Early Vedolizumab as First-Line for Immune-Related Colitis Therapy Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of Vedolizumab with a short course of steroids compared to standard course of steroids for the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor colitis (ICI colitis) in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: How many patients …
Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain (PPSP)
The overall goal of this project is to complete a pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) to inform a future fully-powered translational study evaluating yoga for management and resolution of persistent-post surgical pan (PPSP) and the role of biological, psychophysical, and psychosocial modulators in PPSP resolution.
OnTrackCF: Engagement, Feasibility, and Acceptability Study
This is a multi-site, nonrandomized study using mixed methods approach to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and user engagement of OnTrackCF for adults with Cystic Fibrosis (AWCF).
Gastrointestinal Dysmotility on Aspiration Risk
The hypothesis of this study is that esophageal and gastric dysmotility increase the risk of developing aspiration-associated symptoms in children with neurologic impairment. The investigators are conducting a ten week cross over study comparing prucalopride to famotidine for the treatment of aspiration-associated symptoms.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell BCL11A Enhancer Gene Editing for Severe β-Hemoglobinopathies
A promising approach for the treatment of genetic diseases is called gene therapy. Gene therapy is a relatively new field of medicine that uses genetic material (mostly DNA) from the patient to treat his or her own disease. In gene therapy, the investigators introduce new genetic material in order to …
Prophylactic Anti-Seizure Medication vs No Anti-Seizure Medication for Patients With Primary Motor Cortex Brain Metastases
