Extending Prostate Genetic Awareness, Navigation, and Delivery: The EXPAND Network
This trial evaluates whether a network of peer genetic coaches is useful for addressing disparities in genetic testing and screening among African American men with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). While genetic testing has become central …
MicroRNAs as Biomarkers for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Although obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder, there are no blood biomarkers for identification and management of these patients. This project will study microRNAs in order to develop and validate blood biomarkers that are specific to OSA, useful for identification of cases with OSA, reflective of efficacy of …
Exploration of Personalized Biomarkers During Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy for Spinal and Sacral Chordoma
In this study the investigators will study the effects of neoadjuvant radiation therapy (RT), in the form of either proton therapy or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), on the Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), radiographic changes and radiomics, and the validity of these findings will be compared using the current gold …
AETOS Shoulder System
The goal of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the AETOS Shoulder System for USA adoption. This is a prospective, open, adaptive, non-comparative, multi-centre investigation enrolling a maximum of 220 subjects in 2 cohorts (anatomic and reverse) at up to 15 sites. No intra-study comparator group …
Esophageal String Test Monitoring to Monitor Eosinophilic Esophagitis During Oral Immunotherapy
Patients with IgE mediated food Allergy have elevated risk of eosinophilic esophagitis, and new therapies like oral immunotherapy (OIT) carry additional risk of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). The goal of this study is to investigate the Esophageal String Test (EST) as a screening tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) during OIT therapy. …
Clinical Data Registry of Amblyopia Patients on Luminopia Treatment
Amblyopia is the most prevalent cause of reduced monocular visual acuity in children and young adults, with estimates of prevalence ranging from 1% to 5%. The most common associated amblyogenic risk factors are uncorrected anisometropia, strabismus, or a combination of these. In addition to reduced visual acuity, amblyopic patients may …
Genomic Risk in Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
The protocol intends to explore the biology which may underlie recurrences of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Surgery remains the only curative intent intervention for this disease. Often, tumors recur in locations within the retroperitoneum remote from the original primary tumor. This study hypothesizes that normal appearing retroperitoneal fat actually harbors underlying genetic …
A Prospective Study on the Efficacy of Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) in Achieving >20% Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Reduction Without Medications at 6 Months in Naive, Untreated Glaucoma Patients
Background Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), leading to irreversible vision loss. Current treatment strategies often involve medications, which can be challenging for patients due to adherence issues and side effects. Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) represents a potential surgical alternative for managing IOP …
Lung Injury is One of the Primary Causes of Morbidity and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients. These Patients Will be Monitored for: 1) Immune Cell Activation 2) Blood-based Biomarkers. In Vitro Models Derived From These Samples Will be Treated With Novel Agent PIP-2 to Evaluate Its Efficacy.
Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a condition where high levels of inflammation damage the lung. This is a highly morbid condition with no specific pharmacologic therapies. The investigators posit that ARDS is caused due to an exaggerated activation of immune cells and that blockade …
UAB HRFD Core Center: Core A: The Hepato/Renal Fibrocystic Diseases Translational Resource
In 2005, The University of Alabama at Birmingham established a NIDDK-funded, interdisciplinary center of excellence in PKD-related research, with specific emphasis on recessive PKD. In the previous Core Center award period, we developed a Core Resource to capture clinical and mutational data for ARPKD patients ("Core A: ARPKD Clinical and …
