The goal of this study is to provide comprehensive longitudinal assessments of a cohort of PD patients before, during, and after DBS surgery, including neurological, neurophysiological, and neuropsychological data.

This study is for people who have essential tremor and will be receiving the Boston Scientific Vercise Genus deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. We are studying the possibility that a kind of deep brain stimulation called "coordinated reset" stimulation (CR-DBS) will be more effective than current DBS treatment for essential tremor. We expect that participants will be in this research study for about 9 to 11 months.

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.

This trial is an open label, randomized, stratified 2-arm Australian-led multicenter phase 3 clinical trial undertaken in two stages. Participants (age >= 11 years and <= 45 years) with intermediate and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumors will be randomized into either a “standard BEP” group or “accelerated BEP” group. Participants will be assigned to the two treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio and evaluated weekly, and then for 5 years after completing the study to assess the long-term effects of the chemotherapy. Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). BEP is accelerated by cycling Cisplatin and etoposide 2-weekly instead of 3-weekly. The aim of this study is to determine if accelerated BEP is superior to standard BEP as first-line chemotherapy for intermediate and poor risk metastatic GCTs.

We are looking at measures of frailty (including an assessment questionnaire and other data from the medical record) and the relationship to outcomes from cardiac or vascular surgery. The questionnaire will take about 10 minutes to complete and we will contact you by phone once every three months for one year after your surgery.

There is an urgent public health need to reduce our reliance on opioids for effective long-term pain management, particularly in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This effectiveness trial will compare recommended treatments to reduce pain and functional limitations in KOA and identify clinical and patient-level factors associated with treatment response. These results will lead to improved patient selection for treatment and inform evidence based guidelines by offering well-tested, effective, non-opioid alternatives.

The goal of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of tildacerfont in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). When a child is enrolled in the study, in addition to taking the study drug (tildacerfont), he or she will continue to take his or her standard glucocorticoid doses. A part of the study will be to test different doses of the study drug and to measure adrenal hormones at each visit. Children will be in the study for 18 weeks and will have to visit the study clinic 5 times.

We are conducting this research to better understand if text messages can be used for diabetes education for patients in the Hmong community. People will be in this research study for one month. You will receive two text messages per week for one month and be asked to complete a 5-10 minute survey at the end of the month.

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of providing personalized legal and financial services on the financial and emotional health of people with advanced stage colorectal cancer. We have partnered with a local nonprofit company called Cancer Legal Care (CLC) to provide the legal and financial services that people will receive as part of this research.

The objective of this study is to describe how activation of distinct pathways in and around the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) correlate to changes in sleep outcomes in movement disorders patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting these structures.

This study will enroll patients with a blood cancer who need to undergo a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant using a donor that is not a full DNA match with them. It tests TRX103, a cellular therapy, to see if it is an effective and safe way to prevent Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), a common and potentially serious side effect of stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to measure the compliance, usability, and satisfaction of an at-home, multi-modal stimulation device in a diverse population of people with chronic lower back pain (cLBP) compared to a group of participants who are engaging in integrative health practices. The multi-modal device will include a combination of electrical stimulation, auditory stimulation, and integrative-health techniques, including mindfulness breathing, health coaching, and reflective journaling. The multi-modal device creation is based on prior knowledge in lower back pain treatment, which includes electrical stimulation of the back (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator or TENS) and integrative health modalities. Findings from this usability pilot study could help refine the approach and the multi-modal device for a future intervention study in cLBP participants.

This study seeks to understand visual perception in people with Visual Snow Syndrome and how this relates to brain function.

The purpose of the study is to see if ianalumab, compared to placebo, is effective and safe for treating wAIHA. A placebo looks like the study drug, ianalumab, but does not contain any active ingredient. Ianalumab belongs to a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are molecules that can recognize and stick to a specific protein expressed on the cell surface or released free in the body. Participants will receive study drug (ianalumab or placebo) through the vein every 4 weeks (4 doses in total) during the treatment period.

The primary purpose of this study is to gain information, especially disease free outcomes, using the tandem approach as compared to the historical information of using a single transplant. The data will be analyzed for transplant “milestones” such as time to blood count recovery and how patients are doing at 3 months and 1 year after the treatment. Participation in this study will not alter treatment or medical care. All information for this study will be collected from medical records.

