Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is common in older people and vastly reduces quality of life, yet the cause and mechanism of disease are not well understood. This study will investigate the role of adding behavioral sleep intervention to the standard pharmacotherapy in treatment of UUI among older adults, and the brain mechanisms involved in continence by evaluating brain changes. This will expand the current knowledge of how the sleep affects bladder control, and better characterize the brain mechanisms in maintaining continence. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to find out whether photobiomodulation/PBM therapy using the Thor LX2.3 therapy system is a safe and effective treatment for oral Graft-Versus-Host Disease/GVHD. Read Less

Residual tumor at the proximal or distal margin after esophagectomy is a known prognostic factor for poor survival outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer; however, the significance of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) remains controversial. In this study, the investigators sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of the CRM in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing resection. Read Less

A major challenge to seeking treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is the withdrawal symptoms associated with cessation of opioid use. The signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal include irritability, anxiety, muscular and abdominal pains, chills, nausea, diarrhea, yawning, runny eyes and nose, sweating, sneezing, weakness, and insomnia. The current gold standard of treatment involves a gradual reduction of the opioid drug dosage (tapering). However, as all opioids have potential for abuse and require careful dosing due to side effects (e.g., respiratory depression), a non-opioid medication to facilitate withdrawal severity would be of great value. Commonly used non-opioid medications like lofexidine have concerning side effects including sedation and low blood pressure. BioXcel Therapeutics has developed BXCL501 (dexmedetomidine: sublingual film) to reduce symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Dexmedetomidine is currently used as an intravenous anesthetic for its anxiety-reducing, sedative, and analgesic properties. The current study will seek to compare the safety and efficacy of BXCL501 relative to lofexidine and placebo in subjects with OUD who are physically dependent on opioids. Throughout a 7-day inpatient withdrawal period (using a methadone taper) opioid-dependent participants will receive sublingual BXCL501, placebo, or lofexidine. In comparison to lofexidine, dexmedetomidine is expected to have a superior safety profile with limited adverse effects on blood pressure and heart rhythm. Three sites will participate in this study: NYSPI, Clinilabs, Inc., and Yale University. The NYSPI site is currently paused and has been paused since an institutional pause on human subjects research began in June 2023. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) issued an FWA restriction on NYSPI research that also included a pause of human subjects research as of June 23, 2023.

This study is being done to examine the safety and effectiveness of pirtobrutinib combined with venetoclax as a possible treatment for participants with Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Pirtobrutinib (a Noncovalent Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor) * Venetoclax (a BCL2 inhibitor) Read Less

This is a Prospective, multi-center study enrolling adults subjects presented to the ED/Urgent care, with symptoms consistent with lower respiratory infection (LRTI). The reason of this study is to demonstrate the MeMed BV can help clinicians make decisions about using antibiotics in patients with lower respiratory track infections and see how it would impact clinical outcomes, antibiotics use, hospitalizations, ED clinicians find ways to improve health and medical care.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare antifungal therapy duration in pediatric uncomplicated candidemia. The specific aims are: * Compare the desirability of outcome ranking in children with uncomplicated candidemia randomized to 7 additional days of antifungal therapy (standard-course) versus no additional antifungal therapy (short-course) after already receiving 7 days of echinocandin therapy. * Compare the 14-day desirability of outcome measure for subjects with a negative and those with a positive T2Candida® biomarker at day 7 of therapy within randomized groups. Participants meeting eligibility criteria will be approached and consented between day 5 and 7 of primary systemic antifungal therapy. On day 7 of primary systemic antifungal therapy, inclusion and exclusion criteria will again be reviewed for consented patients and those still eligible will be randomized 1:1 to the two study arms. Researchers will compare no additional antifungal therapy (short-course) versus 7 additional days of systemic antifungal therapy (standard-course) in pediatric patients with uncomplicated candidemia who have already received 7 days of primary systemic antifungal therapy to see if shorter durations are as effective as longer durations in treating uncomplicated candidemia.

The primary objective of this study is to: * Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 305 in adult participants * Determine the optimal biologically active dose (OBD), at or below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with MTD 1 as the maximum tolerated starting dose and MTD 2 as the maximum tolerated target dose * Determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) Read Less

The purpose of this study is to adapt, implement and evaluate a trauma and violence informed care intervention designed for Black women in middle Tennessee. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial (phase 2/phase 3) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of emetine administered orally for symptomatic Covid-19 patients in patients ages 30 years and above. Participants will be asked to: * Take Emetine 6mg orally for 10 consecutive days * Be monitored by healthcare staff or self-monitor for daily vital signs and symptoms * Undergo blood draws Researchers will compare the control group given placebo medicine to assess if emetine improved the symptoms of Covid-19.

The goal of this project is to use newly developed patient-reported outcomes to improve the clinical care of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The use of new patient-centered tools will improve evaluation and clinical decision-making by including symptoms not commonly measured in men, such as urinary incontinence, and allow for more frequent assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms through remote surveillance. Through the use of care-coordination checklists, clinicians can be more responsive to post-treatment symptom changes, resulting in reduced bother from lower urinary tract symptoms and higher quality of life in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
