NCT03493958
Background: Many people with alcohol use disorders have a sleep problem called insomnia. One treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Researchers want to study adults experiences with a web-based CBT-I program called SHUTi. Objective: To test if a web-based insomnia therapy program works well and helps people with alcohol use disorders. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-65 who joined another protocol and have been an inpatient on that protocol at least 14 days. Design: Participants will be screened with questions about insomnia. They will wear a device on their wrist and finger for one night while sleeping. This checks for sleep apnea. Participants will complete 1 of 2 programs: 1. SHUTi: Participants will start using the program in the hospital and finish it about 6 weeks later. They will get a computer tablet to access SHUTi at least 3 times a week. They will get surveys, stories, videos, and interactive data about sleep. They will complete at least 5 daily sleep diaries every week. SHUTi will be customized based on the diaries. 2. Education-only program: This is like SHUTi but it is not interactive and is not customized. Participants will access it at least once a week. They will finish at their own pace within 6 weeks. These participants may access SHUTi later. All participants will wear a device on their wrist for 4 straight days at several different time points. It records activity and sleep data. They will do this 3 times. Participants will answer questions about the program before starting it and after finishing. Interviews will be audio recorded. Participants will do follow-up surveys 6-7 months after they are discharged from the hospital.

NCT03581305
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a serious disease with no cure. Some people with HIV have depression and other mood problems. They can have problems with thinking and memory. Researchers think 2 chemicals in the brain may cause those problems. The chemicals are serotonin and dopamine. The researchers want to take images to learn more about those chemicals in HIV patients. Objective: To learn how HIV affects serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-70 with HIV who have been on antiretroviral treatment for at least 1 year Healthy adults ages 18-70 All participants must be already enrolled in protocol 13-N-0149. Design: * Participants will be screened with a urine drug test. The results could be shared with insurance companies. * Participants who could be pregnant will have a pregnancy test. * Participants may have a physical exam and blood tests. * Participants will have 1 or 2 positron emission tomography (PET) scans. A needle will guide a thin plastic tube (catheter) into an arm vein. A radioactive drug will be injected into the plastic tube. This is a tracer that helps researchers understand the PET images. * Participants who have the dopamine scan will have to fast for 4-6 hours before the scan. They will take a pill to help direct the tracer to the brain one hour before the scan. * Each scan will last about 1.5 hours. * Participants will be asked to drink a lot of fluids and empty their bladder frequently for the rest of the day after each scan.
NCT02019693
Background: * Papillary Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) is the second most common histologic subtype of kidney cancer, accounting for approximately 10-15% of cases * Type 1 papillary RCC occurs in both sporadic and hereditary forms, which are histologically identical. Non familial type 1 papillary RCC can present as both solitary renal tumors and as bilateral, multifocal disease * There are no standard agents of proven efficacy for patients with advanced papillary RCC. * Patients with disease localized to the kidney are managed surgically while patients with advanced/unresectable disease are usually managed in the community with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway antagonists or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors. * Activating mutations of mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) were identified in the germline of affected hereditary papillary renal cancer (HPRC) patients, who have a predilection for the development of bilateral, multifocal type 1 papillary RCC. Somatic MET mutations have been found in a subset of patients with non-inherited, sporadic papillary renal carcinoma * The investigational agent Capmatinib (INC280) is a selective MET inhibitor lacking activity against the VEGF pathway * This is a proof-of-concept study using INC280 in patients with papillary RCC to test the idea that effectively blocking the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET pathway will lead to clinical activity in patients with papillary renal cell cancer Objectives: Primary Objective: -To determine the overall response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1) in patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma treated with single agent INC280 Eligibility: * Diagnosis of hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) or sporadic papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) * Patients with bilateral multifocal disease can have tumors localized to the kidney or have metastatic disease * Patients with sporadic papillary RCC (but without multifocal disease) should have advanced disease that is considered unresectable * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2 * Measurable disease * Adequate organ function * No active brain metastases * Prior therapy * No more than 3 prior lines of systemic therapy * Prior therapy with a MET inhibitor is allowed as long as the patient has not had progressive disease while receiving the agent Design: * This is a phase 2 single center non-randomized trial. * The study will be conducted using a Simon 2 stage minimax design. Initially 13 evaluable subjects will be recruited. If there are no responses to therapy, the study will be terminated. If there is at least 1 response an additional 7 evaluable subjects will be accrued. * The two-stage minimax design is based on assuming an ineffective response rate of 5% and a targeted effective response rate of 25%. We also assume that the probability of accepting an ineffective treatment and the probability of rejecting an effective treatment are each 10%. * Subjects will be dosed orally at a starting dose of 600 mg twice daily. * The overall response rate (complete response + partial response) will be determined.

