A listing of Lexington, Massachusetts clinical trials actively recruiting patient volunteers.
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.
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 …
Persistent air leaks (PALs) are a common postoperative complication resulting from tears in the visceral pleura or peripheral lung resections. Although highly prevalent with significant consequences, traditional assessment methods lack the capability to objectively quantify air leaks, which further complicates management, results in inconsistent decision making, and prolongs hospital stays. …
The purpose of this study is to determine how effective the drug pemigatinib is as a treatment option for advanced succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST). This study will also assess the side effects associated with pemigatinib and evaluate its tolerability. The name of the study drug involved in this …
This is a prospective cohort study with 52 meditators and 52 controls. These groups will be contacted at a singular timepoint, during which they will take surveys and cognitive tests, which will be used to assess cognitive and emotional outcomes. The meditator group will be recruited from a pool of …
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of elacestrant in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in participants with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-low or HER2-ultralow, metastatic breast cancer that is resistant to prior CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. The names of the study drugs involved in …
The present study will assess the acceptability and feasibility of a brief intervention designed to help young heavy drinkers reduce their alcohol consumption. All participants will complete a brief (1-week) mindfulness intervention, and participants will be randomized to receive either active or inactive Respiratory-gated Auricular Vagal Afferent Nerve Stimulation (RAVANS) …
This study is being done to further develop a device, the mScan, to measure muscle health as compared to measurements of muscle health using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This device is held against the skin and uses Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM). EIM uses a very small, noninvasive (e.g. no needles), …
Many people with depression do not get better with standard treatments like medication. One promising alternative is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions. A particular pattern of TMS called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) is thought to reduce overactive brain activity …
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of elacestrant, in participants with advanced estrogen receptor (ER)-positive uterine sarcomas. The name of the study drug involved in this research study is: -Elacestrant (a type of selective estrogen receptor degrader)
