Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability and chronic pain that reduces physical activity and daily activities. In this clinical research study, the goal is to learn more about geniculate artery (located in the knee) embolization (GAE) treatment to see if it will reduce pain as well as stiffness and difficulty performing daily activities caused by knee OA and if it can be performed safely.

Disruption of estrogen signaling by drugs called selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) is one of the treatment options for patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) cancers. Imlunestrant is a SERD that disrupts estrogen signaling, and therefore should stop or slow down tumor growth in ER+ cancers. This study will help answer research questions about the safety of imlunestrant and any side effects, and how imlunestrant compares to standard-of-care endocrine therapy.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the drug letrozole is better or worse than not receiving treatment (called observation) following surgery for your type of cancer. Letrozole could prevent your cancer from returning but the cancer could grow while on treatment. There is currently no definitive data to support the use of Letrozole treatment for early stage Leiomyosarcoma. Letrozole has already been FDA-approved to treat other cancers, but it is investigational in this research.

This study aims to reduce the radiotherapy (RT) dose necessary to successfully treat patients with intracranial germ cell tumors who are in a state of complete response (CR) following chemotherapy. In this study, a further reduction in whole ventricular irradiation (WVI) will be tested. The primary aim of the study is to determine whether 12 Gy of WVI, and 12 Gy tumor boost, would be successful. Event-free survival (EFS) in patients with central nervous system germinoma, who meet criteria for CR or continued complete response (CCR) following chemotherapy/second-look surgery, would be the primary measurement of success.

The purpose of this study is to see if sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab can improve outcomes and delay the return of disease in participants with high-risk early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) when compared to pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants with low tumor expression of the estrogen and/or progesterone receptors (1 to 10%) will also be included in this study. The study treatment will be chosen by chance—like flipping a coin. There is a 1 out of 2 chances to receive Sacituzumab govitecan in combination with Pembrolizumab and 1 out of 2 chances to receive a study treatment of study doctor’s choice of either pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab in combination with capecitabine. Participants and their study doctor will know what study drug is being taken.

We are doing this study because we want to find out if observation is as good as the usual care for breast cancer. The usual approach for patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive FDA-approved pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Participants will either get pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks, or will not receive any treatment and will be observed for up to 27 weeks. We will continue to follow participants every 6 months for 5 years and watch for side effects or cancer coming back. After that, participants will be checked every year for a total of 10 years after the study.

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 study looks at the use of an implanted brain stimulator for people who have treatment resistant depression. The change in brain function by EEG and symptoms of depression will be examined. This study is open to people 22-70 years old with Medicare or Medicare Advantage insurance.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder. This study will measure its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in participants with NMIBC who have failed or did not receive adequate Bacillus Calmette- Guérin (BCG) therapy. The study drug will be given into the lining of the bladder. This may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the cancer cells.

This study is being done to learn more about the influence of the menopausal transition on autonomic and vascular function in midlife females. Participants will have their vitals taken and height, weight and waist-to-hip ratio measurements done, complete questionnaires, have blood draws, have electrical activity of a nerve in the leg measured (optional), have blood vessel function measured in the arm, perform breathing exercises, and complete a cold pressor test (putting a hand in ice-cold water). Participants will also have a scan to measure body composition and bone density.

The purpose of this project is to provide new knowledge of the relationship between structural and functional changes in cortico-basal ganglia pathways and the severity of motor and non-motor deficits in humans with PD.

To determine the prognostic factors for visual outcome for newly diagnosed NF1-OPGs. Hypothesis: Patients (<18 years of age) with tumors involving the optic tracts and/or radiations will demonstrate worse visual outcomes compared to those without optic tract involvement.

The purpose of this study is to learn whether the use of Pregnyl with the drug ruxolitinib is able to reduce the need for high dose steroids to treat severe acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD).

This is a study of persons who do and do not stutter between ages 4 and 65 years. This study is trying to figure out how attention skills influence memory, language, and speech fluency skills.

The purpose of this study is to capture clinical information on how kidney disease affects the health of women, focusing on menstrual and reproductive health, the transition to menopause (the time when your menstrual periods stop permanently), and menopause itself. We also wish to learn more about how women’s health affects their kidney disease, bone and heart health.

