The purpose of this multicenter study is to compare outcomes between patients who will undergo different types of ACL reconstruction. All patients will have a tendon from their own knee used to reconstruct the ACL. Prior to knee surgery, researchers will randomize (i.e. a coin toss) to determine if ACL reconstruction will be done with patellar or quadriceps tendon and if the lateral extra-articular tenodesis will or will not be added to the ACL surgery. We will follow-up with participants as they undergo treatment and recovery after surgery for 2 years.

PR001A is designed to deliver a normal GBA1 gene copy into the body to increase the activity of GCase, which is low in Type 2 Gaucher Disease (GD2) patients. The new GBA1 gene will remain a child’s body cells for many years and possibly for the rest of their life. A participant will need one surgery during which the study drug will be given and will stay in the hospital for at least 48 hours following the surgery.

This research is being completed to examine the cells, brain imaging, and speech in individuals with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder who are taking serotonergic medications such as Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine and Sertraline. The purpose of examining these is to try and see if we can predict signs of Dementia with Lewy bodies (a progressive form of dementia with an increase in decline of thinking, reasoning, and other functions). This may benefit others by enabling us to diagnose Dementia with Lewy Bodies sooner rather than later.

This study will be measuring brain activity using EEG and assessing motor skills and speech in children following cancerous brain tumor resection. No direct cancer treatments or objectives are being targeted.

TrialNet is an international research group dedicated to the study, prevention, and early treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is now understood as a disease that develops over time in stages. Stage 1 starts with the appearance of having two or more autoantibodies. This is followed by Stage 2, which is the development of abnormal blood glucose levels. Stage 3 is the clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. This study will help us learn more about how Type 1 diabetes occurs through the screening of diabetes-related autoantibodies and monitoring individuals who have tested positive for these autoantibodies.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AccuCinch Ventricular Restoration System in patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

The purpose of this study is to establish a registry and biobank to study monoclonal gammopathy and amyloidosis. We aim to understand better the changes these diseases cause, the symptoms they present, and the clinical progression to be able to better prevent them and treat them in the future.

This study will look at an investigational study drug, called olorofim, to determine how safe the study drug is, how well it is tolerated and whether it is effective compared to AmBisome® (a standard of care treatment) to treat invasive fungal disease (IFD). We expect that you will be in this research study for up to 18 weeks or just over 4 months.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of megestrol alone, or combined with metformin, on the growth of Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN). Participants will receive medication directed against EIN prior to the planned procedure (hysterectomy or progestin IUD placement). Women will receive either megestrol acetate pills by mouth twice a day for 3 to 5 weeks, or megestrol acetate and metformin pills twice a day by mouth for 3 to 5 weeks.

This is a long-term registry is designed to collect data on hypophosphatasia (HPP) to better understand the condition and learn more about the disease, how patients feel about living with HPP and effect of HPP on the patients wellbeing and health. The study will look at participant’s medical records and health questionnaires about the health status of patients. This study collects observational data from clinical care and does not involve any treatment for HPP or administration of medication for HPP.

The purpose of this Health Participant Registry is to collect the names, contact information and answers to safety screening questions that assist in the determination of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility of individuals who have expressed interest in MR research.

There is evidence that dysfunction of the diaphragm following COVID infection that leads to the shortness of breath and chest tightness. The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. This study involves muscle stretching of the diaphragm and associated muscles to improve the quality of respiration. Half of the participants will receive PT twice a week, for 12 weeks, for 1 hour (in person) and a half hour via telehealth. A control group will undergo traditional treatment as recommended by your provider.

The purpose of this study is to describe current knowledge and opinions about anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men (MSM), as well as their experience receiving guideline-compliant care aimed at anal cancer risk reduction using a large-scale survey disseminated via social media.

The purpose of the study is to test new biomarkers of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) using MRI scans at 3 tesla (3T). Identifying biomarkers of a disease can lead to a better understanding of the disease as well as improved treatments.

