Novel Respiratory Training as Part of Palliative Care for Older Adults With Heart Failure
NCT06576297
Recruiting
In a randomized controlled trial, to study the utility of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to improve functional outcomes in adults aged ≥70 years with heart failure (HF) who have been referred to palliative care for end-stage HF management. * The study team hypothesize that older HF patients will be able to use IMT safely, reliably, and effectively in a 12-week home-based training regimen. * The study team hypothesize that physical function (sit to stand, gait speed, grip strength), respirato...

Safe and Fast Radial Hemostasis Using Synergistic Strategies: SAFE & FAST Trial
NCT06549842
Recruiting
The Safe and Fast Radial Hemostasis using Synergistic Strategies (SAFE \& FAST) trial is an interventional study aimed at reducing the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) rebound bleeding, and the required compression time after transradial approach (TRA) procedures, which have become the default access for coronary procedures globally. The hypothesis is that combining lower-dose heparin and radial hemostasis with simultaneous ipsilateral ulnar artery compression could achieve these i... Read More

Phase I Pilot Study of Biodistribution, Metabolism and Excretion of Novel Radiotracer [18F]Fluorthanatrace (FTT) by PET/CT
NCT02637934
Recruiting
Up to 40 evaluable women with known or suspected epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer will participate in two different imaging cohorts. The Biodistribution cohort will include up to 4 patients and the Dynamic cohort will include up to 36 patients. Human dosimetry will be calculated from the Biodistribution cohort. The Dynamic cohort date will evaluate preliminary information on uptake of \[18F\]FTT in gynecological cancer and compare with PARP-1 activity in tissue.

High-Risk Veteran Initiative
NCT05050643

Veterans at high-risk for hospitalization, including those with complex care needs, represent a large population of VHA patients who often do not receive evidence-based primary care practices that would help them avoid the hospital and improve their health. The high-RIsk VETerans (RIVET) Program will implement evidence-based practices that can support VHA Primary Care teams to deliver more comprehensive and patient-centered care, better strategies to manage medications, and avoid unnecessary hos...

Phase I Study in Advanced Malignancies With 5-ALA
NCT04381806
Recruiting
RDT aims to take advantage of the relatively safer toxicity profiles of both lower dose radiation therapy and systemic ALA to treat non-superficial lesions in a manner similar to photodynamic therapy. The doses of radiation administered in this study will be lower than those typically used to treat cancer. However, with administration of ALA, which has been shown to be selectively concentrated in neoplastic cells, it is reasonable to expect responses in the target lesion(s) with relative sparing...
