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 …
Dance Study for Post-surgical Pain in Breast Cancer Survivors
The purpose of this study is to examine how a 12-week, virtual dance program may improve pain and quality of life in participants with persistent post-surgical pain, or PPSP, following mastectomy or lumpectomy.
PET Brain Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, and Other Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Diseases
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared …
Modeling Blood Management and Hemolytic Risk in Pediatric Heart Surgery
This study aims to learn more about blood management in children undergoing heart surgery, such as the right amounts, and the best blood products, to administer. It also aims to develop a mathematical model that may help researchers better predict and treat patients who need blood transfusions during heart surgery.
Beat the Heat Boston
The goal of this stepped wedge trial is to assess the practical effects of air conditioners on hot weather impacts among older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does the presence of an air conditioning unit affect heat stress, heat strain, mental health, and healthcare utilization …
Feasibility Testing of a Tai Chi Program for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment (TCT)
This research is being done to determine whether a 12-week virtual Tai Chi training program, designed to improve balance and small nerve fiber function, is feasible and acceptable among cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
Evaluating the Acceptability, Feasibility and Usability of Various Conversational Data Collection Software
This research study is being conducted to evaluate digital software tools that collect health information through conversations. The study will test how acceptable, feasible, and usable these conversational software programs are for patients with chronic pain. Purpose of the Study: The goal is to understand whether digital conversational tools can …
Postoperative Pain Control in AIS Using Liposomal Bupivacaine vs. 0.25% Bupivacaine With Epinephrine
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating whether the local anesthetic injection of liposomal bupivacaine during posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for AIS is more effective in reducing acute postoperative opioid consumption compared to an equal volume injection of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine for patients aged 10 to 17, with 128 patients …
