The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a mobile telerehabilitation software for post-acute stroke care for Rio Grande Valley (RGV) stroke survivors with community health worker (CHW) at-home support and to estimate the functional health, mental health (depression), and caregiver burden outcomes of this new CHW-supported, at-home rehabilitation service delivery model and to identify salient barriers to and facilitators of adopting and delivering the new rehabilitation delivery model to further disseminate the model in real-world communities.

Patients may be considered if the cancer has come back, has not gone away after standard treatment or the patient cannot receive standard treatment. This research study uses special immune system cells called AGAR T cells, a new experimental treatment. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. Investigators have found from previous research that they can put a new gene (a tiny part of what makes-up DNA and carries your traits) into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. In the lab, investigators made several genes called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), from an antibody called GPC3. The antibody GPC3 recognizes a protein found solid tumors including pediatric liver cancers. This CAR is called GPC3-CAR. To make this CAR more effective, investigators also added a gene that includes IL15. IL15 is a protein that helps CAR T cells grow better and stay in the blood longer so that they may kill tumors better. The mixture of GPC3-CAR and IL15 killed tumor cells better in the laboratory when compared with CAR T cells that did not have IL15 .This study will test T cells that investigators made (called genetic engineering) with GPC3-CAR and the IL15 (AGAR T cells) in patients with GPC3-positive solid tumors such as yours. T cells made to carry a gene called iCasp9 can be killed when they encounter a specific drug called Rimiducid. The investigators will insert the iCasp9 and IL15 together into the T cells using a virus that has been made for this study. The drug (Rimiducid) is an experimental drug that has been tested in humans with no bad side-effects. The investigators will use this drug to kill the T cells if necessary due to side effects. This study will test T cells genetically engineered with a GPC3-CAR and IL15 (AGAR T cells) in patients with GPC3-positive solid tumors. The AGAR T cells are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this study is to find the biggest dose of AGAR T cells that is safe, to see how long they last in the body, to learn what the side effects are and to see if the AGAR T cells will help people with GPC3-positive solid tumors.

This is a multi-center, cross-sectional study to assess risk for liver fibrosis and hepatic injury in individuals with urea cycle disorders (UCDs) using serum biomarkers, Fibroscan, and MRE. This study will be conducted at 5 sites of the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium: Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, Seattle Children's Hospital in Seattle, WA, Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora, CO, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Philadelphia, PA, and Children's National Medical Center in Washington D.C.

The goal of this observational study is to determine the incidence of perioperative cerebral desaturation in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital malformations. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The perioperative factors associated with occurrence of cerebral desaturation 2. The association between perioperative cerebral desaturation, perioperative/hospital outcomes, and physiological conditions. Participants will undergo Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring for one hour before surgery, during surgery, and up to 24 hours after surgery. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out about the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of DM001 for patients with the advanced solid tumors. DM001 is an experimental drug which is not approved by health authorities for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Participants will have up to 17 visits during the study.There will be up to a 4-week Screening Period followed by a treatment period that will be divided into 3-week cycles/ Participants will have 5 study visits during Cycle 1, 3 visits during Cycles 2 and 3, and 1 visit during subsequent cycles. Participants will have an End of Treatment visit 21 days (+ 7 days) after last dose of study drug and then a follow-up visit 30 days (± 7 days) after the End of Treatment visit. Read Less

The goal of study： The study has two parts: Part 1 Dose Escalation and Part 2 Dose Expansion. In Part 1, a few participants will receive the lowest dose of study drug. The study team will make sure it is safe and tolerated before enrolling new participants at a higher dose of study drug. There will be up to six or more dose levels of study drug tested (called cohorts). Which dose you receive will depend on how many participants have taken part in the study before you. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug at different dose levels, to understand what your body does to the study drug, and to find the best dose of study drug in people who have advanced solid tumor cancers. In Part 2, participants will receive the best dose level that was determined in Part 1 of the study. The purpose of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug at the dose level determined in Part 1, to understand what your body does to the study drug, and to see how your cancer responds to the study drug. Participants will: Participants will have 17 or more visits to the study centre. This study has a screening phase of up to 28 days , and a treatment phase with cycles of 21 days each. Participants will also have an End of Treatment (EOT) visit 21 days after the final study drug treatment, and a Follow-up visit 30 days after the EOT visit . Participants will be contacted by telephone every 3 months after the Follow-up visit to check on the wellbeing and record any new anticancer therapy they may have started. Read Less
