This phase II trial tests how well vorinostat works in treating patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-low castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) (mCRPC). Prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) is typically treated through surgery or radiotherapy, which for many men is curable. Despite definitive local therapy, cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) disease develops in 27-53% of men. Often this is detected by measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) without visible evidence of metastatic disease. Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan (177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen \[PSMA\]-617) is a new small molecule PSMA-targeted radioactive therapy that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adult patients with PSMA-positive mCRPC who have been treated with androgen receptor inhibitors and taxane-based chemotherapy. Vorinostat is used to treat various types of cancer that does not get better, gets worse, or comes back during or after treatment with other drugs. Vorinostat is a drug which inhibits the enzyme histone deacetylase and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat and 177Lu-PSMA-617 may kill more tumor cells in in patients with PSMA-low mCRPC. Read Less

The goal of the study is to generate a biorepository of longitudinal biofluids-blood (plasma and serum), cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and urine linked to genetics and longitudinal clinical information that are made available to the research community. To accomplish these goals, we will enroll 800 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients and 200 healthy controls from sites globally, over a 5 year time frame. Additionally, speech and motor function and spirometry measures will be collected bi-weekly in a subset of participants. ALS participants will be asked to come to the clinic for 5 study visits approximately every 4 months. Healthy participants will be coming for 2 study visits with a 12-month interval between visits. These samples and clinical information will be stored in a de-identified manner and made available for investigators to use in future research studies. Read Less

This clinical trial is evaluating whether addition of navtemadlin to ruxolitinib treatment will provide more clinical benefit than ruxolitinib alone for patients with Myelofibrosis who have a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib treatment alone. Subjects will start by receiving ruxolitinib alone in the run-in period. Those who demostrate a suboptimal response from ruxolitinib alone will then be randomized 2:1 to receive navtemadlin or navtemadlin placebo as add-on treatment to their ongoing ruxolitinib. Randomized means that subjects will be assigned to a group by chance, like a flip of a coin. The study is blinded, meaning the subjects, doctors, central endpoint assessors and sponsor will not know which add on treatment (navtemadlin or navtemadlin placebo) the subject is receiving.

This study is a prospective two-arm, single blind randomized controlled trial design to compare the clinical effectiveness of telemedicine-delivered, 6-session, standardized cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness-based treatment for insomnia (MBTI) in treating insomnia symptoms and ameliorating depressive symptoms in persons with mild to moderate TBI and comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) and insomnia symptoms in a 360 patients. Participants will undergo assessment (psychosocial questionnaires, neurocognitive testing, sleep monitoring) at baseline, at the end of treatment, and at 2-, 6- and 12-weeks post-treatment. The primary outcome is sleep as measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Read Less

Study B7841007 is an open-label extension study to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of prophylaxis treatment with marstacimab in participants who did not require "Early Termination" from the Phase 3 Study B7841005 and from the Phase 3 Study B7841008. Study B7841005: approximately 145 adolescent and adult participants 12 to \<75 years of age with severe hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B (defined as FVIII activity \<1% or FIX activity ≤2%, respectively) with or without inhibitors are expected to be enrolled in Study B7841005 during which they will receive prophylaxis (defined as treatment by SC injection of marstacimab). Study B7841008: this is an ongoing Phase 3, open-label study in pediatric participants \<18 years of age with severe hemophilia A (FVIII Coagulation Factor Activity \<1%) or moderately severe to severe hemophilia B (FIX Coagulation Factor Activity ≤2%). A sequential approach will be used in enrolling at least 100 pediatric participants, at least 20 of which will be aged ≥12 to \<18 years and at least 80 participants will be aged ≥1 to \<12 years. At the start of study B7841008, the dosing and data available in adolescent and adult participants in Study B7841005 supported the initiation of B7841008 study in participants aged ≥12 to \<18 years. Subsequently, additional safety and efficacy data from adolescent participants in Study B7841005 became available for benefit/risk assessment in support of dosing participants aged ≥6 to \<12 years. Based on the positive benefit/risk assessment conducted by both internal Pfizer review and eDMC review, dosing of the ≥6 to \<12 years age group was initiated in June 2023 in B7841008 Study. Data from participants ≥6 years from B7841008 Study and Study B7841005 will support the dosing of participants aged ≥1 to \<6 years. All participants will be provided the prefilled pen (PFP) for administration of marstacimab in the study. Use of the prefilled syringe (PFS) will be permitted at the investigator's discretion for those participants who have difficulty with administration of the PFP. Additionally, participants will be provided the PFS for use in this study in countries where the PFS is anticipated to be the only presentation available commercially. An optional, open-label, single arm, substudy using the PFP was completed in the first 23 participants rolled over from Study B7841005 who agreed to participate in the substudy. Read Less

Soldiers operate in environments that are more likely to lead to oral trauma, risking poor dentition which can directly impact military readiness. Dental restoration can often be accomplished via dental implant insertion. Microbiome-associated complications that result in bone loss, including the micro-leakage of bacterial species proliferating in the dental implant internal cavity, frequently lead to implant failure. Reduction in implant bacterial load may result in a shift of the composition of the microbiome in favor of less pathogenic species, potentially improving dental implant success rates, reducing surgical revisions, and associated cost savings. This study aims to determine how disinfectant gel (hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine) insertion into dental implant internal cavities affects implant failure rates, bacterial load and microbiome composition.

The purpose of this study is to examine the acute effects of cannabigerol (CBG) on various psychological (e.g., anxiety, stress, mood, memory, impairment, intoxication, side effects) and physiological (blood pressure, cortisol, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, pain tolerance, temperature) outcomes. Further, potential side effects of CBG (sleepiness/fatigue, dry mouth/eyes, increased appetite, and dizziness nausea) will be assessed. As such, the study is focused on better understanding some of the potentially beneficial and detrimental effects of CBG on humans. Read Less

This study plans to learn more about whether a stakeholder-informed, standardized inpatient vaccination program will increase influenza vaccination rates of hospitalized children across US pediatric health systems. The first part of the study is to form a multidisciplinary team of stakeholders, including parents, providers, nurses, pharmacists, informaticists, data analysts and communication experts across three sites in synthesizing a best practice implementation guide for an inpatient influenza vaccination program, which will then be piloted at these three sites.

Many Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have trouble sleeping or have frequent nightmares. So far, no medication has been approved for treatment of insomnia in PTSD. The purpose of this research study is to find out if taking medications called trazodone or eszopiclone can help decrease symptoms of insomnia in patients with PTSD. PTSD is a form of intense anxiety which sometimes results from severe trauma. Symptoms may include nightmares, flashbacks, troublesome memories, difficulty sleeping, poor concentration, irritability, anger, and emotional withdrawal. Insomnia is a disorder that can make it hard to fall sleep, stay asleep or cause a person to wake up too early and not be able to fall back to sleep. Read Less

The MIDAS study aims to follow male and female LAM patients who are currently taking, have previously failed or been intolerant of, or may (at some time in the future) take mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus or everolimus) as part of their clinical care. Adult female TSC patients may also enroll, with or without lung cysts. Read Less

The goal of this study is to investigate whether the botanical product kratom affects how the body processes the opioid drug oxycodone. The main research questions to be answered are two-fold: 1. How does kratom affect the manner in which oxycodone is metabolized (broken down and removed) by the body? 2. Does kratom change the effects oxycodone exerts on the body? Healthy adult participants will complete four study arms, during which they will be given the following: * Kratom (as a tea) * A single dose of oxycodone (as a tablet) * Kratom tea and a single dose of oxycodone * Kratom tea for four days, then kratom tea and a single dose of oxycodone Read Less
