Phenotyping Genetic Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
This study tests the hypothesis that non-diabetic individuals with a high genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes have impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance compared to those with a low genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes.
Ocrelizumab Discontinuation in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study of OCR treatment-discontinuation in patients with early RMS. All eligible participants will be initiated on OCR using the standard approved administration schedule of two 300 mg infusions separated by 14 days (i.e., Days 0 and 14) for a total …
Daily Adaptive Radiation Therapy an Individualized Approach for Carcinoma of the Cervix
This is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer will translate into a decreased rate of acute gastrointestinal toxicity compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The timepoint for this assessment will be at …
Low Dose Fat-Induced Insulin Resistance
The primary goal of this study is to determine the dose of fatty acids that acutely induces mild insulin resistance in healthy volunteers. We hypothesize that a low-dose of fatty acid infusion (Intralipid/heparin) will cause a mild insulin resistance. The dose of fatty acid infusion that reliably causes mild insulin …
Physiological Effects of ANGPTL3 Variants in Humans
To evaluate the role of ANGPTL3, on lipid metabolism. To explore the role of this protein on glucose metabolism.
Evaluating Sublingual Dexmedetomidine For Moderate To Severe Agitation In Inpatients With Schizophrenia Or Bipolar Disorder
An open-label, randomized, active control inpatient trial to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of sublingual dexmedetomidine for the treatment of agitation in inpatients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale - Excited Component (PANSS-EC) and Agitation-Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES). Lorazepam will serve as …
Iron Replacement to Reduce Anemia During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
This is an open-label, single institution study evaluating the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose monotherapy in patients with thoracic, breast, GU and GI malignancies undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the goal of undergoing surgical resection.
Ipilumumab and Nivolumab With or Without Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety of combining ipilimumab and nivolumab with hypofractionated radiotherapy to a single tumor in patients with metastatic melanoma. Another purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ipilimumab, nivolumab and hypofractionated radiotherapy on the cancer as compared to …
A Radiotracer ([18F]FluorThanatrace) by PET/CT for the Imaging of Breast Cancer
This phase II trial tests whether [18F]FluorThanatrace by positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can improve imaging techniques in patients with breast cancer undergoing a standard of care biopsy or surgery. [18F]FluorThanatrace is a new radioactive tracer, which is a type of imaging agent that is labeled with a radioactive …
The Diaphragmatic Initiated Ventilatory Assist (DIVA) Trial
DIVA is a pragmatic randomized clinical trial (RCT) to determine: among (P) preterm infants born 24-27 6/7 weeks gestation undergoing extubation from mechanical ventilation, whether (I) Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) (C) compared with Non-synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NS-NIPPV), will reduce the incidence of (O) extubation failure …
