NCT03738046
Community-based treatments for adolescents at risk for psychosis are not widely available, nor are there established, gold-standard psychosocial group interventions for this population. The HOPE TEAM, Helping Overcome Prodromal Experiences through Treatment and Evaluation of Adolescent Minds (PI: Bachman; funded by The Pittsburgh Foundation) is an early detection and intervention program for youth at clinical high risk for psychosis which aims to help them by engaging existing community resources, providing assessment, and offering trauma-informed psychotherapy. Embedded within the Family Care Connection Center at Turtle Creek, the HOPE TEAM offers individual psychotherapy as part of its clinical service model. The present study seeks to evaluate, in a small and preliminary sample (n = 20), the feasibility and effectiveness of a 24-week Cognitive-Behavioral Social Skills Therapy (CBSST) group intervention for CHR adolescents who are part of the HOPE TEAM. To that end, the current proposal will seek to conduct brief research assessments to assess the group members' perceptions of the group's utility, as well as their current clinical symptoms and functioning prior to, during, and after participating in this group. The goals of this pilot project are to 1) identify which aspects of the group perceived to be most and least helpful by participating adolescents, and 2) evaluate whether participation in the group meaningfully improves participants' clinical symptoms and functioning. The investigators aim to use these pilot data to guide future selection of treatment targets in this clinical practice, and to identify future strategies for increasing satisfaction and retention in community-based group interventions for CHR adolescents.
NCT01925729
This study will determine if exposure to an allergy material (ragweed) or exposure to an allergic-symptom-provoking substance (histamine) and medications typically used to decongest the nose changes the rate of blood-flow in the lining of the middle-ear. Otitis media (the build-up of water-like fluid in the middle-ear airspace) may occur if the blood flow in the lining of the middle-ear is too high and may be prevented if a way could be found to lower the blood flow in persons susceptible to the disease. Middle-ear blood flow is measured indirectly by measuring the change in middle-ear pressure while a person breathes a gas mixture containing nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"). In this study, 4 groups of subjects will be entered and middle-ear pressure in persons breathing a mixture of 50% Oxygen, 50% Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas")will be measured after exposure to one of four substances (ragweed, histamine,an oral decongestant, a decongestant nasal spray) and a fake medication (placebo) at separate test sessions. All subjects will have one set of 2 x-rays of the middle ears and mastoids. The group exposed to ragweed will require 3 study visits while the other 3 groups will have 2 study visits. From this information middle-ear blood flow will be calculated. This will help determine the relationship between what happens in the nose and what happens in the middle ear.
NCT03267940

NCT03485651
The purpose of this study is to enroll participants who present with an adnexal mass on imaging to develop a non-invasive ovarian cancer assay to distinguish between malignant and benign masses. The study will collect blood, tissue, and health information from these individuals.
NCT02414165
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 2/3 study of Toca 511 and Toca FC versus standard of care that comprises Investigator's choice of single agent chemotherapy (lomustine or temozolomide) or bevacizumab administered to subjects undergoing resection for first or second recurrence (including this recurrence) of GBM or AA. Subjects meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized prior to surgery in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Toca 511 and Toca FC (Experimental arm, Arm T) or control treatment with one option of standard of care (Arm SOC). Stratification will be done by IDH1 mutation status. A second stratification factor is based on the patient's Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) (70-80 vs 90-100). Further, to account for potential differences in treatment choices for the control arm in regions, the trial will be stratified by geographical region during the randomization process.

NCT02694328
This study will evaluate weight gain of ALKS 3831 compared to olanzapine in adult subjects with schizophrenia.
NCT01298219
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lubiprostone administration in subjects with Opioid-induced Bowel Dysfunction.
NCT01158651
The purpose of this research study is to learn if the study drug RAD001 can shrink or slow the growth of low-grade gliomas in children with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Additionally, the safety of RAD001 will be studied. The study drug, RAD001, is a drug that may act directly on tumor cells by preventing tumor cell growth and development. RAD001 has been studied in participants with various types of cancer as a single agent (a drug that is used alone to treat the cancer) or in combination with a number of well known anticancer therapies. Information from these research studies suggests that RAD001 may help to shrink or slow the growth of low-grade gliomas. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see the response of RAD001 in children with low-grade gliomas and NF1 that have either not responded to treatment or have come back after treatment. We are also looking for the highest dose of RAD001 that can be given safely in this patient population.
