Effect of Thickened Feeds on Swallow Physiology in Children With Dysphagia
This study will examine the effects of varying liquid viscosity on swallow physiology in infants with oropharyngeal dysphagia and brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE) and other children with dysphagia that would be at risk for symptoms of swallow dysfunction.
Avelumab or Hydroxychloroquine With or Without Palbociclib to Eliminate Dormant Breast Cancer
This clinical trial will assess the safety and early efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine or Avelumab, with or without Palbociclib, in early-stage ER+ breast cancer patients who are found to harbor disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow after definitive surgery and standard adjuvant therapy.
Neurobehavioral Mechanisms of Social Isolation and Loneliness in Serious Mental Illness
The proposed research will test the hypothesis that objective social isolation and loneliness are linked to neurobehavioral mechanisms involved in social perception and motivation in individuals with and without serious mental illness. Moreover, it will investigate the specific dynamic interactions among these experiences in daily life and how they, and …
Stereotactic Radiosurgery Compared With Hippocampal-Avoidant Whole Brain Radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) Plus Memantine for 5 or More Brain Metastases
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal …
LEVosimendan to Improve Exercise Limitation in Patients With PH-HFpEF
This study will evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12).
TRANSCRIBE (Transcriptomic Analysis of Left Ventricular Gene Expression)
Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that genetic variants will alter gene expression in response to ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass. To test this, the investigators will be taking small pieces of heart tissue from patients undergoing heart surgery before and after this period of ischemia. This will be compared to blood gene …
Mindfulness and Behavior Change to Improve Cardiovascular Health of Older People With HIV
Older people with HIV (OPWH) are disproportionately impacted by cardiovascular disease (CVD) attributable to behavioral risk factors, and chronic HIV immune dysregulation resulting inflammation. Systemic inflammation is exacerbated by psychological distress via activating the immune response and driving pro-inflammatory CVD risk behaviors. There is promising evidence to suggest that mindfulness …
Collection of Research Data and Samples From Patients Who Experience Immunotherapy Side Effects
This trial collects research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects to store for use in future research studies. Studying research data and samples from patients who experience immunotherapy side effects may help researchers better understand how to predict, prevent, and treat these side effects.
The Neonatal Hemorrhagic Risk Assessment in Thrombocytopenia
This is a prospective observational study designed to evaluate Immature Platelet Fraction or Immature Platelet Count and Platelet Function Analyzer-100/200 Closure Time-ADP (in vitro bleeding time) as markers of bleeding risk in thrombocytopenic preterm neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
A Study of the Safety and Tolerability of ASP7317 in Senior Adults Who Are Losing Their Clear, Sharp Central Vision Due to Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease which causes people to lose their sharp central vision over time. Aging damages the macula, which is in the middle of the retina - the light-sensitive part at the back of the eye. There are 2 types of AMD - wet AMD …
