NCT04341129
Standard breast MRI studies often have lengthy protocols that make them inherently expensive and time-consuming. Several studies of the use of abbreviated MRI protocols have shown that the shorter protocols have diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of the conventional full MRI protocol. There are also promising results of ultrafast DCE-MRI studies with shorter breast MRI protocols that provide not only morphologic but also valuable kinetic information about a lesion. The shorter imaging times achieved with the abbreviated and the ultrafast DCE-MRI protocols have the potential to increase efficiency and lower cost by decreasing time in the MRI suite, which in turn may make breast MRI accessible for population-based mass screening. The focus of the proposed research is the investigation of an abbreviated MRI protocol with ultrafast imaging using Dotarem® (Gadoterate Meglumine).
NCT03620721
The objective of this project is to examine the clinical effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention on reducing depressive symptoms among socio-economically disadvantaged, racial/ethnic minority adults and explore factors related to implementation in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). This research will be used to develop a generalizable model for delivery of streamlined mental health interventions in community based settings that will be broadly disseminated and scalable to other populations. Black and Hispanic adults are more likely than those who are White to receive depression treatment in primary care, where antidepressants are the most commonly offered treatment. However, Black and Hispanic adults are less likely than Whites to find antidepressants acceptable. A mindfulness depression intervention provided within primary care may be more accessible and acceptable for low-income, racial/ethnic minority individuals, a severely underserved population. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the clinical effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention (M-Body) on reducing depressive symptoms, compared to usual care, among low-income racial/ethnic minority adults in a FQHC. The M-Body intervention is based on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and has been tailored for the FQHC setting and patient population. Adults (N=254) with depressive symptoms will be recruited from a FQHC in the Chicago, IL area that serves majority racial/ethnic minority individuals (90%) living at or below the poverty line (74%). Half of the patients will be randomized to the M-Body intervention arm where they will receive 8-weeks of mindfulness training led by FQHC staff and the other half will be randomized to usual care. Information on factors relevant to implementation of the intervention in the FQHC will be obtained by convening a series of workgroups and individual interviews with FQHC staff, executive leadership and community stakeholders. Specific Aims: 1) Determine the effectiveness of M-Body on reducing depressive symptoms compared to enhanced usual care for racial/ethnic minority adults in a FQHC; 2) Explore potential mediators (stress related biomarkers, mindfulness) and moderators (age, personal, social, environmental stressors) of the intervention's effect; 3) Conduct a broad assessment of organizational and individual agency factors related to preparation and implementation of the M-Body intervention in a FQHC using a mixed methods approach.

NCT04861896
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a psychosocial eHealth intervention designed to improve hormone therapy adherence among Hispanic/Latinx women with breast cancer. Our proposed secondary outcomes are health-related quality of life and self-efficacy in managing hormone therapy side effects. The intervention components include breast cancer knowledge, hormone/endocrine therapy knowledge, stress awareness and management, social support, and enhanced communication and intimacy skills. The intervention will be delivered via a Smartphone application over a 12-week period. All participants will receive the intervention application (described below). Aside from using the Smartphone application for the recommended 12 weeks, participation in this study includes three assessments: baseline (at the beginning of the research study), 6-week follow-up, and 12-week follow-up.
NCT05368623
Diabetes affects over 37 million Americans and over 530 million people globally. Each diabetic patient needs at least one retinal exam per year starting immediately at the time of diagnosis if they have Type II diabetes (and starting at 5th year after disease onset if they have Type I diabetes). However, majority of diabetic patients do not get their eye exam due to multiple prohibitive factors such as cost, transportation, difficulty of taking time off from work, and inconvenience, amongst others. As a result, diabetes is the most common cause of visual impairment and blindness in working age adults in the United States and globally. Early detection via effective screening can prevent diabetes-related blindness. However, there are multiple barriers to screening. This prompted the development of RETINA-AI Galaxy™ v2.0, an automated Software as a Medical Device that screens for diabetic retinopathy in the primary care setting. This observational study was designed to validate the safety and efficacy of the RETINA-AI Galaxy™ Software-as-a-Medical-Device.
NCT01431326
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged \<21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
NCT01770145

NCT00045305
RATIONALE: Photopheresis treats the patient's blood with drugs and ultraviolet light outside the body and kills the white blood cells. Giving photopheresis, pentostatin, and radiation therapy before a donor bone marrow or stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving pentostatin before transplant and cyclosporine or mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pentostatin together with photopheresis and total-body irradiation work before donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
