Cryoablation as a Minimally Invasive Alternative to Surgery for Managing Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
Recruiting
Cryoablation or tumor freezing is a percutaneous, office-based procedure that is emerging as a minimally invasive, cost-effective alternative to surgery that is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for the management of for early-stage invasive breast cancer. The investigator will also evaluate the potential of cryoablation as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for small areas of DCIS by examining its ability to achieve complete ablation of DCIS within the targeted cryoablation...

Study of Crizanlizumab for Prevention of Silent Cerebral Infarcts in SCA
Recruiting
In this prospective, single-arm, open-label, imaging and treatment study, the investigator will test the hypothesis that crizanlizumab will prevent the progression of silent cerebral infarcts in patients with sickle cell disease. Study participants will undergo brain MRI before initiation of crizanlizumab and at 6 and 30 months after starting crizanlizumab infusions. The crizanlizumab cohort will be compared to a matched, observational cohort of patients not receiving crizanlizumab.

Impact of AI on Trainee ADR
Recruiting
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a validated quality metric for colonoscopy with higher ADR correlated with improved colorectal cancer outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) can automatically detect polyps on the video monitor which may allow endoscopists in training to improve their ADR. Objective and Purpose of the study: Measure the effect of AI in a prospective, randomized manner to determine its impact on ADR of Gastroenterology trainees.

Managing Pain and Cognitions in Older Adults With Early Cognitive Decline and Chronic Pain
Recruiting
The investigators aim to conduct a fully powered randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of two symptom management programs for older adults with early cognitive decline (either self-reported or confirmed by testing) and chronic pain, Active Brains 1 and Active Brains 2. The investigators will assess how each program may help in improving multimodal physical, cognitive and emotional function. The investigators will also assess whether improvements in outcomes from the two programs ar... Read More

Navtemadlin (KRT-232) With or Without Anti-PD-1/Anti-PD-L1 for the Treatment of Patients With Merkel Cell Carcinoma
Recruiting
This study evaluates KRT-232, a novel oral small molecule inhibitor of MDM2, for the treatment of patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) who have failed treatment with at least one anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy or in combination with avelumab in MCC patients who are anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 treatment naïve. Inhibition of MDM2 is a novel mechanism of action in MCC.

Pain and Itch Reduction in Burn Scars Treated With Fractional CO2 Laser
Recruiting
Hypertrophic Burn Scars (HTBS) are often treated with Fractional CO2 laser therapy to improve cosmetic appearance. It has been noted that this leads to a reduction in the pain and itch associated with this type of scars. While this phenomenon is commonly described in the literature, the mechanism of pain and itch reduction in unclear. The investigators aim to better understand this process by histological evaluation of HTBS at different stages of laser treatment.

Ultrasound Cavitation Therapy for CLI
Recruiting
In this study, we will explore how ultrasound exposure of ultrasound contrast agents, which produces beneficial shear-mediated bioeffects, can be used to treat patients with severe non-healing ulcers secondary to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The primary outcome measure is whether ultrasound exposure to microbubble contrast agents in the inflow artery and at the wound site can accelerate wound healing. A secondary outcome measure is whether cavitation-related changes occur in tissue perfusi... Read More
