Fluorescent Intra-operative Tumor Margin Examination
NCT04719156
Recruiting
Tumor margin confirmation is important to confirming appropriate disease excision. Current standard of care is to take select margin samples to pathology for intra-operative readings. However, this is expensive, time consuming, and only assesses the margin contained within the specific sample. In prior work the investigators have determined that indocyanine green (ICG) is highly specific to the tumor bed when injected shortly before surgery. The investigators hypothesize that ICG will be able to... Read More

This is a prospective observational cohort study designed to collect data on patients who received REBYOTA™ for the prevention of rCDI in the routine care setting. As all data collected for this study are observational, the decision to prescribe REBYOTA™ is at the treating physician's discretion and independent from the decision to enroll the patient in the study. Data will be collected from patients' medical records after obtaining informed consent. Data about clinical history, CDI events (prim... Read More

OurSleepKit to Support CPAP Adherence
NCT06621511
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a couple-focused mobile health intervention will improve the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the primary treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Participants include newly diagnosed patients with OSA who are candidates for CPAP treatment and their partners. The couples will received supportive information and resources on their mobile devices before CPAP begins and continuing for 6 months into CPAP treatment. Their int... Read More

Connective Tissue Matrix Compared to Steroid Injections for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
NCT06712290
Recruiting
The goal of the study is to see which is better at treating patients which rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT): a single injection of Connective Tissue Matrix boost (CTM) or a steroid shot. Patients will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to the treatment. Patients and researchers will be blinded (not know) what group the patients are in. Patients will come back to the study clinic at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the shot to answer questionnaires, have a physical exam, and complete physi... Read More

Detecting Change in Muscle Parameters, Pain, and Function with NMES for TTA
NCT06830876
Recruiting
The proposal aims to investigate a non-invasive, cost-effective method for rebuilding muscle mass in individuals with transtibial limb loss. Maintaining a healthy, pain-free residual limb is a primary concern for prosthesis users. Amputees commonly experience muscle deficits leading to mobility issues, poor prosthetic fit, and chronic pain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a potential intervention that activates muscles with low-level electrical stimulation, improving strength, fu... Read More

CBL0137 for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma
NCT04870944
Recruiting
This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill cancer cells.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs... Read More

A Study About How Blood Cell Growth Patterns Relate to Heart Health After Treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma
NCT05705531
Recruiting
This study assesses how blood cell growth patterns (clonal hematopoiesis), relates to heart health or cardiovascular disease (CVD) after treatment in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. In some patients, cancer treatment at a young age may lead to later complications, including problems with heart health. Checking for blood cell growth patterns called therapy-related clonal hematopoiesis (t-CH) can help predict who might be at risk for heart health problems after Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. If docto... Read More
