The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess if the addition of DFDBA fibers to DBBM results in greater vital bone formation than the addition of DFDBA particles to DBBM. The study team will examine the effects of the addition of DFDBA fibers to DBBM on vital bone formation. Specifically, we will assess histologically the percent vital bone formation with each of the groups during implant placement, six months after the sinus augmentation procedure. We will also evaluate the radiographic volume achieved with both groups of materials.

This study will provide insight into whether cardiac function changes with oral Ketone Esters (KE) administered to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Plasma ketones are avidly extracted by cardiac muscle and their uptake is not dependent upon insulin or influenced by insulin resistance.

This phase III trial compares the addition of an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) to usual chemotherapy versus usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with MammaPrint Ultrahigh (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. There is some evidence from previous clinical trials that people who have a MammaPrint Ultrahigh Risk result may be more likely to respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Adding durvalumab to usual chemotherapy may be able to prevent the cancer from returning for patients with MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer.

This study is intended to help the investigators understand how a biomarker found in the blood may be used to better identify the quantity and different patterns of alcohol use. The investigators hope that the results of this study will help identify the uses of alcohol-use markers in the blood in future alcohol prevention and treatment programs. It is hoped that the information learned from this study will benefit other people in the future. The study participants will come into the lab and will (1) consume alcohol in the lab designed to produce a peak blood alcohol concentration of 0.06% and have blood collected over 6 hours followed by abstinence for 10 days to give a small blood sample 4 times and (2) to give a small amount of blood 5 times within 28 days (naturalistic drinking) and provide answers about alcohol use.

Fatigue is the most common symptom reported by end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Unfortunately, there currently is no medical management for this overwhelming feeling of tiredness. As a result, patients continue to suffer with poor quality of life and impaired daily activities. The purpose of this pilot trial is to find out if bupropion (a medicine commonly prescribed for stopping smoking, seasonal mood disorder, and depression) may help lessen fatigue in hemodialysis patients. In this study, hemodialysis participants will receive bupropion tablet orally three times a week during routine dialysis procedure for consecutive 8 weeks. Study participants will complete a battery of questionnaires to self-report fatigue, cognition, and quality of life. The study team will collect biological specimens. All these procedures will be performed at the dialysis clinic during routine dialysis procedure.

This is a single-arm, phase II study of patients with advanced liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are eligible for first-line treatment with T300+D. The invesitgators hypothesize that T300+D will be safe and tolerated in CP-B patients with HCC. HCC mostly affects disadvantaged populations with higher rates among racial/ethnic minorities, who are often not included in clinical trials (i.e., Hispanics, Blacks, underserved, low socioeconomic status) and present with more severe disease. Given there is not much data in the US patient cohort, this study provides a chance to gain that knowledge.

This international multi-center registry is used to collect existing information and outcomes for patients undergoing an operation for treatment of injuries to the brain including the blockage of blood flow to an area of the brain, an abnormal ballooning of an artery, abnormal tangling of blood vessels, abnormal formation of blood vessels, tearing of vein, and bleeding in the brain. This information is used to help predict outcomes that undergo an operation for treatment of the above-listed brain injuries. Additionally, the information is used to compare techniques and devices' effects on technical and clinical outcomes.

BOOST3 is a randomized clinical trial to determine the comparative effectiveness of two strategies for monitoring and treating patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). The study will determine the safety and efficacy of a strategy guided by treatment goals based on both intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) as compared to a strategy guided by treatment goals based on ICP monitoring alone. Both of these alternative strategies are used in standard care. It is unknown if one is more effective than the other. In both strategies the monitoring and goals help doctors adjust treatments including the kinds and doses of medications and the amount of intravenous fluids given, ventilator (breathing machine) settings, need for blood transfusions, and other medical care. The results of this study will help doctors discover if one of these methods is more safe and effective.

This research study is being done to find out if the immunotherapy drugs called CDX-301 and CDX-1140 in combination with the standard chemotherapy treatment pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Doxil) are safe and effective at controlling the cancer in patients with metastatic triple Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer, and to determine a safe dose and treatment schedule of the three drugs. This research study will also test how your immune system responds to these treatments alone and in combination.

This study is being done to collect data from treatment of patients who have diabetes with non-healing foot wounds and are being treated with a resorbable and biocompatible borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix. A borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix is used to cover the ulcer for wound management. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the borate-based bioactive glass fiber matrix in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in a real-world setting. The secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical and financial benefits in terms of quality of healing, pain, and treatment cost.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding surgery to a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination versus a standard of care immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Surgery to remove the kidney, called a nephrectomy, is also considered standard of care; however, doctors who treat kidney cancer do not agree on its benefits. It is not yet known if the addition of surgery to an immunotherapy-based drug combination works better than an immunotherapy-based drug combination alone in treating patients with kidney cancer.

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the experimental drugs GS-1720 (an oral, long-acting integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)) and GS-4182 (a prodrug of Lenacapavir (LEN)); to compare the combination of GS-1720 and GS-4182 with the current standard-of-care treatment bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) (Biktarvy), to see if the combination of GS-1720 and GS-4182 is safe and if it works for treating human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in treatment-naive people with HIV-1 (PWH). This study has two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly GS-1720 coadministered with GS-4182 versus continuing Biktarvy (BVY) in treatment-naive PWH at Week 24. Phase 3: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly GS-1720/GS-4182 fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet regimen versus continuing BVY in treatment-naive PWH at Week 48.
