This study is comparing the treatment of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) with either lifestyle changes or obesity surgery with lifestyle changes.  Participants must be 30-70 years old, have a BMI of 35.0-60.0 kg/m2, have health insurance that will pay for obesity surgery, and be willing to accept either treatment.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Imetelstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving imetelstat in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine may work better in treating patients with refractory or recurrent AML, MDS, and JMML.

This study will examine how the design of the cigarette filter and menthol flavors affects smoking behavior, exposure to nicotine and the potential health effects from these exposures. The study will also evaluate how using the study cigarettes affects mood and responses to the cigarettes, such as tobacco satisfaction. In addition, we will assess how satisfied you are with participating in a completely remote (telehealth) research study.

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.

We are conducting research on a new drug called emactuzumab. Emactuzumab is a new type of monoclonal antibody. An antibody is a protein produced by the body’s immune system to detect harmful substances. A monoclonal antibody is an artificially created protein that acts like a human antibody. Each antibody is specific for a single substance. Emactuzumab antibodies are aimed at blocking a type of protein called “CSF-1 receptors” from being able to work and to stop a tumor from growing. We will also examine how long this response will last, the impact on movement and quality of life. We will also examine whether participants need surgery during treatment with emactuzumab. In this study, we will also examine the safety of emactuzumab.

This is a study of adults with unexplained chronic cough between 18-80 years old. This study is trying to determine whether a noninvasive vibrotactile stimulation device can help reduce cough symptoms.

This drug study aims to estimate at initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or expiration at 1 years post autologous stem cell transplant of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients treated with BEAM autologous stem cell transplant combined with pembrolizumab given pretransplant and for 1 year post-transplant maintenance.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan compared to placebo in patients with idiopathic immune complex mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN)

This is a clinical research study exploring the safety and tolerability of a single dose of VX-522 for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are not expected to benefit from CFTR modulators.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and safe ZYN002, a transdermal gel, is in participants with FXS. The drug product ZYN002 is a pharmaceutically manufactured CBD. It is being developed as a clear gel that can be applied to the skin (called transdermal delivery), to provide consistent, controlled levels of CBD in the blood when it is given twice a day. Participants will be assigned by chance to get one of the following study treatments: Active study drug – ZYN002 or placebo. Assigning study drug by chance is called “randomization,” and it is an important part of testing an experimental study drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to study treatment according to a computer program and will have 1 in 2 chance of receiving the active study drug.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to look at how safe and effective the study drug, plozasiran, is at lowering triglycerides in people with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Hypertriglyceridemia is a condition where there is too much of a certain kind of fat (called triglycerides) in the blood. In people with severe hypertriglyceridemia, the level of triglycerides is more than 3 times higher than the normal, healthy level. The purpose of this study is to learn how effective the study drug is when given to people with very high triglycerides.

The purpose of the current study is to test the effects of two forms of cognitive training: visual perception training or visual cognitive control training in individuals with early psychosis.

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 pilot research study is to test whether a tool called “High-Resolution Manometry” can diagnose laryngeal dystonia (also known as spasmodic dysphonia) and measure how well treatment works. High-Resolution Manometry measures pressures from a small catheter that is passed from your nose into your throat. We believe that pressures in the throat might be different for people with laryngeal dystonia than for people without laryngeal dystonia, or with other types of voice disorders. If we can diagnose laryngeal dystonia shortly after symptoms start, we can get patients the treatment they need sooner.

Few medical treatments are available to improve walking ability in patients with PAD. This research study will help determine the effects of cocoa flavanols on walking ability in people with blockages in their leg arteries. Cocoa flavanols are a type of plant nutrient found in cocoa beans. These supplements are available over-the-counter at drugstores.

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

This study will provide the most accurate and reliable estimates to date on disease progression and clinical events in evolving chronic pancreatitis. We also hope to develop from the results of this study some lab tests that will help us with early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and also to discover any genetic factors that may affect your chances of developing chronic pancreatitis.

The purpose of this research is to learn more about the immune function of patients who are critically ill and may or may not have sepsis through assessment of blood samples at the time of their illness. We will use the blood to determine whether the immune system is suppressed (slowed or stunted) and measure the amount of suppression. Our research team will compare blood from healthy participants to people who are critically ill to better understand immune system suppression.

The goal of this study is to learn more about the effects of menopause on women's blood pressure and heart health. We are looking for women between the ages of 35 and 70 years to participate in the study. Participants may be pre- or postmenopausal; we are specifically interested in evaluating the influence of premature (< age 40 years) and early (< age 46 years) menopause.

The purpose of this study is to help investigators learn more about what are the best methods for diagnosing and monitoring lung problems.

The purpose of this study is to learn if removing the donor T cells from the donor product using this new method will be a better way to reduce the risk of GVHD. The benefit of removing these cells with this new method is that they will prevent GVHD without requiring drugs to suppress the immune system. Potentially, the immune system will recover from the transplant faster, which in turn will also lessen the risk of severe infections. As well, the patient will not have the other common undesired side effects of these immunosuppressive drugs.

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.

This research is being done to determine if pectoserratus block with bupivacaine will provide improvement in pain control and decrease opioid use, relative to pectoserratus block with a saline solution, among patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty.

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.

We are running this research study to learn about Obeldesivir (ODV) for people with RSV infection who have not been hospitalized for treatment. People in the study will take ODV or placebo (an inactive substance) for up to 5 days.

This is a prospective questionnaire study that will examine the impact of IBD and its surgical treatments on fertility in women with IBD of reproductive age (18-45). Women with IBD who are attempting to get pregnant within the next year will answer questionnaires about their general, surgical and reproductive health, conception history and sexual partner information. This will help identify risk factors predictive of fertility outcomes and early fetal loss, determine time to conception, and assess efficacy of fertility services including in vitro fertilization.

The purpose of this trial is to investigate a full-mouth electronic toothbrush (FMET) and foam system compared to a conventional electronic toothbrush (ETB) and dentifrice during a 30-day period to evaluate the impact on clinical indicators of gingivitis, plaque, safety, and patient perceptions.

This study looks at how certain risk factors (such as age, gender, other medical conditions, and the type of immunotherapy used to treat the cancer) affect whether a patient with a malignant solid tumor will develop mild or serious side effects from the immunotherapy medications. Immunotherapy is the type of treatment that helps the body's immune system fight cancer. In the future, this information may help doctors make better decisions about cancer treatments

We want to study if lower doses of a chemotherapy drug called busulfan will help babies with SCID achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

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).
