Maternal Traumatic Stress and Youth Alcohol Use

K
Kathleen Crum
18 years or above
All genders
Observational
The purpose of this research is to understand how a mother’s history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may influence her child’s emotions, brain responses, and risk for starting to drink alcohol during adolescence. The findings may help guide the development of better strategies to prevent alcohol problems in youth at higher risk.

A Phase Ii Single-Arm Pilot Study of Hydroxychloroquine for the Treatment of Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (Aimss)

T
Tarah Ballinger, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Phase 2
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (a type of drug commonly used to treat joint pain caused by inflammation, swelling) in reducing joint pain associated with Aromatase Inhibitor Associated Musculoskeletal Syndrome (AIMSS) for patients with breast cancer.Interested in participating?

Docetaxel Addition In Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (Aspire)

N
Nabil Adra, MD
18 years - 100 years
Male
Phase 3
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding docetaxel to hormonal therapy and apalutamide versus hormonal therapy and apalutamide alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Hormone therapy for prostate cancer, also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), uses surgery or drugs to lower the levels of male sex hormones in a man's body. This helps slow the growth of prostate cancer. Apalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Giving docetaxel in addition to the usual treatment of hormonal therapy and apalutamide may work better in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer than the usual treatment alone.Interested in participating?

Outcomes of Stent Placement in Adults with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Venous Sinus Stenosis

B
Bradley N. Bohnstedt, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Observational
Venous sinus stenosis has been identified as a potential etiology in Adults with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). IIH can lead to significant disability including loss of vision, disabling headaches, and neurocognitive impairment. This study will analyze outcome data of stenting in adult patients with IIH and venous sinus stenosis.  THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Participants will be evaluated in clinic or in the emergency department. Determination of intervention will be made by primary surgeon in accordance to standard of care. Patients will be asked to participate in the study if they meet our inclusion criteria.

Indiana Neurosciences Biorepository at Riley Hospital for Children

J
Jignesh Tailor
100 years or below
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
The purpose of this study is to collect tissue, blood, and CSF in patients with all conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord, with the goal of developing a repository of biospecimen and clinical data for neurosurgical patients within IU Health. This may help us learn how certain conditions develop and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.  THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Patients receiving care by neurological staff within IU Health/IU Health Physicians will be identified via clinic schedule, surgery schedule, or inpatient status. Initial contact will be the approach for consent and will take place in the hospital setting (e.g. clinic, inpatient room, pre-operative area, surgery waiting area, etc.). When in-person consent is not possible, they will be contacted by phone to initiate phone or e-consent.

A Phase 1b/2 Trial of Targeted Immunotherapy with Daratumumab Following Myeloablative Total Body Irradiation (TBI)-Based Conditioning and Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults with High-Risk T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoma

J
Jodi Skiles
1 years - 39 years
All genders
Phase 1/2
A Phase 1b/2 trial to determine the safety of targeted immunotherapy with daratumumab (DARA) IV after total body irradiation (TBI)-based myeloablative conditioning and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) with high risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LLy). 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?

Testing the Addition of the Anti-Cancer Drug Venetoclax And/Or the Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy Blinatumomab to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment for Infants With Newly Diagnosed Kmt2A-Rearranged or Kmt2A-Non-Rearranged Leukemia

A
Amanda J. Saraf, DO
1 year or below
All genders
Phase 2
This phase II trial tests the addition of venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to usual chemotherapy for treating infants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-rearranged [R]) or without a KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-germline [G]). Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Blinatumomab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy may be more effective at treating patients with ALL than standard chemotherapy alone, but it may also cause more side effects. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding venetoclax and/or blinatumomab to chemotherapy for the treatment of infants with KMT2A-R or KMT2A-G ALL.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.
