MethaLoad Dose-Finding Study

MethaLoad Dose-Finding Study

18 years - 99 years
All genders
Do you use fentanyl and want to start methadone? You may qualify for a paid research study at Penn Medicine. Methadone is usually started at a low dose that goes up slowly over days to weeks. Some people stay in withdrawal while their dose catches up. This study is testing whether a higher first dose, called a "loading dose," is safe and relieves withdrawal faster. You will stay 2 nights in a Penn Medicine hospital. Doctors and nurses will give you methadone, watch you closely, and treat withdrawal symptoms with other medications. When you leave the hospital, we will connect you directly to a methadone clinic so you can keep getting treatment. We will check in with you by phone over the next 30 days.

Veranda SSc

99 years or below
All genders
The objective of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of nerandomilast in patients with SSc at an oral dose of 18 mg bid compared to placebo on top of standard of care.
Flurpiridaz F-18 PET/CT for Parathyroid Imaging

Flurpiridaz F-18 PET/CT for Parathyroid Imaging

18 years - 99 years
All genders
This research study is evaluating a new imaging approach using F-18 flurpiridaz PET/CT to help locate abnormal parathyroid glands in people with primary hyperparathyroidism.Patients with known or suspected abnormal parathyroid glands may be eligible to participate. The study will compare F-18 flurpiridaz PET/CT with the imaging tests currently used as part of standard clinical care to determine how well each method identifies abnormal parathyroid glands.

Safety and feasibility of ATTN201 repeated focused ultrasound stimulation for obsessive compulsive disorder

99 years or below
All genders
We are requesting a reliance agreement with Advarra for a randomized control trial using the ATTN201 device for the treatment of OCD. The ATTN201 device will provide low-intensity focused ultrasound to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The device is a safe, easy-to-use, helmet-like device meant to be used in-clinic or at home. The treatment will consist of 8 ultrasound sessions over the course of 4 weeks.

A 52-Week Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Delgocitinib Cream in Adult Participants with Lichen Sclerosus

99 years or below
All genders
This is a multi-site, interventional trial which evaluates the efficacy of delgocitinib cream for treating mild to severe lichen sclerosus (LS) in adults. The trial is conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 of the trial enrolls female participants with LS and results in the selection of the optimal dose for Part 2. The selected dose will then be evaluated in Part 2, which will enroll both female and male participants. Assessment of efficacy and safety of delgocitinib cream in male participants with LS will be evaluated in a substudy. The trial primarily focuses on female subjects, because LS is more likely to affect females than males. For each participant, the trial will last at least 55 weeks and up to 60 weeks.
