BINGO: Bridging Knowledge, Increasing Awareness
Recruiting
The U.S. population is becoming more diverse, but minority groups are still significantly underrepresented in cancer clinical trials. This disparity limits our understanding of how treatments work across different populations. Efforts like the 21st Century Cures Act aim to improve inclusion, but challenges persist due to historical mistrust and complex barriers in healthcare. To address these issues, Penn State Health is using a fun and educational approach called "BINGO" to engage the African... Read More

Electronic Cigarette-derived Oxidants and Cardiopulmonary Effects
Recruiting
This is a pilot study on the impact of switching from cigarettes to Electronic Cigarettes (EC) on disease-related clinical symptoms and biomarkers of harm in smokers with preexisting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The researchers hypothesize that the smokers who switch to EC completely or significantly will experience reduced COPD symptoms, risks of exacerbations, and decreased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation.

Validation of Oxygen Nanosensor in Mitochondrial Myopathy
Recruiting
Past mitochondrial disease treatment studies have been unsuccessful in determining treatment efficacy, and a major factor has been the lack of validated biomarkers in mitochondrial myopathy (MM). There is currently a growing number of potential new treatments to be tested through MM clinical intervention trials, which has created a pressing need for quantitative biomarkers that reliably reflect MM disease severity, progression, and therapeutic response. The purpose of the study is to measure th... Read More
