Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) Registry
NCT00144794
Recruiting
The Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) Registry is an ongoing, observational database that tracks the outcomes of patients with MPS I. The data collected by the MPS I Registry will provide information to better characterize the natural history and progression of MPS I as well as the clinical responses of patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy, such as Aldurazyme (Recombinant Human Alpha-L-Iduronidase), or other treatment modalities. The objectives of the Registry are: * To evaluate the lon... Read More

Open vs. Blind Weighing Study In Adolescents and Young Adult With Eating Disorders
NCT06085092
Recruiting
Current treatments for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with eating disorders (EDs) do not effectively address a central ED symptom - anxiety about weight gain - which contributes to poor outcomes. The proposed study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and underlying mechanisms of an enhanced version of "open weighing," a cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to target anxiety about weight gain in AYAs with EDs. Understanding how to better treat AYAs with EDs, and identif... Read More

Neoadjuvant Neratinib in Stage I-III HER2-Mutated Lobular Breast Cancers
NCT05919108
Recruiting
This phase II trial tests how well neratinib prior to the primary treatment (neoadjuvant) works in treating patients with stage I-III HER2 mutated lobular breast cancers. Neratinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving neratinib in addition to normal therapy may work better in treating cancer than the endocrine therapy patients... Read More

Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events of Ab Externo Approach for Glaucoma Gel Stent (XEN45) Implantation In Participants Aged 45 Years or Older With Open-Angle Glaucoma
NCT05411198
Recruiting
Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the world, second only to cataracts. This study will assess how safe and effective a glaucoma gel stent is when implanted using the ab externo approach. Adverse events and intraocular pressure will be assessed. XEN45 is an approved device for the treatment of glaucoma implanted using the ab interno approach (inside the eye). XEN45 implanted using the ab externo approach (outside the eye) is being studied in this study. Approximately 65 pa... Read More

Whole Exome Sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing for Nonimmune Fetal/Neonatal Hydrops
NCT03911531
Recruiting
Brief Summary: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a potentially fatal condition characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in two or more fetal compartments. Numerous etiologies may lead to NIHF, and the underlying cause often remains unclear (1). The current standard of genetic diagnostic testing includes a fetal karyotype and chromosomal microarray (CMA), with an option to pursue single gene testing on amniocytes collected by amniocentesis (2). A large subgroup of the NIHF causes includes s... Read More

Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 3 (ADNI3)
NCT02854033
Recruiting
Since its launch in 2004, the overarching aim of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) has been realized in informing the design of therapeutic trials in AD. ADNI3 continues the previously funded ADNI-1, ADNI-GO, and ADNI-2 studies that have been combined public/private collaborations between academia and industry to determine the relationships between the clinical, cognitive, imaging, genetic and biochemical biomarker characteristics of the entire spectrum of Alzheimer's diseas...

Utilizing Electronic Clinical Decision Support to Enhance mTBI Care at the Primary Care Point of Entry
NCT06693778
Recruiting
Six primary care practices within a large Philadelphia pediatric care network will use an electronic Clinical Decision Support (eCDS) tool as standard care for concussion evaluation. The eCDS tool will include a prediction rule for children aged 5-18 assessed for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The eCDS tool predicts risk for persistent symptoms and prompts referral to specialty care for those deemed high risk. This research proposes to analyze the clinical and process outcomes in these six... Read More

Understanding Patient Preference on Colorectal Cancer Screening Options-PSU
NCT06444542
Recruiting
There are significant barriers to colorectal cancer screening within underserved populations due to the cost, accessibility, and acceptability of screening methods. Patient-friendly approaches that minimize stress and discomfort for the patient are needed to enhance screening compliance and achieve an early diagnosis. The primary aim of this study is to examine whether the availability of a blood-based screening option, which can be done at the point of service and is familiar to patients, will... Read More
