The RECSUR-study: Resection Versus Best Oncological Treatment for Recurrent Glioblastoma (ENCRAM 2302)
Previous evidence has indicated that resection for recurrent glioblastoma might benefit the prognosis of these patients in terms of overall survival. However, the demonstrated safety profile of this approach is contradictory in the literature and the specific benefits in distinct clinical and molecular patient subgroups remains ill-defined. The aim of …
Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Tumor Early Detection Study
The goal of this observational study is to determine if a liquid biopsy (i.e. blood test) is an effective clinical tool for monitoring the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) among adults (18 years and older) with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), compared to the current standard of care. …
International Rare Histiocytic Disorders Registry (IRHDR)
The rare histiocytic disorders (RHDs) are characterized by the infiltration of one or more organs by non-LCH histiocytes. They can range from localized disease that resolves spontaneously, to progressive disseminated forms that can be sometimes life-threatening. Since they are extremely rare, there is limited understanding of their causes and best …
Health Opportunities and Promoters of Equitable Screening for Lung Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to promote lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake among Hispanic current and former smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are: What barriers do current and former Hispanic smokers face in the identification and documentation of their smoking status? How can digital delivery …
Biomarkers in Infection
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate how early biomarkers of infection and inflammation perform in identifying patients at risk for poor outcome in sepsis and septic shock.
Longitudinal Real-world Clinical Outcomes Study on Symplicity Renal Denervation
This observational study will assess the long-term effectiveness of the RDN procedure for lowering blood pressure in Medicare patients with uncontrolled hypertension. This research will be conducted using de-identified electronic health records (EHR) and administrative health insurance claims data. Patients are enrolled through the submission of claims or encounter data …
Tau PET/CT Imaging in the Mismatch Prospective Cohort Study (MPC-TAU)
To collect Tau PET/CT imaging in older adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in the Mismatch Prospective Cohort Study (MPC-Tau) study to determine relationship to clinical, cognitive, and other biomarker data. Findings from this study will likely provide insight into the phenotypic variability of Alzheimer's …
Digital Accessible Remote Olfactory Mediated Health Assessments for Preclinical AD
The goal of this study is to objectively test one's sense of smell, called olfaction, in participants with Subjective Cognitive Concerns (SCC), Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), and age-matched controls. The main question it aims to answer is whether the AROMHA Brain Health Test could serve as a …
Genetic Study of Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS)
Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a condition with several causes of which some remain unknown. It is believed that some types of CP may be genetic or passed down (inherited) from one generation to the next. In this study, we are collecting genetic material and medical information to …
Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Congestive Heart Failure Receiving Therapy for Breast Cancer
This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer may help doctors …
