All Clinical Trials

The goal of this randomized trial is to learn if the Are You Ready? (AYR) intervention has a positive impact on the sexual and mental health behaviors of sexually active youth between the ages of 14 and 21 years old who are at risk for or involved in the juvenile justice and/or child welfare systems. The primary research questions it aims to answer are: * Three months after being offered the intervention, does AYR impact youth's receipt of sexually transmitted infection testing in the past three months? * Three months after being offered the intervention, does AYR impact youth's use of coping skills? * Nine months after being offered the intervention, does AYR impact youth's frequency of having vaginal and anal sex without condoms in the past three months? Researchers will compare participants randomized to receive AYR (treatment group) to participants randomized to receive a control condition that contains no sexual or reproductive health information (control group). Participants randomized to the treatment group will be offered AYR as a virtual or in-person, 2.5 hour group session. Participants randomized to the control group will be offered a virtually delivered control condition. Read Less

This clinical trial studies side effects and best treatment time of cryodevitalization in treating patients with early stage (stage I or stage II) lung cancer. Cryodevitalization is a type of cryosurgery that uses a flexible probe (cryoprobe) to kill tumor cells by freezing them. It is delivered at the time of standard diagnostic robotic bronchoscopy. Using cryodevitalization may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with early stage lung cancer. Read Less

The objective of this retrospective and prospective consecutive series data collection is to confirm safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Comprehensive SRS Regenerex Tissue Attachment Augments when used for limb salvage arthroplasty. Read Less

This study aims to test the accuracy of the Perin Health Patch (PHP), a non-invasive, chest-worn device that measures blood oxygen levels, by comparing its readings to a standard pulse oximeter device. The PHP device uses light sensors to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), similar to how standard pulse oximeters work, and could allow for continuous remote monitoring at home. Participants in this study will breathe low-oxygen air through a mask to simulate different oxygen levels in a controlled environment. The goal is to see if the PHP device can accurately measure blood oxygen levels under different conditions and meet safety standards set by the FDA and international guidelines. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to identify and elucidate the pattern and perhaps role of atypical proteins, cytokines and vaginal microbial flora in the pathogenic mechanisms involved in the development of vulvodynia, recurrent fungal and bacterial vaginosis and preterm labor. Read Less

This phase I trial studies the safety of transplantation with a haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell graft depleted of TCRαβ+ cells and CD19+ cells in conjunction with the immunomodulating drug, Zoledronate, given in the post-transplant period to treat pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies or high risk solid tumors.

Investigators are evaluating the feasibility, safety and early efficacy of administering a commercially available dietary supplement containing potato-based resistant starch to subjects undergoing allogeneic SCT (stem cell transplant). The intervention will begin immediately prior to the conditioning phase and continue through day 100. Investigators hypothesize that short term administration of a resistant starch is capable of increasing levels of butyrate within the intestine that will reduce rates of acute GVHD (Graft-Versus-Host Disease).

The study will use blood (serum and plasma) and tissue obtained from participants undergoing prescribed surgical resection of vascular anomalies of interest proposed in this study. The study will also use blood (serum and plasma) and tissue collected and stored in a tissue bank maintained by the Department of Hematology/Oncology. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of a protein in the brain known as tau using an imaging procedure called Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT). 18F-AV-1451 is a specialized radioactive PET imaging agent that is able to detect the presence of tau in the brain. In this study, the investigator will use the 18F-AV-1451 to capture images of tau in the brain. Findings from this study will likely provide insight into the mechanisms and distinctions of age-related cognitive decline and that of very early Alzheimer's disease. Read Less

External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is performed very often in neurosurgical practices. EVD's are most commonly placed at the bedside using external anatomical landmarks to guide the catheter into the frontal horn of the ipsilateral lateral ventricle. EVDs are often placed due to acute neurological compromise and require timely insertion. Accurate catheter placement is essential to achieving effective external CSF drainage without complications or occlusion/failure of the catheter. Catheter placement is most commonly performed via a freehand approach using external anatomical landmarks to help identify the location of the lateral ventricle within the brain without the aid of imaging. Proper identification of the ventricles on pre-procedure imaging, surgeon skill, and estimation of pathologic perturbations to the normal location of the ventricles all factor into the success of catheter placement. Multiple passes are often required. The accuracy rate from the freehand technique has been reported to range from 40 to 98 percent. Current methods for EVD placement do not compensate for superficial brain vessels or pathology that may alter the intracranial anatomy such as trauma, hemorrhage, or mass lesions. Some studies have attempted to use CTA imaging to identify intracranial vessels in an attempt to avoid them during placement. Image guidance is a tool used very commonly for placement of EVD's and shunts in the operating room. AxiEM Stealth is a noninvasive image localization modality that registers a CT or MRI to the individual patients facial and scalp anatomy. This study will compare the current standard of care of freehand placement of bedside external ventricular catheters to the placement of EVD catheters with AxiEM Stealth image guidance. Read Less

This is a multicenter, randomized 2-arm clinical trial of two lifestyle interventions varying in intensity and format, in 400 older African American and non-Hispanic whites at increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia in the East San Francisco Bay Area. The trial will include two lifestyle interventions that differ in intensity and format: 1. Aerobic Exercise (AEx) Intervention that involves aerobic activities with in-class walking workouts and tutorials and carried out at the East Oakland Sports Center (EOSC) and Tice Creek Fitness Center (TICE). 2. Dietary counseling to support adherence to the Mediterranean-Diet Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet to encourage increased consumption of berries, green leafy and other vegetables, whole grains, nuts, fish, poultry, beans and olive oil, and to reduce consumption of fried/fast foods, red meat, whole fat cheese, sweets, butter and trans-fat margarines.

This trial collects and analyzes sweat and saliva samples compared to blood in detecting chemical concentrations in the body in patients with chronic or infectious diseases receiving medications. Wearable sweat sensors are capable of monitoring electrolytes and metabolites (sodium, potassium, glucose, lactate, etc.) for health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Designing wearable sweat sensors capable of providing information regarding drug administration may be challenging due to ultralow concentrations in biofluids. This trial seeks to determine if the use of a smart wristband can accurately measure the levels of chemicals and substances in sweat. Read Less
