We are doing this study to compare 2 different surgeries for epithelial ovarian cancer. We want to know if an investigational surgical procedure called minimally invasive surgery can offer better results than the standard surgery, which is called laparotomy. We hope to find out if one procedure or the other is preferable when it comes to preventing cancer from returning and giving patients a better quality of life after their surgery.
We are doing this study to find out if a small dose (0.5 mg) of a drug called colchicine (the study drug) is beneficial for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). We want to know if it has the potential to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and corrective leg surgeries for people who have PAD. The study drug is FDA-approved for the treatment of some inflammatory conditions (e.g., gout), but it is not approved for the treatment of PAD.
We are doing this study to support vaccine development by studying blood cells of the immune system.
This study has two parts. In the first part, people will receive either the study medicine called oral levosimendan or a placebo, which looks the same but has no medicine. During this first part, people will visit the study site about seven to ten times and have several phone calls. In the second part of the study, everyone will receive the study medicine. If someone joins the second part, they will have more study visits and phone calls. How long a person stays in the study can be different for each person. Some people may be in the study for about thirty four weeks, while others may take part for up to one hundred twelve weeks. This consent form only covers the first part of the study, and a new consent will be signed before starting the second part.
We are doing this study to test different combinations of ultrasound stimulation that might help restore arm strength for people dealing with arm weakness after a stroke. We want to find out which combination appears to have the most positive benefit for enhancing motor function and boosting brain activity.
If you decide to be part of the study, here's what will happen: - You'll get check-ups and blood tests. - Doctors will take pictures of your brain using special machines called CT or MRI. - Your heart will be checked with a test called an ECG. - You'll have a special treatment called Exablate to help medicine reach your brain better. You might get up to 6 rounds of treatment over about 15 weeks, but only if the doctors thinks it's safe to keep going.
We are doing this study to learn more about why the right side of the heart doesn't work well in certain heart conditions. We're using heart tissue samples from people with specific heart problems to help us make these important discoveries.
We are doing this study to collect blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients who have breast cancer that has spread to the brain and/or spinal cord. We hope that by analyzing these samples, we can find out how effective different cancer medications are at treating metastases to the leptomeninges (tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord). We also want to do genetic testing on these samples to look for cancer mutations that can give us clues about how people might respond to different therapies or which therapies are most likely to be helpful.
