May 20th, 2022 - The balance between energy expenditure (EE) and energy intake ultimately determines body weight. Resting EE is the major component (60-75%) of total EE in an adult human being. Resting EE dynamically adapts to environmental changes such as ambient temperature. In our on-going study of environmental temperature changes within and around the thermoneutral zone, we observed that healthy young men ...

May 20th, 2022 - Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically improved survival in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus type1 (HIV-1) infection. Despite recent development of more potent regimens with fewer toxicities and lower pill burden, there remains a subpopulation of subjects who fail to achieve and maintain viral suppression while on treatment. Factors known to contribute to virolog...

May 20th, 2022 - This is a randomized (individuals assigned to study treatment by chance), double-blind (individuals and study personnel will not know the identity of study treatments), placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial)-controlled study in approximately 400 adult participants with follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymph...

May 20th, 2022 - This is an open-label (both [participants and investigator] know what treatment participants will receive) and multicenter study. The study is divided into 2 parts: Part 1: pharmacokinetics portion (Week 0 to Week 14); Part 2: study extension (Week 14 to Week 114). The focus of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of golimumab. Additionally the efficacy of short-term therap...

May 20th, 2022 - This is the first randomized trial comparing Early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendiceal and colorectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, EPIC and HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery have on the patient and the appendiceal, rectal or colon cancer.

May 20th, 2022 - The natural history of neurocognitive impairment in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals remains poorly understood. While the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has led to a decreased incidence of the most severe form of HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), HIV-associated dementia, it does not appear to have impacted overall prevalence of HAND. ...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 25% of childhood cancer. Survival rates have improved, but outcomes for some subgroups, including infants and young adults remain poor, and survival for patients who relapse is < 50%, despite allogeneic stem cell transplant following second remission. CD19 immune escape has been observed by several groups following CD19-C...

May 20th, 2022 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in pediatric participants aged greater than or equal to 6 through less than 18 years with chronic plaque psoriasis.

May 20th, 2022 - This multicenter study will evaluate safety and efficacy of niraparib in combination with other anti-cancer agents. Combination 1 will combine niraparib with the anti-programmed cell death protein (PD)-1 monoclonal antibody cetrelimab, in participants with mCRPC. Combination 1 has 2 parts: in Part 1 (dose selection), participants will be enrolled to establish RP2D doses of niraparib and cetreli...

May 20th, 2022 - Participants with AML that have gone into remission and come back (relapsed) or gone into remission with a number of leukemia cells still in their system (refractory) will be recruited for this study. They will also be positive for FLT3-ITD mutation. Participants will receive a combined dose of quizartinib and milademetan that have not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration yet (m...

May 20th, 2022 - Background: Zolpidem is currently approved for the treatment of patients with insomnia. Women reported experiencing an increased incidence of adverse effects than men, resulting in a reduction of the recommended dose of zolpidem for women. Zolpidem metabolism is affected by both age and gender; the recommended dose for the elderly and female populations is 5mg daily. Subsequent studies have sho...

May 20th, 2022 - This open label (all participants know the identity of the study drug), multicenter (more than one study site), first-in-human study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a Amivantamab Monotherapy and Combination Dose Escalations and Part 2 Amivantamab Monotherapy and Combination Dose Expansions. In Part 1, participants with evaluable NSCLC will be enrolled into cohorts at increasing dose levels of Am...

May 20th, 2022 - This is a prospective (the participants are identified and then followed forward in time for the outcome of the study), multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), post-marketing surveillance ([PMS], surveillance of drugs, devices, appliances, etc., for efficacy or adverse effects, after they have been released for general sale) study. The ...

May 20th, 2022 - Objective The goals of this pilot study are: To assess the degree to which subacute changes in clinical, electrophysiological, and imaging measures can robustly predict retinal neuronal loss 12 months after acute optic neuritis. To construct a composite score that integrates these subacute changes, can itself robustly predict retinal neuronal loss 12 months after acute optic neuritis, can be va...
