The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Point Mini system as compared to the subject's existing prosthetic treatment, which may include a prosthesis, other assistive device, or no device. This study will be a single subject crossover design where one group of 14 children with partial hand deficiencies will be evaluated on several metrics using their existing prosthetic treatment for one month and the Point Mini system for two months. Metrics include: in-clinic functional measures, subjective assessments, bilateral hand use, and prosthesis wear time. Read Less

This is an adaptive Phase 2, open-label, randomized, multi-center study evaluating up to 2 regimens of PCS6422 with capecitabine (Cap) vs. standard dose of Cap alone in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The goal of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of PCS6422 + Cap as a treatment option for patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are not eligible for anthracycline- or taxane-containing therapies, or other available therapies, including PD-1 or PARP inhibitors.

This clinical study will test a new type of cochlear implant known as CI632D. This experimental cochlear implant has been designed to slowly release a drug called dexamethasone. Dexamethasone works to ease inflammation and reduce tissue injury, which is common after any type of surgery. The goal is to learn if the dexamethasone in the CI632D implant lessens these reactions inside the ear following surgery and if this makes the implant work as well, or even better, in improving hearing than what would be expected with a standard cochlear implant. The study will be conducted in adults with sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve (the nerve that carries sound signals from the ear to the brain). The study participants will receive the CI632D experimental implant and will complete tests to see how well they are hearing and how well the implant is working. Read Less

This clinical trial studies whether a biomarker platform, the Virtual Nodule Clinic, can be used for the management of lung (pulmonary) nodules that are not clearly non-cancerous (benign) or clearly cancerous (malignant) (indeterminate pulmonary nodules \[IPNs\]). The management of IPNs is based on estimating the likelihood that the observed nodule is malignant. Many things, such as age, smoking history, and current symptoms, are considered when making a prediction of the likelihood of malignancy. Radiographic imaging characteristics are also considered. Lung nodule management for IPNs can result in unnecessary invasive procedures for nodules that are ultimately determined to be benign, or potential delays in treatment when results of tests cannot be determined or are falsely negative. The Virtual Nodule Clinic is an artificial intelligence (AI) based imaging software within the electronic health record which makes certain that identified pulmonary nodules are screened by clinicians with expertise in nodule management. The Virtual Nodule Clinic also features an AI based radiomic prediction score which designates the likelihood that a pulmonary nodule is malignant. This may improve the ability to manage IPNs and lower unnecessary invasive procedures or treatment delays. Using the Virtual Nodule Clinic may work better for the management of IPNs. Read Less

This study is looking into how safe and useful NOCISCAN is. NOCISCAN is a software as a Service (SaaS) tool that uses Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Nociscan (instead of 'It') leverages MRS to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. The randomized controlled trial will compare the blinded and unblinded cohorts and their corresponding surgical outcomes with the Nocigram reports, generated prior to treatment, for each patient."

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if doxycycline taken as 200mg daily for 14 days is effective to treat early stage syphilis. This is different from how doxycycline is typically used for syphilis because the full doxycycline dose will be taken at the same time of day, rather than split up into a twice daily regimen. Lab data support that taking the medication as a single daily dose should be effective as treatment, but it has not been studied clinically. The main question this study aims to answer is: Is doxycycline taken as a single daily dose of 200mg for 14 days an effective treatment for early syphilis based on a combined outcome of clinical improvement and blood test improvement? Participants will: 1. Take doxycycline 200mg daily for 14 days 2. Submit oral and rectal swabs that test for syphilis bacteria every other day for 2 weeks, returned by mail 3. Complete 2 brief online surveys over the first 2 weeks 4. Return to the clinic for an interview and blood draw every 3 months for a maximum of 3 study visits, including the first visit The investigators will compare the percentage of participants in the study who have response to treatment by 6 months to that of persons who have received standard (CDC-recommended) regimens. To do this, the investigators will calculate response percentage estimates following a shot of long-acting penicillin or 14 days of doxycycline 100mg twice daily from 60-person samples from the sexual health program's records.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1195 in participants with multiple sclerosis. Read Less

This research study is testing a new behavioral therapy called Episodic Future Thinking or EFT can help people reduce drug use and risky sexual behaviors while helping them adhere to their HIV prevention medication (PrEP). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard care, which includes counseling on HIV prevention, drug use reduction, and sexual health. The other group will receive standard care plus a new program called Episodic Future Thinking (EFT), where participants will think about and plan for their future goals using a mobile app and counseling sessions. Study procedures that are not part of regular care include filling out surveys, providing blood, urine, and swab samples for testing, and using the EFT app. Read Less

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, lenacapavir (LEN). The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of long-acting LEN when combined with other medicines in adolescents and children living with HIV-1 who weigh at least 35 kg and have been treated before for HIV-1. The study will also see how easy it is for participants to take LEN as injection or an oral pill. The primary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of LEN in combination with optimized background regimen (OBR) in TE pediatric participants with HIV-1. Read Less

This phase III trial evaluates how often women develop insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes and compares metformin with usual care to usual care alone in treating insulin resistance in women with stage I-III breast cancer after chemotherapy. Insulin resistance occurs when cells stop responding to insulin and is a risk factor for developing diabetes and heart disease. Higher levels of insulin have been shown to be associated with aggressive breast cancer. Metformin hydrochloride decreases the amount of glucose (a type of sugar) released into the bloodstream from the liver and increases the body's use of the glucose. Metformin as well as standard of care diet and exercise education is known to lower blood sugar. However, chemotherapy may accelerate metabolic disorders, such as high blood sugar, and the impact of metformin in these breast cancer survivors is not known. Giving metformin with usual care may be more effective than usual care alone in preventing or reversing insulin resistance in women with stage I-III breast cancer after chemotherapy. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the DG1 spectacle lens for myopia progression control in children. * To assess if the DG1 lens will slow the progression of myopia through an adjusted mean difference (e.g., age and baseline SER) of approximately 0.75D in cycloplegic spherical equivalent autorefraction refractive error compared to single-vision (SV) spectacles over the study period. * To assess if DG1 lens will slow the progression of myopia through an adjusted mean difference (e.g., age and baseline SER) of approximately 0.3mm in axial elongation compared to SV over the study period. The clinical trial will compare DG1 spectacle lens to single vision spectacle lens. Participants will wear spectacle lenses and return for visits at regularly scheduled intervals through a 36-month follow up visit. All subjects who complete the 36-month visit will continue in the study for an additional 12 months for the rebound evaluation. Read Less
