Targeting Orexin to Treat Nicotine Dependence
Recruiting
Tobacco smoking continues to be the primary cause of preventable mortality in the United States. Despite the availability of smoking cessation aids, the majority of those trying to quit smoking end up relapsing. Thus, there is a strong need to evaluate alternative treatment targets such as orexin antagonists, which have shown promise in preclinical models at reducing the motivational aspects of drug use.The current work will evaluate the influence of orexin antagonism on several factors impactin...

Development of LabPatch-alcohol as a Noninvasive Skin Patch to Detect Blood Alcohol Concentrations
Recruiting
This study is designed to test LabPatch-alcohol, a wearable, non-invasive biosensor Band-Aid like patch that is designed to detect real-time changes in interstitial alcohol concentrations in human subjects. The changes in interstitial alcohol concentrations will be compared to blood alcohol concentrations to determine the patch's validity against the gold standard.

Study of CX-5461 in Patients With Solid Tumours and BRCA1/2, PALB2 or Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) Mutation
Recruiting
This is an open-label, multi-center, phase 1b study designed to determine a tolerable dose of CX-5461 administered by IV infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of a 28-day cycle in patients with selected solid tumours and associated mutations for future Phase II trials. The safety and tolerability of CX-5461, preliminary evidence of antitumor effect and the effect of CX-5461 on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) will also be evaluated. The study will also evaluate the predictive value of mutational... Read More

Comparison of the Q-NRG+ Indirect Calorimetry Device Versus the V(Max) Encore Device in Mechanically Ventilated Children
Recruiting
The overarching aim of this proposal is to examine the feasibility of the Q-NRG+ indirect calorimetry device and its agreement with (Vmax) Encore indirect calorimetry device in mechanically ventilated children. The overall hypothesis of this study is that the Q-NRG+ will provide minute-to-minute oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (CO2) measurements that are in agreement with those obtained by the standard indirect calorimetry device currently used at our institution (Vmax Enc...
