Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer
NCT03816345
Recruiting
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Genetics of Insulin and Incretins in Cystic Fibrosis
NCT01852448
Recruiting
Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with worse CF-relevant outcomes. The mechanisms underlying CFRD development are not fully understood, but recent evidence suggests Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) mechanisms may be involved and may involve incretins (gut secreted hormones that augment insulin secretion in response to a nutrient load). This study will examine the prevalence of Genome wide association study (GWAS)-implicated T2DM alleles (including TCF7L2) across the spectrum... Read More

Artificial Intelligence Mapping and Ablation of Non-Pulmonary Vein Electrical Drivers of AF Study
NCT06935591
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of the Vektor Computational ECG Mapping System (vMap®) with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), to using PVI alone, to treat Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in adults. Participants will have a 50/50 or 1 out of 2 chance of being placed in the treatment or control arm. The control arm of the study involves PVI alone for ablation procedure(s). The treatment arm involves the use of vMap mapping in addition to PVI to plan ablation procedure(s).

Individualized Treatment Plan in Children and Young Adults With Relapsed Medulloblastoma and Ependymoma
NCT05057702
Recruiting
The current study will use a new treatment approach based on the molecular characteristics of each participant's tumor. The study will test the feasibility in the pilot phase of performing real-time drug screening on tissue taken during surgery in patients with relapsed medulloblastoma or ependymoma and of having a specialized tumor board assign a treatment plan based on the results of this screening and genomic sequencing. The aim of this trial is to allow every child and young adult with relap... Read More

Open-label Study of Cenobamate Monotherapy in Adult Subjects With Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Partial-Onset Epilepsy
NCT06453213
Recruiting
Cenobamate (YKP3089) is a small molecule approved in the United States (US), Europe and several other countries around the world for the treatment of Partial-Onset (focal) seizures in adult subjects (≥18 years of age). In the US it is approved for use as monotherapy, however, there is little clinical data assessing its use as monotherapy in adults with POS. This study is designed to explore the effectiveness of doses of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day as monotherapy in adult subjects with newly diagno... Read More

Efficacy and Safety of Phentermine/Topiramate in Youth With Hypothalamic Obesity
NCT06299891
Recruiting
Hypothalamic obesity (HO) refers to the substantial weight gain that often complicates hypothalamic brain tumors. Children with this treatment-recalcitrant form of obesity have excess rates of metabolic sequelae compared to otherwise healthy children with similar obesity, and later experience excess mortality related to cardiometabolic disease. In this pilot trial, our objective is to gather key preliminary data about phentermine/topiramate (Ph/T) that is FDA-approved for "common" obesity but ha... Read More

Transpyloric Versus Gastric Feeding in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
NCT06534359
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transpyloric tube feeding (feeding directly into the small intestine) versus gastric tube feeding tolerably and effectively reduces gastroesophageal reflux in infants born premature who have been diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: Does transpyloric as compared to gastric tube feeding result in differences in the amount of experienced hypoxemia (low oxygen level in the blood) or serious adver...
