Prospective Evaluation of Next Generation CT Reconstruction (NextGenIR)
Background \- Computed Tomography (CT) is a scan that makes detailed pictures of the body. It uses radiation to do that. In 2011, about 85.3 million CT scans were done in the United States. But there is growing concern about the health effects of radiation. There are new and different …
Characterization of an Optically Pumped Magnetometer (OPM) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Array
Background Brain activity produces magnetic fields. These fields can be measured outside the head. Existing technology, called MEG, measures these fields. Researchers are testing a new type of magnetic field sensor called OPM. They hope it can help pinpoint with very high accuracy where brain activity is generated. Objective To …
Adding the Immunotherapy Drug Cemiplimab to Usual Treatment for People With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Had Previous Treatment With Platinum Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
This phase II/III Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial compares the effect of adding cemiplimab to docetaxel and ramucirumab versus docetaxel and ramucirumab alone in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cemiplimab is a monoclonal antibody …
Functional Neuroimaging to Detect the Neural Signatures of the Unpleasantness of Pain and Effort
Background The way the brain processes rewards and punishments may play a role in some disorders of the nervous system. People with chronic overlapping pain conditions (such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome \[ME/CFS\]) may have heightened responses to unpleasant, punishing sensations. Some of these conditions may also cause heightened responses …
Uncovering Genes Behind Cartilage Tumors and Vascular Anomalies Using Genomic Sequencing
Background Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome (MS) are rare disorders that increase the risk of cancers in cartilage tissue. These tumors can lead to severe skeletal deformities beginning in childhood. People with OD or MS are also at an increased risk of blood vessel disorders and specific cancers. Researchers …
A Prospective Natural History and Outcome Measure Validation Study of Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
Background Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMSs) are a group of inherited disorders that affect how the nerves communicate with muscles. These can cause many problems that affect how people can move and use their bodies. Objective This is a natural history study to learn more about how CMSs affect the body …
Predicting Future Errors During Skill Performance
Background Many tasks people do every day require a series of individual movements. Control over these movements is called motor skills. But even highly skilled people can make mistakes. Researchers have found that they can predict when a person will make a mistake 0.1 second before it happens. Now, they …
Human Milk Oligosaccharide-Based Synbiotic Supplement for Intestinal Microbiota Dysbiosis
Background Human intestines are home to a complex gut flora, also called microbiome; this is a natural occurring community of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and viruses. Changes in the balances of the gut flora can lead to illnesses, such as diabetes, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Synbiotics are dietary supplements …
Assessment of 11C-JMJ-129 for Imaging PDE4D in Brain and Whole Body of Healthy Volunteers
Background PDE4D is a protein in the body that plays a role in thinking and depression. This protein may play a major role in disorders such as Alzheimer disease or major depressive disorder. To learn more about these disorders, researchers want to be able to detect levels of PDE4D in …
Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has a MET Exon 14 Skipping Gene Change (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial tests tepotinib with or without ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (stage IV) or that has come back after a period …
