Stool Transplants to Treat Refractory Clostridium Difficile Colitis
NCT02127398
Recruiting
It has been shown that restoration of the normal makeup of the bowel bacterial population is the most effective way to treat recurrent colitis due to Clostridium difficile. Restoration of the normal bowel bacterial population is best done by transplanting stool from a healthy donor. The investigators wish to transplant stool from healthy donors to treat recurrent C. difficile colitis by incorporating the stool into capsules that are administered by the oral route.

ACT for Infertility: Case Series
NCT06388044

In the United States, around 19% of reproductive-aged couples suffer from infertility. The psychological distress associated with infertility is well-established; those diagnosed commonly experience depression and anxiety symptoms, diminished quality of life, and relationship dissatisfaction. In the current study, the investigators report on a case series, in which up to 10 infertility patients will receive 12 sessions of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The overarching goal for the curr... Read More

A Study of APG-115 in as a Monotherapy or Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Metastatic Melanomas or Advanced Solid Tumors
NCT03611868
Recruiting
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of APG-115, an MDM2 inhibitor, either alone or in combination with pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor, in patients with metastatic melanomas or advanced solid tumors. Our hypothesis is that restoration of the immune response concomitant to inhibition of the MDM2 pathway (which restores p53 functions) may promote cancer cell death, leading to effective anticancer therapy.

Using Ultrasound Elastography to Predict Development of Hepatic Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome
NCT03865589
Recruiting
To perform an receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, define a threshold and quantify the sensitivity and specificity of US SWE for risk stratification of patients into three categories as defined by the European Bone Marrow Transplant (EBMT) adult and pediatric criteria: no sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), mild to moderate SOS, and severe to very severe SOS. Secondarily, the investigators would also like to quantify the temporal relationship between US SWE changes and SOS diagno... Read More

Evaluating Treatments for Suicidal Veterans With PTSD
NCT05974631
Recruiting
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant driver of suicide risk among Veterans, but there is a critical knowledge gap about how to treat PTSD among people at elevated risk for suicide. Although evidence-based treatments for PTSD reduce suicide risk, Veterans at high risk for suicidal behavior rarely receive these potentially life-saving treatments. Prior research suggests that a treatment that combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with the DBT Prolonged Exposure protocol (DBT... Read More
