NCT07153029
The increasing prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) among older adults, coupled with high overdose rates and cognitive impairments associated with opioid use, highlights a critical gap in addiction treatment. Cognitive impairments can persist despite treatment and negatively impact recovery outcomes, yet cognitive screening and interventions are rarely integrated into OUD care. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of remotely delivered, smartphone-based cognitive assessments (administered through NeuroUX web-based software) for older adults (55+) in methadone treatment. The tasks have been "gamified" to make them engaging and brief, which could be appealing to patients. They will complete the tasks for 15 days using the phone provided or their own phone. During days 6-15 of testing, tasks will become incrementally more difficult based on participant performance to assess the feasibility of cognitive training. Cognitive training uses engaging games or tasks to strengthen thinking skills like memory and focus, much like physical exercise strengthens the body. Adherence, acceptability, and usability of the tasks will be assessed. Secondary analyses will explore relationships between task performance and participant characteristics (e.g., baseline cognitive functioning, methadone dose, timing of methadone dose). Findings from this pilot study will provide foundational data for a future grant application to develop and test digital cognitive assessment and training interventions tailored to older adults in addiction treatment. By addressing a critical yet understudied aspect of OUD care this research has the potential to enhance treatment engagement, improve clinical outcomes, and support long-term recovery in the growing older population.

NCT00006518
BACKGROUND: * A number of important scientific advances can be made through the study of blood, bone marrow, tumor, or other tissue samples from patients with HIV infection, infection with Kaposi s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV), infection with other oncogenic viruses, or cancer. * This protocol provides a mechanism to affect a variety of such studies. OBJECTIVES: -Acquisition of serum, circulating cells, bone marrow, and tumor or normal tissue samples from participants with HIV infection, KSHV infection, or with cancer. ELIGIBILITY: -Eligibility criteria include age 18 years or older and at least one of the following: Exposure risk to HIV, KSHV, or HPV; HIV seropositive; KSHV seropositive; EBV seropositive; HTLV-1 seropositive; malignancy, Castleman s disease, or skin lesions with appearance of Kaposi s sarcoma; or cervical or anal intraepithelial lesion. DESIGN: * Up to 999 subjects will be enrolled in this study. * Blood samples may be collected at the initial visit, and at follow-up visits. * Other fluids/excretions may be collected (such as urine, saliva, semen, and stool). * Tumor samples may be obtained by fine needle aspirate, by removal of pleural or peritoneal fluid, by skin punch biopsy, or by excisional biopsy, providing the tumor is accessible with minimal risk to the participants. * Specific risks will be described in a separate consent to be obtained at the time of the biopsy. * Samples will be studied in the HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch, CCR, NCI; laboratories in NCI-Frederick; or those of collaborating investigators.
NCT00039689
There is evidence that early and aggressive treatment with antiretroviral drugs can prevent the loss of immune cell function that accompanies HIV infection. This study will use leukapheresis (drawing blood, separating out the white cells and returning the blood to the patient) to obtain blood cells from HIV-infected patients in either the acute or chronic stage of infection who are being treated with early highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Leukapheresis is necessary to obtain enough cells to delineate the response of B cells to CD4+ T cell help, the CD8 factors associated with suppression of viral replication and normalization of immune function, and natural killer function relative to HIV disease. Study participants will be adult (older than 18 years) HIV primary or acutely affected patients (those with a history of exposure to HIV but not yet showing chronic symptoms of HIV disease) and HIV chronically infected patients (those infected with HIV for longer than 12 months or showing other symptoms of HIV disease) who are not receiving HAART at the beginning of the study. The study seeks to enroll 30 primary and 30 chronic patients. Pregnant women will not be enrolled in the study; women who become pregnant will be dropped from the study. Leukapheresis will be performed on each patient before HAART therapy begins and then three times a year. Each session will take between 1 and 3 hours. This longitudinal study will enable researchers to examine the function of certain B cells, natural killer cells, and CD8+ T cells in people who do not have chronic HIV disease and in those who do have the disease and are treated with HAART.
