  • Evaluation of Pain Measurement Device

    This longitudinal observational study will attempt to objectively measure pain with an experimental, non-invasive device. Patients and volunteers will receive a baseline screening with psychophysical tests and questionnaires. Investigators will apply the device to measure pain during routine clinical care and correlate patients pain ratings and analgesia requirements to that measured by the device. A more standardized approach with experimental pain stimuli will be pursued in human volunteer studies.

  • DVD-Based Training Program in Self-Hypnosis for Children

    The proposed study is designed to utilize a self-hypnosis DVD home-training program for parents to use with their children to teach self-hypnosis techniques for inducing relaxation and hypnotic analgesia. These relaxation techniques can be employed to manage anticipatory anxiety, distress, and pain during an invasive medical procedure, for example, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). The study will examine the efficacy of this intervention for children undergoing VCUG procedures.

  • Early Screening and Treatment of Women With Prediabetes in Pregnancy

    The investigators hope to learn whether treatment with medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for pregnant women with prediabetes decreases the rate and severity of impaired glucose tolerance later in pregnancy and improves perinatal outcomes. Given the rising rates of obesity and diabetes in this country even among young women and the adverse affects of diabetes of pregnant women and their infants, the investigators feel that it is important to not only identify women at high risk for diabetes early in pregnancy but determine the appropriate management strategy

  • Efficacy Study of Vaginal Mesh for Anterior Prolapse

    The primary aim of this double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the hypothesis that the addition of a standardized technique of interpositional synthetic polypropylene mesh placement improves the one-year outcome of vaginal reconstructive surgery for anterior prolapse compared to traditional vaginal reconstructive surgery without mesh.

  • Everolimus in Combination With Exemestane in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women With Estrogen Receptor Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Are Refractory to Letrozole or Anastrozole

    There are no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on a non steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI). In light of the need for new treatment options for postmenopausal women after failure of prior NSAI therapy, the purpose of this Phase III study is to compare efficacy and safety of a treatment with exemestane + everolimus to exemestane + placebo in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer refractory to NSAI.

  • Growth Observational Study

    This study was a multicenter, prospective cohort study to define postnatal longitudinal growth for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The objectives were: 1) to develop postnatal growth curves for VLBW preterm infants that would permit an assessment of growth velocity; 2) to relate growth velocity and nutritional practices (duration of parenteral nutrition, age at first enteral feeding, and age at full enteral feeding); 3) to compare growth velocity in infants who are small-for-gestational age (SGA) with infants who are appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA); and 4) to relate growth velocity to several common, major morbidities, including chronic lung disease (CLD), nosocomial infection (or late-onset infection) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). These growth data may be useful in identifying preterm infants who are growing slowly despite current nutritional support and in designing and performing clinical trials of nutritional interventions.

  • Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of PLN-74809 in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

    A Phase 2a, multicenter, 4-part, randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of once-daily treatment with PLN-74809 in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

  • Haploidentical Allogeneic Transplant With Post-transplant Infusion of Regulatory T-cells

    Patients with hematologic malignancies will receive myeloablative chemotherapy followed by stem cell rescue with bone marrow or hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cells collected by apheresis from a filgrastim- (G-CSF)-mobilized haploidentical related-donor, ie, hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (HSCT).

  • Hydroxychloroquine/Atorvastatin in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Knee

    The purpose of this study of a combination therapy of hydroxychloroquine and atorvastatin is to learn about the effects in inflammation and pain in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee. These medications are FDA approved and commercially available.

  • Efficacy of Gamma Camera Used Intraoperatively for ID of Sentinel Lymph Nodes w/ Lymphoscintigraphy

    This study evaluates the ability of a prototype intraoperative handheld gamma camera (pIHGC) to image (detect) sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in melanoma and breast cancer during surgical excision, as compared to standard of care intraoperative gamma probes (GP). The unit of study in this trial was SNLs rather individual participants. Each device was assessed for relative node detection sensitivity (S) of those SLNs.

  • Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Obese Adolescents

    Large studies of children show that over half of the children in the United States of America do not have enough vitamin D stored in their bodies. In children who are overweight or obese, the percentage of children who do not have enough vitamin D is even higher.

    Vitamin D is essential for the body to maintain normal calcium levels and strong bones. Recent research shows that through the actions of inflammatory markers, levels in the blood that measure inflammation in the body, vitamin D plays many other important roles in the body like helping to regulate the immune system, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and body fat.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on inflammatory markers in obese and overweight adolescents. As a secondary goal, we would like to evaluate cardiometabolic risk factors and the correlation between body mass index, vitamin D stores and inflammatory cytokines.

    In an observed, randomized controlled trial over 6 months we will provide observed vitamin D supplementation or placebo to healthy obese and overweight adolescents and measure changes in inflammatory markers, lipids, blood pressure, and mean blood sugars. We hypothesize that administration of vitamin D to these patients will improve their inflammatory profile and cardiometabolic risk factors (blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid profile).

  • Extended Access of Momelotinib in Adults With Myelofibrosis

    The primary objective of this study is to provide extended access and assess long-term safety of momelotinib (MMB) in participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) or post-polycythemia vera or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (Post-PV/ET MF) enrolled in studies GS-US-352-0101 (NCT01969838), GS-US-352-1214 (NCT02101268), GS-US-352-1154 (NCT02124746), SRA-MMB-301 who are currently receiving treatment with MMB (available as 50mg,100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg tablets) and have not experienced progression of disease. The secondary objective is to assess overall survival (OS) and leukemia free survival (LFS) in all subjects.

  • Functional Luminal Imaging Probe (FLIP) Topography Use in Patients With Scleroderma and Trouble Swallowing

    FLIP topography has been FDA cleared to evaluate a variety of esophageal conditions, but has never been evaluated in patients with scleroderma. The investigators hope to evaluate this technology in patients who have scleroderma and various esophageal symptoms, and compare to non-scleroderma patients.

  • Daratumumab-SC for Highly Sensitized Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation

    The purpose of this study is to test whether Daratumumab-SC, a drug that eliminates antibody-producing plasma cells, can effectively lower the level of preformed antibodies in patients awaiting heart transplantation. These preformed antibodies limit the number of donor hearts that are compatible for the patients. If Daratumumab-SC can effectively remove preformed, donor-specific antibodies, then highly allosensitized patients will have more compatible hearts available to them, potentially decreasing transplant waitlist time and reducing mortality.
