Strength and Muscle Related Outcomes for Nutrition and Lung Function in CF (STRONG-CF)

There are currently two main ways of measuring nutrition in the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) population: body mass index (BMI) and laboratory values. This study plans to look at more ways to measure nutrition, and body composition, like the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in your body. One of the ways we will measure these items is by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, which is a type of x-ray. This study hopes to provide researchers with more detailed information about nutrition and body composition in adults with CF.

Efficacy of Belimumab and Rituximab Compared to Rituximab Alone for the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy (REBOOT)

People with Primary MN lose more protein in their urine because the filters in their kidneys may be damaged. It is possible that some belimumab may also be lost in the urine because of this. This study will measure belimumab in the blood to decide if people with high urine protein should receive a higher dose of belimumab. Another purpose of this study is to help learn about whether the combination of belimumab and rituximab treatment is effective in making and keeping Primary MN inactive.

A Minimal-Risk, Multi-Center, Prospective, Clinical Trial to Evaluate the PrevisEA Device for Predicting Gastrointestinal Impairment

This device listens to and records abdominal sounds, which provides data that can help predict gastrointestinal impairment (GII). GII is a condition that is defined as the failure of oral re-feeding after abdominal surgery. This happens when any of the following events happen beyond 24-hours after abdominal surgery; vomiting, need to reverse the diet, or need to place a nasogastric (NG) tube.

Evaluate the perspectives of cancer survivor patients and caregivers on using an intrathecal drug delivery system as a continuum of pain management care using a qualitative study.

Targeted medication delivery near the spinal cord (intrathecal pump) may be offered for cancer pain treatment in carefully selected patients. Prior studies showed an improved functional status reduction in oral medications and their side effects. Cancer survivors receiving intrathecal pump treatment for pain are eligible to participate in the research and share their stories. After consenting, a interview (45 minutes by zoom) will be conducted before and after the treatment to improve our understanding of patient perceptions of pain treatment with an intrathecal pump.

Phase II Multi-Institutional Study of Low-Dose (2Gy x 2) Palliative Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Symptomatic Bone metastases from Multiple Myeloma

There is no consensus on the radiation dose required to relieve the pain from bone lesions from multiple myeloma. Usually, patients receive between 10 and 12 radiation treatments to achieve pain relief. But a shorter course of radiotherapy may be more effective. This study will evaluate whether pain relief can be achieved using only 1 or 2 radiation treatments, which will be delivered to a painful bone lesion. Your study doctor will decide whether you receive 1 or 2 treatments. The total amount of radiation you will receive will be the same whether it is done in one or two treatment sessions.

Neuroplasticity in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

REM sleep behavior disorder may predict the eventual symptom development of Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy. This occurs over years to decades and the sleep disorder may hide other typical symptoms and result in a delay in diagnosis. We are studying the changes in the brain over two years. We will do high field MRI’s (7T) and other tests of neurological function of people who have REM sleep disorder and people who don’t have this disorder (matched for age and sex).

COG ARST2031: A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Vinorelbine, Dactinomycin, and Cyclophosphamide (VINO-AC) Plus Maintenance Chemotherapy with Vinorelbine and Oral Cyclophosphamide (VINO-CPO) vs Vincristine, Dactinomycin and Cyclophosphamide (VAC) plus VINO-CPO Maintenance in Patients with High Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma (HR-RMS)

This phase III trial compares the safety and effect of adding vinorelbine to vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) for the treatment of patients with high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). High risk refers to cancer that is likely to recur (come back) after treatment or spread to other parts of the body. This study will also examine if adding maintenance therapy after VAC therapy, with or without vinorelbine, will help get rid of the cancer and/or lower the chance that the cancer comes back. Vinorelbine and vincristine are in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. Vinorelbine, vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide are chemotherapy medications that work by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. This trial may have the potential to eliminate rhabdomyosarcoma for a long time or for the rest of patient's life.

Neural mechanisms of early visual dysfunction in psychosis

The purpose of this study is to look at symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors related to the way a person sees the world. This is called visual perception. This study will also look at brain function. We will study these things in people with and without psychosis. People with psychosis see the world differently than others. For example, they may experience hallucinations. We are interested in understanding how differences in the way people see the world relate to brain circuits. This project will use visual and behavioral experiments, EEG, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to look at how visual perception is different in people with and without psychosis. This research study has three visits lasting 2-4 hours each. We expect that these visits will take place over 2-3 months, depending on your availability and preferences.
