Skills Group for Youth At Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis
NCT05398120
Recruiting
This study is intended to test the feasibility of an integrated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills group for adolescents and young adults at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis. The current study applies a skills group drawing from evidence-based practices (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)) to those at CHR for psychosis. Up to 30 CHR individuals (starting with a minimum of 3 participants, N accounts... Read More

Cardiac Sarcoidosis Randomized Trial
NCT03593759
Recruiting
Prospective randomized controlled trial comparing low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination to standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone) in patients diagnosed with acute active clinically manifest cardiac sarcoidosis and not yet treated. The Investigators hypothesize that low dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone)/Methotrexate combination will be as effective as standard dose Prednisone(or Prednisolone), and result in significantly better quality of life and less toxicity than sta...

Topical Ruxolitinib 1.5% for Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment
NCT04414514
Recruiting
Investigators hypothesize that ruxolitinib 1.5% cream is an effective therapy for HS participants through inhibition of inflammatory activity. Investigators aim to: * Demonstrate the clinical efficacy of ruxolitinib 1.5% cream in decreasing the clinical disease activity after 16 weeks of treatment. * Investigate the impact of ruxolitinib 1.5% cream on skin inflammation through translational analyses of skin biopsy samples.

Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) With N-acetylcysteine
NCT00775476
Recruiting
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease which often has debilitating and potentially life-threatening consequences. The cause of SLE is unknown and current therapies lack specificity and carry significant side-effects. We previously discovered the depletion of glutathione in lymphocytes of patients with SLE and associated this metabolic change with the elevation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. This study will titrate to tolerance during an initial 3 mo... Read More

Patient Perceived Empathy of an AI Chatbot for Atrial Fibrillation Education
NCT06684457
Recruiting
Atrial Fibrillation is a chronic disease with significant health consequences like increased risk of stroke, heart failure, heart attack and death. Educating patients about the disease is important for them to be able to understand the condition better, feel empowered and take an active part in their care plan. AI technology can potentially be used to impart such education. However, doing so with care and empathy is equally important. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure when AI technology is u... Read More

Integrating Brain, Neurocognitive, and Computational Tools in OUD
NCT06136247
Recruiting
The 5-year K01 Mentored Research Scientist proposal will employ brain, neurocognitive, and computational tools (e.g., machine learning) to understand the impact of opioid-use disorder (OUD) and common co-occurring issues on executive function and clinical outcomes. There have been record numbers of fatal and non-fatal overdoses (ODs) associated with opioids (and other drugs) in the past 12-months. Improving classification and predictive capabilities to enhance treatment and prevent relapse is of... Read More

Determinants of Incident Stroke Cognitive Outcomes and Vascular Effects on RecoverY
NCT04916210
Recruiting
The overall goal of the DISCOVERY study is to better understand what factors contribute to changes in cognitive (i.e., thinking and memory) abilities in patients who experienced a stroke. The purpose of the study is to help doctors identify patients at risk for dementia (decline in memory, thinking and other mental abilities that significantly affects daily functioning) after their stroke so that future treatments may be developed to improve outcomes in stroke patients. For this study, a "stroke... Read More

Melanoma Margins Trial-II: 1cm v 2cm Wide Surgical Excision Margins for AJCC Stage II Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
NCT03860883
Recruiting
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of... Read More
