Phase 1/2: CD45RA Depleted Stem Cell Addback to Prevent Viral or Fungal Infections Post TCRab/CD19 Depleted HSCT
Recruiting
The major morbidities of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using donors that are not human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched siblings are graft vs host disease (GVHD) and life- threatening infections. T cell receptor alpha beta (TCRαβ) T lymphocyte depletion and CD19+ B lymphocyte depletion of alternative donor hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) grafts is effective in preventing GVHD, but immune reconstitution may be delayed, increasing the risk of infections. The central hypothesis... Read More

Early Intervention for Youth At High Risk for Bipolar Disorder
Recruiting
Investigators will conduct a confirmatory efficacy trial of Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) delivered via telehealth for offspring of bipolar parents (OBP; age 12-18, n=120) at elevated risk for BP onset via risk calculator score. All participants receive a baseline clinical assessment of psychiatric symptoms and sleep disturbance (via objective and subjective methods), followed by a feedback session. Youth are then randomized to receive 8 sessions of IPSRT or a manualized Health... Read More

Evaluating Length of Treatment With PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Advanced Solid Tumors
Recruiting
Based on the overwhelming positive response to this survey and the large number of patients being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in the UPMC system, the investigators are proposing a trial that will randomize patients who have disease stability to stop treatment at 1 year or continue treatment until disease progression. The investigators anticipate that the results of this study will answer questions regarding the optimal duration of treatment. therapy.

Autonomic Control of the Circulation and VDR
Recruiting
The study objective of this project is to examine the mechanisms of the venous distension reflex (VDR) in humans. We hypothesize that COX blockade with ketorolac tromethamine, an intravenous NSAID, will attenuate the muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) response to limb venous distension. To gain further insight into whether the COX byproducts directly stimulate chemically-sensitive afferents, or enable venodilation and indirectly evoke afferent stimulation, we will measure vein size using 3...

Exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy is an efficacious treatment for speech anxiety and has been delivered effectively in a virtual reality (VR) environment. The present multicenter study (conducted through the Exposure Therapy Consortium) is designed to evaluate whether trait versus state positive affectivity is a more effective predictor of exposure therapy outcomes. Further, the investigators will examine whether the predictive significance of trait positive affectivity can be accounted... Read More
