Psychophysical and Neural Mechanisms Contributing to Chronic Post-Surgical Pain in Adolescents and Adults
NCT05304286
Recruiting
The current project will (1) enhance our understanding of the neurobiology of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP); (2) provide a metric to follow patients with CPSP in the clinic; (3) provide a metric for those who will chronify; and (4) understand the age-related differences in CPSP. Ultimately, an improved comprehension of mechanisms linked to CPSP will provide finer tools for optimizing the selection of treatments for individual patients. Moreover, data that demonstrates the underlying pathobio... Read More

Mind Body Intervention for Long COVID-19
NCT06045338
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to determine if a mind-body intervention can help people suffering from symptoms associated with Long COVID. The study is a randomized trial examining the effectiveness of a mind body intervention in reducing somatic symptoms from Long COVID in participants as compared to usual care and an active control (second mind body intervention). The investigators will secondarily investigate whether the intervention alleviates individual somatic complaints and improves daily fun... Read More

Confirmation of Diet as a Treatment for Gulf War Illness
NCT05675878
Recruiting
This clinical trial aims to confirm previous findings from a smaller study which demonstrated significant improvements in all symptoms among veterans with Gulf War Illness after one month on the dietary intervention. The main objectives of this study are: 1) to confirm previous findings of treatment response to the diet in a larger and more diverse group; 2) to examine how changes in the nervous system may be the reason for improvement; and 3) to identify markers which change in the blood after...

Comparing Dara-VCD Chemotherapy Plus Stem Cell Transplant to Dara-VCD Chemotherapy Alone for People Who Have Newly Diagnosed AL Amyloidosis
NCT06022939
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding a stem cell transplant with melphalan after completing chemotherapy with daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) versus chemotherapy with Dara-VCD alone for treating patients with newly diagnosed amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Melphalan is a chemotherapy given prior to a stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make... Read More

A Study of Targeted Agents for Patients With Recurrent or Persistent Endometrial Cancer
NCT04486352
Recruiting
This is a Phase IB/II multi-cohort study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted agents with or without cancer immune checkpoint therapy with atezolizumab in participant with recurrent and/or persistent endometrial cancer. The main protocol provides a platform for genomic screening with homogeneous basic eligibility criteria in order to direct study participants into biomarker-matched study cohorts consisting of testing targeted agents.

The Exercise and Concussion Health Study
NCT06494592
Recruiting
This study aims to investigate the effect of two different physical exercise interventions on the brain, cognition and patient reported outcomes following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in community-dwelling adults. Physical exercise as an intervention for mTBI has great potential yet there is limited high-quality evidence of its effect. Additionally, while standardized exercise protocols for sport-related concussion exist, a similar program is not available to members of the general publ... Read More

Crizotinib in Treating Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been Removed by Surgery and ALK Fusion Mutations (An ALCHEMIST Treatment Trial)
NCT02201992
Recruiting
This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-sma... Read More
