VCOM Pain Free Research
Recruiting
Studies estimate that 30% of people worldwide experience chronic pain. The mechanisms causing this pain can vary: a neuropathic offender, such as nerve compression; a structural offender, such as long-term effects of soft tissue damage and repair; or nociplastic, dysfunctional offenders, such as fibromyalgia. The type of pain experienced influences diagnostic and treatment choice. In theory, there's a significant blending of these pain types within individuals and across patients, leading many s...

Therapeutic Omegas for Triglyceride Suppression
Recruiting
This study plans to learn more about how an omega-3 fatty acid supplement effects triglyceride levels in pregnancy. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body converts extra calories into triglycerides to be stored and used later for energy. It is normal for triglyceride levels to go up during pregnancy however some women have levels that are \~30-40% higher than normal when they reach their third trimester of pregnancy. Having high triglycerides in pregnancy may be related t... Read More

Integrated Supportive and Palliative Care for Older Adults in the ICU
Recruiting
The National Academy of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have called for urgent action to improve the care delivered to the nearly 1,000,000 older Americans who die in intensive care units (ICUs) annually, or survive with substantial impairments. These patients often die with distressing symptoms and may receive more invasive, life-prolonging treatment than they would choose for themselves. Moreover, their family members acting as surrogate decision makers often experience lasting... Read More

Kaiser Permanente VACCination Improvement with Nudge-based CardiovAscular Targeted Engagement
Recruiting
In randomized clinical trials and observational studies, influenza vaccination is effective in reducing influenza-related illness and hospitalizations and potentially cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in select populations. However, the potential population-level benefit of influenza vaccination is limited by its uptake. Novel implementation strategies to improve vaccination uptake are needed. KP VACCINATE is a multicenter, sequential, individual-level randomized controlled implementatio... Read More

Neurocognitive and Health Impact of Sleep Apnea in Elderly Veterans With Comorbid COPD
Recruiting
Cognitive dysfunction in the aging Veteran population is a growing health concern in the Veterans Health System. It is not known whether OSA coexisting with COPD will enhance the risk for cognitive dysfunction. The investigators sought to investigate whether these two highly prevalent diseases, that often co-exist as the 'Overlap Syndrome', combine to enhance cognitive impairment in the elderly Veteran population. Thus, the investigators will study whether elderly patients with Overlap syndrome... Read More

Pembrolizumab With or Without Axitinib for Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Clear Cell Kidney Cancer in Patients Undergoing Surgery
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab with or without standard of care axitinib works in treating patients with clear cell kidney cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic) who are undergoing surgery. Pembrolizumab is an antibody that is designed to bind to and block the activity of PD-1, a molecule in the body that may be responsible for inhibiting the body's immune response against cancer cells. Axitinib is a... Read More

Pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) will be combined with venetoclax and azacitidine for treatment of subjects with previously treated or untreated with high risk factor acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Venetoclax and azacitidine are front-line therapy for such patients, and ADI-PEG 20 will be added to this regimen in a phase IA/B study.

A Trial of Anti-CD4 Antibody UB-421 in Combination With Optimized Background Antiretroviral Therapy in Patients With Multi-Drug Resistant HIV-1 Infection
Recruiting
Background: People with HIV usually take a combination of 2 or more anti-HIV drugs daily to help manage their infection. Sometimes, however, HIV becomes resistant to these drugs, and the infection cannot be treated. Untreated HIV infection can make people more vulnerable to other infections as well as some cancers. Better treatments are needed for people with drug-resistant HIV. Objective: To see if a study drug (UB-421) is effective in people with drug-resistant HIV. Eligibility: People ag... Read More
