Female
What is the purpose of this study?Dietary supplementation with dried plums has been shown to reduce bone loss in women. The purpose of this research study is to understand how dried plums are doing this by studying the immune cell, gut microbe, and bone responses.Who can take part?Women between the ages of 60-75 years who are in generally good health.
 Gut Feeling: Can What You Eat Affect Your Colon Cancer Risk?                                                              The food environment, microbial cysteine metabolism, and cancer disparities

DID YOU KNOW?... Colorectal cancer(CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. CRC is a serious health problem in the U.S., and African American/Black individuals are affected more than others.  What is this study about?This study will look at a nutrient called cysteine. We think that factors like a person’s diet and stress levels can affect how cysteine breaks down in the gut. We want to see how this can impact a person’s risk of CRC. To find out, we will study the foods people eat and their stress levels.Who can take part?Adults aged 45-75 who are considered to be at high risk of developing colorectal cancer (have a history of polyps), identify as Black/African-American or non-Hispanic White and have no food allergies, dietary restrictions, or therapeutic diets.

HEALEY ALS Platform: Multi-Center, Multi-Regimen clinical trial evaluating investigational products for the treatment of ALS

Interventional
ALS is a degenerative disorder of the nerves controlling movement (“motor neurons”). ALS causes muscles to become weak, which leads to paralysis. ALS is a condition that gradually damages the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.  Currently, there are no treatments to prevent, reverse, or stop the development of ALS.  However, there are some treatments that may slow down the progression of the disease. We are doing this research to find out if DNL343 can help with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).  We also want to find out if DNL343 is safe to take without causing too many side effects. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY

Phase 1 Imaging Study of 68Ga-R12961 in Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1
The goals of this study are:To describe the safety of 68Ga-R12961To describe preliminary imaging efficacy of 68Ga-R12961 in participants with advanced solid tumors.To compare 68Ga-R12961 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans with standard of care imaging in detecting tumor lesions among participants.To describe the image quality of 68Ga-R12961.To determine organ and whole-body dosimetry of 68Ga-R12961.To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of 68Ga-R12961.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.  Interested in participating?

Improving Measurement of Neonatal High Blood Pressure Using the Boppli Device

All genders
Observational
The purpose of this study is to test how well a new soft, wearable blood pressure device (Boppli™) measures blood pressure in babies compared to the standard blood pressure cuff used in the NICU. We will also look at whether cuff measurements may temporarily raise a baby’s blood pressure. Information from this study may help improve how high blood pressure is monitored in infants in the future.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential participants will be identified through review of hospitalized infants in the Simon Family Tower NICU by the neonatal nephrology and neonatology research teams based on documented eligibility criteria in the medical record. Once an eligible infant is identified, the primary clinical team will be consulted to confirm that it is appropriate to approach the family. A trained member of the study team will then contact the parent or guardian in person in the NICU or remotely via phone call to introduce the study and review participation. Clinicians will be identified through through documentation in Cerner or through the daily unit attending assignment sheet. RNs will be identified at the bedside at the time of communication about the study or through documentation in Cerner.
