New York Paid Clinical Trials

This phase II trial investigates how well modified VR-CAP (bortezomib, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, prednisone, and cytarabine hydrochloride) and acalabrutinib as first line therapy work in treating transplant-eligible patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Modified VR-CAP is a combination of drugs used as standard first line treatment for mantle cell lymphoma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and cytarabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds and depletes malignant B cells, by inducing immune responses and direct toxicity. Acalabrutinib blocks a key enzyme which is needed for malignant cell growth in mantle cell lymphoma. Combining modified VR-CAP and acalabrutinib as first line therapy may be more useful against mantle cell lymphoma compared to the usual treatment. Read Less

Background / Purpose: There is an ongoing debate regarding the ability of physical therapists to manually sense intervertebral motion. Physical therapists use intervertebral hypomobility as a clinical indicator for spinal manipulation. Also in question is the mechanism of improvement observed after spinal manipulation. Some argue that the improvement is purely neurophysiologic and unrelated to changes in intervertebral motion. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of a physical therapist's manual assessment of lumbar intervertebral motion compared to ultrasound imaging and the effect of lumbar manipulation on intervertebral motion, pain, and disability, Methods: Subjects will complete a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPR),Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and a Central Sensitization Inventory before arriving for the study via Qualtrics survey tool. They will be screened for contraindications to manipulation and neurological signs and symptoms. Active forward bending will be quantified by measuring the distance of the subject's fingertips to the floor. Two experienced physical therapists will evaluate the subject's lumbar intervertebral mobility. They will identify the lumbar segment with the least motion or hypomobility. The subjects will be imaged from L1 to S1 with a 5 MHz curvilinear transducer (Edge II MSK ultrasound unit, SonoSite, Inc, Bothell, WA) in the sidlying position with their trunk and hips flexed to end-range. The examiner will save the sagittal image and then place a digital caliper to measure the distance between the spinous processes from the peak of the hyperechoic curvature of the caudal spinous process to the peak of the hyperechoic curvature of the cranial spinous process of each lumbar segment (L5-S1, L4-L5, L3-L2,L2-L1). Subjects will then be randomized to receive a high-velocity low amplitude thrust manipulation or a sham manipulation. The lumbar spine will be reimaged. The ultrasound examiner will be blinded to the manipulation and the caliper measurements. Finally, subjects will be asked for their Global Rating of Change (GROC) and to actively bend forward to remeasure the distance of their fingertips to the floor. One week later, patients will receive an e-mail containing links to repeat the NPR, GROC, and ODI. Read Less

Prospective observational cohort study; pediatric sepsis vs. healthy pediatric subjects and pediatric sepsis with acute kidney injury (AKI) vs without AKI. Blood samples and renal ultrasound will be collected on sequential days for septic subject and one time for the healthy patients. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) with be run on serum plasma to compare the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) between groups. Read Less

The study is an extension of two parent studies (MLN0002-3024 \[NCT04779307\] and MLN0002-3025 \[NCT04779320\]). Participants must have participated in one of the previous studies. The purpose of this study is to collect the long-term safety of vedolizumab in children with UC or CD. Read Less

Compassion meditation (CM) is a contemplative practice that builds compassion for and connectedness with others. CM has shown promise as a way of enhancing recovery for Veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The proposed project will examine the feasibility of a clinical trial by assessing our ability to deliver CM and a control intervention consistently with a diverse groups of Veterans from different parts of the country and optimizing the way in which outcomes are determined.

The purpose of this study is to see whether Isatuximab can help improve kidney function of participants with MGRS. Isatuximab is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma, but it is not approved by the FDA to treat MGRS. This means that the use of isatuximab in this study is considered 'investigational'. Read Less