NCT01660984
Background: \- Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare cancer of the thyroid gland. In children and adults, it is often part of a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2 (MEN2). MEN2 is usually caused by a genetic mutation, and it can cause a number of problems in addition to MTC. These problems include adrenal gland tumors, hormone changes, and problems with the bones and other organs. Not much is known about how MTC develops over time, especially in people with MEN2. Researchers want to study MTC in children and adults and see how it affects their growth and development. Objectives: \- To study how medullary thyroid cancer affects children and adults over time. Eligibility: \- Children and adults who have medullary thyroid cancer. Design: * Participants will be screened with a brief physical exam and medical history. Blood and tissue samples will be collected to see whether participants have the MEN2 genetic mutation. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study. However, participants will be receiving standard care for MTC. They may be eligible for other clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. * Participants will have regular study visits every 6 to 12 months to evaluate their MTC and any treatment. Blood tests, imaging studies, and other tests may be performed as needed to monitor the disease. * Participants and their parents/guardians will also complete questionnaires about their health and emotions during the study.
NCT01859299
Background: \- Uveitis is a general term describing a group of inflammatory diseases of the eye. The causes of uveitis are not fully understood. Researchers want to look at bacteria in the body that might be related to the inflammation. They will study the natural bacteria present in the gut and intestines of people with and without uveitis to understand their potential role in these diseases. Objectives: \- To study the intestinal bacteria in people with and without uveitis or ocular inflammatory disease. Eligibility: * Individuals at least 18 years of age who have uveitis or ocular inflammatory disease. * Individuals at least 18 years of age without uveitis or ocular inflammatory disease to serve as healthy controls. Design: * Participants may have more than one study visit (approximately 2-4) to assess possible changes in microbiome composition associated with treatment or disease activity. * At each visit, participants will have a full eye examination, including vision and eye pressure tests. They will provide blood samples for testing. Participants will also be provided a stool collection kit to take home. The samples may be sent or brought back to the clinic. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
NCT06905197
This study is designed to evaluate safety and anti-tumor activity of DZD6008 in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.
NCT07213830
The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate dosage, safety and effectiveness of a new drug, IPN01203, in adults with advanced solid tumours. Advanced solid tumours are cancers that can occur in various organs or tissues and have spread from their original site to nearby tissues or other parts of the body. There will be two parts to this study: * Phase Ia: This part (called dose escalation) will find the dose range that shows activity against the tumour and can be tolerated by participants by testing different increasing doses of IPN01203. * Phase Ib: This part (called dose optimisation) will assess the ability of the drug to prevent, slow down, or stop the growth of tumours and how the body processes and responds to the drug when given in "low dose" or "high dose." It will also further explore the safety and tolerability. An additional part (phase II) may be added to the study based on the results of phase Ia and phase Ib. Each part will consist of the following periods: * A screening period (up to 28 days) to assess whether the participant can take part, requiring at least 1 visit to the study centre. * A treatment period where all eligible participants will receive IPN01203. Requires approximately 15 visits for the first 2 months followed by 3 visits every month from month 3 until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, upon participant's withdrawal of consent, investigator decision, or study termination by the sponsor, whichever occurs first. There will also be one visit at the end of treatment (EoT), 30 days after the last administration of the study intervention or prior to the start of new anticancer treatment, whichever is earlier. Additionally, there will be one visit (the safety follow-up visit) 90 days after the last administration of study intervention or prior to the start of new anticancer treatment, whichever is earlier. In both parts of the study, participants will undergo blood sampling, urine collection, physical examinations and clinical evaluations. They may continue some other medications, but the details need to be recorded. Each participant will be in this study until death or withdrawal from the study. IPN01203 will be provided to participants who tolerate it for as long as their disease does not progress. Participants may withdraw consent to participate at any time.
NCT03924401
This trial will see if extended abatacept administration (combined with a standard regimen of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil) will prevent acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and adolescents receiving unrelated donor (URD) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), without compromising their engraftment or reconstitution of protective immunity to infection. The study will enroll 30 pediatric patients with serious non-malignant hematologic diseases (NMHD) undergoing URD HSCT. The trial will include patients with 7/8 donors and those with 8/8 (matched) donors. All participants will receive 8 doses of abatacept. Recruitment is expected to last for about 2 years and participants will be followed for up to 3 years.
