Promising ROd-cone DYstrophy Gene therapY

This is a two-step, multicenter, Phase I/II study including an open-label dose-escalation phase (Step 1) and a three-arm, controlled, double-masked, randomized extension phase (Step 2), in subjects with advanced RCD due to a mutation in the RHO, PDE6A, or PDE6B gene.

Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Pediatric Pulmonary Invasive Mold Infections

This study will establish a non-invasive diagnostic approach and evaluate clinical outcomes for children at high-risk for pulmonary invasive fungal infection (PIFI).

Comparing Hypothermic Temperatures During Hemiarch Surgery

Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend …

Local Bisphosphonate Effect on Recurrence Rate in Extremity Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of …

Advanced Fetal Imaging - Phase II

The goal of Advanced Fetal Imaging - Phase II is to advance fetal MRI imaging by designing MRI coils specifically for pregnant women and testing recently developed MRI image acquisition techniques. The investigators aim to more reliably obtain higher quality fetal MRI images when compared to current clinical fetal MRI.

Mechanisms and Predictors of Change in App-Based Mindfulness Training for Adolescents

A growing body of research implicates rumination as being a transdiagnostic risk factor involved in the development of depression and anxiety in youth. Critically, mindfulness meditation has shown significant promise in targeting rumination, and ultimately improving depressive and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness apps offer a convenient and cost-effective means for accessing …

Sequential Testosterone and Enzalutamide Prevents Unfavorable Progression

Asymptomatic men without pain due to prostate cancer progressing with metastatic CRPC after treatment with combination or sequential ADT + Abi will be treated on a randomized, open label study to determine if sequential treatment with high dose T and Enza will improve primary and secondary objectives vs. continuous Enza …

Neural Mechanisms of Family-Focused Treatment for Youth Depression

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the baseline neural mechanisms and parenting in depressed and non-depressed children and to examine baseline neural mechanisms and parenting as predictors of Family-Focused Treatment for Childhood-Depression (FFT-CD) outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are differences between depressed …