This research study is for people who have Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and it is moderate or severe in intensity and have been treated with at least one conventional therapy for HS. This study involves the investigational drug SBT777101, which is created by genetically modifying a patient’s own immune cells. The word “investigational” means that this drug has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing. SBT777101 is being developed to treat people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

The purpose of this screening study is to collect samples to conduct the testing of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA). TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which the eligibility criteria require that participants have specific HLA types. The results from this screening study will be used to determine if participants meet the eligibility criteria and could potentially be enrolled in a future TScan treatment study.

The purpose of RESTORATiVE303 is to see if the study drug, which is called VE303, is safe and effective in preventing another episode of Clostridioides Difficile Infection (CDI). VE303 is an investigational drug that has 8 strains of live bacteria, called “commensals.” Commensals are the type of bacteria that live in harmony with the body, without harming health. These specific bacteria are often found in the intestines of normal, healthy people. They were selected for inclusion in VE303 because they rarely infect humans (mostly in very weakened patients), they do not carry any toxins that can make one sick, and they are not known to carry any risk of creating or spreading resistance to antibiotics.

This study is recruiting people who have developed an infection of the lower intestine (the colon) by bacteria called Clostridioides difficile (abbreviated C. difficile or C. diff). The standard treatment for this infection is with antibiotics, but in some people, the infection keeps coming back. The purpose of this research is to test whether an investigational drug can prevent a return of the infection. We want to make sure LMN-201 is safe when used as part of standard of care for C. diff, and we want to see if we can improve treatment and reduce re-infection.

We are hoping to gain a better understanding of what patients with cancer, their care givers, and clinicians value and how they make decisions regarding different treatment options. We are interested in your opinion since you understand what it is like for people to undergo cancer treatment. You will be asked a series of questions that will take about 30 minutes.

To determine the prevalence, type, and severity of chronic health conditions (CHC) in survivors of Down syndrome-associated acute leukemia (DS-AL), and to compare CHC with frequency-matched DS individuals that have no cancer history.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about lung problems after bone marrow transplant including what are the best methods for diagnosing lung problems and follow-up care. The lung problems that may develop after transplant varies from patient to patient, and we don’t exactly know what risk factors influence who develops them or how patients respond to pulmonary (breathing system) therapies. Also, we wish to improve how we monitor lung function and quality of life after transplant, especially in children and young adults.

We will examine whether the benefits of brain stimulation on mental functioning can be enhanced if an individual is actively engaging the target brain networks while receiving brain stimulation. The study includes two separate sessions and people will complete either a cognitive task or a perceptual task while we are measuring the change in brain function with EEG. Please fill out the linked screening questionnaire to determine if you are eligible.

To evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria in adult participants with IgAN

The purpose of the study is to compare two surgical procedures and their ability to decrease the risk of developing ovarian cancer for pre-menopausal women with BRCA1 mutations.

This research is being done to determine whether not taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery is less effective compared to taking oral prophylactic antibiotics after surgery in preventing urinary tract infections (UTI) within 90 days after surgery. We will divide study participants randomly (similar to tossing a coin) into two groups; one group not receiving postoperative prophylactic antibiotics and the other group receiving prophylactic antibiotics postoperatively. Both groups will receive the exact same preparation before surgery, care during the day of surgery care, postoperative care, and care after hospital discharge.

The primary purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose of GTB-3650. The study also provides preliminary disease response information for larger future studies. GTB-3650 is designed to target CD33 on leukemia/MDS cells. Cancer cells must overexpress CD33 (also referred to as CD33+), a marker found in some blood/bone marrow cancers. Based on similar studies and lab studies, it is felt there is a chance of benefit from the study treatment but the duration of benefit is unknown.

This study is to investigate if robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery), is worse than open surgery (otherwise known as a laparotomy) when performing a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Previous research has been done and shown that patients receiving laparoscopy had an increased risk of recurrence of their cervical cancer. But since that time a lot has been learned and improvements have been made, hence why we are relooking at the differences between the two surgical approaches.

We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

This is a small, Phase 0, window of opportunity study to provide human experience to support our pre-clinical data and gain preliminary information regarding the safety and tolerability of mirdametinib and vorinostat when given in combination.