This purpose of this study is to identify a safe dose level for the study drug, E7777, when given with standard tisagenlecleucel therapy (also known by its brand name, Kymriah, is an immunotherapy that is made from the participants own blood cells) in participants with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Up to three dose levels of E7777 will be tested.

The main purpose of this study is to check how safe the study drug is and how well your body handles taking it. We will also check if the study drug works to improve your kidney function, if has an impact on your daily life and the amount of the study drug in your blood over a period of time (called pharmacokinetics)

The purpose of this research is to collect and store specimens and information about the recovery of the immune system following a stem cell transplant (HCT) or immunotherapy to treat a cancer or blood disease. Samples from many people are being collected and stored so they can be used for research now and in the future.

The purpose of this project is to learn about the stereotypes and discriminatory treatment that Black patients encounter to develop communication skills training and tools for clinicians that reduces the likelihood that Black patients feel stereotyped and discriminated against. We will ask you to participate in a two-hour focus group, either in-person or virtually.

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.

To maintain a biorepository (sample bank) of biological samples from different tobacco users and non-users to investigate how tobacco and nicotine products affect our bodies. The samples will be used by researchers to develop methods to look for biological “markers” (biomarkers), or chemical changes in the body, that occur due to tobacco or nicotine exposure. The goal is to eventually use these biomarkers to improve detection, prevention, and treatment strategies for tobacco-related diseases.

This study tests the use of the oncolytic virus BI1831169 (VSV-GP) as an immunotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. This trial is the first-in-human trial to test the safety and early efficacy of BI1831169 by itself (Part 1) and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor ezabenlimab (Part 2).

We know that patients who have undergone a solid organ transplant are at higher risk for severe influenza infections and may not develop a robust antibody response to a single dose of the influenza vaccine. The purpose of this study is to better understand the body’s response to two doses of the high-dose influenza vaccine compared to one dose during an influenza season.

Study to examine the physiological responses that occur during a hot flush in postmenopausal women

We are looking at how an 8-week exercise program of walking for 30-45 minutes 3 times/week affects the body. This study is for people who are prediabetic and overweight or obese. We will compare the exercise group to a group that didn’t participate in the exercise to see if there are differences in gut microbes, body measurements, and blood work.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) confers a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly among older adults who tend to be physically inactive. Most studies that have examined the effects of changing sedentary behavior (SB) have focused on young healthy males and prioritized glycemic outcomes. We will look at the effect of 3 different ways of breaking up sitting: 1) 4 hours of prolonged SB, 2) 4 hours of SB broken up by 5 minutes of self-paced walking every hour, and 3) 4 hours of SB with one 20-minute bout of self-paced walking. In addition to examining the overall effects of each condition, differences between men and women will be evaluated.

We are researching the benefits of physical therapy guided exoskeleton gait training in people with a spinal cord injury. We want to describe the benefits to overall function and how the brain changes after gait training.

The purpose of this research study is to collect timely and relevant data that will support the evolving research needs of the Inherited Retinal Disease community (IRD), in order to provide insights that can be used to improve patient management, and to inform development of future treatments. No visits, assessments, or procedures are mandated, and follow-up will be captured as part of your standard of care. The planned length of registry is of 8 years with a potential to extend the duration as needs evolve.

The clear layer at the front of the eye that covers the pupil and iris (colored part of the eye) is called the “cornea”. When the cornea is damaged, it normally heals within a few days but it may take up to 2 weeks depending on the size and depth of the defect (wound). Some corneal defects heal much slower than expected. A defect in the cornea that fails to heal within the normal time of 2 weeks despite using the best available medicines and procedures, is known as Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect (or PCED for short). The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness (risks and benefits) of of NEXAGON ophthalmic gel for the treatment of PCEDs.

We are exploring ways to promote healthy lifestyles during stroke rehabilitation using a web-based rehabilitation program. The purpose of this study is to compare two intervention approaches: teleABLE and Healthy Lifestyles Education. Both interventions are delivered using video visits, so participants can complete all study activities from home
