Using Visual Arrays to Support Understanding of Genetic Risk
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to understand how people understand risk from genetic testing. The investigators want to understand what visual aid best helps people accurately assess risk. The investigators also want to understand how people relate risk to their health. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Which visual aid most accurately show genetic risk? 2. How do people perceive risk related to genetic test results? 3. What factors are associated with people discussing their resul... Read More

Facilitation of Extinction Retention and Reconsolidation Blockade by IV Allopregnanolone in PTSD.
Recruiting
Purpose: About 6.4% of the U.S. population suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma-focused psychotherapies are generally effective in PTSD, but responses vary greatly across individuals and PTSD subpopulations. Neurobiological factors impacted by life experiences, stress, and genetics can affect treatment responses. These factors can alter brain capacities needed to reprocess traumatic memories prevent them from triggering intensely distressing, disruptive, out-of-place respons... Read More

Testing the Safety and Efficacy of the Addition of A New Anti-cancer Drug, ZEN003694, to Chemotherapy Treatment (Etoposide and Cisplatin) for Adult and Pediatric Patients (12-17 Years) With NUT Carcinoma
Recruiting
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of a new combination of drugs, ZEN003694, cisplatin, and etoposide in treating patients with NUT carcinoma (phase I), and identifies whether this combination therapy works to shrink tumor in these patients (phase II). Another purpose of this study is to see whether there are any changes in patient's tumor or blood characteristics (e.g. genes, molecules, etc.) due to combination therapy. ZEN003694 inhibits the production of certa... Read More
