Screening for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and Cognitive Function in Individuals With History of Stroke
NCT06615973
Recruiting
Background: Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. It is also a leading cause of disability. More than 70% of people who survive strokes have mental impairment or dementia. Medical factors, such as the severity of the stroke, affect whether a person will have mental impairment afterward. But social factors, such as education and ethnicity, seem to play a role as well. Researchers want to learn more about how social and lifestyle factors affect a person s chances of mai... Read More

Developing Transcranial Neuromodulation Protocols for Learning and Decision-Making
NCT06561828
Recruiting
Background: People with substance use disorder (SUD) often have changes in brain function that can make it difficult to control drug-seeking behavior. These changes may heighten the urge to use drugs or lessen the desire to seek nondrug-related rewards. Researchers want to know how a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may cause changes in brain activity that may help people with SUD. Objective: To test TMS in healthy volunteers. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 4... Read More

18F-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor ([18F]FAPI-74) PET Imaging for Cancer Detection
NCT06503146
Recruiting
Background: Fibroblast-activation protein (FAP) is an enzyme that appears in high numbers in certain cancer cells. \[18F\]FAPI-74 is a new tracer-a substance that is injected into a person s body before an imaging scan. Researchers believe that \[18F\]FAPI-74 may be able to highlight FAP enzymes more effectively than approved tracers. If so, the new tracer would make it easier to find FAP-positive tumors in the body. Objective: To see if \[18F\]FAPI-74 PET scans are as good or better than oth... Read More

Modeling Host-Pathogen Interaction Using Lymphoid Organoids
NCT06479837
Recruiting
Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) are bacteria that can make people sick. Sometimes, an S. aureus infection can develop inside the spine; these infections can lead to paralysis and death. Researchers do not know how S. aureus interacts with a person s cells to cause infections in the spine. Objective: To learn how S. aureus interacts with cells in the body using tissues from tonsils discarded after standard surgery to remove them. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older who a...

A Phase II Study Evaluating an Organ Preservation Strategy Using Immune Checkpoint Blockade for Participants With Primary Colorectal or Gastroesophageal Cancer
NCT06410534
Recruiting
Background: People with colorectal cancer (CRC) or gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) must often have major surgery to remove tumors from the esophagus, stomach, colon, or rectum. These surgeries can have adverse effects on their quality of life. Researchers want to know if one or two approved drugs (nivolumab with or without ipilimumab) can help people with CRC or GEC delay or avoid surgery. Objective: To test 1 or 2 drugs in people with CRC or GEC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older w... Read More

A UGT1A1 Genotype-Directed Study of Belinostat Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity
NCT06406465
Recruiting
Background: High-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) are cancers that develop in different parts of the body, including the digestive tract, genitals, neck, and head. One drug (belinostat), combined with 2 other drugs (etoposide and cisplatin), is approved to treat HGNEC. But some people may have a gene variant that affects how quickly their body gets rid of the drug; these people may do better with different dosages of belinostat. Objective: To test higher or lower doses of belinostat ba... Read More
