This research study is being conducted to collect information on those who have been diagnosed with a disease related to a heart valve dysfunction or abnormality, needing surgical repair, or replacement of the affected valve. This research study is collecting information about the disease and the treatment. Participants will be …
This study will determine if ziltivekimab, a monoclonal antibody, can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. Previous studies showed that ziltivekimab can lower inflammation, which may have a positive effect on heart failure symptoms. The HERMES study will look more into this effect. Also, the …
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used in the treatment of pain and inflammation. Mounting evidence indicates that rectal administration of NSAIDs is also effective in preventing pancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by an unknown mechanism. Alterations in the salivary and fecal microbiome have been observed in patients with …
The specific Aims of CAPS5 will be: Aim #1: To evaluate pancreatic fluid mutations and circulating pancreatic epithelial cells as accurate markers of neoplasia by comparing their prevalence in cases with sporadic pancreatic neoplasia to healthy and disease controls. Aim #2: To compare the prevalence of pancreatic fluid mutations and …
Studies show that hormones affect the brain’s fear extinction network, which is relevant for therapy involving exposure and ritual prevention (EX/RP), a first-line treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This study will examine the effect of delivering EX/RP to women during different phases in their menstrual cycle to determine the effects of hormones on the …
The research study is being conducted to study brain patterns of negative emotion and develop personalized brain stimulation protocols to disrupt these patterns with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). First, we will use functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data to generate a negative affect map for each subject. Then, we will …
This dual-site, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled, crossover study is to assess the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of SEEG-guided multi-lead DBS in 10 participants suffering from severe symptoms of chronic, treatment-refractory OCD. Stage 1: Invasive SEEG Monitoring and Recovery Goal: To perform stimulation mapping studies and SEEG recordings, that aid in …
This is an open-label phase 1 study to assess the safety and feasibility of autologous T cells expressing a single-chain scFv targeting GFRa4 with tandem TCR/CD3 and 4-1BB (TCR/4-1BB) costimulatory domains (referred to as CART-GFRa4) in patients with incurable medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). This is a Phase 1 study evaluating …
Millions of women worldwide have accidental leakage of urine they cannot control after giving birth. Dealing with this problem can be embarrassing and can even add to feelings of anxiety or depression.
