Providence, RI Paid Clinical Trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine 3 interventions designed to increase physical activity in older adults with HIV. We will examine 3 potential components of an intervention package: physical activity coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy targeted toward common barriers to physical activity such as low motivation or chronic pain, and a Fitbit-based social support intervention. Our primary outcome will be physical activity, defined as steps per day. Results will guide choice of intervention components to be used in an optimized behavioral intervention. Read Less

The Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) is a non-randomized, natural history, non-treatment study designed to look at disease progression in individuals with early onset cognitive impairment. Clinical, cognitive, imaging, biomarker, and genetic characteristics will be assessed across three cohorts: (1) early onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) participants, (2) early onset non-Alzheimer's Disease (EOnonAD) participants, and (3) cognitively normal (CN) control participants.

The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with adalimumab or vedolizumab (VDZ) together with ustekinumab (UST) in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, and the effect of treatment with vedolizumab alone, after the dual targeted treatment. The study is conducted in two parts. In Part A, participants will receive the dual targeted treatment (vedolizumab together with either adalimumab or ustekinumab). In part B, participants will receive vedolizumab only. Part B will include participants who responded to the treatment in Part A. Each participant will be followed up for at least 26 weeks after the last dose of treatment. Read Less

This phase III trial tests two hypotheses in patients with low-risk and average-risk medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the back of the brain. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Subjects with low-risk medulloblastoma typically have a lower chance of the cancer coming back than subjects with average-risk medulloblastoma. Although treatment for newly diagnosed average-risk and low-risk medulloblastoma is generally effective at treating the cancer, there are still concerns about the side effects of such treatment. Side effects or unintended health conditions that arise due to treatment include learning difficulties, hearing loss or other issues in performing daily activities. Standard therapy for newly diagnosed average-risk or low-risk medulloblastoma includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy (including cisplatin). Cisplatin may cause hearing loss as a side effect. In the average-risk medulloblastoma patients, this trial tests whether the addition of sodium thiosulfate (STS) to standard of care chemotherapy and radiation therapy reduces hearing loss. Previous studies with STS have shown that it may help reduce or prevent hearing loss caused by cisplatin. In the low-risk medulloblastoma patients, the study tests whether a less intense therapy (reduced radiation) can provide the same benefits as the more intense therapy. The less intense therapy may cause fewer side effects. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. The overall goals of this study are to see if giving STS along with standard treatment (radiation therapy and chemotherapy) will reduce hearing loss in medulloblastoma patients and to compare the overall outcome of patients with medulloblastoma treated with STS to patients treated without STS on a previous study in order to make sure that survival and recurrence of tumor is not worsened.

Effective respiratory ventilation is achieved by moving the right amount of air in and out of the lungs while keeping the pressures at a safe level. A disposable safety device, Adult Sotair®, was created to improve manual ventilation delivery. In this non-inferiority study, we will perform a pre-post study design (single group, within-group comparison) to test the non-inferiority of the Adult Sotair® device compared to mechanical ventilation.

This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and the preliminary efficacy of JANX007 in adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Read Less

This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), within-subject, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled in non-treatment-seeking individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) (N=40, 50% female) randomized to IN insulin or placebo. In a bar laboratory setting, randomized participants will receive a single dose of IN insulin (80IU) or an IN matched placebo (0.9% Saline). Participants will undergo a cue-reactivity paradigm followed by an alcohol challenge that includes an alcohol drink designed to raise the breath alcohol content (BrAC) to 0.08g/dL. Read Less

The goal of this single-arm feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week mindful self-compassion intervention and associated data-collection plan among transgender and nonbinary young adults. Participants will be asked to: * Complete weekly 2.5-hour virtual classes for 8 weeks and a 4-hour virtual retreat * Practice specific activities in between classes for 20-30 minutes a day * Answer survey questions before starting the intervention, half-way through the intervention, after the intervention, and 3-months after the intervention ends.

The purpose of this clinical study is to collect performance and safety data for post-market Medtronic devices indicated for cranial and/or spinal indication(s). Subjects are enrolled and followed postoperatively to 24 months. The Ailliance clinical study is intended to collect data congruous with routine clinical care practices. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to measure the benefit of adding abemaciclib to the chemotherapy, temozolomide, for newly diagnosed high-grade glioma following radiotherapy. Your participation could last approximately 11 months and possibly longer depending upon how you and your tumor respond. Read Less

This trial will be a randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of intraoperative radiation therapy using GammaTilesTM (GT) versus SRT 3-4 weeks following metastatic tumor resection which is the current standard of care. Read Less
