A Study of CHeckpoint Inhibitors in Men With prOgressive Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer Characterized by a Mismatch Repair Deficiency or Biallelic CDK12 Inactivation
NCT04104893
Recruiting
The primary objective is to assess the activity and efficacy of pembrolizumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, in Veterans with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) characterized by either mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) or biallelic inactivation of CDK12 (CDK12-/-). The secondary objectives involve determining the frequency with which dMMR and CDK12-/- occur in this patient population, as well as the effects of pembrolizumab on various clinical endpoints (time to PSA progression, m...

HIP: Hip Imaging Protocol
NCT04126161
Recruiting
Objective measures of skeletal muscle features have previously been used to assess skeletal muscle quality. In certain clinical populations, such as intensive care (ICU) patients, specific features of the psoas muscle measured by abdominal CT have been used to assess the nutritional status of the patient. Abdominal CT is not performed routinely as it exposes the patient to ionizing radiation (X-rays) and can only be performed intermittently. The measurement of the thigh muscles (rectus femoris...

Connectomic Guided DBS for Parkinson's Disease
NCT06618157
Recruiting
The objective of this research is to use advanced connectomic imaging models to identify disease-relevant axonal pathway targets for better tremor control in Parkinson's disease patients while avoiding undesirable side effects, with the goal of increasing precision and facilitating the choice of optimal DBS parameters for certain disease phenotypes. The investigators hypothesize that patient centered subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation of cerebellothalamic axonal pathways and pallidothala... Read More

Splanchnic X: Splanchnic Nerve Block in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
NCT06733012
Recruiting
Heart failure (HF) affects more than 6 million adults in the U.S. alone, with increasing prevalence. Cardiovascular congestion with resultant limitation in physical activity is the hallmark of chronic and decompensated HF. The current HF physiologic model suggests that congestion is the result of volume retention and, therefore, therapies (such as diuretics) have generally been targeted at volume overload. Yet therapeutic approaches to reduce congestion have failed to show significant benefit on... Read More

Nutrition OUtReach In Systems of Healthcare
NCT06802406
Recruiting
Many children and adults receiving medical treatments have higher costs, which can make it harder for them to afford groceries. When someone can't afford enough food, and they do not receive proper nutrition it can make treatment more difficult. By doing this study investigators hope to learn more about whether addressing food insecurity by giving patients bags of food in clinic can help improve nutrition, reduce costs, and improve transplant and cellular therapy outcomes.
