The overall goal of this project is to test the hypothesis that long-term, sustained sleep restriction (SR), in women, will lead to increased cardio-metabolic risk. This will be characterized by increases in visceral adiposity, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (poor dietary quality …

This observational study will evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic marker and as a monitor of disease recurrence in stage III colorectal cancer (CRC).

This clinical trial studies how well supervised exercise works in improving physical fitness before surgery in patients with bone cancer that can be removed by surgery. Supervised exercise may provide better short-term physical fitness in patients with bone cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find the safest and most effective way to administer IV antibiotics to treat acute pulmonary exacerbations (APEs) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) that are caused by pathogens, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study will test the safety and e…

Ischemia perfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of organ injury during kidney transplantation. Currently there are no treatments for IRI other than dialysis. Preliminary studies in female mice have found protection from IRI when given short term estrogen supplements. This study …

The immune system is composed of diverse cell types with different functions that act together in order to defend against infection. This pilot study will test a new technology for studying these many different cell types at very large numbers at the level of individual cells. Th…

This is a Phase 1b, open label, dose-finding study to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of MEK162 in combination with mFOLFIRI, and to evaluate the response rate, clinical benefit rate and additional safety parameters of the treatment combination

The purpose of this American Heart Association-funded and NIH-funded study is to examine circulating RNAs in the acute CHF setting, how they change with decongestive therapy, and their function in vitro and in vivo. The investigators are testing the hypothesis that ex-RNA levels…

This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma of the skin that has not responded to previous treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This research study is seeking to gain new knowledge about Recurrent, Refractory, or High Risk Leukemias in children and young adults. This study is evaluating the use of specialized testing called leukemia profiling. Once the profiling is performed, the results are evaluated by…

Around 13,000 participants are diagnosed with melanoma in the UK each year and that number is growing quicker than any other cancer. About 20% of participants will see their cancer return following their initial treatment and at present would survive a median time of 912 months. …

The purpose of this research study is: * To find out how safe the study drug, pembrolizumab, is when combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the liver. * To see how well subjects can tolerate treatment with pembrolizumab and SBRT. * To find out how often colorecta…

The "Bialystok Exercise Study in Diabetes" (BESD), is an exercise intervention study, conducted by the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Internal Medicine and Clinical Research Centre of the Medical University of Bialystok. In the project, sedentary males at different …

The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using Ultrapro mesh along with the usual bladder removal surgery, versus having the usual bladder removal surgery without the use of the mesh.

This is a 3-year longitudinal study designed to establish a personalized prediction and prevention system for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Data will be prospectively collected from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD…

This clinical trial is for men and women with high-grade gliomas. Glucose (sugar) is thought to be a contributor to tumor growth. The ketogenic diet (a high fat, low carbohydrate diet) and metformin (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat type 2 diabetes) ar…

This study is testing the effectiveness of "dry needling" for pain management and on muscle strength and leg function for those with knee pain. Dry needling consists of small, monofilament needles that are administered directly into the tissue and manipulated to make the muscle r…

Subjects will be scanned on the QT Ultrasound Breast Scanner. For subjects that may have breast calcifications and/or mass(es) and/or other finding(s) on the QT scan image(s), standard imaging modalities (e.g., mammogram and HHUS) will be performed per ACR recommendations. If av…

The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effectiveness of two motor cortex neurostimulations (tDCS and rTMS) and the trans-spinal neurostimulation (tsDCS ) in the algoneurodystrophy.
