Feasibility and Potential Efficacy of High-Intensity Gait Training in Individuals with Cerebellar Damage

T
T. George Hornby
18 years - 85 years
All genders
Interventional
The primary objective of this study is to determine the preliminary feasibility and safety of high intensity stepping training for individuals with chronic (>6 months) cerebellar damage. Additionally, the secondary aim of this study is to assess the comparative efficacy of high intensity stepping training and conventional training on locomotor recovery, specifically walking endurance.To date, no studies have attempted to maximize both the amount and cardiovascular intensity of stepping practice in patients with cerebellar disorders.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Recruitment will occur primarily from the inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, with secondary sources of recruitment from surrounding rehabilitation facilities via flyers/laboratory contact information provided to associated clinical staff and providers.

Join the Martinsville environmental Community Action Project (MeCAP) Study! What is this study about?Researchers from Purdue University, Indiana University, and University of Illinois Chicago are partnering with the community of Martinsville, IN to address concerns about the contamination of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and other toxic chemicals in indoor air and water, and the number of cancer cases in Martinsville.  This study will:Test home air and waterTest exhaled breathTest cognition and visionConduct surveys, focus groups, and interviewsInvestigate cancer ratesWe hope the results of this study provide valuable information on the amount of PCE exposure in Martinsville, potentially related health effects, and provide a plan to help address these risks. Who can take part?You may be eligible if you are 18 years or older and live in Martinsville, IN.

Phase II Trial of Individualized Pk-Targeted Preparative Approaches in TCRaB/CD19 Depleted HCT

All genders
Phase 2
To evaluate the effectiveness of individually targeted, model-based dosing of serotherapy and chemotherapy conditioning on two-year post-HCT DFS in children with high-risk ALL, AML, MDS, or other hematological malignancies who are MRD-negative at the time of ex vivo TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted haploidentical HCTTo evaluate the effectiveness of individually targeted, model-based dosing of serotherapy and chemotherapy conditioning on two-year post-HCT DFS in children with high-risk ALL, AML, MDS, or other hematological malignancies who are MRD-positive at the time of ex vivo TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted haploidentical HCT.To characterize overall survival (OS), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-relapse free survival (GRFS), and chronic graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival (CGRFS) at 2-year post-HCT for children following model-based dosing of serotherapy and chemotherapy conditioning followed by ex vivo TCRαβCD3+/CD19+ depleted HCT.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?

Every conversation starts with the brain....Ever wonder how your brain helps you talk, tell a story, and find the right words to say?  Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington are studying  the connection between language and the brain.We are looking for adults ages 45 and older who have had a stroke in the brain at least 6 months ago.By comparing brain images with language skills, we hope to better understand how the brain supports talking, storytelling, and everyday communication — both as we get older and after a stroke.

Implementing the Addressing Symptoms with Person-Centered Treatment (ADAPT) Program in Heart Failure Care

Are  you 40 years of age or older and living with heart failure? You may be able to join a study testing a new way to support people with heart failure from home.Heart failure can affect more than your heart.  Living with this condition can bring challenges that are not always easy to manage alone. Researchers at Indiana University are studying he ADAPT, a virtual care program for people with heart failure.  It is designed to help with common concerns such as tiredness, shortness of breath, pain, low mood, worry, and trouble sleeping.   The program can be completed by phone or secure video call, so you can take part from the comfort of your home or a private place of your choosing.You may be eligible if you are 40 years of age or older, have heart failure, and you see a primary care provider and a cardiologist (heart doctor) through IU Health.

Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT)

Carmella Evans-Molina, MD
1 years - 80 years
All genders
RADIANT aims to discover and define rare and atypical forms of diabetes among individuals and families, by investigating and defining their molecular and metabolic bases, and developing processes as well as a database and biorepository to enhance further understanding of atypical diabetes by the broader research community. These refined diagnoses will be used by diabetes researchers, physicians, and patients to accurately explain their disease. This could also lead to better diagnoses, improved treatments, and potential prevention of these diseases.
