Combining a Smartphone App With Medications to Manage Heavy Drinking
Recruiting
One in 10 Veterans have an alcohol use disorder. However, few Veterans receive evidenced-based psychosocial interventions or medications to treat alcohol use disorder. Barriers to receiving these treatments include long wait times, stigma, and long distances from treatment facilities. Even fewer Veterans receive psychosocial and medication interventions together, despite clinical practice guidelines recommending both and evidence of better outcomes. Expanding access to these treatments in primar... Read More

Impacts of Nicotinamide Riboside on Functional Capacity and Muscle Physiology in Older Veterans
Recruiting
Frailty is an age-associated clinical condition of poor physiological reserve that increases risks for falls, hospitalization and mortality. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a critical co-factor needed for many cellular processes. The natural levels of NAD decline aging and this has been linked to physical performance decline in animals. Human trials have demonstrated that nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, is safe and effectively increases NAD+ levels. In animal studies... Read More

Naltrexone Neuroimaging in Teens with Eating Disorders
Recruiting
Using a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study, this study will evaluate functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a pharmacodynamic biomarker of opioid antagonism in adolescents with eating disorders. The hypothesis is that fMRI will be able to detect acute reward pathway modulation by naltrexone (an opioid antagonist) in pre-defined regions of interest (anterior cingulate cortex, nucleus accumbens, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex).

Shorter Chemo-Immunotherapy Without Anthracycline Drugs for Early-Stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares the effects of shorter chemotherapy (chemo)-immunotherapy without anthracyclines to usual chemo-immunotherapy for the treatment of early-stage triple negative breast cancer. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called anti-microtubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be bette... Read More
