The primary objective is to determine the incidence of grade II-IV acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) by Day 100 using an alpha/beta T cell depleted peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) and without routine GVHD prophylaxis.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to better detect and monitor osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) before and after treatment. ONFH causes injury to the hip joint that can lead to osteoarthritis (the breaking/wearing down of cartilage & tissues within the joint) and the eventual need for a hip replacement.
It can be difficult to detect ONFH early on using current medical imaging techniques, which is when treatments may be the most effective. Furthermore, available treatments are not always effective at preventing the progression (spread or growth) of ONFH.
This research may benefit others with ONFH by providing more effective medical imaging tools to detect ONFH earlier and inform treatment decisions to increase the chance of stopping or delaying the progression of ONFH and preventing hip osteoarthritis.

This is a non-significant risk device study to evaluate the performance of a new non-invasive device for monitoring of cardiac function (called the Cardiac Performance System, based on a previous iteration called the “Integrated CardioRespiratory System” FDA 510(k) K173156). Measurements of cardiac output, pulmonary artery pressure, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure from the Cardiac Performance System (CPS) will be compared to those from cardiac catheterization. CPS measurements will take place adjacent to the catheterization lab before entering the lab while the patient is being prepared. This is a relatively low-impact study requiring only a minimal amount of additional time.

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are commonly used in treating hormone-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, many patients receiving this treatment experience Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS), with symptoms like joint and bone pain and joint stiffness. The current therapies used to improve AIMSS symptoms have limited effectiveness and can cause their own side effects.
In this research study, we are examining the feasibility of topical medical cannabis cream as a treatment option for AIMSS.

Patients aged 18 years old and above. Eligibility is restricted to this age group given that the battery of neurocognitive tests utilized in this protocol are not developed or validated for use in a younger population.
One to four newly diagnosed brain metastases, identified on the screening MRI, from an extracranial primary tumor.
One lesion, designated the index lesion, is planned for surgical resection and is to be between 2.5 cm and 5.0 cm on the screening MRI. Index lesions > 2.0 cm but <2.5 cm are also eligible if surgery is deemed clinically necessary and appropriate for an attempted gross total resection by the neurosurgeon.
Non-index lesions must measure < 4.0 cm in maximal extent on the screening MRI brain scan. The unresected lesions will be treated with SRT as outlined in the treatment section of the concept.
All metastases must be located > 5 mm from the optic chiasm and outside the brainstem. Dural based metastasis are eligible.
Previous and/or concurrent treatment with systemic therapies (e.g., chemotherapy, targeted therapeutics, immunotherapy) is permitted and must follow protocol guidelines as follows: Systemic therapy is allowed a minimum of one week from last systemic therapy cycle to surgical resection, and one week after surgical resection to allow a minimum of one week before starting/resuming systemic therapy, depending on the specific systemic agent(s), as recommended by medical/neuro-oncology. Systemic therapy is not allowed 1 day before SRT, the same day as the SRT, or 1 day after the completion of the SRT or longer, depending on the specific systemic agent(s), as recommended by medical/neuro-oncology. Agents that are delivered by implant or depot injections (such as hormonal therapies) are excluded from these restrictions.
KPS score of ≥70.

Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to employ adequate contraception throughout the study and for men for up to 3 months after completing treatment.
Subjects must be fluent in English or Spanish language. English speaking subjects will complete Neurocognitive assessments. Non-English speaking subjects will not complete the Neurocognitive assessments as the psychometric properties for translated tests are either not known or not as robust.

Exclusion Criteria
Age <18 years.

This is a Phase III, randomised, adjudicator-blinded, multicentre, active comparator, parallel, two-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with olorofim versus treatment with AmBisome® followed by SOC in ITT patients with proven IA at any site or probable lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) IA where:
(i) Therapy with a mould-active azole is inappropriate
OR a non-azole antifungal is required,
AND
(ii) For whom the site Investigator agrees that therapy with AmBisome® at 3 mg/kg/day followed by SOC would be an appropriate treatment.
Approximately 225 patients (150 to receive olorofim and 75 to receive AmBisome®) will be enrolled at approximately 100 centres globally over a period of approximately 30 months.
The study is comprised of a screening period, a treatment period of up to 84 days (± 7 days), and a safety follow-up (FU) period of 4 weeks ± 7 days. The maximum duration of the study for any individual patient is approximately 18 weeks

In this study, brepocitinib will be compared to a placebo. Brepocitinib is an investigational medicine because it has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency for use. Researchers will compare the results of taking the placebo to the results of taking the study medicine to see if there are any differences. This medicine may be helpful for your disease, but we do not have any information about this yet.
67% of participants will receive brepocitinib and 33% will receive the placebo which will be decided randomly by chance.
Participation will last for up to 64 weeks (15 months). Visits will be scheduled about every 4 to 6 weeks.

The primary objective for this observational study is to collect general and medical data from children, adolescents, and young adults who had pediatric onset rheumatic disease. This data will be used to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of therapeutic agents used to treat these diseases. This information will allow investigators to accurately report and follow changes in current medication use patterns and compare these to proposed standards and current treatment recommendations. The use of a single registry will allow for more analysis of the different therapeutic agents by allowing them to be compared to each other.

This study will compare the effectiveness and durability of intensive behavioral counseling vs. medical management plus low-intensity behavioral counseling on BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and quality of life in adolescents with severe obesity. We hypothesize that liraglutide plus low-intensity behavioral counseling will elicit superior reductions in BMI (primary efficacy endpoint) and body fat and greater improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors and quality of life compared to intensive behavioral counseling at 56 weeks.

The Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) is a prospective cohort study, whose goal is to use kidney biopsies, along with clinical medical data, to develop new disease classification systems, and treatments for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The University of Minnesota KPMP site will focus on recruiting participants with CKD associated with type 1 diabetes (CKD-T1D), type 2 diabetes (CKD-T2D), or hypertension (CKD-HTN), in addition to recruiting participants with resilient type 1 diabetes (Res-T1D). People with Res-T1D have had type 1 diabetes for many years and no clinical signs of CKD.
Both AKI and CKD are conditions that impose a significant global health burden. Yet, no effective therapies currently exist for AKI, and only a few are available for CKD. To address this need, KPMP will obtain kidney biopsy tissue, blood, urine, and stool samples, and medical data from study participants.
The network will utilize state-of-the-art methods to perform analysis on the samples collected to define kidney disease subgroups in molecular terms by identifying critical cells, pathways and targets for novel therapies.
