This study aims to use new technology involving molecular and imaging tests to help detect liver cancer early in patients. Participants enrolled will participate in it for approximately 5 years. The purpose of this study is to determine if an experimental drug, INT-787, is safe and effective in patients who are hospitalized due to severe alcohol-associated…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus placebo plus atezolizumab plus bevacizumab on patients with HCC. In this study, participants will be randomized you will get either tiragolumab plus atezolizumab plus bevacizumab or placebo plus atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. A placebo…
We are inviting patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to help us better understand how treatment options affect inflammation in soft tissues. With a combination of blood work, a full-body FDG PET-CT scan, questionnaires, and a soft tissue biopsy (from an area around the belly button), we hope to see how RA interacts with these multiple areas of…
This is a research study to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. Particularly, we are looking at the importance of inflammation in the process. If you participate, you will receive an experimental medication for your depression named ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid (ethyl EPA), an omega 3 fatty acid. You will…
The goal of this study is to examine how effective and well-tolerated a possible new treatment for individuals who injure themselves frequently will be. All research procedures can be done from home no in-person visits are required. We are studying a minimal-risk form of electrical brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS.…
Patients will be asked to participate in this research study because they have been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which is a type of liver cancer. By doing this study, researchers hope to: Find out more about patients that have HCC including their age, race/ethnicity, and other medical conditions they may have; learn more about how…
The study aims to compare the effect two different RA treatments on cardiovascular health in patients who are considering a treatment change. The study is recruiting patients who are only taking methotrexate and are switching treatment due to a lack of improvement. The trial will randomize participants to take a TNF inhibitor (Enbrel or Humira) in addition…
We are trying to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. Particularly, we are looking at the importance of dopamine signaling in the process. If you participate, you will have two different brain scans (MRI and PET scan). You will also have treatment for your depression with an FDA approved medication,…
We are doing a research study to learn more about why people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are prone to heart disease. We are recruiting patients diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis without a personal history of heart disease. This study involves one initial full visit as described below, and a brief follow up visit that will take place approximately 2 or…
This study is a double-blind and placebo-controlled study to assess its efficacy of the new drug Lumateperone for patients with Major Depressive Episodes associated with Bipolar I and Bipolar II disorder. Lumateperone is thought to exert its antidepressant effect through interaction with sereotogenic, dopaminergic, and glutamergic neurotransmitter targets.…
We will evaluate the D-cycloserine (DCS) and lurasidone with MRI measurement of brain responses to DCS. DCS is a drug that works on the same brain receptor as ketamine. DCS is not approved by the FDA for bipolar depression. Study participants will receive a dose of lurasidone or placebo in one MRI and a dose of DCS in another, followed by an optional follow…
The purpose of this study is to learn more about TPST-1120. The aims of the study are to find out if TPST-1120 can be given safely to people, to determine a safe dose of the study drug, if it is safe when given in combination with other anti-cancer drugs, what effects the drug may have, and to learn more about how the body processes the study drug. This is…
We are trying to understand what causes bipolar disorder and how medications treat bipolar depression. If you participate, you will have two different brain scans (MRI and PET scan). You will also have antidepressant treatment for free. We will then be able to see whether information on the brain scans connects with how people do on the medications. The…
