The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a specific type of additional walking therapy, called body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) affects walking ability following a traumatic spinal cord injury. Specifically, the study will look at whether starting BWSTT, which uses a body harness to support body weight while walking on a treadmill at different times within the first 6 months after the injury, makes a difference in how effective this therapy may be, While we know that the brain re-learns patterns following an injury, there has not been a lot of prior research evaluating how starting this type of walking therapy at specific times within the first 6 months after injury may impact any effectiveness of the additional therapy. The study will randomize participants into four groups: those who start this therapy within 60 days, within 3 months, within 6 months or who do not receive this additional research therapy. Randomization means that which group you will be in as part of this study is determined by chance, like the flip of a coin. The additional walking therapy for this research study, if you are randomized for one of the three groups who receives the additional therapy, will be given on top of (meaning in addition to) any standard of care therapies that you may be receiving at that time point after your injury.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether microaggressions relate to multimodal facets of smoking behavior, subjective withdrawal, and urge/craving. Additionally, the second aim is to examine whether smoking deprivation moderates the relation between microaggressions and multiple facets of smoking behavior, subjective withdrawal, and urge/craving.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, active controlled, single site safety and efficacy study in subjects suffering from chronic wrist osteoarthritis comparing a single ADRC injection generated with the Transpose® RT system into the wrist. Read Less

This is a Prospective, Non-interventional, Multicenter, Long-term Follow-up Study to Evaluate SKG0106 in the Treatment of Patients with Neovascular (Wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD). All subject who completed the parent clinical study (NCT06213038 and NCT05986864) will undergo safety and efficacy assessments up to 5 years post study drug injection. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine whether SMDS patients treated with NR at the proposed dose exhibit decreased glucose uptake in the aorta, to determine if NR treatment results in measurable changes of blood NAD+ and NR levels, to determine if aortic measurements are stable after treatment with NR and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NR in SMDS patients.

Previous studies suggest that changes in metabolism due to the effects of aging might serve as a potential for therapeutic agents. The investigating lab developed a pulse method combining multiple stable isotopes to study multiple metabolic pathways in the same individual simultaneously. By measuring whole-body metabolism in a large group of older adults, the investigators may be able to unravel age-related deterioration in protein turnover (synthesis and breakdown) that contributes to impaired functional capacity. Metabolic profiles could explain differences in pathways in the aging process with special interest in metabolism of amino acids as they have been associated with aging-related disorders. Read Less

This evaluation uses a formative approach and a descriptive design with repeated measures to assess the efficacy of a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Process to improve services delivered by the Family Champions Project (FCP). The FCP delivers education-based services-TYRO Leadership and Core Communication curricula-with funding from the Office of Family Assistance to low-income fathers and mothers to promote healthy family relationships and economic stability in their households. TYRO Leadership and Core Communication are adapted from the TYRO suite of curricula that were developed by the RIDGE Project, and they are designed to improve the relationships of families affected by the incarceration of a parent and the economic stability of their households. Participants must be at least 18 years of age with a child no older than 24 years and have no open criminal cases (cases can be deferred). Evaluation activities are carried out by Midwest Evaluation and Research (MER) and assess the extent to which our CQI Process is a feasible approach to improve outputs and the outcomes that might be associated with them for an education-based service delivery effort like the FCP. Specifically, study results from formative evaluation will inform practitioners in the field of HMRE about the viability of using a CQI Process like ours to achieve full implementation and provide some evidence about its capacity to improve outcomes. Formative evaluation not only assesses experiences of the CQI Team and front-line service staff while implementing our CQI Process, but also pays attention to the timing and other specifics of any performance interventions that occur over the 5-year project. As a result, performance interventions present opportunities to conduct a series of mini studies to descriptively evaluate CQI Team efforts to improve implementation of the FCP. Performance trends that improve after an intervention indicate the CQI Team was likely successful to more fully implement outputs which should result in a positive effect on retention rates and, in turn, short term outcomes if we assume a sound theory of change for the FCP is depicted in the logic model.

This is a Phase I study to evaluate the safety profile of a type of immune therapy called HER2 CAR T cells (short for HER2 chimeric antigen receptor T cells). In addition to looking for side effects, we will study how well this treatment works against a brain tumor called ependymoma that has come back after treatment (recurrent) or has not responded well to treatment (progressive) in children. The HER2 CAR T cells used in this trial are made from the patient's own blood. A new gene, called the HER2 CAR, will be inserted into patient's T cells to allow them recognize a protein on the tumor called HER2. These HER2-specific CAR T cells may be able to target and kill ependymoma tumors that express HER2. This research is also studying how doable it is to provide this type of CAR T cell treatment to children being treated at different hospitals. Read Less

ARGONAUT is a longitudinal, prospective, observational study that will enroll up to 5,000 advanced-stage cancer patients of diverse racial backgrounds to collect data used to develop precision microbiome medicines and for the identification of clinically actionable cancer-specific biomarkers to guide therapeutic decisions. Four types of solid tumor cancers will be profiled including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and pancreatic cancer. Healthy control subjects without a cancer diagnosis will also be studied, comprised of individuals at high risk for CRC and healthy individuals at low risk for CRC. Risk assessment will be based on family history or past neoplastic findings during CRC screening. Data collected from this study will be used to develop the most effective new therapies, via microbiome optimization, all to the benefit of patients and the physicians treating them. Stool and blood samples will be collected longitudinally and analyzed to determine the impact of gut microbiome composition and function on the immune system and efficacy of the treatment. Currently enrolling the CRC, high risk, and low risk cohorts. Subjects who meet the entry criteria will provide up to 5 samples each of blood and stool over a 2-year period. Approximately 10%-20% of the subjects will provide colon tissue samples, either from research biopsies during Standard of Care (SOC) screening colonoscopy or retained surgical tissue from colectomy. Electronic health records will be obtained at various times for up to 8 years, to collect tumor imaging results and any other updated medical data, with no additional samples collected. In select cases, stool and blood samples will be collected beyond 2 years. Read Less
