The purpose of this research is to test safety, efficacy and compare the effects of a combination therapy involving inavolisib plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole versus placebo plus a CDK4/6i (palbociclib) and letrozole on patients with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). In this study, you will get either inavolisib plus palbociclib and letrozole or placebo plus palbociclib and letrozole. A placebo looks like a drug but has no active ingredient.

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 purpose of this study is to learn more about ocular (relating to the eye) side-effects of tisotumab vedotin (brand name: TIVDAK™). A side effect is anything the drug does to your body besides treating your disease. It is approved for women with cervical cancer that has spread through the body or come back during or after chemotherapy. We are doing a study to understand whether there are any ocular side-effects of TIVDAK.

This research study is for participants who have a weakened immune system (are immunocompromised), have a lower lung infection and are currently using a machine or device to help them breathe. The study will look at whether the study drug, DAS181, works and how safe it is compared with a placebo in adults who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) and a parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection of the lower respiratory tract. A placebo looks the same as the study drug but does not contain any active ingredients.

The purpose of the study is to establish and maintain a biorepository of tissue and biospecimen samples relevant to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. We will obtain, store, and catalogue peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), blood and blood components, skin punch biopsy samples, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from people living with ALS, linked to clinical datasets, to advance ALS research.

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 research is being done to help us better understand the different DNA repair disorders. We will collect data and samples that we will use to develop new therapies and medicine to help treat the disease. We expect that participants will be in this research study for 3 years. Visits will occur every six months and alternate between in-person and remote. Remote visits should be expected to last 1-2 hours, and in-person visits should be expected to last 3-4 hours.

This research study is for participants who have an inherited neuromuscular disorder or neurogenetic disorder, or family members who are unaffected by such disorders

We are recruiting only healthy participants who do not have REM sleep behavior disorder. The information gained from this study will help the investigators understand more about REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), and the possible underlying neurologic disorders that can cause RBD.

The purpose of this study is to find out if a study drug called BI 765423 can improve lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study compares BI 765423 with a placebo to see if there is a difference in lung function or blood test results related to lung health after 3 month. The placebo looks like BI 765423 but does not contain any active drug.

The purpose of this study is to better understand heart and blood vessel health in adults conceived through assisted reproductive technology (such as IVF) compared to adults conceived naturally. Participants will complete one study visit lasting approximately 3–4 hours. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires, have basic health measurements taken, and complete non-invasive tests that assess blood pressure, blood vessel function, and circulation. Researchers hope the findings will improve understanding of long-term cardiovascular health in adults conceived through assisted reproductive technology.

This study tests whether the study drug, a T-cell engager therapy engineered to have fewer off-target effects by increasing its specificity to tumor cells, is safe and tolerable in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) The study will also assess the potential Phase 2 dose regimens and determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.

We have determined that the microbes (bacteria) in the colon can play a role in causing and preventing complications of colon surgery. While the surgical bowel prep before surgery eliminates the harmful bacteria, it also eliminates the beneficial bacteria that aid wound healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if we can restore the presence of good bacteria (also known as ‘intestinal microbiota’) in the colon by transplanting them from a healthy donor.

This study will help to identify challenges and barriers to self-performing anal cancer screening tests, and may identify unique ways to make this form of screening easier, more cost-effective, and more frequently performed. We believe that it has the potential to minimize the frequency of both disease and death from anal cancer among high-risk patient groups.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of a new investigational drug called CRN04894, also called atumelnant for treating pediatric participants with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). We want to see how safe atumelnant is at different doses and how well the body accepts (tolerates) it and how it moves through the body (how it gets in, spreads around, gets used, and then leaves), also known as pharmacokinetics (PK). We also want to see if if atumelnant produces the expected effect in the body, if it helps control the CAH, and if we can reduce the steroid (GC) dose.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab in people with advanced melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer. Researchers want to learn whether these drugs can help shrink or stabilize cancer and whether certain tumor biomarkers may help predict how well patients respond to treatment.

We are studying the brain patterns of people who have anorexia nervosa and those who don't have anorexia nervosa. We will look at MRIs, behavioral measures, and questionnaires to see if we can identify the brain activity associated with disgust. There will be a follow-up at 6 and 12 months.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Budesonide in low and high dose extended- release tablets in pediatric participants with active, mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis and to evaluate the level of budesonide that remains in the blood after taking it. Participants will be asked to take an oral (by mouth) form of Budesonide or a placebo once daily for 8 weeks. A placebo is a tablet that does not contain any active study drug (Budesonide).

To assess and characterize the risk of malignancies, and long-term safety following treatment with atidarsagene autotemcel (Lenmeldy).

This research is being done to study binge eating and potential treatment strategies. An app on a sensor logging device will log eating behavior data. The device will incorporate data and refine the performance of the HabitAware sensor logging model to recognize binge eating episodes. We hope this research will help inform novel treatments for targeting binge eating behavior.

The purpose of this research is to compare the effects of nivolumab with vusolimogene oderparepvec (VO) against standard of care treatment drug(s) currently available for patients with advanced melanoma. We expect that taking part in this research will last up to 60 months.

This study is about learning more about the full range of what tics can look like. Participating includes filling out surveys and submitting two brief videos of yourself. We know tics can be really different across people. By getting a lot of videos of people doing tics, we hope to better understand the variety of tics that exist.

The goal of this study is to determine if healthy donor microbes released in the small intestine act the same way as healthy donor microbes released in the large intestine for people with Crohn's Disease. We will see what good bacteria are present in intestinal biopsies at 8 weeks and look for improvement in inflammation with colonoscopy.

REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a condition in which people physically act out their dreams while sleeping. Some people with RBD may later develop neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or related disorders. This study will examine changes in the brain over a two-year period using advanced brain imaging (7T MRI) and other neurological tests. Researchers will compare people with RBD to people without the disorder to better understand how the brain changes over time and identify potential early signs of neurological disease.

The main purpose of this study is to test whether Walkasins can help people with peripheral neuropathy maintain their balance better. Walkasins have been developed to improve balance and walking by enhancing a person’s ability to feel the pressure beneath his/her feet as he/she walks.

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 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.
