The study is being conducted to compare whether an optical correction of bifocal spectacle lenses (BFL) or single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL) is more effective for the treatment of children with esotropia greater at near. Children will be randomized to be treated with BFLs or SVLs for 3 years and be evaluated at regular intervals throughout the study to determine whether their condition has worsened.

This research study is a 3-week clinical trial of dronabinol, a synthetic form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This study is being done to determine if dronabinol is a safe and effective treatment for agitation symptoms related to Alzheimer’s disease. This study will compare dronabinol to a placebo.
12-Week open label clinical trial looking at the effects of nicotinamide riboside on bioenergetic metabolism, oxidative stress, and cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Alzheimer's Disease.
This is a prospective, multi-center clinical study to validate the effectiveness of the Boppli Blood Pressure Monitor as compared to an invasive arterial reference. This study will evaluate the accuracy and precision of the Boppli system for continuous blood pressure monitoring by comparing SBP, DBP, and MAP against the reference methodology in pediatric and neonatal populations.
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, elezanumab, is safe and able to improve cognitive and/or motor functioning in an individual following the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke. This is a 52-week, Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter proof-of concept study.
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, elezanumab, is safe and able to improve function in patients with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI).
This phase II/III trial compares the side effects and activity of oral azacitidine in combination with the standard drug therapy (reduced dose rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-miniCHOP]) versus R-miniCHOP alone in treating patients 75 years or older with newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. R-miniCHOP includes a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein), called rituximab, which attaches to the lymphoma cells and may help the immune system kill these cells.
This phase II trial studies the effect of duvelisib or CC-486 and usual chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisone in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of epcoritamab in adult participants in relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or R/R follicular lymphoma (FL). Epcoritamab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R DLBCL and R/R FL. Study doctors will assess participants in a monotherapy treatment arm of epcoritamab.
This phase III trial compares early treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab versus delayed treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival.
The purpose of this study is to characterize cardiac safety of Daratumumab, Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone (D-VCd) treatment regimens (Arm A: immediate daratumumab + VCd treatment and Arm B: daratumumab + deferred VCd) in newly diagnosed systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis with cardiac involvement and to identify potential mitigation strategies for cardiac toxicity (cohort 1); to characterize the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab, among racial and ethnic minorities, including Black or African American, with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis treated wi
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 2 arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
The phase III trial compares the effect of pembrolizumab to observation for the treatment of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer and the second most common cause of cancer related mortality in the United States. Although the prognosis of patients with BC has greatly improved over the past few years, there are still many unanswered questions. There is growing interest in identifying markers for treatment de-escalation or intensification in early and advanced breast cancer as well as in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Additionally, there are well known differences in disease biology and outcomes in groups from diverse genetic ancestry.
This study will collect real-world clinical and patient reported outcomes (PRO) and diary data from eligible patients with documented Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2+) [globally] or HER2-low [North America only] in routine clinical practice.
This is an open label, multicenter, single arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ribociclib and ET in patients with locoregional recurrence of HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
This phase II trial tests how well an imaging procedure called fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works in predicting response to standard of care chemotherapy prior to surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage IIa-IIIc breast cancer. FDG is a radioactive tracer that is given in a vein before PET/CT imaging and helps to identify areas of active cancer. PET and CT are imaging techniques that make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body.
This phase III trial compares the effects of olanzapine versus megestrol acetate in treating loss of appetite in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Olanzapine may stimulate and increase appetite. This study aims to find out if olanzapine is better than the usual approach (megestrol acetate) for stimulating appetite and preventing weight loss.
The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment approach (surgery followed by chemotherapy) to using chemotherapy followed by surgery and then more chemotherapy
