478
Recruiting
Background: People with HIV take drugs to keep the amount of virus in their body low. One type of these drugs, called integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), can cause weight gain over time. Weight gain can cause diabetes, heart disease, and other serious issues. Researchers want to understand how INSTIs cause weight changes. Objective: To see how a common INSTI, dolutegravir (DTG), affects how the body uses energy. DTG will be compared with a non-INSTI drug, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF... Read More
