Cardiac Sarcoidosis Randomized Trial
Recruiting
Prospective randomized controlled trial comparing low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination to standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone) in patients diagnosed with acute active clinically manifest cardiac sarcoidosis and not yet treated. The Investigators hypothesize that low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination will be as effective as standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone), and result in significantly better quality of life and less toxicity than sta...

A Prospective, Observational Study in Adults With Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
Recruiting
The natural history in individuals with severe retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is variable and there remains an unmet need to better understand disease progression in this population. The goal of this study is to determine which visual assessments individuals with RP and low visual acuity can reliably perform and to evaluate the annual decline of visual function in severe RP.

DNA Analysis of Blood and Tissue from Patients with Lung Cancer
Recruiting
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is analyzing the DNA in blood and tissue samples from patients with lung cancer.

Skilled Nursing Facility Care At Home
Recruiting
We will perform a parallel-group multicenter patient-level randomized controlled evaluation of skilled nursing facility care at home. Patients typically referred to a skilled nursing facility following hospitalization will be eligible for enrollment. Instead of admission to a skilled nursing facility, participants will receive care from a technology-enabled team in their own homes or will be allocated to receive care in a traditional skilled nursing facility setting.

KiteLock 4% EDTA Lock Solution for the Prevention of Occlusions in Children with Intestinal Failure
Recruiting
A multi-site, randomized, 2-arm open-label trial to determine if 4% Tetrasodium (EDTA) catheter lock solution is more effective than heparin lock (standard of care) in preventing central venous catheter occlusions in children with intestinal failure (IF) on total parenteral nutrition (TPN).

Telemedicine Intervention in Patients With Chronic Pain in PD
Recruiting
Pain is a very common and disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease, yet it is often untreated. This study will assess the impact of home-based physical and cognitive exercise interventions to reduce pain in this disease. This approach would offer an easily implemented and affordable way to encourage and maintain use of these interventions by patients virtually indefinitely through remote access technology. The study findings may help VA clinicians provide optimal care for the many Veterans with... Read More

Determinants of Incident Stroke Cognitive Outcomes and Vascular Effects on RecoverY
Recruiting
The overall goal of the DISCOVERY study is to better understand what factors contribute to changes in cognitive (i.e., thinking and memory) abilities in patients who experienced a stroke. The purpose of the study is to help doctors identify patients at risk for dementia (decline in memory, thinking and other mental abilities that significantly affects daily functioning) after their stroke so that future treatments may be developed to improve outcomes in stroke patients. For this study, a "stroke... Read More
