Sodium Deposition in Soft Tissues of Patients with Kidney Disease
Sodium (Na+) hemostasis is abnormal in CKD patients, and this element can be deposited in the skin, muscle, and skeleton - to cope with long term sodium loading. It is known that sodium stored in this non-osmotically active way, is profoundly inflammatory. Furthermore, inflammation has been associated with several uremic …
DIFFIR - Geriatric Distal Femur Fixation Versus Replacement
The current standard of care for most intra-articular distal femur fractures (above the knee joint) in geriatric patients is a surgical fixation using plates and screws to hold the fracture pieces in the correct position, until the fracture as healed. However, surgical fixation of these complex fractures in geriatric patients, …
Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Lung Disease Study
Extra-articular (outside of joints) disease occurs in approximately 50% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, with the lung being a common site of involvement. The goals of this study are to investigate and characterize lung disease and its prevalence in early RA participants. This will be done through pulmonary function and …
Impact of Thrombocytopenia and Platelet Transfusions on Neonatal Bleeding and Inflammation
This is a prospective observational study that was designed with the following two Specific Aims: To determine whether the Immature Platelet Fraction percentage (IPF%) and the Immature Platelet Count (IPC) are better predictors of bleeding than the platelet count alone in neonates of different gestational and post-conceptional ages and with …
Evaluation of Outcome Metrics in Alexander Disease
The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of Alexander Disease, a leukodystrophy that causes neurological dysfunction. Investigators will obtain clinical outcome assessments to measure how the disease affects a patient's gross motor, fine motor, speech and language function, swallowing, and quality of life. Specimens are collected …
Study of Atezolizumab Plus BEGEV Regimen in Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients
The phase I part (safety assessment of the combination treatment) is aimed at determining the MTD of atezolizumab when combined with BEGEV schedule. 6-18 patients enrolled in this part will be treated with atezolizumab in combination with BEGEV regimen every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. Patients without a DLT in …
Melanoma Metastasized to the Brain and Steroids
This clinical trial is to clarify whether treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor alone (pembrolizumab) or two in combination (ipilimumab and nivolumab), results in clinical benefit for MM patients with brain metastases and in need of steroid treatment. Patients will be treated in four arms depending on steroid dose level at …
Disulfiram for Treatment of Retinal Degeneration
Aberrant retinoic acid signaling driven by the degenerating outer retina leads to pathological changes to the inner retina. The resulting hyperactivity of retinal ganglion cells leads to further diminution of the remaining vision in those afflicted with inherited retinal diseases. Inhibition of this pathway has led to improved visual function …
Trifluridine/ Tipiracil Plus Panitumumab Versus Trifluridine/ Tipiracil Plus Bevacizumab as First-line Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
FIRE-8 is a prospective, randomized, open label, multicenter phase II clinical trial. To evaluate the effecacy of trifluridine / tipiracil and panitumumab (Arm A) compared to trifluridine / tipiracil and bevacizumab (Arm B), participants will be randomly assigned to either Arm A or Arm B for the treatment of metastatic …
