All Clinical Trials

Overview. The investigators will collect preliminary data on the extent to which the knowledge gained from the enhanced HH-VSTS transfers to a real-world environment. Following abbreviated use of the enhanced HH-VSTS, participants will perform a walk-through of a realistic environment to assess their learning. Read Less

This is a pragmatic randomized control trial to evaluate the BETTER intervention compared to standard obstetrical care (control) to determine whether it helps to reduce maternal anemia and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. The BETTER intervention includes one motivational interviewing session and bi-weekly text messages to encourage patients to connect with resources that address their social needs, including housing, food, and transportation. Quantitative data will be used to study participant outcomes, including surveys, and electronic health record data. Read Less

This open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial will assess the safety and efficacy of related donor adenovirus-specific T lymphocytes isolated from whole blood or leukapheresis products. The adenovirus-specific T lymphocytes will be generated automatically by the CliniMACS Prodigy using the CliniMACS Cytokine Capture System (IFN-γ) after incubation with MACS GMP PepTivator Peptide Pools of Hexon 5 for enrichment.

Sleep deprivation is a major problem in military populations. Some major consequences of sleep loss are inability to concentrate, poor work efficiency, and increase in errors during daily tasks. Ketogenic supplementation is speculated to alleviate some sleep deprivation issues via action of ketones. Ketones are small molecules that appear in the blood when following a ketogenic diet or consuming ketone supplements. The goal of this project is to find out if diet and/or ketones can improve sleep deprivation detriments over 5 days of sleep restriction (-50% from habitual sleep). Read Less

This phase II study compares the order of treatment with ivosidenib or enasidenib and azacitidine plus venetoclax in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia with genetic changes in the IDH1 or IDH2 genes (IDH mutated). Ivosidenib is in a class of medications called isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) inhibitors. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Enasidenib is in a class of medications called an IDH2 inhibitor. It also works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. This study may help researchers determine which treatment order is best for older patients with IDH mutated acute myeloid leukemia: 1) ivosidenib or enasidenib followed by azacitidine plus venetoclax; or 2) azacitidine plus venetoclax followed by ivosidenib or enasidenib.

Each patient will receive up to 12 cycles of TGFβi NK cell infusions. Each cycle will be of 4 weeks duration. During the first 3 weeks, TGFβi NK cells will be infused once weekly. The 4th week will be a rest week. TGFβi NK cell infusions should be delivered at least 3 days apart (e.g., Friday of Week 1 and Monday of Week 2). Dose will be escalated in an inter-patient stepwise fashion consisting of 3 dose levels. Read Less

This is a Phase 1 study with Phase 2 expansion cohort. Phase 1 will assess the safety and tolerability of universal donor TGFβi NK Cell in combination with irinotecan, temozolomide, and dinituximab. The phase 2 of the study will estimate the response to treatment. Read Less

This clinical trial evaluates the characteristics of oral nicotine pouches (ONPs) to determine if they are a comparable substitute to cigarette or smokeless tobacco (ST) products. ONPs contain nicotine but no tobacco and are used primarily by adult tobacco uses in the United States (US). ONPs are recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as having lower risk than combustible cigarettes and are approved as a modified risk tobacco product. While ONPs have lower toxic risk than other tobacco products, acute and longer term harm related to their use has not been studied. Information gathered from this study may identify product characteristics of ONPs that improve successful switching from high-risk cigarettes or ST to lower risk ONPs. Read Less

This is a mixed methods, prospective longitudinal pilot RCT to evaluate the 1) acceptability of a newly developed mHealth app (BMT4me), 2) the feasibility of enrolling and retaining caregivers of children in the acute phase post-HSCT, and 3) the potential efficacy of an mHealth app on adherence to immunosuppressants in post-HSCT children discharged during the acute phase.

This study will look at the effects of amantadine on cognitive function in persons with Long COVID. It will also collect specimens to study possible causes of cognitive symptoms in Long COVID, and whether any lab tests can predict who will respond better to amantadine. Read Less

The goal of this interrupted time series quasi-experimental design study is to implement universal opt- out HIV testing and linkage to HIV preventive care in 15-21 year old adolescents visiting the pediatric emergency department (ED). The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. What is the uptake, reach and effectiveness of universally offered, opt-out HIV screening across pediatric EDs after implementing an adapted version of a tablet-based screening process? 2. What is the successful linkage to comprehensive HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care using a novel, digital health platform? Participants will 1. Complete the previously developed and validated computerized sexual health screen (cSHS) containing questions regarding their personal sexual health history 2. Have the opportunity to opt-out of clinician-ordered HIV testing 3. Patients meeting CDC criteria for HIV PrEP will be given the opportunity to enroll in the digital health PrEP linkage platform and followed for 3 months after enrollment. Read Less

The goal of this interventional study is to develop and test a treatment prognosis calculator to identify which service members with suicidal ideation or behavior are likely to respond well to the current standard of care treatment and which should instead receive Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) as a first-line treatment. The main aims of the study are: * Aim 1: To develop a novel treatment prognostic calculator to predict response to treatment as usual (TAU) and identify treatment-seeking military personnel who are unlikely to respond adequately to TAU for the reduction of suicidal ideation. * Aim 2: To evaluate the performance of the treatment prognosis calculator in a new sample of treatment-seeking military personnel and determine whether BCBT is more effective than TAU for those patients who are predicted not to respond adequately to TAU. Participants will receive mental health treatment as it is typically administered by their mental healthcare treatment team. Members of their mental healthcare treatment team may receive intensive training in BCBT. After their provider has received this training, they may use this treatment as part of standard of care treatment. The timing of this training will be determined randomly. Participants will complete self-report assessments at the beginning of the study (baseline) as well as 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after their participant begins. These assessments will include questions about feelings, thoughts, moods, impulses, substance use, and behavior. Read Less
