This study is being done to better understand how amino acids alter the release of glucagon and insulin compared to glucose alone in health and disease. Read Less

The purpose of this clinical research study is to examine whether embolization treatment of an elbow artery is a safe and effective way to treat elbow pain, specifically pain from tennis elbow. Embozene is a medical device made by Varian marketed in the United States for the treatment of hypervascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations. It consists of thousands of microscopic spheres that are injected into the artery to block the flow of blood to a specific region. One of the causes of pain in the setting of tennis elbow is increased blood flow going to the specific area of pain. In this study, we will investigate an experimental procedure to decrease the blood flow (embolize) to the specific region of the elbow that is causing the pain. This will be done by infusing Embozene particles into the specific blood vessel supplying the area of pain in the elbow. This is an investigational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elbow artery embolization (EAE) for the treatment of symptomatic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Read Less

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of ADG126-pembrolizumab combination regimens in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. Read Less

This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for malignant rhabdoid tumor, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma or other tumors that are deficient in one of two possible proteins, either INI-1 (SMARCB1) or SMARCA4. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK) * Nivolumab (OPDIVO) * Ipilimumab (YERVOY) Read Less

Caloric restriction (and RYGB) improves insulin action and lowers fasting glucose, glucagon and EGP, without changes in postprandial EGP and glucagon concentrations. Caloric restriction also improves hepatic steatosis and lowers fasting AA. These changes may represent restoration of glucagon's hepatic actions. This experiment will determine whether caloric restriction improves glucagon's actions on hepatic amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in T2DM in comparison to a baseline experiment performed separately in people with T2DM.

A Feasibility Study to Evaluate Safety and Probable Benefit of the Eclipse XL1 System for Distraction Enterogenesis in Adult and Pediatric Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome Read Less

An anticipated 200 women with newly diagnosed ovarian and endometrial cancer scheduled to receive chemotherapy (adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery) will be recruited from Smilow Cancer Hospital Network at Yale Cancer Center (YCC) and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) at University of Miami. Participants will be randomized to an exercise and medical nutrition intervention arm with weekly counseling sessions throughout chemotherapy, or a control arm. Study assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-chemotherapy/end of intervention and at 1-year post diagnosis. Women who are prescribed neoadjuvant therapy will have additional assessments prior to surgery. Data required to calculate the primary endpoint (relative dose intensity of chemotherapy) will be abstracted from the medical record directly following each chemotherapy session. Read Less

This project includes a parallel group randomized controlled trial comparing two psychological treatments: 1) Exposure-based Family Therapy (IE) vs. 2) Family Based Therapy (FBT) for low weight eating disorders with 12 month follow-up. Primary outcomes are expected body weight and clinical impairment. Three mechanisms of change (Autonomous Eating, Non-Judgmental Body Awareness, and Extinction Learning) will be examined in a process mediation models of change. Read Less

To find the highest tolerable dose of JV-213 (a type of autologous CAR T cell therapy) that can be given to patients who have B-cell lymphoma that is relapsed or refractory. Read Less

This trial plans to learn more about the effects of a medication, semaglutide, on cardiovascular function, kidney function, and insulin sensitivity in adults with type 1 diabetes. This medication has been effective in reducing cardiovascular disease and diabetic kidney disease and improving glucose control and BMI in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study aims to look at how well the medication works in people with type 1 diabetes. Semaglutide is not approved by the FDA to be used in this way. These procedures are considered to be experimental. Read Less

Background: Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an inherited disease that affects the bone marrow. People with DBA have chronic anemia that can be severe. Many must have frequent transfusions of red blood cells. Current treatments for DBA all have risks of serious side effects. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a new drug (bitopertin) in people with DBA. Eligibility: People aged 18 or older with DBA. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam; they will have blood tests and a test of their heart function. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: An area of their hip will be numbed, and a needle will be inserted to remove a sample of tissue from inside the bone. Bitopertin is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug once a day every day for 8 months. They will start with a low dose of the drug; the dosage may increase gradually over time. They will keep a diary to record each dose. Participants will have blood tests every 4 weeks. This may be done in the clinic. Participants may also have telehealth visits; they can have blood drawn at a local lab and sent to the researchers. The bone marrow biopsy and other tests will be repeated after 8 months. Participants who have a positive response to bitopertin will be invited to enter an extended phase of the trial. They may continue to take the drug for 3 more years. Those who choose not to continue in the extended phase may have a follow-up visit 6 months after they stop taking the drug. Read Less
