Fentanyl Versus Hydromorphone in Patients on Mechanical Ventilation
Patients with respiratory failure who require mechanical ventilation are not only at risk of death, but also of complications of prolonged ICU stay. Patients may have significant functional decline, impact in quality of life, develop psychiatric disorders and at long-term can lead to significant cost to society. Although sedation and …
Investigating the Effects of Social Stress on Brain Imaging
The purpose of this study is to examine whether experiencing a social stressor prior to the collection of neuroimaging measures is associated with differences in brain activation in healthy participants.
Glucose Consumption in MS Using [F-18]FDG-PET
Given the need for better diagnostic imaging techniques in multiple sclerosis (MS), the study aims to investigate the utility of \[F-18\]FDG positron emission tomography (PET) in MS. The study will be assessing glucose consumption patterns in subjects with progressive MS (PMS) and relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), as well as healthy controls. …
Oral Surgery Virtual Reality Glasses Study
The goal of this randomized trial is to investigate if using virtual reality (VR) glasses for patients who require non-emergent oral surgery procedures under intravenous (IV) sedation improves their overall experience compared to using standard of care safety glasses. This study has two primary objectives. To evaluate if VR glasses …
Study of Tirzepatide for Recovery and Alcohol Use Management
This is a pilot, 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) to receive weekly injections of either tirzepatide (n=10) or matching placebo (n=10). The primary aim is to determine the effects of tirzepatide on cue-reactivity among individuals with AUD. The secondary aim is to assess …
Tocilizumab Discontinuation Versus Dose Reduction for Patients With Well-Controlled Giant Cell Arteritis
This is a multi-center, randomized, open label study that will assess the efficacy and safety of ACTEMRA(R) or one of its FDA-approved biosimilars Tocilizumab (TCZ) maintenance versus withdrawal in Giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients who are in remission after at least 12 months of high dose TCZ treatment. Eligible participants …
Proof-of-Concept Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Fezolinetant in Improving Vasomotor Symptoms in Men With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if fezolinetant can treat hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does fezolinetant improve the frequency and severity of hot flashes? Does fezolinetant cause any harm to …
Testing the Effectiveness of the Anti-cancer Drug, Mirdametinib, in Treating Relapsed, Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
This phase II trial tests the effect of mirdametinib in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mirdametinib, a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) inhibitor, works by …
A Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Retro-TCE Capsule
The investigators have developed an inexpensive tool to take pictures in the lower GI tract without sedation and to look for signs of disease. The tool is a capsule, about the size of a fish oil or multi-vitamin supplement, attached to a string. The capsule and string are connected to …
Brain Stimulation for Foot-sole Sensation in Older Adults With Foot-sole Somatosensory Deficits
In older adults, diminished sensation of the legs and feet is highly prevalent and causes poor balance and reduced mobility. This type of sensation is not only dependent upon the receptors and nerves in the legs and feet, but also upon a complex central nervous system pathway that includes the …
