The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of meropenem-vaborbactam administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in children 3 months and above to less than 12 years with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis (AP) Read Less

This is an open label, randomized, two arm, multi-center study to explore the effect of leronlimab on the overall response rate/ overall survival and safety and tolerability when used in combination with trifluridine and tipiracil + bevacizumab in patients with CCR5+, MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can leronlimab, in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab, increase the objective response rate in persons with CCR5+, MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. 2. Is leronlimab safe and well tolerated in these subjects when used in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab. Read Less

The proposed research seeks to determine whether virtual coaching and social support focusing on key social cognitive factors will be an effective strategy for maintaining physical activity (PA) after completing cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Despite the well-documented benefits of CR, only 15-50% of individuals continue to exercise 6 months after completing CR.4-6 Thus, after 36 sessions (typically 12 weeks), many patients are left without the support necessary to sustain physical activity (PA) and prevent adverse secondary cardiac events. Though previous research has explored interventions to sustain PA after CR, many studies have been lacking in a theoretical basis, objective measurement of PA, measurement, and analysis of psychosocial and social cognitive factors, and long-term impact on clinical outcomes. Low-cost, pragmatic approaches to maintaining PA after CR is urgently needed for older adults, and virtual technologies offer promising solutions to promote adherence to PA. The three specific aims of the project are to: 1) determine the effect of virtual coaching and social support on adherence to PA (measured by objective step counts) in the intervention vs. control groups; secondary measures will be amount of sedentary time, functional fitness, and self-reported exercise; 2) determine the effect of virtual coaching and social support on psychosocial and social cognitive factors in the intervention vs. control groups; 2a) evaluate the extent to which psychosocial and social cognitive factors mediate the effect of the intervention on PA adherence; 3) examine differences in cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors (blood pressure, lipids, HbA1c, BMI) between groups.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin condition that may cause a rash and itching due to inflammation of the skin. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of single therapies and/or combination therapies for moderate to severe AD through multiple substudies. This study will consist of multiple sub-studies, Sub-Study 1 will have a randomized, placebo controlled period 1 followed by a lutikizumab treatment period 2 enrolling 80 participants at a 1 to 1 ratio. In Sub-Study 1, participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of lutikizumab or matching placebo every other week for 16 weeks followed by an additional 32 weeks of subcutaneous (SC) injections of lutikizumab every other week for a total of 52 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent medical assessments, blood tests, and biomarker collections. Read Less

Single-arm pilot trial of the use of intrapleural saline irrigation to treat retained pleural infections for patients with contraindications to standard of care intrapleural enzymatic therapy. Read Less

Hypothyroidism is a common condition, more frequent in females, associated with excess of cardiovascular risk and poor quality of life not completely abrogated by treatment with levothyroxine. There is an unmet need to define a safe, effective, and feasible regimen to be applied in large trials aimed at assessing levothyroxine/liothyronine combination therapy in patients living with hypothyroidism. To address this knowledge gap we propose a randomized, three-arm, double-blind, controlled, escalating dose parallel pilot study whose results will lay the foundation of large multicenter trial(s) able to demonstrate the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of levothyroxine/liothyronine combination therapy.

RESET-CKD is evaluating an intervention to support Black adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to reduce their sedentary (e.g., sitting) time. Half of the participants will be randomized to the intervention, where the goal is to support individuals to reduce their sitting time, and the other half will be randomized to an attention control condition that provides CKD-related education not related to sedentary behavior. All participants will be followed for 12 weeks. Read Less

The goal of this study is to develop and test the feasibility of a theory-driven digital culinary medicine program among food insecure cancer survivors referred from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Oncology Clinic at LBJ to the LBJ Food Farmacy program. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare spray cryotherapy plus balloon dilatation versus current standard of Care (SoC - steroid injection, radial cuts and balloon dilatation) in patients with benign airway stenosis with simple stenosis. The main question\[s\] investigators aim to answer are: 1. What is the need for reintervention and time to reintervention in participants with benign airway stenosis with simple stenosis who receive spray cryotherapy plus balloon dilatation versus standard of care alone? 2. To evaluate patient experience, physiological, anatomical changes, health care utilization and safety of the SCT plus balloon dilatation versus standard of care alone. Researchers will compare spray cryotherapy plus balloon dilatation versus current standard of Care (SoC - steroid injection, radial cuts and balloon dilatation) in patients with benign airway stenosis with simple stenosis to see if it reduces the need of re intervention. Participants will surgery and receive one of the two interventions. Read Less

The purpose of this research study is to find out if precise, targeted injection of botulinum neurotoxin (commonly known as Botox) provides better relief of pelvic floor hypertonicity and pain than the standard method being used. The researchers want to better understand the effects (good and bad) of targeted botulinum neurotoxin injections in women with pelvic floor disorders. Read Less

This is an open label, phase I, multi-center study aiming to assess the safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Read Less

The goals of this clinical trial are to 1) learn how two different rehabilitation interventions for PD can reduce Freezing of Gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease, as assessed by patients, clinicians, and wearable sensors, and 2) to explore whether two different rehabilitation intervention can reduce FOG and improve daily life mobility in people with FOG sufficiently to justify a clinical trial. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups (turning-focused agility exercise or strength-based exercise) * Have one-on-one training sessions three times per week for 6 weeks * Perform in-lab assessments before beginning and after completing the study intervention * Use wearable mobility sensors during daily life to measure their walking and balance Read Less
