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.
Topical Tolnaftate Stick for Tinea Pedis: An Open-Label Interventional Study
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of multiple 1% tolnaftate formulations delivered through novel stick-based vehicles in individuals with tinea pedis (athlete's foot).
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
This is a randomized trial for patients with brain metastases in the primary motor cortex who have not had seizures to receive either the prophylactic anti-seizure medication levetiracetam (also known by its trade name Keppra) or proceed with standard of care management, which does not currently include prophylactic levetiracetam. Patients …
Fentanyl Versus Hydromorphone in Patients on Mechanical Ventilation
Patients with respiratory failure who require mechanical ventilation are not only at risk of death, but also of complications of prolonged ICU stay. Patients may have significant functional decline, impact in quality of life, develop psychiatric disorders and at long-term can lead to significant cost to society. Although sedation and …
Investigating the Effects of Social Stress on Brain Imaging

Glucose Consumption in MS Using [F-18]FDG-PET
Given the need for better diagnostic imaging techniques in multiple sclerosis (MS), the study aims to investigate the utility of \[F-18\]FDG positron emission tomography (PET) in MS. The study will be assessing glucose consumption patterns in subjects with progressive MS (PMS) and relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), as well as healthy controls. …
Study of Tirzepatide for Recovery and Alcohol Use Management
This is a pilot, 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) to receive weekly injections of either tirzepatide (n=10) or matching placebo (n=10). The primary aim is to determine the effects of tirzepatide on cue-reactivity among individuals with AUD. The secondary aim is to assess …
Proof-of-Concept Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Fezolinetant in Improving Vasomotor Symptoms in Men With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if fezolinetant can treat hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does fezolinetant improve the frequency and severity of hot flashes? Does fezolinetant cause any harm to …
Testing the Effectiveness of the Anti-cancer Drug, Mirdametinib, in Treating Relapsed, Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
This phase II trial tests the effect of mirdametinib in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mirdametinib, a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) inhibitor, works by …
