Gemcitabine and Cisplatin Without Cystectomy for Patients With Muscle Invasive Bladder Urothelial Cancer and Select Genetic Alterations
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin work in treating participants with invasive bladder urothelial cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Vismodegib, FAK Inhibitor GSK2256098, Capivasertib, and Abemaciclib in Treating Patients With Progressive Meningiomas
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098, and capivasertib work in treating patients with meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting
In this research study we want to learn more about the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on memory and brain-network function in cognitively unimpaired older adults and in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). This study will use a form of non-invasive brain stimulation called repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). rTMS will slightly alter activity in an area of your brain that controls memory. Changes resulting from this stimulation will be measured wit... Read More

Romosozumab as an Adjunct to Physiologic Estrogen Replacement in Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to determine whether romosozumab will improve bone density in girls and women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (cessation of the menstrual period due to intense exercise, stress, or an eating disorder) who have low bone density. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive romosozumab or placebo for 6 months. All participants will receive one IV infusion of zoledronate at the 6 month visit. All participants will also receive transdermal estradiol and cyclic... Read More

A Mixed Methods Pilot Trial of the STEP Home Workshop to Improve Reintegration and Reduce Suicide Risk for Recently Transitioned Veterans
Recruiting
Risk of Veteran suicide is elevated during the first year of transition from military service to civilian life. Most Veteran suicides occur among Veterans who are not connected to VA healthcare. Suicide prevention and connection to care are therefore critical for recently transitioning Veterans. Transitioning Veterans require services to provide them with suicide prevention education, skills to manage their transition effectively, and support in their access to VA healthcare. Convenient, accessi... Read More

Dotarem vs Gadobutrol Contrast for Breast MRI
Recruiting
In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators expect to demonstrate that the MRI contrast agent Dotarem is not less effective in contrast enhancement of breast lesions then Gadavist. Participants will be randomized to receive either Dotarem or Gadavist. In all cases, inclusion criteria will require patients having undergone or scheduled or most likely to be scheduled to undergo tissue sampling with histology results available. The patients will be prospectively and consecutively identifie... Read More

Mind Body Intervention for Chronic Upper Extremity Pain (Repetitive Stress Injury)
Recruiting
The goal of this nonrandomized pilot study is to test a mind-body interventional approach for the treatment of chronic upper extremity pain or repetitive stress injury of the upper extremity (wrist/shoulder/elbow). 1. To determine if a mind-body intervention improves upper extremity functional capacity (ie., Disability of Arm Shoulder Hand - DASH) among people with chronic wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain 2. To determine if a mind-body intervention decreases pain intensity, pain-related anxiety,... Read More

The goal of this clinicial trial is to test the acceptability and feasibility of linear cognitive aid intervention to support EMS teams in responding to pediatric emergencies. We are testing the hypothesis that cognitive aids with linear logic will be feasible to use and acceptable to EMS teams in urban and rural areas. Researchers will compare technical performance, teamwork, and self-assessed cognitive load of participants to see the difference between performing resuscitations using their cu... Read More
