Total Therapy Study XVI for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Completed
The primary objective of this study (TOTXVI) is to compare the clinical benefit, the pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamics of polyethylene glycol-conjugated (PEG) asparaginase given in higher dose (HD PEG) versus those of PEG-asparaginase given in conventional dose (CD PEG) during the continuation phase. This study has several secondary objectives: Therapeutic Objectives: To estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of children with ALL who are treated with risk-directed ther... Read More

Dexamethasone to Target Stress and Immune System Mechanisms Underlying Alcohol Craving
Unknown
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof of concept laboratory study to recruit N=70 (35 Males / 35 Females) non-treatment seeking, heavy drinkers with alcohol use disorder (AUD). It is hypothesized that randomization to 1.5mgs dexamethasone versus placebo will decrease alcohol craving during stress by decreasing basal cortisol, increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine levels and potentially normalizing the immune response to stress.

Liposomal Bupivacaine vs Dexamethasone ISB
Completed
In this study, patients receiving shoulder arthroscopy will receive an interscalene block for pain management containing either liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine or standard bupivacaine and dexamethasone. Patients will be followed up with to determine postoperative pain and block duration.

Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial 4 (ACTT-4)
Completed
ACTT-4 will evaluate the combination of baricitinib and remdesivir compared to dexamethasone and remdesivir. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22, and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests, oropharyngeal (OP) swabs, plasma (Day 29), and serum for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data.

A Comparison of Dexamethasone and Triamcinolone for Ultrasound-guided Occipital C2 Nerve Blocks
Withdrawn
Greater occipital nerve (GON) injection is a commonly performed diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in headache patients. GON blocks have been shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of headaches including occipital neuralgia, migraine, vascular headache, cluster headache, cervicogenic headache, and post-concussive headache. Local anesthetic and steroids have been successfully used for diagnostic and or therapeutic nerve pain such as lumbar radicultis with great success. Dexamethaso... Read More

Daratumumab, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
Withdrawn
This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed). Immunotherapy with daratumumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by...

Hormone Therapy and Radiation Therapy or Hormone Therapy and Radiation Therapy Followed by Docetaxel and Prednisone in Treating Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using drugs, such as leuprolide, goserelin, flutamide, or bicalutamide, may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgens the body makes. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known... Read More

Intravenous Dexamethasone on Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy
Completed
Previous studies have confirmed that IV dexamethasone prolongs brachial plexus blocks. However, these studies only used fixed doses of IV dexamethasone at relatively high doses, which could potentially lead to increased glucose levels, delayed wound healing, and unintended side effects. There remains a paucity of research on the effective dose range of IV dexamethasone for the prolongation of supraclavicular blocks. The optimal dosage of IV dexamethasone for prolongation of analgesia vs. motor b... Read More