NCT03507452
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, in patients with tumors known to express the protein mesothelin, the following properties of BAY2287411 injection: * safety (to identify, assess, minimize, and appropriately manage the risks associated to the study drug) * tolerability (the degree to which side effects can be tolerated by your body) * maximum tolerated dose * pharmacokinetics (the effect of your body on the study drug) * anti-tumor activity * recommended dose for further clinical development
NCT01524822
Background: \- Repeated exposure to explosions may lead to changes in the way that people think or feel. Breachers (people trained to use explosives to get into buildings) are exposed to repeated blasts as part of their job. Researchers want to study how they might be affected by blast exposure. Breachers will be compared with other groups who have different levels of exposure to repeated blasts. Information will also be obtained from spouses or close companions. Objectives: \- To study the effects of repeated exposure to low-level blasts on thinking, memory, behavior, and brain function. Eligibility: * Experienced military and civilian breachers, experienced active duty artillery operators, and active duty military without frequent blast exposure, 18 and 60 years of age. * Spouses or close companions of these individuals. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected and a urine pregnancy test will be required of participants (not companions) before MRI scanning. * Participants will spend up to 5-days as a NIH clinic outpatient, with about 6 hours of tests each day. Tests will include the following: * Medical and professional history, with questions about exposures to blasts * Tests of thinking, memory, and concentration * Balance tests * Hearing tests * Imaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging, to look at the brain * Overnight sleep study to monitor brain waves * Blood samples * Participants will return 1 year later for a 3-day followup visit. Some of the tests from before will be repeated. A spouse or close companion (if available) will be asked to complete questionnaires or have a telephone interview....

NCT03204305
All participants will be healthy volunteers and all procedures will be completed for research purposes only. Two groups will be recruited, females who use cannabis (marijuana, MJ), and female who do not use cannabis (controls). Female MJ users will be enrolled in a protocol that includes an outpatient drug administration session and a 4-day/3-night inpatient stay on the Johns Hopkins Bayview Clinical Research Unit (CRU). During outpatient visits, MJ users will have an MRI, and complete MJ self-administration and cognitive performance sessions. MJ users will then reside on the CRU,and complete MJ abstinence, and self-report instruments for withdrawal discomfort. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan of brain cannabinoid type 1 receptors will also be completed. Non-users will complete MRI, PET imaging and cognitive testing under an outpatient protocol (no MJ administration).

NCT01059500
Overtesting for Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in low risk Emergency Department(ED) patients can increase exposure of nondiseased patients to radiation, intravenous contrast and anticoagulation. This project addresses question of whether quantitative Pre-Test Probability(PTP) assessed from two validated web-based computer algorithms (the project "webtool"), can improve the diagnostic evaluation of adult patients with charted evidence of chest pain and dyspnea. After a validation phase, the main study will randomize patients to either the Standard care group or the Intervention group, which will receive the output of the ACS and PE webtool that includes the PTP estimates of ACS and PE and one of three recommendations regarding next steps: 1. No further testing, 2. Exclusion with a biomarker protocol, or 3. Immediate imaging +/- empiric anticoagulation.
NCT03805451
This is a formative study, designed to provide information required to tailor Life-Steps for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), an evidence-based cognitive behavioral adherence intervention, to enhance PrEP uptake and adherence in high risk young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and young transgender women who have sex with men (YTWSM). Life-Steps for Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a manualized modular adherence intervention based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), that allows for recipients of the intervention to focus on the greatest challenges that they perceive in maintaining optimal adherence to PrEP.
