Muscle Health Measurements Using Electrical Impedance Myography
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), …
Synaptic Mechanisms of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation in Depression
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 …
Ph 2 Elacestrant in ER Positive Uterine Sarcomas
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)
Vision Rehabilitation Training With Multimodal Feedback in Central Vision Loss
Central vision loss from macular degeneration creates blind spots that impair reading, face recognition, and navigation. Individuals must learn to use peripheral vision, requiring retraining of eye movements. Our preliminary research using high-speed eye tracking demonstrated that people with larger scotomas have impaired eye movement control, and that single-session visual …
A Vaccine (CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccine) for the Enhancement of CMV-Specific Immunity and the Prevention of CMV Viremia in Patients Undergoing Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Triplex vaccine works in enhancing CMV-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploHCT) has advanced to become the predominant procedure for patients …
Identifying Substance Use Consequences
The goal of this study is to develop a new tool for measuring substance use disorder treatment outcome. We will start by interviewing people and gathering advisory groups to develop the items for this new tool.
Application of a Clinical Decision Support System to Reduce Mechanical Ventilation Duration After Cardiac Surgery in Children
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in children receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). The main question it aims to answer is: -What is the impact of a CDSS designed to facilitate weaning and …
Germline Testing for Predisposition to Myeloid Malignancies
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the feasibility of germline genetic testing using the investigational MyeloGen Gene Panel in adult participants diagnosed with myeloid malignancies.
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.
