Immunotherapy Before and After Surgery for Treatment of Recurrent or Progressive High Grade Glioma in Children and Young Adults
This phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab before and after surgery in treating children and young adults with high grade glioma that has come back (recurrent) or is increasing in scope or severity (progressive). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system …
SURGE: Supporting UnderRepresented Minorities in Genomics-based Cancer Trial Enrollment (Intervention)
SURGE aims to increase equity in clinical trial enrollment by addressing barriers to genomic testing, which is increasingly needed to assess precision clinical trial eligibility and access standard precision therapies. The study is an interventional pilot meant primarily to assess the feasibility of the intervention. The intervention is comprised of …
A Study of PARG Inhibitor IDE161 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IDE161 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.
Pilot Study for OCT Guided In Vivo Laser Capture Microdissection for Assessing the Prognosis of Barrett's Esophagus
The investigators have developed a new technology, termed in-vivo laser capture microdissection (IVLCM), that addresses the limitations of endoscopic biopsy for screening for BE and provides targeted genomic profiling of aberrant tissue for more precise prediction of EAC risk. The device is a tethered capsule endomicroscope (TCE) that implements optical …
A Study of Modified Release RTN-001 In Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug RT-001 works to reduce high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It will also learn about the safety of RTN-001. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does RTN-001 lower blood pressure in patients who have uncontrolled hypertension? …
Positive Fit to Colonoscopy: Closing the Gap
The goals of this proposal are to: (1) identify patient- and system-level determinants of diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT; (2) identify patient- and system-level equity-driven implementation strategies for diagnostic colonoscopy after positive FIT matched to determinants; and (3) pilot test patient- and systems-level implementation strategies to increase rate of colonoscopy …
Dark Adaptation as an Early Indicator of Response to Statin Therapy for Intermediate AMD
interventional trial for off label use of high dose atorvastatin 80 mg in intermediate AMD patients and correlate recovery response measured by dark adaptation recovery time with drusen volume reduction measured by SD-OCT
Using Non-invasive Brain Stimulation to Treat Word Finding Difficulty in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how brain stimulation affects word finding problems in people who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The type of brain stimulation used is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). tDCS delivers low levels of electric current to the brain and …
Natural History Study of Patients With Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase (SSADH) Deficiency
Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that interferes with the catabolism of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and furthermore leads to accumulation of various potential toxic metabolites, most prominently gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). Current research indicates that there is developmental delay and …
Brain Networks in Dystonia
To date, there is only limited knowledge about the distinct neural abnormalities that lead to the development of different forms of focal dystonia. The goal of this study is to dissect the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this clinical phenomenon using multi-level brain network analysis in patients with focal dystonia.
