Tocilizumab Discontinuation Versus Dose Reduction for Patients With Well-Controlled Giant Cell Arteritis
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 …
RNA Sequencing of Discarded Tracheal Stenosis Tissue to Characterize Cellular and Molecular Pathogenesis
Benign tracheal stenosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, typically resulting from fibroinflammatory scarring. It can be secondary to iatrogenic etiologies such as intubation or tracheostomy , as well as autoimmune diseases and being idiopathic. Patients typically undergoes endoscopic or surgical interventions to open up the airways. This project …
Metabotyping of Broccoli Microgreen in Obese Breast Cancer Survivors
Obesity can pose significant challenges to maintaining long-term health in cancer survivors by increasing their risk of cancer coming back. Eating a healthy diet is an important way to help manage weight and improve overall health. Broccoli microgreens (BMG) are young broccoli plants packed with nutrients, and research suggests they …
Robot-Assisted Prostate Biopsy With a Novel Ultrasound Probe
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most diagnosed type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among US men, and its incidence has increased steadily in the last decade. Efforts to address the rise in PCa diagnosis without overdetection and overtreatment include targeted biopsy techniques for clinically …
Dabrafenib and Trametinib for BRAF V600 Mutant Low-Grade Gliomas
This phase II trial studies how well de-escalating the drugs dabrafenib and trametinib works in treating patients with low-grade gliomas that have a BRAF V600 gene mutation. Dabrafenib and trametinib are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signals …
ANG-First Trial (Angiotensin II as First-Line Vasopressor Therapy in Cardiac Surgery)
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of Angiotensin II in patients with low blood pressure post-surgery. Your information will be collected for 28 days post the procedure and initiation of the study drug to assess for safety events and complications.
Outcomes of High-risk Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated With Blue Light Resection
Comparing white-light cystoscopy (WLC) and blue-light cystoscopy (BLC) in TURBT for high risk (HR) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients is crucial to determine the most effective method for reducing residual disease burden and improving recurrence-free survival. Enhanced visualization with BLC may lead to more accurate resections, potentially decreasing recurrence …
Night Owl Metabolism
The proposed study uses a novel and rigorous randomized cross-over study design in youth (17-23y) with late and non-late chronotype (n=35 per group) to assess the glycemic effect of "aligning" an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or first-meal of day to a subject's chronotype. Both groups will undergo 2 OGTTs …
Sleep TO Prevent Post-surgical Pain
This research study is being done to compare different methods of addressing sleep problems before total knee replacement surgery. These methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and light exposure.
Testing the Impact of Smartphone-based Messaging to Support Young Adult Smoking Cessation
Clinical practice guidelines for smoking cessation emphasize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients develop coping strategies for urges. Mindfulness or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offer a different approach, which teaches smokers psychological flexibility through accepting negative experiences. While there is evidence for the efficacy of both CBT and …
