Establishing the Prevalence and Incidence of Asymptomatic Urethritis and Urethritis Associated STIs in a Cohort of Young Men (The Quantifying Urethral Inflammation, Etiology, and Timing [QUIET] Study)

S
Stephen Jordan
18 years - 26 years
Male
Observational
Acute urethritis (i.e., inflammation of the male urethra) affects millions of men within the United States annually. STI management has proven challenging due to the prevalence of asymptomatic infections and because men often fail to seek STI care until they experience pronounced symptoms. To date, very little is known about asymptomatic urethritis, and we don’t know what infections cause it and how long it lasts. Key questions that need answering are: (1) How common is asymptomatic urethritis? (2) What causes asymptomatic urethritis besides gonorrhea and chlamydia? (3) How often does asymptomatic urethritis resolve without antibiotics?THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential participants will be recruited by researchers and contacted directly by e-mail, mail, phone, appointment or via clinician referral.

Accepts healthy volunteer
Female
Why is this study being done?Researchers at Purdue University are doing a study to learn more about how iron levels affect women's qualify of life and cognitive function during perimenopause.  Potential findings from this study may help us to better understand how nutrition affects perimenopausal women. This may then help policy makers set better recommendations for perimenopausal women. Who can take part?Females, who are experiencing natural perimenopause.Must be able to attend multiple study visits at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.
Standing Strong: A Study for People with Chronic Kidney Disease

Standing Strong: A Study for People with Chronic Kidney Disease

B
Brandon Kistler
45 years - 79 years
All genders
Researchers at Purdue University are studying why some people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be more likely to lose their balance or fall.People with CKD can sometimes have changes in their bones, blood vessels, or brain that may affect strength, balance, or walking. We want to learn more about what causes these changes and how to reduce the risk of falling.By joining this study, you can help us learn what affects balance and strength in people with CKD and how to lower the risk of falling.

S1703 Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring in Patients With Hormone Receptor Positive Her2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

J
Jonathan L. Berkowitz, MD, PhD
18 years or above
All genders
Interventional
This randomized research trial studies how well serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring works in monitoring patients with hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Using markers to prompt when scans should be ordered may be as good as the usual approach to monitoring disease.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?

Abatacept in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis

S
Suparna C. Clasen, MD, MSCE
18 years or above
All genders
Phase 3
Interventional
The primary aim is to test whether abatacept, as compared to placebo, is associated with a reduction in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among participants hospitalized with myocarditis secondary to an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). The primary outcome, MACE, is a composite of first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal sudden cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, significant ventricular arrythmias, significant bradyarrythmias, or incident heart failure. Interested in participating?
