VZV in the Enteric Nervous System: Pathogenesis and Consequences
Recruiting
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the cause of chickenpox and shingles, but it also infects, becomes latent, and reactivates in nerve cells of the bowel to cause a gastrointestinal disorder ("enteric shingles"). The Investigators recently found that a chronic active VZV infection, a form of enteric shingles, is associated with achalasia, a severe disease in which the passage of food from esophagus to stomach is impaired. We now propose to eradicate VZV to determine whether its association with ach... Read More

Study of GS-9911 With or Without Antibody Treatment for Adults With Solid Tumors
Recruiting
The main goal of this first in human (FIH) study is to learn about the safety and dosing of GS-9911 when given alone or in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of this study are to: * Assess the safety and tolerability of GS-9911 as monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in participants with advanced solid tumors * Identify the maximum tolerated dose (...

GLP-1Ra Impact on Metabolic Outcomes in Stage 2 T1DM While Receiving Teplizumab
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to determine how a drug class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) affects people during an early stage of Type 1 Diabetes undergoing clinical teplizumab treatment. This study involves giving participants a liquid meal under different conditions and observing how their bodies respond, focusing on blood sugar levels, insulin effectiveness, and blood vessel function. The meal tests are followed by two post-treatment tests, one with the GLP-1Ra drug a... Read More

Study of OP-3136 in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Recruiting
This is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of OP-3136, a lysine acetyltransferases 6A and 6B (KAT6A/B) inhibitor, in participants with advanced solid tumors. This study consists of 2 parts: a dose escalation part (Part 1) and dose expansion part (Part 2).

Network-Targeted Neuromodulation for Nicotine Dependence in Schizophrenia
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two active types of transcranial magnetic stimulation in two nicotine-using populations: nicotine-using people with psychosis and nicotine-using people without a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can rTMS change functional connectivity in brain circuits associated with nicotine use? 2. Are those rTMS-induced changes in functional connectivity related to craving? Participants will complete tasks assessin... Read More

Point-of-Care Ophthalmic Diagnostic Imaging of Retinopathy of Prematurity
Recruiting
The goal of this proposal is to develop novel HH-SECTR technology for visualizing and quantifying diagnostic disease features in prematurely born infant retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) patients that lead to more informed clinical decision making. Providing depth-resolved vascular information has not been adequately investigated for its diagnostic potential. Furthermore, we seek to identify disease features not currently accessible by standard examination methods to better inform clinical decisi... Read More

Evaluating rhPDGF-BB-Enhanced Wound Matrix for Head and Neck Reconstruction
Recruiting
Skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma lesions that develop on the head and neck are treated by Mohs surgery or wide local excision to remove all tumor cells and preserve the normal tissue. These surgical techniques may result in large wounds requiring reconstructive surgery to restore function and aesthetics. Older, frail patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from these invasive procedures often leaving them to care for chron... Read More

Metabolic Effects of Angiotensin-(1-7)
Recruiting
The overall purpose of this study is to learn more about the metabolic effects of angiotensin-(1-7) in the insulin resistant state associated with obesity. Pharmacologic approaches to increase angiotensin-(1-7) levels or its actions are currently in development for treatment of metabolic-related diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes, based on findings from animal studies. It is unclear if this peptide contributes to the regulation of metabolism in humans. The investigators will test if a... Read More

Sodium Bicarbonate and Mitochondrial Energetics in Persons With CKD
Recruiting
Skeletal muscle metabolic health is critical for mobility and an underrecognized target of metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease. Impaired muscle mitochondrial metabolism underlies poor physical endurance increasing the risk of mobility disability. The proposed project will use precise in vivo tools to study the pathophysiology of poor physical endurance in a clinical trial treating metabolic acidosis among persons living with chronic kidney disease.
