Imaging Retinal Vasculature in Infant Eyes
NCT05558059
Recruiting
Retinopathy of prematurity is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide. The fovea, a critical location in the retina determining visual acuity and visual function, and the blood vessels around it, are abnormally developed in infants with retinopathy of prematurity. However, how these blood vessels form during development of the human fovea remains unclear. This research will advance our understanding of the fundamental knowledge of how the blood vessels around the fovea form in infants,... Read More

TumorGlow Intraoperative Molecular Imaging (IMI)
NCT04723810
Recruiting
This is a Phase 1/2 study in patients presenting with any solid tumor and/or diseased tissue even benign nodules presumed to be resectable and at risk for recurrence on pre-operative assessment who are considered to be good surgical candidates to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the image-guided surgery using indocyanine green for intramolecular imaging of solid tumors.

Low-Dose Radiotherapy in Treating Painful Bone Metastases in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
NCT03858205
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well low-dose radiotherapy works in treating bone pain in patients with multiple myeloma that has spread to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, protons, or other sources to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Low-dose radiotherapy may be more convenient for patients and their families, may not interfere as much with the timing of chemotherapy, and may have less chance for short term or long-term side effects from the radiatio...

Dietary Interventions in Cancer Patients Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
NCT06475807
Recruiting
This pilot trial will study the potential impact of two distinct dietary interventions with sequential use of high-fermented foods and high-fiber supplements on the gut microbiome and antitumor immunity in patients with melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The trial aims to understand how dietary changes affect the composition and function of the gut microbiome, together with immunological and metabolomic markers in serum in patients with mel...

Linking Brain Network Dynamics to Imminent Smoking Lapse Risk and Behavior
NCT05572671
Recruiting
Most attempts to quit smoking end in relapse, or a return to regular smoking. One of the biggest threats to cessation is a lapse (i.e., any cigarette use during a quit attempt). Thus, characterizing why lapses occur is essential to understanding and preventing smoking relapse. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a promising method for characterizing the psychological processes that lead to smoking lapses because it provides a way to measures patterns of brain activity thought to refl...

NMES for Achilles Tendon Rupture
NCT04727047
Recruiting
The majority of patients suffering an Achilles tendon rupture develop long term functional deficits in the affected leg. The goal of the proposed study is to evaluate a new rehabilitation protocol using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) for reducing muscle atrophy and improving tendon properties. If proven beneficial, the proposed protocol can be easily adopted and incorporated as part of routine care for Achilles tendon rupture.

Local Bisphosphonate Effect on Recurrence Rate in Extremity Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
NCT03295981
Recruiting
The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of the tumor returning compared to traditional aggressive surgical removal of the tumor.
