Intact cognitive skills are necessary for independent living, going to work, and managing finances, and any loss of cognitive skills places a burden on society akin to what is seen with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias. The TelePORT Study (Telehealth-Enhanced Patient-Oriented Recovery Trajectories after Intensive Care) is the first post-intensive care syndrome longitudinal long-term cognitive impairment intervention study. The societal effect from long-term cognitive impairment after critical illness is great as many of these patients are employable adults or functional retirees. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Northera (Droxidopa) is safe and effective in young adults with Menkes disease who survived the most severe complications of their illness or adults with occipital horn syndrome (OHS), who have trouble with intermittent low blood pressure and other symptoms of dysautonomia. The outcomes and information from this study may help adult survivors of Menkes disease and individuals with OHS lead more normal day-to-day lives. Read Less

This early phase I trial studies the possible benefits and/or side effects of topical or oral minoxidil in treating endocrine therapy-induced hair loss (alopecia) in patients with stage I-IV breast cancer. Endocrine therapy-induced alopecia (EIA) is a distressing side effect that leads to reduced quality of life and early cessation of therapy in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Patients on endocrine therapy commonly report hair loss or thinning. Minoxidil is a drug that may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. Oral minoxidil may increase hair density in women with EIA, and work the same as topical minoxidil in treating EIA in patients with breast cancer. Read Less

This phase I trial tests the side effects and best dose of TGFbi natural killer (NK) cells (TiNK) when given together with isatuximab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to treatment (refractory). NK cells are a type of white blood cell that are known to spontaneously attack cancer cells. TiNK are NK cells made in a laboratory to have a higher response to tumor cells. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Patients also receive standard treatment (cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone) on this trial. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving TiNK and isatuximab with standard treatment may be a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of intraperitoneal oxaliplatin and fluorouracil in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the peritoneal cavity (peritoneal metastasis). Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It damages the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. Fluorouracil stops cells from making DNA and it may kill cancer cells. Both oxaliplatin and fluorouracil are approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat patients with colorectal cancer, however administration of these drugs directly into the area between the muscles and organs in the abdomen (intraperitoneal) for the treatment of peritoneal metastases is experimental. Giving oxaliplatin and fluorouracil directly into the peritoneal space may be a safe and effective way of treating patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. Read Less

This study evaluates how synthetic cooling additives like WS-3 and WS-23 impact e-cigarette perceptions, use behavior, and toxicant exposure. Read Less

In this study, the investigators will test whether the incorporation of positive affect promoting activities in treatment sessions improves outcomes in the context of CBT for depression and DBT for problems of emotion dysregulation. In clinics focused on each of these treatments, the investigators will evaluate these treatments with and without the addition of positive affect promoting activities. Read Less

This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized effectiveness-implementation hybrid study aimed at determining the effect of dissemination of a QI bundle on the time to treatment of SE among hospitalized, non-critically ill children. The primary study endpoint is to decrease the time from the SE diagnosis to treatment with the first dose of a benzodiazepine (BZD) as measured during hospitalization, which will decrease chances of morbidity and mortality.

This phase II trial studies the effect of venetoclax and azacitidine in treating patients with therapy related or secondary myelodysplastic syndrome. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax in combination with azacitidine may work better in treating patients with therapy related or secondary myelodysplastic syndrome. Read Less

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of SNDX-5613 and gilteritinib for treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and has a mutation in the FLT3 gene along with either a mutation in the NMP1 gene or a type of mutation called a rearrangement in the MLL gene. SNDX-5613 is in a class of medications called menin inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of mutated MLL and NMP1 proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply. Gilteritinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of mutated FLT3 proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply. Giving SNDX-5613 with gilteritinib may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3 mutated acute myeloid leukemia. Read Less

This clinical trial studies the side effects of stereotactic radiosurgery and how well it works with or without vertebroplasty, separation surgery, or immunotherapy in patients with cancer that is radiation resistant and has spread to the spine (spinal metastases). Spinal metastases are rapidly progressive, have poor prognosis, are extremely difficult to treat, and can effect patient quality of life and overall health. Immunotherapy is a type of standard of care therapy to boost or restore the ability of the immune system to fight cancer. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. A vertebroplasty is a procedure used to repair a bone in the spine that has a break caused by cancer, osteoporosis, or trauma. The purpose of this trial is to test different combinations of immunotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and surgery to improve overall survival and quality of life in patients with spinal metastases.

The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention designed to prevent nurse suicide. This randomized controlled trial will test the modified Interactive Screening Program (mISP) alone and the mISP combined with a program called MINDBODYSTRONG. The mISP is a method of screening to detect clinicians at moderate to high risk for suicide and referring them for treatment through an encrypted anonymous on-line platform. MINDBODYSTRONG© is an adaptation of a well-tested cognitive-behavioral skills building intervention (also known as COPE in the literature) that provides a cognitive-behavior theory-based approach to decrease depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation and improve healthy lifestyle beliefs and behaviors in at-risk populations. MINDBODYSTRONG© will involve eight self-paced computerized sessions designed specifically for nurses and clinicians. Nurses will be recruited nationally through the professional nursing organizations and health systems. Read Less
