By age 45, women's lifetime risk of dementia is estimated to be 1 in 5. Two-thirds of people currently living with a dementia diagnosis are women, and-women make up the majority of carers for people with dementia. Because women bear a larger burden of the dementia epidemic, they tend to be more fearful about dementia compared to men. Women may be especially fearful during the menopause transition, which can impact cognition. These fears can cause significant psychological distress, functional impairment, and avoidance of help seeking. Interventions that acknowledge women's fears and promote adaptive coping during the menopause transition are needed to combat dementia-related fear and its negative impacts. This project aims to develop, and pilot test a brief personalized, psychosocial intervention for middle-aged perimenopausal individuals with elevated dementia risk. The investigators will assess the intervention's acceptability and feasibility for use in this population. The project will be completed in three stages. First, the investigators will conduct focus groups to better understand individual fears about dementia, informational and decisional needs, and strategies to promote adaptive coping as they transition through menopause (case-only, single time point). Second, the investigators will develop an intervention to meet the specific needs identified by the focus groups. Intervention components will address multiple areas of women's health in midlife, including aspects of physical and psychological health, as well as functional health outcomes that have important and long-lasting life implications. Finally, the investigators will conduct pilot testing to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention (cohort, 3-week testing period). This project will deliver a novel psychosocial intervention that can provide middle-aged perimenopausal women with the information and practical skills that can help them manage their dementia-related fears and encourage adaptive coping behaviors. Outputs from the project will serve as preliminary data for a fully powered randomized controlled trial. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if daily supplementation with SPM Active® can increase omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derivatives and improve well-being in male adults with obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does 2 g/day of SPM Active® for 12 weeks increase plasma levels of 14-hydroxydocosahexaenoic (HDHA), 17-HDHA, and 18-hydroxy eicosapentaenoic acid (HEPE)? Does 2 g/day of SPM Active® for 12 weeks improve self-reported burnout, life satisfaction, and sleep quality? Participants will: Take two SPM Active® soft-gel capsules daily for 12 weeks (±2-4 days). Provide 12-hour fasting blood samples before and after the intervention. Complete validated surveys on burnout, life satisfaction, and sleep quality at baseline and study end. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug WTX-330 when administered using a fixed dose regimen or a step-up dose regimen in adult patients with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphoma. In addition to safety and tolerability, the study aims to: * determine the maximum initial dose of WTX-330 that may be used in the step-up dose regimen * determine whether the step-up dose regimen can increase WTX-330 exposure in patients due to improved tolerability * determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of WTX-330 and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) for each regimen * evaluate the antitumor activity of WTX-330 * characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of WTX-330 * characterize the interferon gamma (IFNγ) profile after treatment with WTX-330 * evaluate changes in immunological biomarkers * determine the impact of WTX-330 on overall survival (OS) Study participants will participate in a dose- and regimen-finding phase (Part 1) followed by a dose expansion phase (Part 2) where they will be assigned to one of three arms (A, B and C).

The main purpose of the study is to assess whether the study drug, ERAS-4001, is safe and tolerable when administered to patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with certain KRAS mutations. ERAS-4001 will be given alone or in combination with other treatments. Read Less

The research objective of the proposed usability study is to assess the compliance and acceptance/satisfaction of using a bimodal stimulation device with the modification of the sound stimulus to the participant's tinnitus pitch. In particular, the sound stimulus will not contain the pitch of the tinnitus, which may increase comfort and usability with the device since it will be customized to their tinnitus. Furthermore, virtual follow-up assessments and/or phone calls will be performed, thus significantly reducing the burden and personnel requirements for in-person visits as originally performed with the current clinic process.

This is a 2-part, proof-of-concept study to be conducted globally, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BLU-808, a wild type KIT inhibitor, in participants with CIndU (Part A) or CSU (Part B). Read Less

Advanced heart failure, affecting 7 million Americans, has multiple causes and results in greatly increased risk of disability and death. A major problem is sudden cardiac death, when the damaged heart develops an abnormal pattern of electrical conduction that can result in cessation of heart activity. While placement of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) in a patient's chest can help prevent sudden cardiac death, these devices have several important downsides. This protocol focuses on development of a digital decision aid that helps heart failure patients make informed decisions that balance the benefits and downsides of ICD placement. This protocol covers the use of participant surveys, focus groups, and interviews to obtain the needed background information to guide the development of this digital tool, which will be subsequently tested against usual care in a randomized clinical trial. The study design is best described as a mixed methods evaluation and refinement of a digital app to improve ICD decision-making. In the future, the present protocol will be modified to create a new protocol that covers the needed human subjects requirements for performance of this clinical trial. Read Less

This open label, multi-center study will collect data from the participant's use of My Connect Post-Op Software as a post-operative communication solution in supporting patient recovery through Technology-Assisted Conversation (TAC). The application will be tested by patients who have undergone total joint replacement as a post-op communication tool. Data will be collected on how effectively the product guides patients through their recovery, identifying potential complications, and providing appropriate recommendations based on structured question pairs.

We will test the HOPE intervention on changing behavior of people to exercise more (take more steps each day). Read Less

This study will investigate the potential benefits of rose scent in reducing the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) in patients with epilepsy. Participants will engage in their routine inpatient observational EEG monitoring for 24 hours followed by an additional 24 hours of observational EEG monitoring with continuous exposure to rose scent, during which an essential oil diffusor with rose scent will be placed in their hospital room. During these 48 total hours of the study, participants will wear a respiratory monitoring belt across their upper chest to measure their breathing. Potential risks include distress or discomfort when smelling the rose scent used in the study, a physical reaction to the rose scent, and discomfort or feelings of restrictiveness when wearing the respiratory monitoring belt. The total time commitment of the study is 48 consecutive hours over the course of the participants' inpatient EMU stay, during which there will be no restrictions on daily activities during the standard inpatient EMU admission except that participants must wear their respiratory belt for a majority of this 2-day period.