This study is about a genetic condition called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The first goal of this study is to understand more about how ALD affects a child’s brain and development in childhood as they take part in medical care and monitoring. This is important to identify the optimal ways to detect and treat manifestations of ALD such as cerebral ALD. The second goal is to learn about how ALD affects caregivers, so that clinicians can offer better support to families in the future. We will also have healthy comparisons to help to learn more about the condition (ALD) being studied, by comparing the information collected to a child without the condition.

One treatment for certain types of chronic pancreatitis is total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT). In this procedure, the pancreas is removed (eliminating the source of the pain) and the islets, which produce insulin and other important hormones, are taken from the pancreas and transplanted in to the liver. This is a small study to evaluate a new procedure for transplanting some islets to a new location in the body.

This is a treatment protocol for an unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen for the treatment of hematological diseases, including, but not limited to acute leukemias. There is no research element except the collection of routine clinical data.

This trial compares the effect of bevacizumab and osimertinib combination vs. osimertinib alone for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lungs and has a change (mutation) in a gene called EGFR. Sometimes, mutations in this gene cause EGFR proteins to be made in higher than normal amounts on some types of cancer cells. This causes cancer cells to divide more rapidly.

The purpose of this study is to test a new drug, called ST-920, to see if it is safe and if it works to treat Fabry disease. ST-920 is a gene therapy treatment, which means that ST-920 replaces the missing or broken gene you have because you have Fabry disease, with a version or copy that works.

We are comparing treatment of early stage, hormone positive breast cancer with and without radiation therapy. One group will receive radiation therapy with endocrine therapy and the other group will receive endocrine therapy alone. We want to find out if there is any difference in how often breast cancer recurs in the same breast.

The current study is designed to determine which strategy (regular screening or screening only in the presence of symptoms) is more effective in preventing heart attacks in kidney transplant candidates. Another goal of the study is to determine whether biomarker tests are able to predict the need for regular CAD screening tests.

The goal of this study is to understand how urine and bladder tissue changes from infection, or a bladder that does not function normally, in people who use a catheter to empty their bladder. This may help future people because it can help determine who needs antibiotics to treat an infection in the bladder, and will help avoid the cost and side effects of using antibiotics in people who do not have a true infection. This study will take less than 1 hour – the time required to provide a urine sample in clinic. Or, if a participant is undergoing bladder Botox injection, the time necessary to participate in the study will add approximately 5 minutes to the total surgery time.

The purpose of this research study is to find out how many people with acute pancreatitis develop diabetes. Risk factors for diabetes and the types of diabetes that occur after acute pancreatitis will also be studied. A small number of people who already had diabetes before their acute pancreatitis attack will be enrolled for comparison.

We are studying how well radiation therapy with or without olaparib works in treating people with inflammatory breast cancer. Olaparib may keep cancer cells from repairing themselves, making them die. We want to see if adding this drug to radiation therapy is more effective.

We are enrolling people who have had complete surgical removal of a stage II or stage III colorectal cancer. We will draw blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to find out if this blood test can be used to detect recurrence of the cancer. People will be followed for at least 3 years and up to 5 years.

This study compares treatment outcomes between patients of African American/Black (AA) ancestry and European American/White (EA) ancestry currently receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Collecting samples of blood and saliva and health and treatment information from racially diverse patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment over time may help doctors better understand health care disparities among all cancer patients.

We are studying different drugs for the treatment of nausea and vomiting that is caused by chemotherapy treatment of people who have breast cancer.

We are comparing the effectiveness of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab compared to the usual chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). The drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells. We will compare how well the treatment regimens work and the side effects that occur.

We are studying an internet-based pain coping skills program with pain education for cancer survivors who have persistent pain. Pain severity and interference will be compared to people who receive only pain education. The pain coping program has 8 sessions that are completed in the first 10 weeks of starting the study. The group that receives only pain education will receive access to the program after 6 months. Everyone is followed for 9 months
