Genetic Determinants of Persistent Lactic Acidosis in Major Burn Patients: A Whole-Genome Sequencing Approach

F
Faith Zor
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Observational
The purpose of this study is to find out whether certain genetic differences may explain why some severely burned patients continue to have high lactic acid levels in their blood even after receiving proper medical treatment. We will collect a small blood sample from each patient and analyze their DNA to look for gene variations related to how the body produces energy. Understanding this may help doctors better predict which patients are at higher risk and develop more personalized treatments in the future.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Burn patients with TBSA equal to or greater than 20% will be identified by burn unit team on the burn service, this is comprised of attending, APPs, and fellow. Patients with TBSA of 20% or greater will have the resuscitation protocol activated, and resuscitation will be followed with serial lactate. Response to resuscitation will be assessed with multiple parameters, including lactate, urine output, and overall clinical status. Once these patients are identified, they will be approached by the team, and the research study will be discussed with them. If they are intubated or not in a state to provide consent due to critical clinical condition, the study will be discussed with LAR who will sign on patient's behalf. This will be done in person.

A Study to Compare Blinatumomab Alone to Blinatumomab With Nivolumab in Patients Diagnosed With First Relapse B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL)

S
Sandeep Batra, MD
1 year - 30 years
All genders
Phase 2
Interventional
This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.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?

The purpose of this study is to compare the two approaches for monitoring pancreatic cysts. The study doctors want to compare more frequent monitoring vs less frequent monitoring in order to learn which monitoring method leads to better outcome for patients with pancreatic cysts.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.

DID YOU KNOW?  Herbicides are widely used in the Heartland, and farmers are using these chemicals more than ever before. Several studies have raised concern that some of the herbicides  may be associated with reproductive disorders, certain birth defects, and developmental disorders. What are herbicides? Herbicides are a type of pesticide that are used to protect our food crops, trees, vines, and pastures from harmful weeds. Some herbicides are also used in and around our homes, parks, sports fields, and golf courses. Herbicide use has increased significantly since the 1990s and is projected to rise rapidly on corn and soybean farms in the Midwest for the next 5-10 years.  As more pounds are applied, higher levels of human exposure are expected.    What Is the Heartland Study?Mother-infant pairs living in the Midwest will be followed throughout pregnancy, infancy and early childhood to observe health and development in order to better understand the effects of prenatal herbicide exposures. Your participation will help researchers to increase their knowledge about how herbicide exposure might affect pregnancy, newborn health, child childhood development, and future generations.

Healthy Females Needed To Help Develop A Vaccine for Chlamydia (IMPACT Study)

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is the most reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. Untreated chlamydia infection in women can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and/or ectopic pregnancy. Although chlamydia rates are at an all-time high, no vaccine is available because we don't yet understand how immunity to chlamydia develops. The IMPACT study is a case-control study of women who are either chlamydia-naive (control group) or chlamydia-exposed (case group). The overall goal of the study is to understand how immunity develops to chlamydia so we can design a vaccine to protect women from infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancies. We are recruiting healthy women aged 18-40 who have never had chlamydia before to be part of the control group. You will not be exposed to chlamydia or given any vaccine; we are simply collecting blood, swabs, and genital specimens as part of the control group.This study has the potential to inform whether we should or should not be screening for gastrointestinal CT infections in women who have no symptoms, and also determine if an oral CT vaccine may be feasible in the future.
