Repeat Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease and Falling Donor Myeloid Chimerism Levels
Background Sickle cell disease can often be treated with blood stem cell transplants. But for some people the disease returns. This study will give a second transplant to people whose disease has returned but still have some donor cells in their body. Objective To cure people s sickle cell disease …
Feasibility/Acceptability of Attentional-Control Training in Survivors
This is a multicenter pilot randomized controlled trial, with an active control condition, of the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of EndeavorRx in a cohort of survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia or brain tumor ages 8-16 who are > 1 year from the end of therapy.
Behavioral and Functional Task Development, Implementation, and Testing
Background Scientists know that alcohol use disorders affect brain structure. They want to know more about the effects of alcohol use disorders on a person s behavior. They want to develop tasks that can be done inside a scanner that can help them better understand these effects in later studies. …
Measuring Impact of Computer Gaming on Arm Use in Rett Syndrome
Using a tele-research approach, we will recruit, enroll, guide and support carers and participants to engage in computer based activities (modified virtual reality) with the primary outcome of reducing stereotypies and increasing independent arm and hand use and secondary outcome of improving quality of living. Because of our virtual approach, …
Ivabradine for Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 With POTS Cohort
The purpose of the study is three-fold.

Pulmonary Embolism - Thrombus Removal With Catheter-Directed Therapy
PE-TRACT is an open-label, assessor-blinded, randomized trial, aiming to compare catheter-directed therapy (CDT) and anticoagulation (CDT group) with anticoagulation alone (No-CDT) in 500 patients with submassive PE, proximal pulmonary artery thrombus and right ventricular dilation.
Treat-to-Target of Endoscopic Remission in Patients With IBD in Symptomatic Remission
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of a strategy of switching to an alternative targeted immunomodulator (TIM) therapy to treat to a target of endoscopic remission, versus continuing index TIM in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis [UC]) in …
Autologous Transplantation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium for Geographic Atrophy Associated With Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Background Age-related macular degeneration is a common eye disease in people over 50. The "dry" form of the disease can worsen into geographic atrophy, causing blind spots. Researchers want to learn if replacing older eye cells with younger ones can help treat this disease. Objective To test the safety of …
