Noncombustible Nicotine Delivery Systems as Potential Harm Reduction Tools for Persistent Cigarette Smokers
This between-subjects study aims to evaluate whether e-cigarettes (ECIGS) versus oral nicotine pouches (ONPS) more readily substitute for combustible cigarettes among 200 cigarette smokers. After measuring baseline cigarette smoking rate, participants will be randomized to ECIGS or ONPS and be instructed to switch (versus smoking cigarettes) over a 6-week period. …
Scrambler Therapy With Duloxetine-based Usual Care vs Duloxetine-based Usual Care for Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy.
The investigators hypothesize that Scrambler therapy with duloxetine, compared to duloxetine-based usual care, will result in greater improvement in CIPN as measured by the BPI-Short Form. In addition, the investigators will further assess pain using the EORTC CIPN-20 and determine whether Scrambler therapy results in improved levels of function as …
Neurofeedback to Treat Depression - 2
This study tests the efficacy of a new psychotherapeutic strategy for reducing negative attention bias (and therefore depression severity) in participants with MDD. This real-time fMRI neurofeedback therapy uses cloud-based pattern classification to decode a patient's attentional state and dynamically modulate task stimuli (in a closed loop) based on this …
Maintenance Combinatorial Myeloid Immunotherapy for Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Phase II, open-label, single-arm study of CD40/Dectin-1 immunotherapy as maintenance treatment in patients with unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) who have not progressed following 4-6 months of first line (1L) chemotherapy.
Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Management Trial
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung condition that can affect children. Currently, ventilator settings commonly used in treatment are based on approaches developed for adults, and it remains unclear whether these settings are equally effective for children. Because children's bodies respond differently than adults', …
Self-collection for HPV Testing to Improve Cervical Cancer Prevention (SHIP) Trial (LMI-001-A-S04)
This clinical trial evaluates the use of self-collected vaginal samples for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in patients referred for a colposcopy and/or cervical excisional procedures to improve cervical cancer prevention. HPV is a common virus which usually causes infections that last only a few months, but sometimes can last longer. …
Comparing Numbing Techniques in Mohs Micrographic Surgery
This study seeks to determine whether adjunct regional nerve blocks reduce pain and anxiety in adult patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery for face and scalp skin cancers. Participants will be randomized to one of two arms: (1) placebo regional nerve block with sterile normal saline or (2) adjunct regional nerve …
Radiotherapy to Block Oligoprogression In Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of lung cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding targeted radiotherapy to the usual combination of drugs? This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach …
Photobiomodulation in Head and Neck Cancer-Related Chronic Lymphedema
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as a treatment for breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRL) in 2006. The investigators conducted two pilot clinical trials. Results demonstrated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of PBMT for the treatment of chronic lymphedema in head and neck cancer (HNC) …
Urinary Titin Biomarker in DMD
A universal challenge in clinical investigation of novel therapeutics is the need for quantitative, objective biomarkers that directly address the mechanisms of disease and provide information relevant to clinically meaningful functional improvement. This has been a particular challenge in rare and slowly progressive diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). …
