Evaluation of Stool Based Markers for the Early Detection of Colorectal Cancers and Adenomas
Recruiting
Colon cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women. It is a disease that can be prevented if it is found early. Colonoscopy is still the best screening tool for colon cancer and the polyps that turn into colon cancer. However, due to a variety of factors, including affordability, time, and age, not all patients are able to be screened. Researchers are working on other options for early detection that are as accurate as colonoscopy. The purpose of this study if to determine if stool... Read More

Perioperative Anticoagulant Use for Surgery Evaluation -2 (PAUSE-2) Study Patients Receiving a Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOACs-Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, Apixaban or Edoxaban) and Needing Elective High-Bleed-Risk Surgery or an Invasive Procedure
Recruiting
PAUSE 2 study is a prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint non-inferiority RCT of PAUSE vs. ASRA management in DOAC treated high risk patients with AF/VTE who need elective high bleed risk surgery/procedure and/or any procedure involving neuraxial anesthesia. The purpose of the PAUSE 2 study is to show that PAUSE management will be as safe (i.e., non-inferior) as ASRA management, with 95% of patients having low/undetectable pre-operative DOAC levels \<30 ng/mL in each group., at the time of su...

Efficacy and Safety of VDPHL01 in Males With AGA
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VDPHL01 in male subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). AGA (or male pattern baldness) is a genetic disorder caused by an excessive (too much) hair follicle response to androgens (hormone) that causes hair loss. VDPHL01 8.5 mg Tablet is an investigational oral drug to treat male pattern baldness. This multi-center, double blind, study will last about 13 months and includes 11 study visits (screening, baseline (day 1), week 2, month 1, mont... Read More

Project Talk Trial: Engaging Underserved Communities in End-of-life Conversations
Recruiting
Compared to the general population, individuals from underserved communities are more likely to receive low quality end-of-life care and unwanted, costly and burdensome treatments due in part to a lack of advance care planning (ACP; the process of discussing wishes for end-of-life care with loved ones/clinicians and documenting them in advance directives). This study will use existing, trusted, and respected social networks to evaluate two conversation-based tools intended to engage underserved... Read More
